in with the new!
Hola kitties! It was the best of Christmases and it was the worst of
Christmases all combined. My Christmas pics of mostly fails as you'll see.
Balsam was a fail. I attended Catmas Eve but TW felt too crappy to let me DJ
altho we did raise a lot of green papers. BUT—and it's a big BUT—we were all
together. Oh, and there was ham. We're going to spotlight old fails from
Christmas 2021.
From the minute the peeps brought Balsam in to meet me, I started
sneezing. Instead of Fraser, they brought the wrong tree. I felt miserable
that night. They debated what to do. Should they donate it or toss it. Our
neighbor said they should wait a few days to see how I felt. Balsam sat
nekkid waiting.
I avoided it until a week later when it became obvious, it wasn't going
anywhere. Yeah, my peeps are lazy. Needles were dropping left and right
even though it was drinking. This was my first and one of my only trips by
the tree. With some time and pred, my allergies got much better but now I
got a drug problem (and laser eyes). KIDDING!
TW made some other mistakes but I don't consider this one of them. She
does. She opened the new tunnel first. Ever see a child in a playground?
As soon as the child goes down the slide, she runs right back to the
ladder to do it again. That's how I was with the tunnel. TW shot the
rocket, I raced through the tunnel to the rocket. Then I was back at the
entrance of the tunnel to do it again. Over and over.
TW must have been drunk with coquito when she took this one. Oh, she says
there was no flash cos she didn't want to blind me. If it's true, it's a
nice sentiment and I appreciate it. You know what else I appreciate? PICS
THAT ARE IN FOCUS!
I ignored everything else—even the Yeoww!!! crayons. We'd seen other
blogging cats going nutz over them. Not me. Ho hum. Back to the tunnel!
That said, we haven't gotten good shots of my Secret Paws' package but we
appreciate Spike William taking the time to pick out all those cool toys and
treats. Thank you; thank you. We'll show the loot next week.
Friendly Fill-ins
Now it's time for Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs—need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are boldface. This week my image relate to number one.1. I had hoped to help TW clean her closet in 2021 but didn't. I would have but she never kept her promise to throw out everything she never expects to wear again.
2. A goal I have for 2022 is renew my domain name and keep on keeping on.
3. I'll be as old as I am now when 2021 ends. Can't say I'll be happy since 2022 will prolly be even worse than 2021.
4. I hope 2022 brings less chemo and more life for TW. I also hope it brings the end of the crony virus.
Caturday Art
My art definitely isn't a fail even though it's been sitting on the floor of
my gallery unused since last January. I call this Neon NYE CK and it reflects
the lights and brightness of the season. NYE is all about glitz and lasers and
neon. If it was posted another time of year, it was be iridescent CK. I'm
washing in prep for my New Year's Eve date with ??. I ain't dishing.
Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase the latest art by anipal artists using the many different digital apps, Photoshop or original art.
For my furrends and readers, I leave you with these wishes for 2022. May your wifi signal be strong and your snacks plentiful. May your coffee never burn your tongue and may your house plants thrive. May your naps always be refreshing. May cats always choose your lap. Above all else may you be healthy, happy and unburdened by a-holes.
Paws crossed for a better 2022!
ReplyDeleteThose were good fill ins and the sentiments expressed for 2022 are likely those of many, including us...well not the chemo part...*she* finished that way back in 2007...phew!
ReplyDeleteWe pray for a better 2022 and may all your wishes be granted. Happy New Year!
Sorry, "J" will not turn into a lap cat, wishing won't make it so, and sorry again but there are just too many a-holes around so do not think we'll be able to avoid them. However, we do very much appreciate these wishes on your part as they are very good ones. (Did not mean to be depressing here, sigh) The happy and healthy part is doable, may it also be doable for YOU, TW, sincerely. That's the biggest, mostest important wish, needs to be granted. Paws up and hugs to all, even the one in the tunnel.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and here's to better health for TW. Love the colorful NYE art of you, CK.
ReplyDeleteI sure do hope you renew your domain and keep blogging! Wishing you a wonderful 2022. Here's to hoping it's a great year!

Hi CK! Happy New Year! Furrst, we enjoyed your fill-ins...our Mom can be quite ruthless when she cleans closets. Like last summer she spent 2 months looking for a shirt she donated...then when she mentioned it to our human brother, he reminded her and asked if she had Old Timers Disease (as if). Next, Queen Nellie visited with us last night (the Peep was sleeping) and she told ME -- Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, just do it -- LOVE the people who treat you right and forget everyone else -- If you get a chance, take it; If it changes your life-let it. And nobody said life would be easy, they just said it would be worth it. If in doubt, listen to CK. She KNOWS!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, Pops and TW! Here’s to another year full of joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories with an unforgettable friends!
Lovely art.
ReplyDeleteAll best wishes for the New Year!
CK, You seemed to have a marvelous Christmas with the odd oops, here and there. Mom seems to have many of these oops moments where strange things happen. It's like being in "The Twilight Zone". Scary music starts from behind me. I'm scaring myself cause my furs standing on end so I'll just say i give you hugs....yes, I have my mask on.
ReplyDeleteShoko and Tyebe

Dear Keisha, we had a fakey-type tree again this year because we are all horrifically allergic to pine. Hoomons and kittehs - we are a drippy sneezy coughy mess, the whole lot of us. Sadly our house is snuggled up to a green belt choke full of them pines that powder our house with yellow pollen. So no trees inside the house, no matter how lovely and festive. Wishing yoo and yoor family a Happy Mew Year! Love, Dori
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! May 2022 be a happy one!
