Thursday Thirteen - Resolutions

13 New Year's Resolutions We're NOT Going to Make:
  1. To lose 10 pounds. (Heck, there'd be next to nothing left of us!)
  2. To exercise more. (We feel a nap coming on.)
  3. To read more classic literature. (We can't even keep up with our friends' blogs.)
  4. To get the paperwork organized. (We'd rather just knock the piles onto the floor.)
  5. To eat more fruits and vegetables. (C'mon! We're carnivores.)
  6. To stop smoking. (Um, we never started such a disgusting habit!)
  7. To get an annual physical. (We already do this against our will.)
  8. To vacuum the house at least once a week. (You'll never see us near that toy sucker-upper!)
  9. To clean out the shed. (Are you kidding? If it involves heavy lifting, we'll make ourselves scarce.)
  10. To stop procrastinating. (Maybe NEXT year.)
  11. To eat fewer sweets. (We don't even like sweets anyway. Give us a good tuna truffle!)
  12. To clean out our closet and take the excess clothes to Goodwill. (Unlike Skeezix, we have only one outfit each - our lovely fur coats.)
  13. To be better people. (We're CATS - we already are perfection!)

Great list! #13 is so true! :)

Exercise is fun, though! Chasing wand toys and mice is lots and lots of fun!

Good list of "anti-resolutions" ... Don't people know that cats don't need to improve on perfection? I mean, that's impossible, right? Perfect is perfect.

Hi Jake and Bathsheba,

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I enjoyed your resolutions but, really, I don't bother with them as it puts waaaay too much pressure on me and I don't want to stress myself.

J & B, I really like your approach... the resolution immediately accompanied by a valid reason to break it. Saves a lot of time going back and remembering your excuse.

Good job.

Great non-resolutions!

Oh, and Bathsheba, about all the eligible male cats being snapped up, I noticed on Rocky's blog that Maxwell at Crew's Views was complaining about Rocky stealing all the girl-cats! I think he's single! And maybe his brother George too!

Also, Ed the Rotund has a couple brothers, though I think Nitro might be a bit....ummm...frisky for your tastes!
