Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I’m sure you’re getting ready so everything will be just perfect! Meanwhile, some of our pets are also getting the attention because, you know, everything must be perfect! These nine pictures of pets that love celebrating Thanksgiving just as much as their owners are just lovely to see (and will give you a quick break from planning dinner). So, relax and enjoy!
“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.” - G.K. Chesterton
Say Thanks to the Friends You Have
![Appreciate your friends and the time they spend with you!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-one.jpg)
One thing most people like to say thanks to is their family and friends, so why not extend the thanks to our furry friends as well? This is a really nice example (whether this photo is photoshopped not, who cares, right?) to remember and thank everyone who’s around you for being in your life!
Happy Kitty
![Kitty is all dressed up for Thanksgiving this year!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-two.jpg)
This cat was ready for Halloween last month, and he can keep on wearing that outfit to enjoy Thanksgiving Day as well! Not that he’s too happy about it, but not all cats are photogenic, so we can blame the camera for that, right?
Thanks for the Bday
![A Thanksgiving birthday can only mean one thing: more food!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-three.jpg)
How about this adorable hamster whose birthday is on Thanksgiving? You can surely take the opportunity here to give thanks for having the most adorable pet ever! And it seems he’s really looking forward to eating dinner too.
Guinea Pig and His Pal

Since we’re on small animals, here’s a cute guinea pig making friends with this fake turkey. I can totally see how this friendship will be a long-lasting one, can’t you?
Look At All That Food
![You give food to dogs and they'll sure be this happy!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-five.jpg)
Doggo over here can’t help but smile knowing it’s the holidays season and there’ll be food everywhere. Just oh so much food! And of course he’s also smiling since that mini pilgrim costume is that adorable!
Talking About Dogs and Food
![It's important to know what not to give your dog!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-dogs.jpg)
You may feel tempted to give your dog some of the delicious food, but make sure that you’re giving him stuff he can actually eat! The list above has everything on the Thanksgiving blacklist for dogs, so be prepared!
I Can Have This One, Human
![This dog's expectation is just so much fun to see!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-six.jpg)
“Hi human, is this one mine?”
“You can have a piece of it, but not the whole thing! It’s for everyone...”
![Can't help but laugh at a bad boy that's this adorable!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-six2.jpg)
“Woof?”
Okay, okay, I realize it’s not the same dog. Couldn’t miss out on the joke, though.
Pilgrim Hedgehog
![Hedgehogs are too adorable to handle!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-seven.jpg)
While making these photo collections I’ve grown to love hedgehogs! They’re such cute creatures,
I mean,
They’re never doing much, they’re just really simple, but that makes them just so cute somehow!
Birdy Craft for Thanksgiving
![This parrot can craft good!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-eight.jpg)
This parrot is so excited for Thanksgiving that he’s even started crafting! He’s good too, better than myself when I got started - maybe he saw this list and learned from other people’s mistakes?
After Eating Thanksgiving Dinner…
![This cat's just taking a nap after Thanksgiving dinner!](https://homeyou.s3.amazonaws.com/media/pets-ready-for-thanksgiving/thanksgiving-pets-nine.jpg)
Just a bonus photo for you to see how everyone - animals and humans included - will look after eating the Thanksgiving dinner. This cat says it all: full, lazy, but most importantly: so peaceful!
