Kitty Thanksgiving

Tulip was very interested in all the activity and smells on Thanksgiving morning. We got up early to straighten up the house a bit, then we started cooking. We baked some pies, cooked some garlic mashed potatoes with leeks, butternut squash, stuffing. Kitty's little, pink nose was going a hundred miles an hour. She kept swinging by the kitchen to see what was going on.

Evie's parents came over for dinner. Tulip kitty hid out for most of the day. Every once in a while she poked her head out to see what was going on.

While we were eating, kitty sat in the hallway by the kitchen. She was either hungry or feeling really brave. Eve gave her a plate with a few bites of turkey on it, which she inhaled. After dinner she ran past the table into the living room, where she sat and listened in on our conversations. At one point she let mom get close enough for a quick pet. She's slowly warming up.

After mom and dad left, we watched TV for a while. The next thing I knew it was 1 AM, so we went to bed. I carried kitty into the bedroom and plopped her on the bed. She curled up in a ball between us and went right to sleep. I think she had a pretty good day.
