A Cats New Year Resolution

By Miss Mattie!

Every year the humans have these resolutions right after the New Year. Not sure why they wait for the same day every year.

They could have put those cookies down last week. Oh well…the silly things humans do.

Well, it is now our turn to “resolve” some issues we have.

So here are my New Years Resolutions…for you.

If I am sleeping and my belly is exposed, don’t touch it. Don’t. Just walk away….
Even if my belly is not exposed, if I am sleeping, walk away. Yes, this is why we wake you at 2am. Cause you kept waking us all day long. See, karma does turn the wheel. Let’s stop it in the New Year.
When you open a can of tuna, salmon or any other form of smelly food, you need to open “another” can for us. One for you, one for us. This goes the same for chicken, steak and pork chops.
Clean your windows. Seriously, if I can’t go outside, then don’t make me look over my nose prints from last year.
Put the camera I know I am cute, but really?

Still waiting for you to put the camera down

Go meditate more. If you are meditating, I can get some sleep.
When I do you a favor and protect the house from the occasional basement mouse or a big bug, I expect you to say “thank You” when I put it in front of you. It is weird to watch you run around, screaming like a toddler. I also don’t appreciate it when you get rid of my gift or send it on its way. Not nice. I worked very hard in catching it, I accept some appreciation.
Be more Zen. When you are Zen, I get to go find my Zen. Besides, it’s it the purpose of all of my writing? (more on that later) It is a win/win.
Be more mindful. Especially, of where you are walking or sitting. I have been walked on this year by Mr. Bailey, I would hate if that happened from you too.
Go find a few new friends. I am a cat, not your girlfriend or your selfie buddy. I don’t want to talk for hours.
Bring me more boxes. I need more boxes. I must continue my cat box destruction. I will take an occasional brown bag too.
Purr more, speak less. This is obvious, right.
Find more people or cats to write on your blog. If I am not getting paid for this, I should have a say in how much I write each week. Isn’t this against the cat labor laws?
Lastly, I want us cats to have a happy new year. With no party hats on our head or no weird people waving our paws for us. I will, however take a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek.

This is NOT ok for the new year.

Happy New Year, from the cats at Cat box Zen.
