Cupcake’s Questions

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.

    Oh! I don’t fist bump yet – that’s something I need to learn! I can jump through hoops though. That is actually my favorite trick, next to High Fives.

    CC, fist bumps are cute but it’s like your human expects you to bribe her for treats and to go outside. I get treats at night just cos I’m a pain in the @$$ if I don’t. Heh heh.

    I’m a “kept” kitty, so I don’t have to work for anything. I am expected to mind my manners though.
