Happy New Year to all our Catster friends! 2011 was quite a year for our family with the big move to Arizona. We have all adjusted to our new home, and we're loving being wild west cats!

2011 was also a year that many friends journeyed to the bridge, and we will forever keep these angels in our thoughts. They have started their 10th life at the bridge being greeted by Calvin, his welcome sign, and all their new angel friends.

Of course, I had another pawsome year of Dreamboats, Dreamboats-in-Training, and Angel Dreamboats. I've already started checking out the boys for this year's list, and I'll give you a hint that the handsome mancats I'm considering will not disappoint you girlcats!

Say - weren't you as disappointed as I was that Catster didn't hold the annual World's Coolest Contest in 2011?

Say - did you also notice that we didn't receive a holiday rosette from Top Cat? What's up with that?

All I'll Say is I hope 2012 is better in terms of the contest resuming, some newly designed rosettes, and Say, how about some chances at earning free zealies as in the past?

As Top Cat told us, the Community is as important as it has always been. Let's hope they continue to show us in 2012 with some creativity and new ideas for the Community!

And as far as the Diary Gal goes, I promise to write in my diary more this year if you will promise to award me accordingly with a few diary picks! After all, as you all will remember (because I like to remind you), I used to be at the top of the Pawpular Diary List! Oh, how I miss that list!

We're all looking forward to a pawsome 2012 with our Catster friends. It makes us sad that some cats aren't as active as they used to be, but we're thankful for the new friends who have joined in the fun. You all bring joy and laughter to our lives, and we are grateful!

Let's all have a happy, fun, and healthy 2012 . . . . . . . .

Happy New Year to you and your pawsome family, Samoa. It's good to see you here.

Holiday Rosette from top cat? Do you mean like he gave us one personally the last few years? We did get the free mistletoe to spread around.

Say, Say, MOL.

Oh Samoa, as you should know, we didn't come around till Christmas of last year. So unfortunately every thing you mention we had missed. I do hope they will bring some of that stuff back.

Mom is really upset they didn't have the photo contest, seeing that she thanks we have some winners.

Happy New Year from all of us! We so hope to see all our friends stay in tip top shape and their parents prosper this coming up year.

Yes we did miss that purrsonal rosette from 'Topcat'!
And the contest, that would have been so much fun...SAY why don't you listen to these thoughts and say that you will reinstate them?
By the way, Say, is there still a 'Topcat'??
Looking forward to your newest Dreamboat picks!
Purrs!

Timo - yes, I was so happy to see those mistletoe rosettes, but I sure wish they had lasted a couple of days longer. We didn't have enough time to get one to all our friends. I think Top Cat usually gives us a holiday rosette of some kind, but I didn't see any this year.

Perhaps you should have a rabbit join your family. Bunspace has all sorts of cool contests and rosettes.

Ooooo, all these cool things you talk about we did not know! 2011 was my family's first year on Catster! These sound like great fun. Hope they gets done in 2012!!!

I agree - we miss some kitties we haven't seen in a while. We also have seen some new friends! Seems harder to get on quite as often as before. Poor Maizy was DDP and missed it both times! Apparently Mom says she has to do this thing called W-O-R-K. I dunno what it is, but I want no part of it. I only want food - and naps, and food, and mousies - oh and food.
Hoping that 2012 is a good year for us all.
