Catmonkey

I had some health problems which required an inconvenient hospital stay recently, and a wondeful friend sent me a get-well sock monkey/cat. The Catmonkey now lives in Cupcake’s stroller, which has caused Newton to have some major face-offs with it.

I added a heating pad to the stroller (you can see the power cord for it at the bottom of the photo below), which gives the Catmonkey a warm lap. It has been chilly here over the past week, and Cupcake adores her new friend with the warm lap.

Despite all of the extra fur to keep him warm, Newton is also fond of Catmonkey’s warm lap and his rear end completely fills the front of the stroller when he sits there.  Newton and Catmonkey are special friends.

Have Blanket, Will Travel

Cupcake: This blanket argued with me, so I brought it to my favorite hangout.

Cupcake: It’s much more comfy to sit here with my blanket.

Cupcake: Softer under my black and white fur. This blanket is warm when it’s not fighting back.

Newton: Cupcake, you knocked things down with the blanket.

Cupcake: I didn’t mean to, Mr. Newton.

Newton: I’m sure you didn’t, kid. But I’m not going to be here when the humans find things knocked down from the tree. I usually get blamed for that. 

The Cupcake Cruiser

Newton: This is new.

Cupcake: The humans said it was my holiday present a little bit early.

Cupcake: I like presents, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with this one. You can’t eat it. Or play with it. What good is it?

Newton: I think you must have misunderstood what they were saying. This is obviously for me.

Cupcake: It’s okay, Mr. Newton. I have my cupcake, so you can sleep in the cruiser.

Teaching Wand Toy Moves

Newton: This is one tempting wand toy.

Cupcake: The one you stole from me?

Newton: That’s because you aren’t a mighty hunter like me. I can show you how.

Cupcake: OK, Mr. Newton.

Newton: First you give a big roar to scare it. Can you roar?

Cupcake: I can try.

Newton: Then you use your mighty talons to grab it. Like this. 

Cupcake: Mighty talons. OK.

Newton: Then you bite it! And make sure no matter how hard it struggles, you don’t let go. 

Cupcake: That looks like the way the humans clean between their teeth.

Newton: Cleaning my teeth?
