Thanksgiving is approaching rather quickly. It's an annual favorite for most – who can resist the turkey roasting in the oven, the fire rolling, the distant family members showing up to give you that once-a-year hug and tell you how much you've grown? Here at ICanHasCheezburger, we love Thanksgiving festivities. Every good cat parent knows that our furry felines are just a part of the festivities as hoomans are. As Thanksgiving approaches, the mood shifts from chaos to cozy. Families gather, kitchens fill with delicious chaos, and somewhere in the background, a cat inevitably knocks over the gravy boat. Cat memes perfectly capture this pre-feast energy: the lazy loafs perched near the oven's warmth, the mischievous paws reaching for the pumpkin pie, and the judgmental stares that silently ask why they don't get a plate at the table.

It's no secret that cats think they're the center of every celebration. While we hoomans spend hours marinating, chopping, and basting, cats are the true overseers of Thanksgiving preparations. They supervise with regal indifference, batting at stray green beans and curling up in laundry baskets full of freshly washed tablecloths. These memes immortalize what cats bring to the table – the smug kitty wearing a pilgrim hat, the fluffy feline buried in mashed potato dreams, and the tabby claiming the turkey leg before anyone else.
