This is the FINAL Sunday Post of 2025! It’s almost time to say goodbye to this year – and I’m more than ready. But ready or not, 2026 is ON ITS WAY! I hope that each and every one of you has a fantastic New Year’s celebration of the kind you most prefer and can look forward to a HAPPY 2026!

Today’s picture is of Hecate turning her back on the whole thing. Technically, it’s Hecate turning her back on the new cat bed we got specifically FOR HER in the hopes that I wouldn’t have to wrestle my coat out from under her fuzzy butt every time I want to go out. Yes, I know I could hang the coat up, and yes, I know I’m bigger than she is and I can just move her, BUT she’s so cute nestling sleeping in my coat that I hate to make her move. Howsomever, this picture clearly demonstrates her thoughts about the whole mommy’s coat vs. new cat bed situation. Her Majesty is not amused and does not approve.
She probably won’t approve of Wednesday night’s fireworks, either, and neither will the rest of the clowder. Which doesn’t stop her humans from again wishing you HAPPY NEW YEAR!

She eventually gave in, it just took a while. There was something vibrating in my office earlier today and it turned out to be Miss Hecate, in her new catbed, purring up a STORM!

Tee Hee, Hecate is so cute. My son’s dog pulls the afghan off my couch to lay on, even though he has a dog bed, so I understand. Happy New Year to you and yours.
They do that, don’t they. She pulled a cat bed off a table to put it where SHE wanted it. She just has lots of tortitude!
