Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Cupcake: I see how you catch it, Mr. Newton. Can I try next?
Newton: All right, kid, it’s all yours.
Cupcake: I’m going to catch it now!
Cupcake: This is harder than it looks.
Newton: Hey, watch where you’re putting that paw, kid!
Cupcake: Sorry, Mr. Newton. I’ll keep practicing all weekend until I’m as good a hunter as you.
Newton: Now this is what I call how to get a party started.
Cupcake: What was that, Mr. Newton?
Newton: Watch and I’ll show you, kid.
Newton: First you approach your prey very carefully.
Newton: When it flies past, be ready to swat it out of the air.
Newton: Get your paw on it. When you feel it in your pads, hold on tight!
Newton: Then you go in for the kill, like this.
Cupcake Wow, Mr. Newton. You killed it.
Newton: Do you think you can do it, too?
Cupcake: We need to find a new washing machine, and the humans said I can help! There isn’t a washing machine in sight. I think it’s that way, Aunt O!
Cupcake: We don’t want this one. It has a thing sticking up in the middle.
Cupcake: This one is on sale. I think we should buy it.
Cupcake: Wasn’t that easy? Humans make a big deal out of shopping for these things, and I picked this one right out in no time.
Cupcake: Do you think we need a matching dryer? I need someone with thumbs to help me open it so we can take a look.
Cupcake: That looks good. There is room to warm up lots of blankets for me in there. Buy that one.
Cupcake: That was fun! Can we do refrigerators next?
I spent quality time with lots of cats last week. Of course, Cupcake was there.
And her sister, Chanel, looking gorgeous in her sweet ride.
I also visited with Coco the couture cat. No one rocks a blinged-out stroller quite like she does, and she has a sense of style that puts models on the runway to shame.
Kylo Ren from Kitty Cat Chronicles was also there. He’s a big adventurer, and look how handsome he is! His lovely fur is just as soft as it looks, too.
Summer from SparkleCat was also in attendance. She’s absolutely gorgeous. It’s striking how tiny she is. Can you see how small she is in comparison to her human’s hands?
I also got to visit with a couple of the local resident cats who weren’t attending the conference. The handsome Lowenstein from goodnightharveymonster. I love how the white around his lips is asymmetrical.
I also met his roommate, Stilwell. Despite his looking a little standoffish in this photo, Stilwell may be the friendliest cat I have ever met. He jumped right into my lap and demanded attention, even though he had just met me.
There were so many more cats, most of them missed photo opportunities because I had my hands full of a certain tuxedo cat. Big thanks to Miss Emily from Kitty Cat Chronicles for the handmade flower Cupcake wore for the formal event on the final night of our visit.
