Cupcake is a Cat Going Places

If you follow us on social media, you got a preview of this news last week: Cupcake is one of the stars of a new web site, Cats Going Places. This new web site is a growing resource for people who want to learn more about taking their cats with them around the city or suburbs.

We all know that Cupcake is already a pro at running errands and visiting friends around town, and now she can share some of her adventures and the lessons that she and the humans around her are learning in a centralized place.

So far, you can read more about Cupcake and get to know more about her story. This site isn’t just going to be about Cupcake, so you can also read about Chanel, Cupcake’s sister, who lives in Ohio.

You can also get tips about how to be a polite visitor to pet-friendly places. There’s a lot to remember, but cats visiting pet-friendly establishments are the first ambassadors of their kind, so it’s important that they make a good impression so that other cats are welcome later.

There is even information about the kind of harness Cupcake wears.

Stay tuned at Cats Going Places for a new article weekly featuring information for cats on the go from Cupcake, Chanel, and other cats on the go.

Secret Paw Fun

You may remember we packed up a Secret Paw package away earlier this month. We received one in the mail from our very own Secret Paw friend, Cathy Keisha from Stunning Keisha. The box smelled really interesting, but we weren’t allowed to open it until Christmas morning.

Pierre: Is it time yet? We have been waiting so long!

Newton: It’s time, all right, and I’m not waiting for anyone to open this stocking for me, either. 

Cupcake: Mr. Newton, is that how this works?

Newton: Kind of busy over here right now, kid. 

Pierre: I didn’t think you liked falerian, Newton.

Newton: Like it? This stuff is top shelf! Our friend CK picks only the best.

Newton: Back off, Pierre. I’m not sharing any of these toys. 

Pierre: Can I at least look at the card? 

Newton: Maybe when I’m done with it. 

Pierre: You’re a mean drunk, Newt. We’re going to have to cut off your valerian.

Cupcake: There’s a toy shaped like a coffee cup, all for me. And guess what? It made me find out I like catnip!

Cupcake: Watch out, world. Catnip-filled kitten on the loose! 

Everyone: Cupcake! That’s not yours!

Ashton: This is what I’m talking about. Chicken — hey, wait a minute. That doesn’t smell like chicken.

Very Meowy Christmas

We have really enjoyed having a tree in the house this past month.

In fact, we take shifts guarding it. We spend time there morning …

Cupcake heard the rumor that the whole tree thing is about to pay off, so she’s going to wait right here to see what happens.

We’re wishing all of our friends a Merry Christmas if that’s what you celebrate today. But most of all, we wish every one of of you a day full of peace and joy.

And catnip. Lots of catnip.

Squirrel Watchers

Cupcake: Mr. Newton! Come quick! Leaves are moving!

Cupcake: Hi, Miss Ashton. Did you see these leaves?

Ashton: Lots of times. Look up. There’s something even better.

Newton: What’s going on, kid?

Cupcake: Do you see what’s up in the tree?

Newton: So close, but so far away, kid.

Pierre: You woke me up for a squirrel outside? I thought I told you not to wake me up unless the squirrel was inside.

Cupcake: Do you think it’s hard to eat upside-down? 

Ashton: I never tried. Why don’t you turn your bowl upside-down at dinner and I’ll try eating it.
