This is 2-year-old Dagny, who was adopted from the local shelter back in October. For years, I had wanted to adopt an adult cat in need of a home. I had criteria in mind when I went to the shelter. Specifically, I wanted a male orange tabby.
My mind was only changed when I walked by Dagny's cage and she ran up to the door, trilling and rolling around and generally putting on a big show. As I was spending time with her, the shelter worker told me that . . . read the rest of Dagney's story

It's remarkable that we only have one day set aside officially to give thanks for our blessings. Perhaps I feel that way because I've reached the age where I no longer take the bounty life has given me for granted, and now give thanks every day for my blessings. Since Thanksgiving is only a few days away in the U.S., I thought it would be appropriate to spread our thanks over a period of time instead of waiting for the "big day." I'll start, then add more thanks as the days pass by, and I encourage my readers to contribute.
The well-toned upper body of a healthy cat will give the impression of supple strength, which in movement translates to speed, agility, and grace. To see a cat crouched down on the hunt for prey, and moving in a slow motion "crawl" is poetry in motion. His frame is aligned perfectly, and every muscle, tendon, and bone move in tandem.
