Cupid Misses Out
We have been working uber hard to get/keep Henry in his "happy" routine that this has meant that Cupid' routine has been a little upended. The morning routine used to include a 10-15 minute stint of her getting her special brushing time. Sadly, now, this time has been the first thing to be sacrificed when we start to slip in Henry's routine or if he gets extra needy. Cupid makes no bones about her displeasure with missing out on her brushing time. She is so smart, though, that she has actually figured out the plan. And the plan is to get Henry settled on his pillow and sneak out of the house right after he is chilling on his pillow.
With this discovery, Cupid has taken to blackmailing and sabotage. On days when she does not get her brushing she will be sure to cause more racket just as Henry is starting to settle. She will meow extra loudly, go in and out of the doggy door causing curious noises to Henry, get up close to Henry and sniff him, "conveniently" be starving and need to eat (her food is near Henry's bed) and this of course creates wafting smells that entice him or worst, she will be sure to poop (disgustingly creating the MOST enticing smell of all for Henry).
Cupid's antics have secured her place in the routine pecking order now, though. We are finding ways to get ALL pet care needs done. She cannot go without her brushing for even ONE day. We will all pay the price if the little girl has been without her luxury.
Seems crazy, though, doesn't it? She LOOKS so sweet and innocent! She has a name equated with LOVE. She is a senior plus. And even with all of these factors, she is still one mischievous and manipulative wittle puddy tat.

Oh how smart those babies are, and very capable of making sure they are in the mix somehow. There is nothing dumb about them, and if we observe long enough, we can learn much from them.

Cupid is one smart kitty
Oh my gosh. I don’t know why this makes me smile so much. What a naughty little kitty cat. But so beautiful. She looks like she is saying, “Who me?” in the picture.
Very clever puddy tat indeed!

Such a girl!
She needs her brushing time! Precious!
Oh Ms.Cupid, How clever you are! Now I know what they mean by “cat sense”-may need to get some. Hope all have a great wee-end. Pug hugs from pastor sue & the Colorado 2
You might want to re-investigate how Henry got that knot on his head…
Just kidding, look at that face, how could she do anything wrong??
They all know how to get what they want. I have some little operators in my house,too.
Sounds like you’re Owned by Cupid!
Ever wonder about how empty people’s lives must be without pets? How do they occupy their time?
Speaking of time, that’s what I’ve realized our precious animals have plenty of. And they use that time to mull over how they can get us to do their bidding. Cupid has been brilliant in figuring that out! I tip my hat to her!!!
