Bag Games

Newton: What — you’re knocking that bag over!

Ashton: Isn’t it great, Mr. Newton?

Newton: It’s a nice bag, but I don’t know if I would call it great. It isn’t full of chicken or anything. 

Cupcake: It’s great because it’s easy to get into now.

Newton: You don’t seem to be having an easy time getting into it. You’re just waving your paws at it. 

Cupcake: I always do this before I go in. Just in case there are other cats inside.

Newton: If there were other cats inside, wouldn’t they have fallen out when you tipped the bag over? Don’t answer that. Just let me know if you find other cats in there. 

Cupcake: I’m looking. Nope, not other cats here but you. And me.

Newton: There are days I don’t know if you count as a cat or a dog. 

Cupcake: No dogs in here, either.

Newton: Never mind, Cupcake. Just… never mind.

When Wand Toys Attack

Cupcake: Hi, Mr. Pierre. What are you playing with? 

Pierre: It’s the wand toy. You don’t want to play with this.

Cupcake: Why wouldn’t I want to play with it?

Pierre: This is too dangerous for a young cat like you.

Pierre: Look how dangerous it is. It’s attacking me! 

Cupcake: Do you need me to rescue you? 

Pierre: Stay back for your own protection!

Pierre: Save yourself! I’ll hold this here while you run to safety! 

Cupcake: Thanks, Mr. Pierre.

Cupcake’s New Buddy

If you follow Cupcake’s adventures on Cats Going Places on Facebook, you might remember she had a new admirer recently.

Rocco is about Cupcake’s size, and he has been super-curious about the cat lounging in the chair and getting attention from all the passersby. His human has always been careful to keep him at a little bit of a distance, because he was concerned that Rocco’s enthusiasm might be too much for Cupcake.

This weekend, I reassured Rocco’s human that Cupcake would be fine as long as Rocco didn’t jump up into her chair with her. When Rocco walked up to the chair where she sat, Cupcake crept close to the arm of the chair so she could get a better look at him.

Rocco got up on his hind legs and poked his head under the chair arm. He was a little distracted at the scent of treats on her blanket. Sorry, Rocco, Cupcake doesn’t leave treats hanging around for long.

Rocco and Cupcake took a long look at each other. You can see that Cupcake’s whiskers were relaxed and she wasn’t afraid of the dog at all.

Buddies!

Cupcake didn’t seem inclined to hop down and play with Rocco, as much as he would have liked that, but they won’t hesitate to say hello to each other again next time they are both at the coffee shop for a visit.

Tuxedos in High Places

Cupcake: Guess where I am?

Cupcake: I jumped all the way on top of the beach shack shaped cabinet the humans have in our living room. I’m taller than any human now! Look how close the ceiling is. You can also see that my humans don’t dust things above their eye level. I’m taking care of that for them now.

Cupcake: I can reach the top of the drapes, too. Without getting yelled out for climbing them, even.

Cupcake: This isn’t as comfortable as I expected. It’s kind of pointy.

Cupcake: Maybe I should have thought about how I would get down from here before I jumped up.

Newton: I moved the ottoman over for you. Jump down this way.

Cupcake: Thank goodness.
