I am thankful for my curious kitties.
I have old cats. They move slowly, sleep a lot, and groom little. They look and act very much like the 19-year-old cats they are. But yesterday, their younger selves emerged when we brought out the Christmas decorations. They sniffed, pawed, and otherwise tried to dominate the different Christmas containers and bags. And for this spark of curiosity that I saw in Annie and Leo, I am thankful.
(And I'm also thankful that they aren't knocking all of the ornaments off the tree, or knocking it over, for that matter.)
