Happy New Year!

Cornelius and everyone at Cat Diaries would just like to wish all our readers a very happy and prosperous new year. Here’s hoping that 2010 is everything you want it to be.

Of course, at this time of year, it’s traditional to make resolutions for the year ahead. You know the sort of thing: lose weight, quit smoking, tell all your friends about Cat Diaries so that they can enter the competitions and read the many interesting articles planned for this year! That sort of thing…

But what about New Year’s Resolutions for cat? Well, we found this online and thought you might enjoy it. Feel free to let us know your own cat-related resolutions and don’t forget to come back next week for brand-new content.

New Year’s Resolutions for cats

1.    I will not puff my entire body to twice its size for no reason after my human has finished watching a horror movie.
2.    I will not use the bathtub to store live mice for late-night snacks.
3.    I will not perch on my human’s chest in the middle of the night and stare into her eyes until she wakes up.
4.    I cannot leap through closed windows to catch birds outside. If I forget this and bonk my head on the window and fall behind the couch in my attempt, I will not get up and do the same thing again.
5.    I will not back up off the front porch and fall into the bushes just as my human is explaining to his girlfriend how graceful I am.
6.    When it rains, it will be raining on all sides of the house. It is not necessary to check every door.
7.    I will not play ‘dead cat on the stairs’ while people are trying to bring in groceries or laundry.
8.    When the humans play darts, I will not leap into the air and attempt to catch them.
9.    I will not swat my human’s head repeatedly when she’s on the floor trying to do sit ups.
10.    I will not speed dial the overseas numbers.
11.    If I must give a present to my human’s overnight guests, my toy mouse is much more socially acceptable than a big live cockroach, even if it isn’t as tasty.
12.    A warm pepperoni pizza is not a good place for a nap.
