Happy Year of the Rabbit!

 

Yesterday, I, Marvelous got out my ephemeris and I calculated all the Chinese Horoscopes for 2023 (The year of the Rabbit). If you are interested, the Chinese horoscopes are on their own page on the website.

Now for the Selfie! 

This week Cinnamon stepped up, but part way though she wanted to play with her new ball.

Sheesh! 

Are you guys celebrating? We are! We get Chinese Food tonight. Mom makes the best (she used to work in a Chinese Restaurant) and she makes a special Chicken Chow Meow and Chicken Chow Bow Wow (no sauce, no stir fry) just for us. We can't wait! 

Did you do anything special for the Lunar New Year?

Now, we are pawrticipating in Selfie Sunday over at The Cat On My Head! They have been running Selfie Sunday for a long, long time! We LOVE the Kitties Blue and we can't wait to see them! Click on their button to head to Selfie Central! 

Lunar New Years Eve and the Friendly Fill-ins by Mom!

Friendly fill - ins with Mom!

This week we are getting Mom to do the friendly fill-ins.

1. BIRTHDAYS make me feel old.

2. Dancing to the oldies while cleaning the house makes me feel young.

 

3. Recently, being a computer Geek came in very handy. 

4. I think that the new snow plow guy in the village is the most useless one we have ever had.

Thank goodness that since Christmas we have had more seasonable weather.  I was getting tired of having to shovel half the road to get the car out of the driveway.   But I gotta say, snow shovelling is a terrific cardio exercise!

 The Friendly Fill-ins are written by 15 and Meowing (the first 2) and the second two are written by Four-Legged Fur Balls! We hope you enjoyed learning about our Mom as much as we love learning about you dear furrends.

         

AND

 Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve!

When Mom and me lived in Vancouver it was a really big event. Richmond (a city that makes up part of Vancouver) is more than 80% Asian and South Asian. Seeing all the celebrations, Lion and Dragon Dancers, the parades and the wonderful cuisine was a unique experience. Mom misses it. Many of the people she worked with participated in the events and several of them were Lion and Dragon Dancers. Below is a video of the Lion Dancers getting ready for the excitement. 

One of the exciting things about this New Year is that last year was full of the fierceness of the TIGER! Our Peeps were all freed from the pandemic cages. And lots of things happened all over the world. This new lunar year we will be tamer -- it is the year of the rabbit (and in some countries the cat).
Rabbits, in the Chinese Zodiac are known for their sense of calm and peacefulness. That means this year will be profoundly different as tigers and rabbits represent opposite energies. The Tiger embodies Yang energy and the Rabbit, Yin.
 

Yang energy is associated with fast-paced movement and action—which explains why the Year of the Tiger was “unpredictable, and sometimes even aggressive and chaotic,”

 Yin energy is more laid back, which means we can expect the Year of the Rabbit to be well-suited for reflection, rest, and renewal. That does not mean it will be boring though. It means we have a chance to step back, think about and realize our goals. 

RABBITS are the luckiest of the 12 zodiac animals and Rabbit years are supposed to bring Hope and Prosperity. 

 

All us cats are really looking forward to Mom making Chinese Food tomorrow!
