Hi, there! I’m Tipper Allen, and guess what! Chickie and I still don’t like Adi, but I guess we’re used to her now.

Momma was away for a whole week, and we all missed her a lot. #1 Hooman Sister checked on us every day and petteded us, but we were mostly alone, with no Momma to be jealous over, so we sort of got used to each other a little bit.

When Momma got back, I did something I never did before, and prolly won’t ever do again: I curled up between the Momma pillow and the Poppa pillow and the Poppa shirt that Momma sleeps with and snuggled against Momma’s arm and purred and purred. As soon as she moved a tiny little bit, I ran away, because I’m a big tough man cat and not a snuggle baby.

Chickie: What about yesterday morning? What about on the couch?

That’s different! I always snuggle on the couch, and what I did this morning is something I’ve been doing since I was just little, so that doesn’t count! This morning, I jumped into Momma’s lap in the office chair and turned over on my back for pets.

I keep biting pieces off my window seat cushion, even though Momma says bad things happen to animals who foam at the mouth.

So she took the foam away and put a towel on there, instead. With the fleecy cover, you can’t tell the difference. It feels different, though, but a window seat is a window seat.

Chickie started sitting on her fuzzy tower again, so now Momma can’t use it as a footrest. I told her to get off, but she sassed me!

So then we had to box!

I finally chased her off, and we had a good tussle and chase, just like old times!

I guess Adi can stay with us, even though Momma pets her more than we want her to.

A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: Do you do anything you’ve been doing since you were only just little? Eating and sleeping and stuff doesn’t count.
