Another Fake Cupcake

We told you about our neighborhood fake Cupcake last week. She’s still around, and she tried to follow a visitor into the house a few days ago! But Misty isn’t the only fake Cupcake going around.

Cupcake’s foster mom has a cat who is also a fake Cupcake.

Kitten Cupcake (then named Dior):

Fake kitten Cupcake is named Gargoyle, in honor of real Cupcake’s habit of lurking on top of the bathroom cabinet like a gargoyle. black and white tuxedo cat looks down from atop cabinet

Little Gargoyle is full of sass, just like her namesake. If you ever wanted your own Cupcake, Gargoyle will be available for adoption soon from Colony Cats in Ohio.

UPDATE: Gargoyle was adopted!

Hello! Please let me in!

Newton: Hey, kid, what are you doing outside? If I’m not allowed out there, neither are you!

Newton: Did you sneak out the door after the humans? I followed your stroller out one day, but they told me I had to come right back in.

Cupcake: Mr. Newton, don’t talk to her! 

Newton: Whaaaaaat? If this isn’t you, who is it?  A fake Cupcake!

Cupcake: I don’t know, but I don’t trust her.

Our unexpected visitor was Misty, who lives a few houses away. She slipped out a torn screen in her catio, and she is super-friendly with everyone. Her friendliness is kind of amazing, since Misty was rescued from a hoarding situation.

She looks enough like Cupcake she has faked people out several times. Our next door neighbor tried to return her to us thinking Cupcake was on the loose.

We haven’t had another visit from Misty while our front porch was open, but our surveillance camera has caught her chilling on the glider on our porch.

I Scream, You Scream!

Newton: What’s this? Yum!

Pierre: I saw Cupcake come inside with that ice cream, Newton. You should save some for her. 

Cupcake: Did I hear my name? HEY! Mr. Newton, I got that ice cream cone for my good behavior today.

Newton: I behaved today. 

Cupcake: Let me have a little bit at least. 

Cupcake: OK, gotta go.

Pierre: Did you scare Cupcake away by making that face, Newt?

Newton: I didn’t mean to. It’s brain freeze. 

Ashton: I want a share, too!

Ashton: Stand back, Newt, I’m going to be sure I get my fair share.

New Water

Cupcake: There’s new water in the house! Mr. Newton, come see this!

Newton: What are you doing? 

Cupcake: I think I can suck on this water.

Cupcake: *snort* It went in my nose!

Newton: Yuck. You can have this thing to yourself, kid. 

Cupcake: Fine, he’ll miss out on the real fun. 

Cupcake: This is the really fun part!
