Feral New Year!

Hola kitties! Happy New Year! Sunday is the start of a brand new year. My "brand new starts" are usually same old, same old. I thought I'd be reviewing my Secret Paws today and not talking about an unwanted visit to the stabby place. The peeps said that was the last place they thought they'd be spending their Wednesday, how do they think *I* felt? 

Yeah, I'd been sneezing and sniffling for a couple of days but I didn't expect to be punished for it. No photos were taken and instead of rehashing old pics at the stabby place, I'm just gonna go with New Year's images.

There's a new stabby place that's over a few towns from us where Dr. H. now works. Most stabby places around here aren't accepting new patients but they just opened December 21. TW called in the morning and by 2 pm, they were stuffing me in the PTU. I was so shocked, I didn't resist. It was a different story at the stabby place. 

I hissed, screamed and growled when they tried to remove me from the PTU. I fought for my life. Sure Dr. H. tried sweet talking me but I'm not an easy victim. After looking into my eyes, ears, mouth; feeling me all over and violating my anus, she found everything was normal.

Then the real fun began. They took me in the back to steal my bloods and claws. The peeps heard me yell and then they heard the vampires yell "you get back here!" Yeah, I had made a break for it. I was so tired but I found super strength. My freedom, however, was short lived and Pop was presented with a huge bill.

The diagnosis was a viral infection which they have no medication for. TW wasted all Pop's money plus the cost of the Lyft rides each way for nothing. I did lose a bunch of weight and came home with a tube of Miritaz. I'm still at stage 2 kidney disease which made the peeps and Dr. H. happy.

Have to be clean for the new year. Slurp!

The up side was all the compliments that rained down on this little ghetto kitteh. No one believed I was 17 years old. They all came in to admire my stunningness and youthfulness. The receptionists were both looking at my blog and social media when I came back into the waiting area. Even the women with the 27-lb cat in the waiting area were taken in by me. 

The consensus was whatever the peeps are doing, to keep doing it. If'n I post next year, I'll talk about my secrets of eternal youth.

I am a celebri-cat and that's no way to treat a celebri-cat.

Friendly fill-ins

Let's answer some 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 relates to number one.

1. Stunning is my focus word for 2023.

2. 2022 was OK, I guess. TW said it was disappointing cos her Yankees lost again.

3. Pop is more fun to bite than TW is the most important lesson I learned over the past year.

4. I hope 2023 is the year that TW doesn't have to go to that mean vet place she always goes to. It's a wonder she has any bloods left after they steal it every time she goes. No wonder she's always tired.

Caturday art

Since this is year-end, I decided to go all out creative on you!

I created this fantabulishous AI painting from scratch just for you. It's not taken from a photo. It might not even be me but it's colorful and festive.

Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase how talented us anipal artists are. We can use the many different digital apps, Photoshop or share original art.

Every year I make a resolution NOT to make resolutions but I do have some advice for my readers: This year instead of making a resolution to change yourself, make a resolution to be yourself. I don't know where I'm going from here but I promise it won't be boring. Hope your year is better than those that passed before, but not as good as those that are yet to come. Thank you for reading and being furrends.
