Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what?
That raccoon cat is still hanging around. He hasn’t dug up Momma’s potatoes since Momma and #4 Sister scattered Jalapeno seeds around them, but he still goes back and forth from under the porch to the balcony of the old playhouse.
Meanwhile, inside, I’ve been working really hard to make Momma happy.
I heard her talking about magicians or musicians or somefing like that, and she said, “They play so beautifully!” So I got one of my meecies and played as beautiful as I could.
Momma likes it when I sleep on my paw. She always says, “Is that your favorite foot, Tipper? Is that foot your favorite one?” She’s so silly! I sleep on whatever foot is handy. Or footy.
She likes it when cats turn our heads upside down, and when we stretch out our toebeans, and when we show our bellies, and when we wave our tails, and when we curl our paws, so I did all of them at once. She did like it!
It’s hard work, making Momma happy these days, but it’s worth the hard work.

August 29, 2020 at 8:40amDoing all that cuteness at once was very clever, Tipper. And yes, being so cute does take it out of you. I hope you curled up with your Momma and helped her have a nap too. Golli likes doing that when I’m trying to type… 🙂

August 29, 2020 at 11:08amNeither of the cats are sleep-snugglers. I used to have snuggle-buddies, but not these two. I do miss it. But I’m happy for what I’ve got. 🙂

August 29, 2020 at 6:17pmCats are very much like people, imho, but they all find ways of expressing their affection, your two in particular! lol Actually, having said that I have to correct myself and say that dogs are individuals too. They’re all fur-people. 🙂

August 30, 2020 at 7:55amThey are, indeed. We used to have a dog who would greet us with, “Hewwo.” True story. The only time he made that sound was when he greeted us. He used the exact tones we used to say, “Hello,” when we greeted him.

August 30, 2020 at 8:50amI believe you! My boy Kushie didn’t talk but he could just about read my mind. He was far too smart for my good. 😉
