Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? Sweetie Pie is really really really really sick! Her belly is all full of water or somethin’ and she won’t eat. Sweetie Pie won’t eat!

Momma looked it up on the gumpooter and told me it could be lots of reasons. The doctor said he can tell her in a week, but he has to wait for the dog to decide what it is. I would have asked a cat, but he has this lab he always asks about stuff.

Momma says Julie of Story A Day sent her an email saying to maybe write a story about somebody selling something or trying to talk somebody into something, so I’m writing a story about Sweetie Pie and me. I wish the end was true, but it’s maded up.

New Friends (I Wish)

by Tipper Allen

There was a handsome white cat named Handsome who lived in a big house in the woods. His hooman Momma and Poppa lived with him and gave him everything he needed and lots of toys. They put trees and birds and squirrels and deer and stuff outside so he could look out of the windows and jump around all excited.

Then, one day, Tipper Handsome’s Momma brought home an old cat named Stinky Princess who used to live with Handsome’s Momma’s momma, who went to the Rainbow Bridge to be with her other animals.

Stinky Princess was grouchy and wanted Tipper’s Handsome’s Momma and Handsome’s house all to herself. She would growl at poor, precious Handsome, and hiss and smack at him just because he smacked at her! But it was his house!

One day, Stinky Princess got sick, so she didn’t feel like running away or smacking.

Tipper Handsome stretched out close to her.

“I’m right neeeeeeeeeeeear you,” he said.

“Go away,” said Stinky Princess. “If I felt good, I would knock your ears so hard you could listen with your butt.”

“Ummm, you said ‘buuuuutt’.”

Stinky Princess sighed. “You are such a kitten.”

“Play wif me!”

“I don’t play.”

“Momma says all these toys are yours.”

“I used to play. Kittens play. I’m nearly twelve. I don’t play.”

“Play wif me!”

“Go away.”

“If you play wif me, I’ll go away.”

“That makes no sense.”

Tipper Handsome turned his head upside down. “Play wif me. Pleeeeeeeeease?”

Stinky Princess looked away.

HANDSOME reached out a paw. “I touchin’ you taaaa-il.”

“Stop it.” Stinky Princess twitched her tail out of the way.

He reached out a paw again. “I touchin’ you pawww-awwww.”

“Stop it,” Stinky Princess said, but she didn’t move her paw.

So they took a cat nap together and then they woke up and played and played and they were bestest friends forebber.
