I’m not going to spend a bunch of time talking about what a garbage year 2021 was. You were there, you know. Instead, I’m just going to do my level best to look forward to a new year and a new chance to make things better. And I’m going to resist the urge to say, “Hey, it couldn’t be worse than last year!” because since about 2015, each year has seemed eager to take on that challenge.
Anyway, 2022 will be the Year of the Tiger, so here are some adorable tigers. Have a wonderful New Year, continue to stay safe, and I’ll see y’all on the flip side.

Tigers can meow like domesticated cats, their voice is just a little deeper. from Damnthatsinteresting
