Disputed Territory

Newton: This is my ottoman. I don’t know why the humans call it an ottoman, but I know that I can see into the important rooms of the house from here. Hangouts don’t get much better than this.

Cupcake: Hi, Mr. Newton!

Newton: Hi, kid. What are you doing on my ottoman?

Cupcake: I’m here to be with you!

Newton: With me? I’m not sure there’s enough room for that here.

Cupcake: There will be enough room if we cuddle really close like this.

Newton: Kid…

Cupcake: Isn’t this nice?

Newton: Whoa, stop that. Your whiskers tickle.

Cupcake: So you don’t want to cuddle with me? Really?

Newton: Don’t get your feelings hurt, kid. It’s summer, and I’m floofy. I don’t cuddle with anyone this time of year.

Cupcake: Then maybe you could make a little more room for me?ย 

Newton: Ow, hey, watch where you’re putting those paws!

    We guess you can’t feel too badly that Newton, “took off”, when you get the entire ottoman to yourself, right Cupcake?!! ;p

    So does Cupcake have a little crush on you, Newton, or is she just a wily female?

    Newton, it just might be time to suck it up and admit that Cupcake is adorable and that you really want to snuggle together! C’mon big guy, tell the truth!

    Cupcake, with your arrival I think this blog just might be breaking rules as far as excessive cuteness on the internet…

    It’s so adorable that Cupcake wants to cuddle with Newton. Maybe you’ll be needing a larger ottoman come winter when colder weather encourages snuggling.
