While the other cats have been adjusting to a kitten among them, Cupcake has been adjusting to something else: life on the go.
Newton, Ashton, and Pierre live at home unless they need to make a vet visit. But Cupcake goes out and sees people to keep up the social skills she learned at the BlogPaws conference.
Of course, Cupcake does go to the vet. She just finished her kitten vaccinations this past weekend.
She goes other places, too. Some places that allow pets have surprised us, like our local Lowe’s home improvement warehouse. Cupcake thought some of the noises there, like the paint mixing machine, were really alarming, so we probably won’t go back there for a while.
Of course, she visits the local pet stores. The day we arrived before they opened, she stood like any other impatient customer, peering in to see when the employees would let her in.
Cupcake also likes to visit local coffee shops that have outdoor seating. There, she can watch the people go by, and the ones who love cats stop to greet her.
She even has friends who she sees at the coffee shop weekend after weekend. They are already remarking on how much she is growing up!
She also has met some of the other non-human visitors to the coffee shop. She got a good look at a well-mannered dog at a nearby table this weekend.
Cupcake’s favorite coffee shop has outdoor seating in a courtyard where she can sit in the planter and pretend she is queen of the jungle.ย
She can also climb the tiny trees in the planter. These trees are about the height of a human, so she can’t get lost or stuck this way.
ย Cupcake is learning the social and confidence skills she will need for a lifetime of adventures, and she can’t wait to share them all with you!
Summer says
This is SO awesome, and I am having so many flashbacks reading about Cupcake’s adventures! I’m so glad you are helping her explore the big world, and that she is already getting something of a local fan base.
Mr. Puddy says
I love your name ” Cupcake ” It’s the kind of the name which put everyone to smile =^x^=
Me do agree with Miss Summer, Your human did the excellent job ! Thanks to her
Katie Isabella says
Cupcake, you are turning into an even more awesome girl! You will have hundreds of right-there friends!

caren gittleman says
she is such a cutie! I somehow must have missed where you mentioned you got her at BlogPaws, too cool!
Melissa & Mudpie says
She is such a little doll. I love that picture of her waiting outside waiting for the store to open…typical girl! LOL
The Menagerie Mom says
We are so excited for you, Cupcake! Not only do you have the purrfect forever home, but you’ll also be going on so many fun adventures!
Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittens says
You slayed me with that peering in the window photo..
you should go back to the home depot, just not so close to the paint department ๐
Colehaus Cats says
OMC, Cupcake, you are simply adorable, and so, so brave! What a good and beautiful girl you are!
The Island Cats says
We’re a little jealous of all the places Cupcake gets to go. How fun! We can’t wait to see what her next adventure will be.
William's Kith & Kin says
We think Cupcake is very brave–we’d be too scared to visit all those places. Plus, if our mom saw her, there’d be some catnapping going on!
Eastside Cats says
Cupcake, if I saw you at my local coffee shop or hardware store, I’d let out a “SQUEEEEE!” and insist upon petting your fur, and maybe even a snuggle! Yep, I’d be all grabby-hands!
Brian Frum says
We love seeing you out n’ about and having a good time beautiful Cupcake!
The Swiss Cats says
It’s great you do everything so Cupcake keeps and improves her social skills ! We’re looking forward to reading her next adventures ! Purrs
emma and buster says
What a great adventure. Are you training to be therapy cat sweet Cupcake?
Marg says
Oh Cupcake, what a fun time you are having, seeing the whole world and meeting new friends. Great pictures of you and so glad the Mom is doing this with you.
Lola The Rescued Cat says
She is quite the adorable kitten. Not because she looks like me, of course. Is she going to BlogPaws? If so, I just may need to go as well.
Love,
Lexy
Ellen Pilch says
Cupcake, you get out more than I do ๐
LP says
We love your little pink nose Cupcake! And the photos of you in the planter and climbing the, “tree” are adorable! You are going to make a wonderful adventure cat and we are so happy for you that you get to explore the great, big world ๐

Bringing your kitty with you sounds like so much fun. I’m sure there’s a lot of things to remember too – but it seems to me that having the skills Cupcake does can only be to her advantage. Bear is fearful of so much and I bet it’s overwhelming for him sometimes – seeing him so fearful of everything makes me sad.
Kathleen MacEllis says
Look at you , sweet Miss Cupcake ! Quite the girl about town !
Maggie says
What an adorable brave kitty! How could anybody not stop and admire her?
