Tipper: Say hi or hello or something!
HELLO!
Tipper: You don’t have to yell!
HELLO! HELLO!
Tipper: Tell them your name.
I’m Chickie! Dat’s my name! My name is Chickie!
Tipper: Tell them how old you are.

Tipper: Tell them your life story.
I was bornded outside wif two stinky brudders. I have a cat mudder and a big sister and a buncha big nieceses and nepews. My borned-wif-me brudders got bigger than me and pushed me away from the food and played way too rough. I stayed under the porch a lot. I comeded out when Nice Lady and Nice Man comed to visit us, though. And when my bestest big nepew, Boone, tookeded care of me.

I don’t know my cat fadder, but we had Daddy Simon, that my cat mudder said can’t be a daddy, but he tookeded care of all of us and ebbybody lubs him.
So I was beat up and hungry, but then guess what! Guess what!
Tipper: Tell them!
Nice Lady and Nice Man tookeded me home wif dem and now dey’re my Mommy and Poppy!
Tipper: I call them Momma and Poppa.
I will try to say dat. But now go away and let me talk to de peoples. Rawr!
Tipper: ~sigh~
Okay, so what next? Um….
Tipper: Vet.
Hush! RAWR!
Um, so yeah, so Mommy and Poppy tookeded me to the vet. They giveded me a teddy bear to come wif me.
I am healfy. I hab to take medicine to make me stronger, but I’m pretty strong awreddy! Watch me beat up dis kick-baby!
Mommy giveded me a house that she said used to belong to a cat named Sweetie Pie. I don’ like it.
I likea sleep onna bed, under dis blankie.
Dis scratchy fing is de mostest fun!
I lub Mommy, but I lub Poppy more. He’s my pecial hooman.
Tipper: You mean special. Momma is my special hooman.
Dat’s okay, ’cause Poppy is mine.
I help him look at his pictures he made a long time ago. Dey’re black and white, like me!
I was all shut up inna one room for days and days. Den one day, Poppy let me out, because I’m really really big now! An’ I went downa stairs! See how big I am?
An’ my new brudder Tipper was down there!
Mommy and Poppy were afraid he would play too rough wif me, so dey made me go back upstairs. But I’m not afraid! I got in my fort under de chair and smacked him when he stuck his face it. Ha! Take dat! Rawr!
Tipper: I can’t help it I’m bigger and stronger! Don’t play rough with me and I won’t play rough with you!
You’re apposeda play nice wif a liddle one! Mommy and Poppy said so!
Tipper: MOMMAAAAA!
[Momma: PLAY NICE!]
See?
[Momma: BOTH OF YOU!]
Tipper: Ha!
I like Poppy better.
Tipper: Give them a writing prompt.

August 11, 2018 at 8:20pm-grin- So little! And so feisty. Watch out, Tipper, that little one is going to rule the roost soon..if not already. 😉

August 12, 2018 at 8:00amShe chased him out of my office yesterday. We have to keep them separated for fear she’ll aggravate him until he slays her.

August 12, 2018 at 7:57pmlol – poor Tipper. It’s not easy going from an only child to being bullied by something 1/4? his size. Maybe Poppa could start carrying her around in his pocket or something?
Marian Allen
August 13, 2018 at 10:01amShe would definitely fit in Poppa’s shirt pocket, but she definitely wouldn’t stay there! She’s perpetual motion until she wears herself out. lol

August 11, 2018 at 4:19pmYou nailed it. What a cutie – and there is nothing like watching kittens.

August 12, 2018 at 8:00amWe don’t exactly WATCH Chickie; watching Chickie play is definitely a participatory sport. “Hey, you be a mountain, ‘kay, an’ I climb you LIKE DIS!”

August 11, 2018 at 7:20amWelcome Chickie. MiMi and MuMu day black and white cats are the best. No offense Tipper, they call ‘em as they see ‘em.

August 11, 2018 at 9:16am‘Member when Tipper was a black and white cat? He used to have a black streak down the middle of his head, like a Mohawk, but it went away!
