Cake at Petco Adoption Day!

Carrot Cake Courtesy of Roz
Roz came through for us Adopt A Pet foster parents and baked a cake. A real, live, tactile, frosted cake--not a photo pixel one. I came to Petco and set up my kitties for display, and then drove to Roz's work to pick up the cake that she had in her car. (Roz didn't want her co-workers to learn cake was available but not for them, so we had to be sneaky and transfer cake custody in the parking lot.)

Eat your heart out, MicheleZ! You may have an imaginary slice from the photo to go with your imaginary British lottery winnings.

Roz asked that I share with the dog folks, and I did. One person came back and got a number of pieces for the dog people up front. Roz baked it in a disposable foil pan so I don't need to return anything to her. I came equipped with paper plates, plastic forks and a cake knife.

Not too many Adopt A Pet cats today at Petco. I had my black quartet and one other cat, Henry, a big, fluffy orange tabby. Had a few people express some interest in our cats. I have a couple leads for my crew. Everyone finds the black quad gorgeous. Two young girls were petting and hugging on Rocket, who was well-behaved for some time, but every cat has her limits. Rocket wanted some cake--well, she definitely wanted the butter cream frosting. I put Rocket back in the display crate since she was getting hissy with the little girls. So, maybe a home with very young kids might not be ideal. Rocket's brothers just lounge in the cage and don't care what is happening or going on. They wait it out until they get to go home and have wet food.

Another rescue had a passle of kittens for adoption--oh, so cute! Orange tabbies, brown tabbies, solid grey, tortis. I could have been in kitten heaven, but they were set up at the front entrance to Petco and we were in the back room.

It was delicious cake Roz! Bill loved it too, brought home a couple pieces for him! Thank you so much for going out of your way like that. I hope these interested people work out, I would hate to be disappointed yet again, but that's the name of the game sometimes!

Mmmm...that cake looks yummy! Knowing Roz, I'm pretty sure it was vegan. I'd love a piece, but it would be a long drive just for cake. I'll bet MicheleZ will be drooling over this one! LOL

Michele has been silent for several days, and then slams us with 5 journals in one day. Michele has been ignoring my journals. She just can't face the cake that I had and she didn't! I get to have cake and get to eat it too!
Plus, Michele is still trying to recover from my video being featured on "Pick of the Litter". I haven't noticed her video of a cat chewing the Halloween table cloth getting featured on the home page, even though that video supposedly "won" that contest.

About time- NOW will your quite your whining and complaining? Was this a vegan cake?

Well, maybe quit about cake whining. But I may still whine about wanting kittens!

Shucks!! I commented to Roz yesterday that if she took a carrot cake today to Petco I would definately be there for some. I could not get there because I am too busy making fleece mats. Was it good??

Cake was moist and yummy. No walnuts. Butter cream frosting instead of cream cheese, with pumpkin pie like spices in it. I got the left overs. Ahhhhh, cake, almost as good as kittens to cuddle.

I did a really short journal today that I finally got to vote on pet wars for someone I knew. Guess who! Marigold! First time ever for me.

No way! Cathy (Kittles mom) said that she got to vote for my foster Buddy a few days ago. I don't play pet wars much anymore, and have not seen any cats that I recognized.
