Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? Momma and Poppa giveded me two Christmas presents!
One of them is a red-dot toy that Momma doesn’t have to hold to make it work. She can just turn it on and go back to typing with her long, skinny paws while I play and play! It’s so fun!
The other one, I wasn’t too sure about at first. I had to do a lot of bespecting first, but I finally decided it was a good toy.
It has a crinkly bed in it and three windows and two dangly toys. One of them has feathers on it, and I like to chew on them and lick them.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: What did you get for Christmas? If you didn’t get anything or your hooman doesn’t celebrate Christmas, what’s your faborite toy?

December 30, 2017 at 1:38pmSo tell us more od the red dot that plays automatically with you. We have needs. This cannot be kept a secret! The Felinic Oath will be invoked!
And while not a spammer (Some Honoured Members may disagree!) I do, on rare occasions, eat SPAM. Is that good enough? Would KLIK or KAM do?

December 30, 2017 at 3:16pmSPAM is delicious, Mr. Pest! The automatic red dot is called a Bolt, and it runs on batteries. It has an automatic switch-off after 15 minutes, but sometimes Tipper wants to play more, so I hit the button again. It looks like a schmoo. If you don’t know what a schmoo is, you ain’t old enough.

December 30, 2017 at 10:00pmA Bolt, eh? Well, tell us more with pics! A shmoo? eh.
Something is vague in my memory……….
(It is an old memory. The forgetter works perfectly!)
Yes. I had a ceramic one as a kid. He was green. He held a little earth and a small pet cactus plant.
Both long gone! I miss my Shmoo!
(I strongly advise you to not try pet the cactus, as I did… In all fairness, I was 6 or 7…)

Type in: “what does the SHMOO do” (It is a MASH Clip)
Sadly I cannot post url’s here.
ENJOY!

December 31, 2017 at 8:36amAL Capp. AL Capp. Andy Capp was a whole ‘nother bundle of laffs.
No pictures of the Bolt. Top sekrit. shhhhhhhhhhh
And you can’t post URLs because you keep changing your name, you goofball! When you change your ID, my SPAM filter fails to rekernize you. SMH

December 31, 2017 at 8:41amI keep getting them confused. There are too many Capps!
Now I get told this. I figurated it all ran off the he-mail address.
So I cannot be the man of 1000 names and faces. Drats!
Well, The world needs more goofballs!
Marian Allen
December 31, 2017 at 9:05amI would have thought the address was the key, too, but The Spaminator says NO. You can be the man of 1000 names if you want to; you just can’t post URLs and I’ll have to release you from Limbo before your post shows up. And you have NO faces, you know, without a Gravatar. Just a Mystery Man icon. You cool dude, you!

December 30, 2017 at 5:39pmOh my kitties would love a tent! Cletus loves the red dot, but he’s the only one. He’s also fairly obsessive with the shadows and lights on the walls.
He likes my new ear bobs. I have to take them out when I get home, because they’re too sparkly for sofa-sitting. Cletus can’t resist! lol
Marian Allen
December 31, 2017 at 8:27amYOU SAY EAR BOBS, TOO!!!! ~hugs Joey~ I haven’t heard that from anybody but me for mor’n fifty years! ~hugs Joey again~
I bought the tent from Chewy.com. It’s super-cool, because it comes folded up in a disc. You can fold it up and take with.

December 30, 2017 at 6:29pmJust wondering, Tipper, if I could borrow your tent. I don’t have enough places to sleep if you don’t count two cat trees, a bed, a basket, three boxes and a couch. Thanks. Love, Ziva.
Marian Allen
December 31, 2017 at 8:29amLOL! There are NEVER enough places to sleep! I’m thinking of getting Tipper a cat tree for his Gotcha Day present. That pesky Poppa won’t like it cluttering up the place, but Tipper NEEDS a cat tree! He NEEDS it!

December 30, 2017 at 7:28pmYou are such a lucky boy, Tipper! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😀

December 31, 2017 at 1:21pmSo how does one Do or Get a gravatar? Do I need to be measured by some top secret monkey?
Marian Allen
December 31, 2017 at 5:12pmAbsolutely. You go to http://gravatar.com/ and apply, and a top secret monkey creeps into your house at night and measures you. You don’t even know it’s happened until you go to post a comment, and it goes through.
pm laberge
December 31, 2017 at 1:23pmAnd, oh… Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all the denizens of your household!
Cats, people, goldfish, computers, and anything else that is welcomed!
Marian Allen
December 31, 2017 at 5:12pmThank you! Same to you! No goldfish, alas. We had goldfish, but they perished. I think the top secret monkey peed in the tank.
