A Thanksgiving Update

Thanksgiving dinner

Michael and I had a nice small Thanksgiving. I made a 12lb turkey, a pumpkin pie, and mashed potatoes. Michael made a corn casserole.

Today we tried to make turkey pot stickers to get rid of the extra turkey, but I think they would taste better with chicken.

Little kitty on me.

I have new little critter running around my house. Her name has been a great challenge and so mostly she is just called Little Kitty. She is a four month old cat we adopted from the Michiana Pet Advocacy Center. We were told that she was found in a wood pile located in an abandoned lot where people dumped animals. The rescue worker who found her caught her tail as she darted between the logs. When worker pulled her out, the kitty started hissing, spitting, and scratching like crazy. Four about the first two weeks of her foster care, she didn't come near people, and then suddenly one day she changed her mind and became, according to her foster mother, the sweetest little purr machine.

The little kitty may look like a mini Kerrigan, but her personality is nothing like the larger cat. Kerrigan is affectionate, but can be skittish and stand-offish when faced with new people, things, or places. The little kitty can't wait to explore and make friends. She has even taken to climbing our small Christmas tree so she can bat at the ornaments.

So far, Kerrigan has not been too crazy about the little one but I think she will come around soon.
