Yes. Cats are far more intelligent than dogs.
I have an amusing comparison of a dog’s thoughts and a cat’s thoughts!
Too long to post on here, though.

Coarse they are m’dear. 
That’s why there are so many Sniffer Cats, Medical Detection cats, Cadaver finding cats, Guide Cats, Assistance cats, Care Home visiting cats, . . . . . need I go on? 
Sorry Tabs, but I couldn’t resist that.

I’m partial to the odd tot of Laphroaig once in a while. Somebody bought my brother a bottle for Xmas, but he doesn’t like the strong smoky peaty taste. I tried to cadge it off him, but no chance. The tight bugger.

I will probably stay up to watch the Sydney midnight fireworks on TV, I might even watch the pre-fireworks entertainment (Missy Higgins is on). No one does New Year’s Fireworks like Sydney

Yes. I always stay up and see the New Year in.
As I have said before somewhere on here, I have the telly on so that I hear Big Ben chime at midnight. I have always found something magical about that moment, luv it.
I enjoy it more than Christmas Eve.
I used to always have, or give, a kiss at midnight because I thought it was lucky.
No kiss meant a loveless New Year. It used to seem so important. Saddo aint I.
Nowadays, the dogs give me a wet kiss at midnight, and send me off to bed happy.

Surely the tight-fisted bugger will at least offer you a glass of it?
Yuk!

I don’t blame him if he don’t JBR, not when he already got more bottles than a brewery for Christmas pressies! 
Jealousy will get you nowhere, dear man. .

will I be seeing the new year in? Yes through the gaps in my fingers, a bit like I watch a horror movie unfold. After the last two years, who knows what the new year holds.
Anyway I was planning a group meet up outdoors with prosecco and hot food at midnight, watching the suburban (free) fireworks somewhere on a hill, but not yet sure whether that will happen because it just feels difficult to motivate oneself these days.

After so many years of raucous parties, it has since died out round here. Besides, I often wished to be home instead of sloppy drunks with their arms around you, waiting for that fake kiss at midnight.
Last year and this one, I will be at home watching TV, fireworks from Sydney and having a drink, toasting a few of my friends who live far away. And waiting for a few texts to come in or emails wishing a Happy New Year to all.

That is nothing to do with intelligence - that is refusal to comply with human’s wishes/training! Incidentally - cats have been known to detect cancer.

It’s not New Years Eve yet?
I usually stay up but am up late anyway .
Sooner it’s over the better as far as I’m concerned .
