I am catsitting for a woman who is out of state with her family for Thanksgiving - she had texted me something about leaving me turkey in the fridge.....I thought it would be some slices or a leg but when I looked in her fridge today I saw it was a WHOLE UNCOOKED TURKEY. I reread her texts and saw I had missed the part where she said it was a turkey she got from work. Aw jeez, I don't cook and have to work anyways so I called a coworker in a panic asking WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS THING? He made a couple of calls and quickly found a single mother of five who would GLADLY take it off my hands so I took it to him at work and off it went.

WOOOO!!!

[roguevalley]

9. awesome. I got one from work and gave it to the food bank.

I love turkey but it would rot before I ate all of it. Happy Thanksgiving!

[lovemydog]

12. Skittles, you rock.

Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

Kick ass.

[BlueJazz]

14. I hope you took the rocket launcher from the thing.

[Ilsa]

15. Mom and 5 kids are gonna have

Thanksgiving dinner with turkey, turkey pot pie, turkey sandwiches, turkey salad, etc for days (freeze what won't be eaten the next day). You and your friends saved her loads of money on meals.

I'm hoping something good comes your way.

17. that thing was so freaking heavy

someone helped me carry it in (I also tote a laptop and other stuff).....that was one big bird

[SoapBox]

16. Good job Skittles!

And...

don't sit on the cat anymore.

[montana_hazeleyes]

18. Imagine the mom's great feeling to have this unexpected blessing.

Good all the way around. I love stories like this.

[Skittles]

19. I was thinking about that

someone somewhere wanting a turkey whereas my reaction to finding one is WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS THING!!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

21. +1 n/t

[JDPriestly]

20. That's the spirit of the season.

Hey! You made me feel like Christmas is almost here. Can it be true?

Happy Thanksgiving for you -- and a premature Merry Christmas for you. Great job. I bet the person you gave the turkey will really enjoy it.

[cwydro]

22. Lol. I would have cooked that turkey!

But yes, a turkey can be a bit overwhelming if one is not prepared for a damn turkey!

[Skittles]

23. I work holidays

loooong hours

[cwydro]

25. This is one of the few I haven't worked.

So I'm cooking.

Thinking working might have been easier lol.

Wishing you a happy one anyway!

[GoneFishin]

24. Good job.

[passiveporcupine]

26. What a sweet thing to do!

[sunnystarr]

27. Nice save by the cat owner ...

I visualized it happening this way ...

Cat lady left in a hurry to beat traffic (either to the airport or just the highway) and forgot all about that turkey in the fridge. Now she's of of town and slaps her head and and yells ... OH NOOOOO!! She thinks about the stink of rotting turkey in her fridge when she gets home and panics. Then she remembers her wonderful cat sitter and the light bulb shines brightly over head. She quickly texts Skittles to let her know that she left turkey in the fridge for her. Problem solved and a family of 6 had a humongous turkey to eat off for days. Life is good.

[trof]

28. You. Don't. Cook. ???

Sorry.
I just pictured you as a fantastic cook.
In addition to you ass kicking talent.
dang

[darkangel218]

33. Cooking is overrated!

[

[trof]

29. No, this worked out 'well'.

But 'good' on ya for finding a good home for the bird.
KICK ASS!

[Cleita]

30. I'm cat sitting too, although no one left a turkey for the cat.

From one cat sitter to another. Happy thanksgiving. The kitties are much better company over the holidays anyway. I'm certain that family will enjoy the unexpected turkey dinner.

[darkangel218]

32. I've done pet sitting before ( had 2 manx cats, 2 rabbits and 1 chihuahua to look after)

Hope all went well!!!!!
