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? 

Feral New Year!

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.

Feral New Year!
Admiring the imposter tree from atop one of my gifts.

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.

Feral New Year!
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.

Feral New Year!

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!

Feral New Year!

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.

Feral New Year!

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.

  7. I'm sorry that you had to go to the stabby place. At least they know a celebrity when they violate one. Here's hoping that the stabby place visits are few and far between for everyone in the townhouse. Sending healing thoughts and good wishes for a happy new year!

  8. June here, mine Mommy doesn't know what to write or what to say today, she kind of thinks this day isn't a whole lot different from most other days, but I told her we should say Happy New and Mew Year just the same, so I just did. I wish only good things come to you in this "new" year if that is possible, I'd like to think it is, dream the impossible dream I've heard. So I will, for you. And that's it for today, except pawing off with a lot of love, June (and mine Mommy too). PS: cool art, AI is cool, whoever the cat is.

  16. CK! That was a horrible experience! I feel so bad but then so happy that the very expensive vet (and the office stuaff) LOVED you! You are so furry lovable. And that you are in such terrific shape (even if you feel not so hot). I LOVE your AI art too! It is totally awesome. And CK and TW and Pops - embrace the new year with an open heart and a fierce spirit. May the new year bring you nothing but the best in love, joy and happiness! We send you warm wishes for 2o23!

  19. CK!! What a start to the New Year! OMC! Well, it wasn't New Years Eve but geeze!!! I find it hard to believe you are 17 as well. Hoping you feel better soon!!!! We don't believe in "resolutions" around here either. I like your idea of "just be yourself" and I also like using the word "intentions"......not as cut and dry as "resolutions". Wishing you, TW and Pops a blessed New Year!!! I am praying it is uneventful (IN A GOOD WAY!!)......may 2023 be extra kind to all of you! xoxo

  20. I'm sorry you had to go through that at the stabby place. But OF COURSE they admired your stunningness. They'd be blind if they didn't. And that is wonderful advice for 2023!
