If you're looking to use up leftovers, shepard's pie is the way to go.

If not, I usually want something as far from a turkey dinner as possible by Saturday, so I'd go with a giant chef's salad or maybe a big stir-fry.

askye, I would at least ask the landlady if you can get in to feed them. Poor things.

Thanks for the suggestions, people! I think maybe lasagna and meatball sandwiches for the kids, with a big green salad. Easy and yummy and very much not!turkey.

Landlady isn't home and wont' be for awhile. I got the neighbor's number and called to see if the landlady or I could get permission to go in, but it went straight to voicemail. I just hope she calls back.

Talked to the landlady, if neighbor doesn't call before she leaves work then LL is going to call the police and explain the situation and make sure it's okay that she access the apartment without the neighbor's permission.

Then I'm going to politely explain what happened, why we did it, and offer to take at least one, but offer to take both if she can't care for them and the landlady and I are going to split the care until home(s) can be found.

askye - yay for Thanksgiving kittens?

I can hear little kitten mewings in my head. I want kittens! Damned jealous Shadow.

We'll see. I think the neighbor is goign to be really defensive but I'm going to try and be polite and sweet about it.

Really I want to storm in, take the kittens, and tell her tough luck, she lost them when she neglected them.

I really think leaving them alone for as long as she has constitutes enough neglect to be reported.

Especially kittens, I think. They're babies, after all.

I have seventeen things to do today, all outside the house, and it's raining and cold and filthy out. Blech.

So, I appear to have made an offer on a house.

Wheee! good luck!

Congrats on the house Perkins, it looks really pretty.
