Happy New Year

The Human had a little (emphasis on little) New Year's Eve gathering last night, as flu felled four of her expected nine guests. This was too bad, especially as it resulted in quite a sizable number of leftover crab cakes. Now, "leftover crab cakes" is very nearly an oxymoron around these parts, and she fixed up three for brunch this morning (in her defense, she'd made them smallish, appetizer- rather than entree-sized). 
And hey, why pour that last half-bottle of perfectly good champagne down the kitchen sink? So what if it was a little flat? It still tasted mighty good with those crab cakes. A couple of tiny rosemary scones rounded out a satisfying first meal of 2013!
You may be asking yourself, "And what did The Kitty get out of all this?" The answer, unfortunately, would be nothing, zero, zip, nada.  For once, however (and I realize this will be shocking), it was not the Human's fault, as she dutifully offered to share the crab cakes, etc. with Yours Truly, who after a perfunctory sniff or two, declined them.
But I digress! The purpose of my post today is to wish all our Friends, Feline and Human alike, the happiest of New Years

P.S. I have petitioned to extend the Post-A-Day agreement I have had with the Human throughout 2012, but thus far the response has been lukewarm. Like Congress, she is having a hard time with commitment.

Spitty, our Mom thinks your human was right on target with that brunch. You choice not to partake, right?

We hope to see every day posting from you in 2013. Sj=how her your backbone, Spitticakes! And, yeah, did you hear the one about Con and Pro being opposites - Progress vs Congress! We rest our case. Though we personally do not care, the humans are outraged.

Happy New Year to you and yours Spitty

The Island Cats said...

Spitty, we think you should at least had a little taste of those crab cakes. The flat champagne...not so much.

Happy New Year! And we vote for continuing the daily posting!!

Pat Hatt said...

That is just rude, having nothing for you out of the deal. What is another year with a post a day.

Waste not, want not. Besides it made a great meal for the beginning of 2013. Happy New year.

Yup, you got a smart mummy, Mister Spitty!

Mariodacat said...

he he crab cakes - I've never had them. I think I'll beg M to make some. Crabs live in the sea and are like tuna maybe. Tuna is good stuff. Hey buddy = you and I need to run for Congress -we could make decisions faster than they do!!

Cathy Keisha said...

Yeah, I couldn't get innerested in those stuffed clams the humans had for Christmas Eve either. BTW, why does your human have white and silver telephone cords in a vase on the table??

Max said...

Aw, man, at least I got some real live fresh dead shrimp...

Katnip Lounge said...

Crab cakes and flat booze...Mommy is on her way! Actually, that's fine dining for her...do you hear banjos?

Hey Spitty! Happy New Year from all your pals at the Lounge, can you see Sallem wavin' her JLLs just pour vous?

Cory said...

What's up with humans not sharing their crab cakes. Mom and dad had them on Christmas Eve and we got not one scrap. Although we were offered turkey as a consolation prize.

Happy New Year Spitty! Jonesie is hoping for a ride in your fancy car in 2013!

Dearest Spitty,
Who cares about crab cakes, me would like to stop by for a little snuggle, later tonight. And have a belated New Years celebration. I'll bring the catnip!
Kisses
Nellie

Angel Prancer Pie said...

Who cares about crab cakes when there is a purrfectly good centerpiece just waitin to be whapped!

Catio Tales said...

Wethinks that tis a suitable snub to her for inviting people round for a party. And what' with the table decoration ? Surely a little prod of that was needed ?
As for commitment issues, well, wethinks we shall just have to see about that. Especially after your human's voluminous gushing on my blogpost - for which we are are most grateful. A bit of ego boosting in the morning is just what is needed. but just remember to keep your paws in Kiimamaa and out of the rest of my fine country. Your esteemed buddy, King Kitty Cat of Finland (North)

Summer at sparklecat.com said...

Hm. If you shunned the crab cakes, Spitty, could they really have been any good? Any time we kitties shun human food containing meat, my human wonders if there is something wrong with it.

Happy New Year to you, Spitty! I am looking forward to reading your blog EVERY day!

The Furries of Whisppy said...

Well Spitty. Did it dawn on you to get the Human to put aside one or even two of those crab cakes for ME? *rolls eyes*

An offended TUTU

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

We don't blame you, Spitty, crab's have big nasty claws, I cant imagine them tasting all that good! MOL

From all of us, to you and your human, we hope you have a wonderful new year!!

Mollie said...

Well...we are like you, looked at our blogging calendar thus far for 2013 and we are going to be posting considerably LESS.....(we hope!!)

Ivan from WMD said...

Crab cakes? I don't think I'd eat anything that moved sideways.

Sitster, dood. We have our doubts about crab cakes too. We don't blame you a bit for declining to partake!

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

Your mom isn't signing on the dotted line for a post-a-day for 2013? And after you let her eat ALL the crabcakes? MOUSES!

Just Ducky said...

Mum likes your mum's attitude. So what if they are leftovers, enjoy.

We are bugging our mum to make sure we post more often. The downward trend is not acceptable.

GLOGIRLY said...

Glogirly thinks champagne for breakfast is a fine idea.
I think you should hold your mom to the post a day thing. I mean, what else is she gonna do with her time???

Crabs are too much like spiders for our taste! So we are with you, Sir Spitfire. Happy New Years to you and your (longsuffering) human....PT

Shaggy and Scout said...

At least SHE started the year deliciously!

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

What a way to start the New Year!

Mr. Black said...

Spitty, you were wise to turn down the crab cakes. I, like you, will refuse even the most luxurious of food items if it does not carry the familiar smell of Fancy Feast.

Photo Cache said...

We dont like human fud either except for canned tuna. We go crazy for that.

Pawhugs,
Emma and Buster

Happy New Year. Crab cakes and champagne sound pretty good.
