Cupcake Met the Easter Bunny

Cupcake’s track record with holiday-themed meet-and-greets hasn’t been great. She was afraid of Santa Claus in past years. But when we heard she had the chance to see the Easter Bunny, I thought she would do fine in her stroller after all of the strangers she met from it at Global Pet Expo.

She wasn’t sure what to make of the Easter Bunny’s mittened hands, but she sat in her stroller next to the big rabbit for photos.

Afterward, she stood up, and it seemed like she was ready to have another photo, so Cat Dad helped by picking her up and sitting with the Easter Bunny. Cupcake still didn’t approve of those bunny mittens.

Then there was a question about which direction to look for the camera. Not back there, Cupcake. That’s the adoption center! They aren’t taking photos there.

Cat Dad pointed out where to look for her.

Cupcake looked right at the camera for her big photo.

This modeling thing isn’t so hard!

Cupcake’s Got a Boyfriend

Cupcake: Oh, hi, Rocco. Nice of you to look in my window like that. Did you know your paw poked me in the butt?

Cupcake: How are you today, Rocco?

Cupcake: Want to touch noses?

Cupcake: Whoa! The tongue thing is a little too personal.

Cupcake: I’ll keep my tongue over here if you keep yours over there. Deal?

Birthday Celebration

Yesterday was Cupcake’s second birthday, and we had a celebration. How do you celebrate a birthday for Cupcake? With a cupcake, of course.

Newton got to the cupcake first.

Cupcake: What are you doing, Mr. Newton? 

Newton: *slurp*

Cupcake decided to help herself, but there wasn’t a fork in sight.

Cupcake: Mr. Newton, I’m just going to take a little bit right here. 

She used both paws to sample both sides of the cupcake.

Cupcake: Who needs a fork when I have claws?

She ate it, sprinkles and all!

Even after Newton gave up and left, Cupcake continued to eat icing using the paw method.

Until she finally realized she could slurp it up.

Happy second birthday, Cupcake!

Cupcake’s Busy Week

Cupcake had a very busy week last week. She went on her first visit ever to Global Pet Expo, where the pet industry shows retailers what new products they have available.

They had activities for attendees at various booths, like putting your pet’s name on a sticker and adding it to a board for Hill’s to make donations to a local shelter.

As you can see, Pierre, Cupcake, Ashton, and Newton were all represented.

There were a surprising number of pets attending the event. Most of them were small dogs in strollers, and people were always surprised to look into Cupcake’s stroller and find a cat inside instead of a dog. Cats and dogs weren’t the only animal attendees. A beautiful lizard on a leash was there, too. We ran into her several times, but Cupcake didn’t notice her at all.

Cupcake had the chance to check out some of the new products. At the New Age Pet booth, she watched attentively while the booth staff demonstrated the litterbox hiding furniture.

She decided she absolutely won’t wear this costume. Would it be redundant?

One of the events Cupcake attended was a press conference featuring Jackson Galaxy, the famous cat behaviorist. He came by our table in the press room to see her, and he liked her fist bump, observing it’s similar to the tricks they teach shelter cats in his Cat Positive program.

Cupcake spent long days exploring the enormous expo floor and attending events. She was SO good, calmly letting lots of strangers pet her. Pet industry people are better than average people we run into about asking before petting her, which was nice. 

After the expo ended, Cupcake invited some of her friends who were in town to join her for her weekly coffee shop patio visit. She was all tired out after so much excitement, and she slept the rest of the weekend.
