Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were as spectacular as you. As you probably know by now, my specialties are rest and relaxation, and I did plenty of that over the holidays.

For the new year, I’m making a resolution to test all the beds and blankets in the Lounge. How fitting that I live in the Lounge given that I love to lounge all day! I also vow to increase my Vitamin D intake by stretching out in sunny spots by my favorite window and bird feeder.

My skin biopsy results came in and confirmed that I have allergies, so I will continue to take allergy medication. However, I’ve made clear that I don’t like having my front legs scrubbed with an antibiotic/fungal cleaner, so the lovely staff agreed to stop, especially since the allergy medication will help me be more comfortable.

That’s a relief! Not just because I didn’t enjoy the scrubbing, but it’s also embarrassing to explain to the lady cats about my shaved legs and regular massages.

I’ve started counting the birds that feed at our window feeder. I usually lose track after about 8 and nod off into a deep sleep. I’m also prone to counting my blessings, and you are by far one of my greatest blessings. I am so deeply thankful for everything you do for me.

I hope your new year is off to a great start! I look forward to sharing my 2025 adventures with you. 😊

Lots of love,
Taylor Ham
