Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what? My little sister, Chickie, and I are bestest friends now!
How do I know? ‘Cause she uses my litter box and steals my food. I steal her food, too, but I don’t use her litter box. It’s way too little, but mine is big, ’cause I’m a big boy.
Sometimes we chase the red dot together! Momma calls it tag-teaming.
Sometimes I try to share her castle, but I’m too big-boy to fit there with her.
There’s more room on my big-boy shelf, so we share that. Sometimes, it’s nice.
Sometimes, maybe not so much.
After a while, I have to go some place that’s too little to share with her.
She gets in trouble a lot, and Poppa doesn’t get WAY mad at her ’cause she’s little and cute and likes him best. But he also says, “She’s a demon. Tipper is a pretty nice cat, really.” Momma told him that a long time ago! Tipper is an angel cat!
I’m so glad Chickie came to live with us! She’s fun, plus she’s naughty and shows how good I am!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Do you share?

September 15, 2018 at 9:22amHi Tipper. This is Maddie from No Facilities. I’m the star over there, even though my dad thinks people come to read his words & stuff.
I had to comment, because you’ve stumbled onto the best thing about other animals – they can make you look good by comparison. When I take my dad for a walk, if I see another dog, I usually bark. But, if I see a dog tugging at his/her leash and barking up a storm, I act real calm and mature. It makes me look so good. My dad says I’m a good girl, and the other dog gets into trouble. It’s the best!

September 15, 2018 at 10:03pmI’m so glad you and Chickie are getting along so well, Tipper, but…I also understand the need for some ‘me-time’. There really is such a thing as too much of a good thing. 😉
