HELLO! My name is CHICKIE!
Tipper and I played a good trick on Mommy. Tipper hid behind the bookcase. I got Mommy to look at me, then I went behind the bookcase and Tipper came out from the other side. Mommy said, “What? I thought I had two cats, but I only have one?” We flopped on the floor and laughed and laughed!
Then I played another trick. Mommy was sitting up in bed, reading, and I got on the Chickie Blanket, like always, and I did like I was put together wrong, like this:
Mommy said, “I’m going to have to take you into the shop and have you recalibrated.”
She opened a new bag of tweets and put them in the tweet jar with the screw-on top that she keeps in a drawer. I don’t know why she won’t let me just help myself anymore. But she always gives me the empty tweet bag to play with. I wanted to say thank you, so she came to bed and found this:
She was so happy, she laughed!
Sometimes it’s boring being a cat, so sometimes I play like the couch is a wild buffamo or something, and I have to hang on for dear nine lives!
Now I have to go think up some more tricks to make Mommy laugh! Today would have been Poppy’s birfday, and she’s kind of sad. But I bet you a Temptations chicken tweet Tipper and I make her laugh.
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Do you play tricks on your hooman? Think of one right now!

September 18, 2021 at 8:17amI loved that bookcase trick, Chickie. I bet your Mum did a double take. Now, I have to entrust you with a special job…can you give your Mum a big hug from me, Golli, Harry and Mogi please? Birthdays are very special. Oh and give yourself a hug too. And one for Tipper, if he’ll let you. š

September 18, 2021 at 2:03pmWish I could do this in person: gentle hugs. Many happy memories. Not the same, but a whole heck of a lot better than nothing.

October 29, 2021 at 10:34amOh my goodness, I had no idea cats need calibrated and Cletus is definitely overdue for a fine-tuning! LOL “Yipee-ki-yay, mummerfummer.” LOL
Great post! I hope they made you laugh because you made me laugh.
PS: I used to have that book blanket. I wonder why I don’t have it now. SIL got the astrology one and I got the book one (as gifts from MIL back in the day) and now Sassy has SIL’s astrology blanket but I don’t remember giving away my book one… I may never know.

October 29, 2021 at 10:38amOne of the kids gave the book blanket to Charlie, which was appropriate. The cats make me laugh all the time! I don’t know what I’d do without them. š
