Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Readers:

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you all!  I have been quite busy these last several months.  The hunting has been exceptional.  Of course, I do not hunt deer, but I captured a huge dove and presented it to Cliocatra on the porch.  As I lounged, savoring my kill and feeling quite the warrior, she devoured it with relish.  Only one feather was left when she was done.  Dove meat is one of her favorites!

With the recent rains, the leaves are more colorful than before.  I stroll around the neighborhood, taking in the sights and visiting all my friends.  I have been to see Pam Downs, and Coach and Linda Lloyd.  I visited my Aunt Sharon, who has moved into her new trailer since my last epistle.  She has very steep steps though, and I haven't actually gone in to see her.  I prefer to sit on top of her car and call to her.

I was able to catch a squirrel the other day, and of course we (Cliocatra and I) consumed all but the tail which we left under the chair for our keepers.  Nothing like a good squirrel!

The moon has been full these last few nights, and I love to spend the whole night outside, watching all the wildlife.  Armadillos, foxes, possums, coons, and dogs all come by late at night.  Sometimes I see other cats, but since I've become so buff, they don't bother me.  I am truly a well muscled specimen now!

There is a plague of ticks going on.  My keepers are pulling 3 to 5 ticks off of me every time I come in.  They got some medicine to put on me that will repel the ticks and I am so glad.  I just can't stand a tick.

I have a new photo of myself resting after a long night out.  Sometimes I have to sleep all day following a night of frolic and prowling. 

Be safe, dear Readers, and as we begin to prepare for the Christmas season, count your blessings and remember in spite of all the awful things on the TV, this is a wonderful world to live in!  I'm thankful for you all this beautiful season. 

Love,
Your Hotep
