Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? I’ve been such a good helper, and so un-bitey for two whole weeks, Momma got me a good-boy present!
The people she bought it from wrapped it around jars and cans of dopey stuff, so it wouldn’t get crunched up in the mail. Momma and Poppa got a kick out of the dopey stuff the present was wrapped around. Hoomans are so cute.
Here’s my present.
I loved it right away!
My Momma is the best Momma ever, and she gets me the bestest presents!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: What is the bestest present your hooman ever got you?

To a cat, they are such a thing.
Toy and a puzzle, Oh! Such a fling!
Enough fun there, to make a cat sing.

Thanks for liking the poem!

September 2, 2017 at 5:22pmGood boy Tipper! I’m glad you liked that toy. You’re being extra good because if you didn’t scrunch and tear it, your momma would have to throw it out. You should get a treat on top of the toy. I’m glad to hear you haven’t been biting.

Tipper in his element!
Not just a toy, but a lifestyle!
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, and p.s……I hear you can put down four strips of tape on a floor to make a faux box…..and cats will magnet to it like lemming!

September 2, 2017 at 6:42pmSounds like fun, but Tipper is his own cat: doesn’t care about boxes. Go figure!
