Happy New Year

Ashton: We aren’t wild party cats around here. Well, maybe Newton. I’m not a wild party cat. So I wasn’t wearing a lampshade or anything to celebrate new year’s last night.

(Let’s face it. When cats have to wear lampshades, it’s usually bad news, so that’s really a thing we let the peeps wear.)

But I did want to pause and wish our friends around the blogosphere a happy new year! We hope it’s a year you can have great adventures and make happy memories.

Oh… and one other thing. Did you see who was the January 1 calendar boy on the Cats of the Cat Blogosphere calendar? It’s Mr. Jinx from Manx Mnews. Happy new year to me!

Cats of the CB Calendar Mr Jinx

I’m going to save that page of the calendar under the cushion of my cat bed so I can bring it out and gaze at it when nobody is looking. Big winks to my Mr. Jinx!

    Happy New Year, Ashton! No lampshades here either, not that Tessa and Miss Newton didn’t try as evident of lampshades knocked askew this morning. Our mom tucked away our Cat Blogosphere calendar and then, of course, forgot all about it! Thanks for the reminder, and who’s mister January 1st! Purrs…

    Wishing you a very happy new year!! Lampshades would look pretty silly on kitties, but then, they look funny on hoomins, too. Mol.
