The Last Dawn
Spunk: “Whatcha cookin’, Paparazzo? It smells like fine cooking.”
Paparazzo: “Black-eyed peas, for the New Year, of course! We cook them every year. Remember?”
Spunk: “If it doesn’t have catnip, mice, or squeezy treats, I flush it from my kitty memory banks!”
Marble: “Nope! I’m not looking at the camera, pesky paparazzo. Why don’t you photograph that spider on the ceiling instead of pestering me?”
Jake patiently waiting for more scraps of fine cooking
Spunk: “Hmmm! I think that spider on the ceiling would go well in the black-eye pees!”
Paparazzo: “They are Black-eyed peas, as in legumes.
Spunk: “As I was saying, Jake lifts his legume and pees on the beans, giving them black-eyes!”
Paparazzo” “You are beyond hope, Spunk!”
Glenda: “Is this pose adorable enough for you, pathetic Paparazzo with the cat habit?”
The last moon
Silver: “It’s a little sad to leave 2025 behind!”
The last dusk was feeling blue
Off Center & Not Even 
Tim, wishing you and yours the very best in 2026. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Bruce.
Dang! I forgot to cook black-eyed peas for NYE. Is it still good to do them on New Year’s Day?
A very Happy New Year to you, your ladies and all the dog, cats, birds, snakes and whatever other critters live with you!
Absolutely. We eat them on NYD. We were doing all the prep on NYE because we put a lot of stuff in them. We will finish putting everything together this morning. Thanks, Dale.
Excellent! I realised I had no more dried ones but I do have a can so…. Guess I will be making something with it tonight!
Canned will do!
I didn’t doubt it. But I had none in the end. 😔
And the stores were closed today.
I ate some for you. Your good for 2026!
Thanks for that!!
Spunk sends good luck kitty vibes, also.
He’s the best!
Oh! I almost forgot. Jake lifted his leg multiple times to toast the new year. The Spanish say, “Ching! Ching!” for a toast. Jake says, “Wee! Wee!” Although he likes to think it’s the same as “Oui! Oui!”
Hahahaha!!!
Dear Spunk – creative descriptions as ever! Wishing you all the very best for 2026 – surely it can only get batter?
Happy New Year, Couriers! Wishing you a great 2026. Spunk will continue to keep us entertained.
Wishing you, Laurie and Tristan all the best for 2026! You had a good start, cooking with Spunk…
Happy New Year, Herman. I believe you and Niki will have a wonderful 2026.
The best to you all and I hope you are going to show us what the cats cook…..
I’ll post a photo of the kitty’s concoction. Thanks, Shey.
YAY!!!
Yay!
Thanks for the laughs and playful banter Tim and feline friends. 🎉
You’re welcome, Brad. Happy to give you a laugh to start the new year.
I love those dear kitties, Tim!
Dawn to dusk was beautiful! I got to see the moon last night, too. Back to cold rain this morning.
Jake and I had to walk in the rain this morning. Thanks, Lavinia.
I have to agree that Spunk is beyond hope. What a character!
He is a character. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Beautiful, fun and I love your cats and Jake.

Stunning shot of Glenda.I hope Spunkie-Poo 💋 doesn’t retaliate.
SO, black eye peas grow on tumbleweeds? 😉
As far as Jake is concerned black-eyed pees grow on tumblepeeds. Thanks, Resa.
I knew it! Love Jake in the video. Go Jake!
He liked playing a yellow wolf.
Lovely post … Happy new Year!
Thanks, Julie. I hope you are having a fantastic New Year so far.
