Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? Sweetie Pie is still here! Momma says Sweetie Pie doesn’t have any other place to live, but there’s a whole outside, so I don’t know what she means. Sweetie Pie could live outside and eat birds and squirrels and mice and stuff.
I like to watch birds and squirrels through the window. I bet they taste really good. And the barn cats where I used to live ate mice all the time.
Momma says Sweetie Pie was lonely, living alone up at Granny’s house. She says Sweetie Pie would be lonely if she lived outside. I bet she wouldn’t. She could make friends with the other outside cats I see sometimes.
I understand that Sweetie Pie would want to live with Momma, because I know I do, but why does Momma want to live with Sweetie Pie?
Why does she need annuder cat…
Besides, I’m so graceful, even in my sleep!
Hoomans! Who can unnerstanum?

N and S Korea are trying.
Gizzy’s new family has a dog – and he and Gizzy are sniffing through her cage bars. The daughter has left her cat while she’s on a job – and J says the cat has killer eyes – and is keeping the cat away.
Some animals not raised together from birth learn to tolerate or even enjoy others, some don’t.
And there isn’t much we can do.

April 29, 2018 at 7:27amYou’re so right about being helpless in the face of animal instincts/personalities. Katya, my late Russian Blue, had absolutely no interest in Dasha, #4 Daughter’s chinchilla, when Dasha visited us. I think Tipper would want to play Of Mice and Men with her. I have high hopes for Tipper and Sweetie Pie. Sweetie Pie should remember what it was like when SHE was young and Mom’s dog was old and didn’t want to play.
