In mid-September, 1998, Carole and Jay Furr adopted a kitten from the  Humane Society of Chittenden County, Vermont. The small, scrawny white-and-ginger kitten came home on September 23, 1998, and soon took over the Furrs' house in Essex Junction.

A cat needs a name, of course, and Jay and Carole had no particular wish to select a trite, clichéd name name like "Ginger" or "Muffin." After much stream-of-consciousness free-association trading back and forth of proposed names, the name they settled on was "The Cat Who Was Thursday," "Thursday" for short, after the classic G.K. Chesterton novel, "The Man Who Was Thursday."

The following "thumbnail" pictures of Thursday are presented for your enjoyment.
