Dr Tweety: "Az you can cleerly see, I haz been left in charge of peelin' dis mound of taterz. You haz gots to be kiddin! It's not enuff dats I had to cook a pie & peel a tur-key!"
"Delilah? Will you helps me wit dis mountain of taterz?"
Delilah: "This Turkey Day work is getting out of hand... what exactly did you want me to do Uncle Tweety?"
Dr Tweety: "Well honey... you gots to spitz on 'em, pokey holez in 'dere skinz & stix 'em in a pot of water."Delilah: "SPIT? I do not think I will spit on our lovely Thanksgiving dinner... not me, no way!"
Dr Tweety: "Well dats it fur moi. I yam outta here. No cat or da momee wants to help wit dis tur-key of a din-din!
Sigh-oh-snora!"
Sigh-oh-snora!"
Delilah: "If he thinks I am going to do all of the prep work, he's out of his ever-loving floofy mind!"
The Narrator: And so it was, it came to pass. The ingredients so lovely, sat lonely on the chopping board... no chef in sight. Celery so green, onions so sweet, garlic so pungent, apples so tart, butter so rich, oranges so juicy, cornbread so moist... all abandoned.
Mushrooms, lonely mushrooms...
A sizzling pan awaiting the onions and mushrooms and a pot of turkey necks bubbling away. But no Tweet in sight!
Although mysteriously, while a sweet potato pie cools on the counter,
A raw turkey sits in the ice box... alone... so alone. Poor bird.
Delilah: "I can't believe this!!! Tweeeeeeeeeety!!!! Where are you??? TWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!! Get in here and finish this dinner!"
Maximillian: "Good Godfrey! That screeching could wake the dead Delilah! This is Thanksgiving... try and remember us older cats."
Auntie Stinkie: "Daddy? I think I know where Tweet is. Let me whisper in your ear."
The Narrator: Alas, Auntie Stinkie was mistaken. There was no Tweet in the bedroom... only a lonely, indentation where once a cat lay sleeping."
Delilah: "Mommy!!! Daddy!!! I found him!!!"
The Narrator: And there, upon his throne, slept the noble Tweet. Oblivious to the raw turkey, the uncooked giblets, the unwhipped cream, and the uncorked wine.
Dr Tweety: (Dreaming) & A HAPPY TankSGIVING TO ALL!!!

Oh Dr. Tweety, we're not surprised you went on strike. You work so hard and no one to help you.
A Happy Thanksgiving to all of you - just *look at all that food. I hope the turkey got done in time! :)
Dr Tweety

Delilah, I will come and help you! I shall bring 6 squirrels, skinned, and we shall saute them in butter, onion, garlic and a little white wine. Then, while you sip your own wine, I shall put them into a pan and into the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes-ish, or until they smell right. We'll mash a few potatoes and cook some stuffed carrots and have a little cranberry sauce on the side. You set the table all pretty and call all the others...And dinner will be served!
Then, it's time for a nice snuzzle and a sleep!
Oh my goodness look at all the wonderfur fixins you got....and no cook...that is not good.
Love from Miss Peach
Oh Dr T, you abandoned the din-din!!! I would do the same too. I am sure the dinner would fix itself. Hope your momee's knee is a bit better. No good that your gran has pneumonia. My hardest purr for her to get better soonest. SS had it 2 winters ago and that was no fun. She pulled through OK, then again she was not 86!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Thankyou for thinking of me and sending the turkey!!!
Oh Dr Tweety, the whole of Thanksgiving will fall apart unless you summon your troops to save the day!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, all of you, even if you don't get any dinner because a certain Dr was sleeping!

Dr Tweety, we are sending ofer our magic potato peeler. As we unnerstand, The Big Thing just holds it and the potatoes magically move themselfs along it, takin off their peels. We hope it isnt arrivin too late!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving Gang!! Dr. Tweety, I can not blame you for being so tired. You've been working so hard since your mommy got hurty. I hope the other kitties pitched in so that nummy looking raw turkey got cooked and eated!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Dr Tweety and co!
I think many cats and their families have this labor-division problem at Thanksgiving. Nobody should be stuck with all the work, unless the work includes eating.
We hope your Mommy's knee is better. The beans ran away from home for Thanksgiving so we had a very lonely and boring day in the garage. The Mom promised to cook us a Turkey tomorrow. We hope your meal got cook and that your had a Happy Thanksgiving. ~S,S & C
We hope dinner got made and you had a great Thanksgiving!
Cute post. Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving!
--JB
Now that's what I call a great Thanksgiving story. Lovely, lovely food too. FAZ
Aw, a happy ending anyway, Dr. Tweety! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Realy liked the Thanksgiving story you added to your post with all the holiday fixings going on. That is one big bird. Wouldn't you have liked to see that one running around in your front yard? I think it might scare me though.
looks like yoo did great jobby on da fud!
Dood! I hope that you all had lots o' turkey for Thanksgiving like I did! Yum!
Woof!
Shadow Saluki
Oh my goodness! Such a dilemma with all of that food needing fixing and preparation! We sure hope that it was all fixed in time for dinner!
