Hello everyone, thanks to you all for stopping by for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am always thankful to each of you for joining us! Each and every Thursday we share the things for which we are most thankful and we always enjoy reading all of the things you are thankful for too. If you are new to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!
It’s my 14th Gotcha Day and I’m so thankful to be able to celebrate another one with all of you. Can you believe it, 14 years already, time sure flies by so quickly. As most of you know, I was born on a Christmas Tree Farm in 2008 and I was adopted just three days before Christmas. No wonder I love the Christmas holiday so much! Our dear friend Sandy rescued me and took care of me until I came home. She owned Kitten Action Team but has since retired and moved away Thanks Sandy, I will always be thankful you found me and took care of me.
So much has changed over those 14 years. My loved and special Brother Ivan ran to the Rainbow Bridge just eleven months after I was adopted, I miss him so much. At one point there was nine of us inside, but sadly Sascha, Gracie, Zoe, Precious, Kit and Dolly now are Angels too. Now we’re a family of six with the additions of Kiki, Maxwell and Macy. I’m thankful for all of them.
One thing hasn’t changed, I still have the best blogging pals ever. Talk about an extended family, I love each and every one of you and I still do a happy dance when new followers join us. Thanks for coming by today to help me celebrate, I appreciate and am thankful for all of you!
Here’s the Santa Watch with Kiki for today…
So, what are you thankful for today? Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Happy Dance for Brian’s Gotcha Day! I wish you many, many more.
Happy happy HAPPY Gotchaversary, Brian!
Good job too, of teaching Kiki the right way to watch for Santa.
Happy 14th Gotcha Day, Brian! Love the intent look on Kiki’s face, she is on this!
Happy 14th Gotcha Day, Brian. You found the best forever family. And you’re doing a fantastic job teaching Kiki how to watch for Santa.
Happy gotcha day, dear Brian. What a special day to celebrate you and your family. We are super thankful for you and your friendship. XO
Wow, 14 years already! Happy Gotcha Day, Brian!! We love you bunches! <3
We wish we had known your brother, Ivan. We knew all your sisters and cried as each one went to Rainbow Bridge. We will all see each other again someday, though, I believe that.
Hope you got some treats today to celebrate your special day! <3

Happy Gotcha Day, Brian! We hope the day is wonderful for you! ♥
Brian, you are most certainly a Christmas boy. What a wonderful gift you have given your human parents all these years. By just being you. I see that Miss Kiki is doing a fantastic job. She’s a quick learner.
Happy Gotcha Day, Brian! That is a lot of wonderful years to have spent with your wonderful family. We too miss all those who have gone, but we are very glad you have some wonderful youngsters with you now, and we hope to celebrate many more Gotcha Days with you!
Purrs,

We are looking forward to getting to know Macy and Max. Sending love.
