athena has tagged me for the thanksgiving game. i should mention five things i am thankful for - before i tag five friends to do the same.
thankful. hmmmmmmmmmm...
i am thankful...
...that there are no bars in my life anymore.
neither those i mentioned below (nov. 9) nor those they had in v-hospital when i was a kitten. human has even found a c-thing without bars and if i would admit it – i'd be thankful even for my new c-thing.
...for every good-bye i meowed to my anxieties.
bye-bye, fear of leather gloves! bye-bye, fear of strangers in my home (i do not like them – but they don't scare me today)! bye-bye, fear of being homeless! bye-bye, fear of being hurt! bye-bye fear of the bathtub! bye-bye!!!
...for those tiny signs that tell me human likes me a bit:
treats, a blanket on her holy desk, a cat net to prevent i jump out of the window while chasing a moth, the c-thing (look above), the wink kissies, … oh, and that she calls me to lick the yoghurt from the cup's foil
...for friends in catsterland and in real life.
friends make you smile when you're sad. friends ask how you are when you feel alone. friends don't ask when you don't want to talk much. friends take care the mean person feeds me well and does not forget my treats. friends are essential.
...for silence in my home.
only human's working noises and the birds singing for me in front of my window.
birds??? in front of my window??? now??? wait – that was not singing, that was mocking. sorry, guys. i will have to tell the feathered jerk a tone…
ok. i have to tell you: bird is thankful for "window". but one day...
these are the cats whose thanksgiving thoughts i'd like to read:
aa, chadwick, dusty, greyson, nük

i feel better today. i guess i will have to accept that i can only shout my bye-byes and hope they reach my leaving friends. anyway i can be a happy cat to HAVE friends, right!!!
the humans in this city today have a big party. not alone. many thousands of international guests joined them. i feel a bit uncomfortable and am really happy the same time. so - here are my thoughts about today. the thoughts of "only the stupid cat".
it was nov. 9, 1989, exactly 20 years ago, when the most symbolic part of the "iron curtain" disappeared. [and please spare me my comments about human "ideologies"!] the berlin wall was opened.
i wasn't yet born then. momma wasn't born then. most likely even great-grandmom wasn't planned, i guess. nevertheless this day was meaningful and special for my, ishtar's, personal life. if that day had gone a different way - i had never met the mean person...
she had never moved to an enclosed and fenced place.
i had never been brought to the modern new-built shelter.
she might today be living with a smelly dog?!
most likely i wouldn't have survived my kittenhood?!
she would have missed the chance of getting to know my wonderful personality.
i would have missed "education".
i would say that in the end both of us can be happy in one or the other way about the press conference a whole long cat life ago that made our get-together possible. the press conference in which a guy more or less accidentally announced complete freedom of movement "from this moment on" for all eastern germans. including my ancestors.
and here we are -
i, the kitty from the east, and she, the know-it-all from the dutch frontier... together and a team. a good team - thanks to my patience!
and both of us promise we won't forget this lucky day is not the only anniversary to remember. we will also keep in mind those for whom this day - some years before - was one obvious preview and/on pure horror...

i got a gift while i was sorting my thoughts over the coming anniversary. and now i am sad. the gift came from two kitty friends - beautiful calico natasha and liliya with the greatest blue eyes i ever knew. and apparantly it was a good-bye :´( i cannot find them anymore.
girls, i hope you come and read this. i miss you! whatever were your reasons to leave - i hope they had nothing to do with anything negative. neither in your nor your humans' lives. you'll be in my thoughts forever!
sorry, guys. today i won't leave a meouw about how lucky i personally am because of tomorrow's anniversary
today i am not happy.
