Do you loathe the holiday season? Do you feel your blood pressure rise at the mere thought of nonstop, large-group social interaction? Well, meet your match — Grumpy Cat does, too.
I had the rare opportunity to commiserate with fellow world-renowned curmudgeon Grumpy Cat before the debut of her first-ever blog detailing her biggest pet peeves. Read on as she (begrudgingly) offers up her keys to surviving the upcoming holiday season, details the unquestionable authenticity of Santa Claus, and shares a few things on her wish list this year.
On the worst parts of 2016
"When I ran out of cat treats. Also maybe this interview."
On the best parts of 2016
"Ate a lot of Cat Concoctions, my favorite meal. I suppose I did get to help out a bunch of cats with less fabulous lives than my own, which was nice. I guess. Don't write that down."
[Editor's note: Grumpy Cat is totally being modest — she made her debut on Broadway this year in a production of Cats.]
On dealing with annoying relatives over the holidays
"Send them home immediately, of course. Or take shelter under the nearest bed and refuse to come out if all other options fail."
On the legitimacy of Santa Claus
"Absolutely, Santa is real. But frankly, I'm not concerned either way as long as there's Party Mix under the tree."
On her holiday wish list
"All I want for the holidays this year is silence. More doom and gloom, less chitter-chatter. And more wet food and cat treats. Obviously."
