Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and we all love the food. It’s pretty much the food holiday: turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, and moms apple pie. We don’t know about you, but we’re more that excited to be around the dinner table, even if our weird aunt and angsty cousin are there too. Cats love thanksgiving too. They love the family getting together, they love the smell of turkey in the air, and more than anything they love that they get the leftovers. And even though the food is delicious, there’s a limit to how much you can eat. Cats, of course, do not recognize limits. Oh no. Thanksgiving to them is an Olympic-level eating event, and they will absolutely go for gold. The moment the table is cleared, they materialize like tiny, furry vacuum cleaners ready to “help” with the scraps. One paw on the edge of the counter, whiskers twitching, pupils dilated like they’ve just invented hunger for the first time in history. Your aunt’s casserole? They want it. The gravy boat? They need it. The turkey carcass? They would fight a pilgrim for it. And let’s be honest-they’re not subtle about it. Cats will stare directly into your soul as you attempt to pack leftovers, as if sheer eye contact will convince you to “accidentally” drop some turkey on the floor.
