    The tail end just might be the cutest part of 2017.
    What a perfect little cottonball.

      Yes, exactly! ?

    Those feet!

    • Murray C December 31, 2017 / 2:06 pm

      They’re so cute – and tiny! My clementine is aptly named – she’s got the biggest clodhoppers compared to this little darling.

    Thanks, Mike and all you cutetropolis regulars, for the humor and the kindness on this site, qualities much needed and appreciated in these trying times!

      Indeed! I look back at 2017 and can’t believe what a roller coaster it was.

      Just hung my 2018 Cutetropolis calendar and let out my first guffaws at its cleverness. Great job, Mike!

    I feel just like that adorable cottontail — 2017 is definitely a year best left in the rear view mirror! Thanks for a wonderful year of Cute, Mike — and for the reminder to hang my calendar, DebG!

    • Benvolio December 31, 2017 / 1:05 pm

      That. Is. Incredible.

        I love the little garden in the link, too.

      • Smartypants December 31, 2017 / 4:46 pm

        Aren’t they great? For some reason I keep forgetting about them, and then I’m always delighted to rediscover them. And the comments make me think they’re very compatible with our community here.

      I always wonder what the ratio of cake to fondant is.

      Someone came to our party a couple of years ago with a plate of credit – except it was all meringue! (she’s a caterer)

      • Murray C January 1, 2018 / 10:06 pm

        (I just re-read this – that was supposed to say “crudite”!)

    Love that bunneh butt. Goodbye 2017, looking forward to a next year. ???? Happy New Year to everyone! Thanks Mike for many aaahhhs, ooohhhs, hahas, thuds and looking forward to more. Love the calendar ????????????????

  6. sugitomo December 31, 2017 / 1:03 pm

    I could stare at bunny butts all day. Cutest little tail-io!

    • Murray C December 31, 2017 / 2:07 pm

      How CUTE!

  7. Emsthemonster December 31, 2017 / 2:43 pm

    Happy 2018 to all Cutetropolitans!

    • Smartypants December 31, 2017 / 6:30 pm

      Thanks EMS – Happy New Year to you!

  8. Dana December 31, 2017 / 3:19 pm

    Happy New Year! Mike and fellow Cutetropolitans, thank you for a year filled with witty and clever commentary and lots and lots of cute! You made a difficult year a lot more bare able.

  9. Gigi The cat lady December 31, 2017 / 3:30 pm

    I’ll be spending the evening as I have been doing for the last 40 years, ringing in the New Year with friends that are closer to me than family.

    You probably know the old supposedly Chinese curse ” May you live in interesting time”. Well, no one can say that 2017 wasn’t interesting and not always in a good way, so my New Year wish for us all is that 2018 is very boring indeed!

    See you nest year!

    • JenDeyan December 31, 2017 / 7:17 pm

      That is so true, Gigi. I’m ready to be bored.

    • Clairdelune January 2, 2018 / 3:47 am

      Amen, Gigi!! But I’m not making any bets… about the boring part, I mean. The curse will hold for a while, I fear.
      BUT, WE STILL HAVE MIKE AND TEH QTE!! HAPPY NEW YEARS, Y’ALL, I RAISE MY GLASS OF BUBBLY TO MIKE AND ALL THE DENIZENS OF CUTETROPOLIS!!

  10. Not That Mike The Other Mike December 31, 2017 / 5:36 pm

    Happy 2018 to all Cutetropolitans near and far! Thank you for showing up day after day for these past two years. I have a feeling that the new year will be even weirder and funnier than ever, but whether the times are good or bad, I’ll bring Teh Qte.

    PS: Party here at midnight EST!

    • Dana December 31, 2017 / 7:34 pm

      Yay! I’ll bring the Prosecco!!

    • Smartypants December 31, 2017 / 7:57 pm

      Happy New Year, Mike – have a wonderful 2018!

    • dubravkamcvmd December 31, 2017 / 10:10 pm

      I wish I could be awake for the party! I’m only up at midnight these days if I woke up after a couple of hours and can’t get back to sleep. Happy New Year Mike and Ani and all the Cutetropolitans! 2017 was a good year here even if it wasn’t so good outside. Let’s hope 2018 is better for everyone!

  11. JenDeyan December 31, 2017 / 7:17 pm

    Happy New Year to all. And to all a good year! *throws hugs all around*

  12. Carlotta December 31, 2017 / 7:22 pm

    Happy New Year!!!!! I put up my (first, I know, I should have gotten one years ago) Cutropolis calendar last weekend. I couldn’t wait!!!

  13. fkaWaldenPond December 31, 2017 / 10:08 pm

    Happy New Year Cutetropolitans!- Mike, you, and this community have meant a lot to me these past two years; thank you so much for a great space. I unfortunately am battling a chest cold and in the past hour suddenly some gi stuff so I am ‘down for the count’ and not up for the countdown. I’ll be back in the am.
    Clink a glass or two for me in my absence à minuit!

  14. Boo'sMom January 1, 2018 / 12:00 am

    Happy New Year, everybody, especially Mike. Thanks for letting me lurk and for getting me through some tough family situations during 2017.

  15. Murray C January 1, 2018 / 1:03 pm

    Happy New Year, All – hope everybody’s feeling better, everyone else, stay healthy! Thanks, Mike, for providing the “feast” of humor,good nature, joy, and straight up laughter – it’s good exercise, you know!?(hee, hee)

  16. Clairdelune January 2, 2018 / 3:54 am

    Cottontails are the cutest thing – a very close second to my kitty’s round bottom when she waddles downstairs with her tiny, slightly pigeon-toed paws. 😀
