As Thanksgiving is upon us, those of you that have pets in your busy holiday home know what usually happens, the cat or the dog end up getting overfed by 10 different guests at your holiday gathering, because they show that same cute, fuzzy, begging face to every person, and act as if they haven't been fed all day.
