Yeah, why make life difficult by making new year resolutions that you will never keep. Let alone achieve. The following are words of wisdom that a feline like me adheres to. A word of caution, I don't think it will work as well for humans.
Wisdom #1:
Stroll placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in a long tranquil nap. As far as possible, without being in any way humble, be on good terms with all creatures - with the obvious exception of dogs.
Wisdom #2:
Meow your desires loudly and clearly and occasionally listen to others, even your human, for she may be calling you for dinner. Avoid the company of fleas, they are vexations to both spirit and body.
Wisdom #3:
Enjoy your achievements - particularly wallpaper lovingly scratched and pieces of string thoroughly chased. Keep interest in your career, there will always be a need for good mousers in the changing fortunes of time.
Wisdom #4:
Be yourself; especially do not feign affection - except when you need a warm lap to sleep on. Neither be cynical about the love of cream, for through your charmed and enchanted existence it is as perennial as the grass it comes from.Take kindly the counsel of the years and rejoice in the fact that you have nine lives.
Wisdom #5:
Nurture arrogance of spirit to shield you from sudden misfortune such as getting stuck up a tree. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born out of getting less than 20 hours sleep in a day. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself and groom yourself frequently.
Wisdom #6:
You are a cat of the universe, so much greater than humans and dogs; you have a right to be served. And even though you may sleep through most of it, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. With all its snacks, adventures and peaceful dreams, it is truly a beautiful world. Be content. Continue to be happy.
I am, a contented cat. purrr....meow!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!!

Hello Cat, Happy new year. Wishing you the very best of 2010.
My brain hearing gongs like a Thai Monastery.
Some friends here got funny idea welcome the new year and I learned Jack Daniels don't get along well with half frozen durians at midnight! Lee.
O Wise Master,
Lovely to hear from you again. Am singing for you:
Shower mw with your love.... purrr....meow!
Uncle Lee,
Are you having a terrible hangover? Oooh...poor you. Come, let me give you a head massage. purrr....meow!
Wow, you are ONE SMART KITTY! I am going to follow your wise counsel from now on. I'm not sure how my colleagues will deal with my loud meowing of my desires, though. "MEOW! That means I want my stapler back, NOW!" "MEOW! I just want to be left alone during lunch hour!"
Much love and Happy New Year to you and all at home!
CO78,
Mama's been practising the "meow" philosophy at work. People could guess her "mood" by the tone of her "meowing". Oh, she purrs too sometimes. purrr....meow!

Aunty Paula,
You said: ..Don't bully Brad too much ok?
Hmmm...I think it's the other way around. He likes to provoke me. purrr...meow!
