Greetings furry and non-furry friends. We at Cheeseland have discovered that humans do something called “making New Year’s resolutions” this time of year. We weren’t sure what that meant since most of us track time by food or sun. When we looked it up, it said that humans make promises to themselves to improve something about themselves. It also said that most of these promises were broken in a short period of time.
So that explained the shortage of pizza everyone once in a while. And the strange furniture that appeared with the Christmas tree and then went downstairs. It would make funny noises for a little bit and then make a great bed.
We weren’t sure that animals needed to make resolutions. After all, most of us are pretty close to perfect the way we are. So we send our renowned cat-on-the-street team to interview various animals to see what they could find out.
As expected, most of the animals had no idea what we were talking about. However, a few decided to think about things that would make the humans happier. Names have been changed to prevent ridicule from friends and family.
Cliff (cat) – I resolve to not to put anymore mice into the human’s shoes. Unless she starts wearing those tail-crunching high heels again. Or irritates me.
Beverly (hedgehog) – I resolve to not prick my human anymore. Unless she puts her cold hands on my tummy. Or puts a costume on me.
Josephine (llama) – I resolve not to spit at people. Unless they get too close. Or do annoying human things, like try to pet me when I’m relaxing.
Ralph (bear) – I resolve not to try to scare campers. Unless they have really yummy food. Or try to catch my salmon. Or try to camp near my berries.
Mollie (raccoon) – I resolve not to break into people’s houses. Unless it’s really cold. Or they leave food near an open window or door.
Max (dog) – I resolve not to chew up the pillows. Unless the humans won’t let me sit on the sofa. Or I get bored.
Those resolutions all sound reasonable to us. And it will be the humans’ fault if they fail.
Perfect.

I resolve not to make any more resolutions that don’t get heeded so this year I have none. 🙂
I came to the same conclusion a few years ago.

Happy New Year, one and all!

Thoroughly enjoyed these resolutions. Loved Beverly, the hedgehog in Santa Claus dress and seeing Mollie I remembered a great book that Rachel read to me once. “The Rejected Writers’ Book Club by Suzanne Kelman. There are cats and raccoons in that book. Happy New Year 2018 from Fozzie at https://catsareontop.com

Oh fun! I’m reading this post & smiling ’cause it reminds me of the treadmill Mom got last week as part of her New Year’s resolution. And of course I found it a nice place to lounge just like the kitty you show! Not sure why humans make resolutions they’re not likely to stick with. I hope Cliff hasn’t been stepped on my one of his mommas high heels. OUCH! Happy Mew Year everypawdy at Adventures in Cheeseland!
Happy Mew Year! Treadmills are the best resolution because they make such good beds.
