Hello again; this is The Missus. Yeti and Peekaboo have dominated the blog for a while, but The Mister and I wanted to wish everyone here a Happy New Year along with them. <\/p>\n

This is the time that we humans reflect on the past and look to the future, thinking of a New Year, a New Start, and a New Opportunity. And then we often ruin it.<\/p>\n

Cats, being nearly perfect and not ones to think they need to change, don’t make New Year’s Resolutions. People, on the other hand (or other paw), often go through the motions of such an annual ambition more often than they follow through. I’m sure the cats shake their heads at us.<\/p>\n

In order to avoid looking silly (sillier?) in the eyes of our Fluffy Ones, The Mister and I have decided that it is absurd to make resolutions once a year – it’s too much pressure, and almost a self-sabotaging method to begin with. It isn’t that we don’t need to self-actualize or improve or break bad habits, but to dump it all on ourselves at once is self-defeating. So to curb the insanity, we learned to not put too much stock in an arbitrary day on the calendar, and to realize that we can start over any day of the year, over and over, as long as it takes.<\/p>\n

After all, wouldn’t it be a better year if we realized we could have a clean slate every day?<\/p>\n

May you all have a wonderful New Start for each of the next 365 days!<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Well, she said it: silly<\/i> indeed. But I think she found a cure.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: I<\/i> hope they resolve to feed us more nom-noms.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: So you can get fat?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: I didn’t think about that.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Then again, when you eat too much it just comes back up….<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: We don’t have to talk about that now…or ever.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Why don’t you<\/i> resolve to restrain yourself?<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Why don’t you<\/i> resolve to mind your own business??<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: It is<\/i> my business if it was my<\/i> food you hair-balled up…. Resolve to stop stealing!<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Hey…I’m just taking hold of New Opportunity when you leave some behind.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: Way to rationalize.<\/p>\n

Boo<\/b>: Makes my<\/i> year better.<\/p>\n

Yeti<\/b>: [sighs<\/i>] Happy Mew Year.<\/p>\n
