Thanksgiving is the last stepping stone following the wholesome, introverted atmosphere of the Fall months. The cinnamonial-pumpkined-cuddly route leads exactly to the sofa where you're currently lying with your siblings, too stuffed to do anything other than sing "Shot Through the Heart" offbeat. These heartwarming family meowments are just the energy boost to get through the upcoming freezing days at the office, and the series of bad dates around the corner. Even the Thanksgiving Eves spiced up with a little family drama have a lively energy.
We don't know if it's because we love cats so much or if it's objectively true, but this golden-brown-nutmegish path toward Thanksgiving is even better and more invigorating with fluffy felines around. They just match Thanksgiving purrfectly. They're cuddly, they're plumy, they're dramatic, and they love turkey - it's like the whole country turns into a capacious set for a new cat photos calendar.
Since you're probably in a horizontal position right now and not planning to move soon, we suggest you let your cuddly cat calmly curl up on your lap and scroll with the only moveable organ you have right now - finger - through these hilarious cat Thanksgiving memes. Laughter can alleviate your sluggishness, and in addition, it prevents you from singing, which spares the ears of the rest of the family.
If we're stuffing ourselves so overwhelmingly, the least we can do is own it. You had too much turkey, said you couldn't eat another bite even if they'd pay you, and then you had to have the pie? Relinquish it! Let future you deal with the consequences.
It might sound a bit emotional, but if you can take Thanksgiving as a breather, it has a lasting effect. Whether it's family or friends, as long as you're spending quality time with people who care about you, you're regaining your strength. And of course, embarrassing your sister in front of everyone while discussing her love life is just a bonus.
