Newton: Can we talk?
Newton: You may not realize it, but we’ve been blogging really steadily for the past few years. The last time we took a single day off was over a year ago. We love coming to your mailbox or blog reader every day, and we are always excited to have you visit, too! But here’s the thing: We’re cats, and we need a lot of sleep, and all of this work isn’t letting us get it. Humans are unruly and generally exhausting, and this supervising to make sure that the head peep gets work done is even more exhausting. Have you ever watched other people work? It wears you right out.
Pierre: What do you want to do about it, Newt?
Newton: We’re going to take weekends off of blogging.
Pierre. What?!
Newton: Don’t worry. we aren’t going anywhere. We have exciting plans for things we want to share with you in the weeks and months ahead. You will still be able to read our Topical Thursdays every week, and see what Pierre, Ashton, and I are up to. But mostly me, because I know you really come here to see me.
Pierre: *sighs* It isn’t all about you, Newton.
Newton: That’s what you think! It’s always all about me!
Pierre: If we aren’t blogging, what are we going to be doing on the weekends now?
Newton: I’m sure you’ll think of something.
Pierre: I’ll think about it while I take this nap.
Newton: I think he’s going to do a lot more of that once he figures it out. Have a good weekend, everykitty. We’ll see you on Monday!
Emma and Buster says
LOL! We rarely blog on weekends too, there’s so much napping to do π
Whisppy says
Mommy hasn’t found the time to help us blog all week. First it was getting her car all fixed up then now she’s “busy” getting the cat room ready to be painted (after a delay of almost 2 years or was it 3 years?). Excuses excuses!
Enjoy your weekends off, kitties!
Sparkle says
I wish I could take weekends off! But I love the weekend memes I’ve created, so I’m sort of stuck!
Fuzzy Tales says
When we first were around the CB, we blogged every day, but that didn’t last long. When there’s only one human in the household to do everything and she works full time, there’s just not enough time to keep it up. So we surely do understand. We hope your head human’s weekends are productive…We’ll bet they won’t be relaxing. LOL.
The Island Cats says
We only blog on Sunday since that’s Ernie’s special day. But we take a couple of days off during the week, too. Hey, a cat’s gotta rest up, right? And we hope you guys get lots of rest.
Random Felines says
sounds like a plan – we rarely blog on the weekends either unless something comes up
Ingrid King says
It can be challenging blogging seven days a week. I’m glad you’re giving the head peep a break with this new schedule!
Melissa & Truffles says
It’s tough blogging everyday so I don’t blame you…we’ll be waiting to visit with you again come Monday π (We only blog on the weekends because we participate in memes that don’t require a ton of work.)
Hannah and Lucy says
We are looking forward to visiting your “New Look” on Monday.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
The Swiss Cats says
We try to blog twice, maybe three times a week, but it would be hard for us to do more. We understand very well your need ! Enjoy your week-end ! Purrs
Brian Frum says
I am sure y’all will be rockin’ that new schedule! Have a happy weekend!!!
Ellen Pilch says
Enjoy your time off- you deserve it.

Angel AbbyGrace says
Wanna know Momma’s secret? She prepares her posts in advance. MOL She has to or else no telling when she’s get a post up. She has so many photos of us that if she didn’t blog she’d be in big trouble.
Maxwell, Faraday & Allie says
Doods we TOTALLY unnerstand. We should have insisted our mom do that this summer, she’s been way too busy at work for us. *sigh* And blogging vs wand toy play? For realz, NO competition!!
Annie says
That’s understandable. We’re kind of reversed. It’s much easier for us to blog on the weekend than weekdays due to my work. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy your weekend!
Cute pics!
William says
We totally understand, kids!
Fraidy Cats! says
we understand! it’s impawtant to have those 26 hours a day of sleep π enjoy your weekend!

Kitty Cat Chronicles says
We completely understand! It is hard keeping up with blogging every day. We don’t post every day (usually just 3ish times a week), but we try to keep up with our visiting and commenting every day. It is a lot. Taking weekends off sounds like it will do you all some good. Enjoy your time off!
Katnip Lounge says
well, crappity! We can only COMMENT on the weekends! Your peeps and OUR peeps obviously are skewed…we’ll be visiting and try to comment on Mondays!
Savannah's Paw Tracks says
we gave up weekends a year ago…our numbers dropped but our time with our humans increased. Great idea!! We cats are all that truly matters
Marty the Manx says
Glad you guys are taking time off. Our Mom doesn’t understand how anyone can blog 7 days a week. Hope you enjoys your week-ends of relaxing and just hanging out!
Marty and Mom
Deb Barnes - Zee and Zoey says
We think a break now and then is a wonderful idea! Enjoy your weekend all and we loved the pictures in your post!
Cathy Keisha says
Waaaaaahhh! What am I going to do without Newton all weekend. sulk. Thatβs what Iβll do.
Spitty the Kitty says
Good for you kitties, says the Human. My Human set a goal on Jan 1 of 2012 to blog every day of that year and not miss a single one, and that’s what we did. But when 2013 rolled around, she started taking LOTS of days off. And thought that was just fine. *I* certainly did not give my purrmission for that, let me tell you. AND, what’s worse, she has gotten SO lazy and stubborn about helping me visit my friends! Honestly, she’s just such a disappointment to me. You gotta keep an eye on these Humans every minute, EVERY MINUTE I tell you!
Angel Keisha says
Please grt lots of rest and noms so u can blog more later on. Thank u. π
Luv,
Angel Keisha
Fur Everywhere says
It’s good to have days off, Newton. We usually take at least one day a week off so we can sleep, too! Here’s to happy weekend napping π
Mark's Mews says
Sounds like a Plan ta US!
Hilary says
good for you guys! We all need a break (I am first replying to wednesday’s comments today).
Sushi says
I have been off the blog because Mom’s busy or not feeling well. Then when she has the time, I hurt my paw. Meow! That’s just one lousy timing.
