Checking in with Cousin Earl and Cousin Shep

I cat sat last week for Cousin Earl and Cousin Shep, which is usually a great time to catch up with them.

Cousin Earl is a senior now, but he still gets around on three legs like it’s no big deal at all.

Cousin Shep would like me to put down the camera and feed him, please.

Once they are done eating, both of them take off for the bedroom and I’m lucky to see them again before I go. That makes it hard to spend some quality time with them!

I got the idea of bringing my dinner over one evening so maybe they would be more social with me. Cousin Earl was really into this idea. Mostly, he was really into my sandwich.

Cousin Shep would like me to put that sandwich away and feed him. This is his no-nonsense face.

s soon as I was done feeding them, they both headed back for the bedroom again. It’s pretty clear they only think I’m good for one thing. At least they think I’m good at that and will give me a good report when Aunt O returns.

Ashton and the Mouse

Ashton: Hmm, what’s this? Newton gave up the mouse toy?

Ashton: * SNIFF * Smells like he didn’t figure out how to get the treats out of it.

Ashton: I had better get it out of here before he changes his mind and comes back looking for it.

Ashton: I’ll just take this to my secret hiding place and eat the treats out of it at my leisure.

Ashton: See you later after I finish my treat time!

Mystery Mouse

Ashton: What is it, Newt?

Newton: I don’t know. It has a tail like a mouse, but it smells like treats.

Ashton: It doesn’t squeak like a mouse.

Newton: When is the last time you caught a mouse?

Newton: Stand back, Ash, I’ve got this.

Newton: If I can’t get the treat goodness out of it, I’ll just eat the whole thing.

Ashton: Wait! Save some for me if you’re going to eat the mouse whole!

Newton: Finders keepers. Besides, this mouse is only snack sized.

Cat Cash Fever

We visited the nearby big box pet supply store over the weekend. They were having an event to promote their cat products, and of course, Cupcake got some of the “cat cash.” She was the only cat attending the event, unless you count the cats in the adoption center, so she thought she should get more cat cash. Enough to buy the cat tree of her dreams.

Unfortunately for her, the “cat cash” was really just a coupon and couldn’t be used to buy her cat tree. You can tell she’s a little bummed about that, but she didn’t let it get her down for long.

While Cupcake was the only cat on hand for the cat event, there were quite a few dogs in the store, as usual. A trainer had some of the dogs doing obedience exercises around the store, and one of them came right up to the cat tree where Cupcake was hanging out.
