One Year with Cupcake

It was one year ago that Cupcake arrived. Miss Jeanne from Random Felines brought her all the way from Ohio.

She was so tiny that she fit inside Pierre’s cat feeder.

She may have been small, but she was full of trouble. Watch out, Newton!

No one was safe when Cupcake wanted something, whether it was a toy or a box. Sorry, Pierre.

Cupcake wasn’t just stealing toys from her housemates. She also started stealing hearts around town on her weekly outings.

She celebrated her first Halloween dressed as her favorite friends around town, the baristas who give her whipped cream.

And she discovered how much fun it is to shop at the pet store. Can you believe these birds don’t even seem to know she’s here?

Cupcake loved her first holiday season with the family. Especially the whole thing where there was a tree in the house.

And she grew into a big, strong cat.

Before we knew it, it was time for her to pack a bag to go to the BlogPaws conference, were she picked out her human the year before.

Which meant it’s now a year since she arrived. To celebrate, Cupcake is just chilling out to celebrate this gotcha day.

Thanks for being along for all of her adventures. We can’t wait to share her next year with you, too!
