Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Ashton: What’s this?
Ashton: There’s nobody back there. How does this thing work?
Cupcake: Oh, I know the answer to this one, Miss Ashton. I know that symbol!
Cupcake: Welcome to Catbucks. Can I take your order? Then the whipped cream comes out.
Cupcake: We can’t do this without the whipped cream. I’ll be right back as soon as I can find it.
Newton: Did someone say whipped cream?
I have never had a cat as brave as Cupcake. What I can’t decide is whether her bravery that allows her to go out and meet people around town is also what fuels some of the things she does around the house.
Recently, I put a sandwich on the kitchen counter and turned around to open the refrigerator to get the mayonnaise. When I turned around, there was no sandwich on the counter. I had an instant of wondering whether I had left it somewhere else before I turned to look at the kitchen floor.
There was my sandwich. And Cupcake, too.
It’s hard to believe that this is the same kitten who arrived thinking that human food was not edible.
I guess Ashton rubbed off on her.
Have your cats ever stolen your food?
Today is Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day, and Cupcake has a very important question.
Cupcake: Can I have a treat?
Cupcake: Why do I have to work for my treats and the other cats don’t?
You have lots of privileges they don’t, like getting to go out in the front yard like this. So you also have to do a little extra work.
Cupcake: NOW can I have a treat?
Yes! If you will fist bump like that, you can have anything you want, Cup.
Do you know how to fist bump for treats?
Cupcake: Are you sure this is the way to play with the tunnel, Mr. Newton?
Ashton: What are you two doing out here in my sunroom?
Cupcake: Mr. Newton is teaching me to use the tunnel.
Ashton: You’re trying to make her do THAT to the tunnel? That’s rude.
Cupcake: What do you mean, rude?
Ashton: He’s trying to —
Newton: Don’t listen to her, kid. She’s just jealous because you have a three-way tunnel and she doesn’t.
Ashton: If I can’t eat it, it’s not interesting anyhow.
