New Year’s Day is a time to reflect on the previous year and establish resolutions for the coming year. If your cat was on the naughty list last year, here are ten resolutions to consider.
1. I’m going to take more naps.
There aren’t enough hours in the day to get all those naps in, but I should make an effort. For example, the time I spent playing with you could have been spent napping.
2. I swear I’ll use the litterbox.
I suppose I could use it since you went to the trouble of putting it out. Furthermore, you appear to like scooping it outlook at how carefully you handle, package, and seal it–must be worth its weight in gold. If that’s the case, I’ll make certain to leave you with more.
3. I’m going to let you sleep in.
I’ll let you sleep in as part of my “take more naps” plan. I’ll wait till 5 a.m. instead of waking you up at 4 a.m. I don’t want you to become slow.
4. I will get along with a dog
He may be large and nasty, but he has a purpose. When I shred the newspaper or knock over the lamp, who else can I blame?
5. I’ll treat the vet with respect.
Nobody likes going to the doctor, but I understand that he is simply trying to keep me healthy so that I can dominate the world. Next time, I’m not going to sink my teeth into her…as long as she doesn’t take my temperature…
6. I’m not going to scratch the furniture.
I’ll make an effort not to scratch your furnishings. Even if it’s just my way of telling you your interior design choices are terrible.
7. I’m going to cuddle more.
I know you love it when I sit and purr while interrupting whatever you’re doing because you’re bored (reading a book, typing on the internet, etc.). As a result, I’m going to do it more often.
8. I’m going to stop chasing mice.
I’ve heard they’re heavy in cholesterol, just like squirrels. In addition, I know you don’t appreciate it when I leave some in your shoe. Why should I waste my time with you when you’re so unappreciative?
9. My goal is to look amazing…
Oh… it appears that I have already completed that task.
10. I’m going to play with all the things my parents got me for Christmas.
I’ll play with the crumpled-up piece of paper or a paper clip for a day or two… then I’ll go back to playing with the crumpled-up piece of paper or a paper clip. Meh.
