Introducing........Cupcake Q. Baxter the Kitty Cat

So we also trapped our outside kitty in the last few weeks.....surprise! she is a girl, not a boy.
Meet Cupcake Q. Baxter. She's named after the book "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake." We also call her Cuppy or Cupson Q. Cat, don't ask me why.

She went to get spayed almost immediately, as Mama thought she was pregnant....the PAWS people said no, but she thinks they were wrong....you just don't lose a hard round belly like that overnight. Anyway, she is fine now and FIV negative. If you want her, let us know!

She is semi-tame, getting better every day. She gets scared and hisses when you try to grab and/or pet her, but she does like us and purrs very loudly and happily cuddles with my Mommy, Flint, and Delmar. She thinks Flint is her new cat Mommy!

Here she is!


She doesn't do much here, but at least you can see her better.

My Halloween

Okay I know this is a little late....well, a lot late, but I smeared some yogurt on the camera and it took a while to get things working again. We had to use Da's phone in the meantime, and that wasn't too reliable...you'll see.

For Halloween this year, first I declared that it was "scary to me." That's my new phrase. Then literally a couple of days before, I told my teacher that I was planning on being a zebra and I wanted her to be a zebra too. Mom got me a nice horsie costume that I wore to the Highland Park Halloween Festival (and I DO have a picture after all!); incidentally, this was where Mommy caught the chicken pox for the second time (long, long story)

Big Mom also got me a really cool zebra outfit. Then at the last second, I decided that I also wanted to be a Baker chef, so I ended up having not one but three costumes, and I wore two at once!!!! And I trick-or-treated. When Da finally came home from work, as it was his last day on the late late shift, I told him, "look Da at all this candy I found!" He and Mommy were laughing about it.

Grace and Me...I am in my horsie costume....after saying I was scared of costumes!


Hi Tammy!



Here is the full zebra chef double costume!


What does a zebra chef make?



I don't know, but it has something to do with sticks....


From the side, it looks almost pumpkinish!


As I say, Happy Zebra-ing!





And if you really want to see it, keep scrolling.....
