Critter Resolutions

A Crazy Cat Lady action figure! Except for the fact that my hair is still mostly dark, and I'm not skinny, and I have only two cats -- that could be me. And since I am getting an iPod Nano for Christmas (!!!), of course I want this totally frivolous and useless [useless since I plan to wear mine around my neck] item:

Yep, that's an iPod case. Clearly, one of my resolutions should be to be less covetous -- but, later for that. In the meantime, since they are disinclined to make their own New Year's resolutions, I have decided to make them for the critters who share my space. We begin with:

  Henry

• I will quit eating catshit
• I will try to be less cute, so that the other critters get equal attention
• I won't try to climb on Sharon's head

Lucy

• I will be less neurotic, so that I don't have to be so brave
• I will remember that I am not the boss of the cats
• I will keep playing tug-a-war, which I just discovered, with Henry

Boo

• I will risk coming downstairs when we have company
• I will stop playing with cat turds on the staircase
• I will spend more time on the lap, and less on the shoulder

Spike

• I will, for another year, not bite anyone
• I will be less of a bully
• I will be kinder to my teddy bear

Squirrel(s)

• I will share more with my siblings and cousins
• I will not chew the ottoman
• I will stop teasing the neighborhood dogs

Omg! Sharon I just realize soemthing. What happened to your birds? Hope you didn't lose them :(

No, the budgies are fine -- I just couldn't think of any resolutions for them. I'll try to get some new photos of them up soon.

We live in the city of Archie McPhee, and received a crazy cat lady action figure (with cats, of course!) from cat-owning friends last Christmas. She is truly scary.

I wish that Sasha and Sergei would share Boo's first resolution. Many people we know would think we had only one cat, because the boys hide under our bed whenever anyone comes over.
