The Birthday Cupcake

Last week was the manpeep’s birthday, and instead of a big cake, there were cupcakes. The manpeep left his cupcake unattended on the kitchen table for a few minutes.

Newton: Oh, BOY, is this for me? This is the best human birthday ever!

    Newton, was it YOUR birthday? Besides, I bet it wasn’t catnip flavor.

    Don’t they know the rule? All unattended food belongs to the kitties! (Happy birthday to your manpeep anyway)

    Newton, you have to act fast when these opportunities arise. I once grabbed half a meatball sub from my papa when he looked away for just 5 seconds.

    That cupcake looks pretty yummy! I can’t blame you for wanting a lick of that frosting, Newton. It looks like there was coconut on there! Maybe the manpeep will let you have lick after all.
