Thanksgiving Turkey

One year my mother put the turkey in the sink to thaw out overnight with plans to get up at 5 a.m. and get it in the oven. Unfortunately, somehow the cats managed to get it out of the sink and onto the kitchen floor where they and the dog proceeded to gnaw on for quite a while. She found out about it when one of the cats ralphed on the bed and the dog was sick all over the house. No turkey on the table that year.

The dog was sorry. Really, really sorry and deeply embarrassed by her transgressions but insisted that she was led into sin by the devil cats and couldn't help herself. The cats were completely unapologetic and said they'd do it again next year if they had the opportunity. Cats.....

Oh no! Naughty animals. I would love to have seen them do that--how did the cat do that? The fact it was setting in water (wet) it must have been slippery plus it must have outweighed the cat. Had to have taken some skill and a lot of determination. The dog was an opportunist. Must have been a disappointing Thanksgiving.

Cats...plural. Cats working together can move the world.
