HELLO! My name is CHICKIE!

It’s hard to believe, but Mommy doesn’t pay attention to me every minute of the day. I’m not even lying!

Sometimes she works in the office, and I have to wander around and around her chair and stare up at her.

Then, when she reaches down to pet me, I walk to the other side of her chair. Sometimes she brushes the tip of my tail, and sometimes she gets in a little head scritch.

So the other day, she said, “I’m tired of this. You want pets or not?” Then she picked me up and put me on her lap. I guess it wasn’t so bad, although she didn’t seem to like it much.

I like it better when I can settle down somewhere and she just gives me a quick pat in passing.

Our #4 Hooman Sister calls me “Whatanasshole.” I think that’s foreign for “Heavenly Beauty.” Right?
