This list is inspired from Karlie Flood who was inspired by Emily Mais and since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, here is my list of 23 things I learned in 2023, and because it is important to always strive for self-improvement, one thing I hope to learn in 2024.
- Licking the toilet paper roll really doesn’t help when I am nauseated.
- Sharing IS caring.
- There are a lot of really good toys at the bottom of the toy basket.
- Purring is not only self-soothing, but it also helps soothe your human too.
- There is no need to gulp down the canned food – no one is going to take it away from you.
- If Taylor Swift’s cat can make it onto the cover of Time Magazine, there is no reason that I can’t.
- Pet strollers are a great way to safely see the world.
- Don’t use the litterbox with wet paws.
- When travelling by air, make sure your human asks for private TSA screening. It’s life changing.
- Licking the lampshade doesn’t really help when I am nauseated.
- Be still and just be.
- I don’t like Swiss cheese.
- No matter what color you are, how much you weigh, or how old you are, you are perfect.
- A little catnip now and then can give you a whole new perspective.
- If you sit quietly and wait, your human will probably share the last of the milk in the cereal bowl, but if you keep head-butting them, they probably won’t.
- Whether you are 14 months old or 14 years old, your human still considers you to be a “kitten”.
- There is no perfect spot in the litterbox, but it doesn’t hurt to look for one.
- A.I. will never replace C.A.T.
- People who say that they are “dog people” aren’t really bad – they just don’t have a lot of experience with cats. Otherwise, they would be “cat people”.
- Miralax really works!
- There’s almost nothing that a brief nap can’t solve.
- There’s almost nothing that a little gravy can’t solve either!
- Home is not a place – it’s a person.
And the one thing I would like to learn in 2024? Knitting!
Happy New Year!
