Shopping

Pierre: Look what I found. This drawer just happened to be open. (Not that I would have had anything to do with it opening.) It’s time to go shopping!

Ashton: Does he seriously think I can’t see him shopping in that drawer?

Pierre: Oh, hey, Ash! What’s happening?

Ashton: You shopping in the drawer is happening. And I know you aren’t supposed to be in there. That stuff isn’t yours.

Pierre: I wasn’t shopping. You didn’t see anything.

Ashton: Maybe I did, and maybe I didn’t. But I think they might have.

Pierre: Oh, ummm…. Hello, everybody! * whispering * You could have warned me.

Ashton: You could have stayed out of the drawer. You are so busted!

Surprise Package

Ashton: My friend Sage told me she was sending me a surprise package, but she wouldn’t tell me what was in it. I have had to wait for DAYS for it to travel in the mail, but it’s here!

Ashton: OMC, it’s chicks! Except…. what happened to them? They aren’t moving. Did they get motion sickness from being in the mail?

Newton: That doesn’t look too good. Are you sure Sage sent you live chicks?

Ashton: These don’t smell right. I know what chicken smells like, and this isn’t it.

Newton: Are you sure? You’ve never smelled chickens this small. Maybe they smell different when they’re small.

Ashton. No. My chicks have been catnapped!

If you missed them, catch up on all of Ashton’s chicken capers.

St. Catrick’s Day Cupcake

We told you last year about the St. Catrick’s Day traditional licking of the icing. It’s time to celebrate again!

Ashton: Whoa, you’re starting without me?

Newton: Well you didn’t expect us to wait, did you? If we wanted for you, we would never get a turn.

Ashton: You would so! Maybe.

Ashton: But now it’s my turn!

Ashton: Hey, it dumped over.

Newton: And your teeth wouldn’t have anything to do with that?

Pierre: Use your tongue for the icing, not your teeth, Ash. We’ve been over this before.

Newton: Your tongue, like this. * SLURP *

Ashton: Easy with the cooties there, Newt!

Newton: You’re hardly one to tell anycat to go easy. That isn’t exactly a dainty, ladycatlike bite you’re taking.

Ashton: Who said anything about being ladylike? I have to get my share while I can.

Ashton: If I can just get it out of this paper stuff… there it goes.

Ashton: Now I can really get my teeth into it!

Ashton: Where’d it all go? Isn’t there any more?

Ashton: If you’ll excuse me, I need a nap now.

Ashton eats a grain-free, low-calorie diet, and this is an unusual treat because of the holiday. She was supposed to share it with Newton and Pierre, not eat the whole cupcake herself. We do not recommend feeding your cat cupcakes.

The Acro-Cats are Amazing

The Acro-Cats wrapped up ten days of performances in Orlando this weekend with some amazing acrobatic feats. Some of their skills look like something from a circus, like walking a tightrope.

Or jumping long distances through hoops.

Or pushing a glitter ball.

It seemed like they were always in motion. Well, almost always. Little Jax spent a lot of time sitting in front of her oversized cutout, except for when she wandered out into the delighted audience.

The cats are trained by Samantha Martin, who has trained many animals professionally and now travels on a bus with the Acro-Cats to bring them to audiences around the country.

Onstage, they run, leap, climb, and manipulate things with their paws.

Have you ever wanted your cat to be able to do tricks like climbing a perch when you ask?

Part of the show is Samantha talking about her clicker training and target pole methods, where she assures you that you can teach your cat the same thing.

The thought of Ashton learning to ring a bell every time she wants more chicken is kind of scary, so we probably won’t be teaching this trick this at our house.

Some of the cats have musical talents, too, and they play in the Rock Cats band.

There were a lot of percussion instruments in the Rock Cats band.

The famous Tuna even plays more cowbell!

Not everyone in the Acro-Cats show was a cat. In addition Samantha and her two human helpers, there was also a groundhog.

There was also a chicken who could bowl. (Don’t tell Ashton.)

All of the cats performing in the Acro-Cats are rescues, and the traveling troupe picks up abandoned kittens needing fosters, raises them, trains them, and eventually adopts them out to forever homes. They currently have a bottle baby traveling with them who joined the group at their previous stop in New Orleans.

The Acro-cats really bring the message of adopting rescued animals to a whole new level. You can see if they’re scheduled to visit a town near you at The Amazing Acro-Cats web site.
