Oh Thank Cuteness!

In the States we will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday.  This year Generation Q has started off a week of Oh Thank Cuteness! posts.  Bloggers share about things they're grateful for, the cute things in life.  For those of us without children, it generally means talking about our furry kids.  But in my case, it has to be once removed.

Most of you already know that we no longer have any pets here at Casa P.  The last of our geriatric animals died last April. It would have been much harder to make the adjustment to a "no pet" household if it weren't for these two characters, Stinka and Petey.

We are so lucky that our neighbors don't mind their cats hanging out in our yard.  Of course, I suspect that even if our neighbors did mind, the cats wouldn't pay one bit of attention and would continue to show up regularly to inspect gopher holes, play hide and seek in the planter beds, catch lizards and generally get up to cat mischief.

Last month, we even got a card from these two.  I laugh every time I look at this card.  I can imagine Stinka sitting and reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or "The Art of War".

I'm grateful for these critters and for their owners who let them spend time here at Casa P.  I'm grateful for many other things as well.  Family, friends and you, my faithful blog readers.
