Hissterical Reasons Cats Made It Onto The Naughty List This Year (And A Couple Wholesome Cats On The Nice List): ICanHasCheezburger 2023 Recap

Christmas is finally here! the gifts have been bought, Santa Claws has brought them, and now, it is time to reveal who made it onto this year's naught and nice lists. Now, if you're a human, you have, by default, been put on the nice list this year by us. Why? Because it's been a rough year, and we believe in celebrating the little things, so if you have made it here in one piece, you deserve a little gift. But if you're a cat… and you did not have to face the madness of the world this year, well… then you might have made it onto the naughty list.

Let's be real - the vast majority of cats are on the naughty list this year, as they are every year. Cats cause chaos wherever they go. Cats ruin Christmas trees, cats sit directly on our chests first thing in the mornings and make us think we're having a heart attack, cats steal food directly from your plate while making eye contact with you. Cats are naughty, and still, because we are their Santas… we bought them all gifts anyway.

"Nelly is my zen-master..."

"Nelly is my zen-master. She does not care about lists. She will be 17 in two weeks. She found me at the shelter and was already more than 10 years old said the vet. I could not give all cats a forever home, so I decided BEFORE to take the first cat on the left row... now she is deaf and has arthritis but it's ok: I can't jump around anymore either!"
