Cookie Up to a Few Tricks

Cookie really prefers a three-quarter view.

Not quite curling up in mixing bowls but no small feat in her condition, Cookie got herself onto the table by the window with a walk up three steps and a little leap, then stepped up onto the—what else—cookie tin! Must have been meant for her to sit on since it had her name on it!

She still doesn’t like her photo taken so she often manages to blur it a little when she looks right at me.

But often she gives me a real sourpuss face!

And from my Facebook update from earlier today: “Cookie may still be a little wobbly (we’re working on that) but I hear her in the kitchen pawing through the little container for cleaned cat food cans headed for the recycling bin. Okay, it’s time for the Senior Lunch Special!”

Here she is…busted!

Busted!

Remind you of Cookie’s Kitchen Escapades?

    • Ingrid, I’m still concerned her gait isn’t clearing up, but that little Cookie personality is back in full force!

  • That’s so funny because Rainbow doesn’t seem to like having her picture taken either. She just doesn’t hold still. That’s why I have so few of her.

    • Andrea, I tried for years to photograph Cookie’s face–she looks right at me with such an adoring look! But she’ll tease me and just at the last moment look away. In the last year or two I think she realizes she’d better make sure there are a few accurate photos so she lets me get one or two now and then.
