HELLO! My name is CHICKIE!
Adi is getting too big for her kitten britches. She used to just hack up hairballs back in the corner where nobody could see, but now she hacks everywhere almost! And Mommy doesn’t get mad at her! Of course Mommy doesn’t get mad at ME, but I only barf when I eat too fast or drink too much water or get too excited or get mad. But hairballs are gross! The other day, Adi hacked up a hairball inna RAIN ROOM!
Tipper: It’s a shower stall.
IS A RAIN ROOM! IT RAINS IN THERE!
And Adi keeps sneaking into bed next to Mommy. She used to do it late at night, but now she does it when Mommy is awake so Mommy pets her! It’s really hard for me to be cuter than I already am, so I have to work at it to distract Mommy’s attention!

But I’m with Mommy more than Adi is, so there. I took over Adi’s place onna couch next to where Mommy sits.

I watch shows with Mommy and nobody else does that hardly ever very much.

I do everything I can to get Mommy to go to bed when it’s time. Sometimes I have to do something to get #4 Hooman Sister to unnerstan how important it is. Like the other night, she said, “It must be time to brush your teeth: Chickie is about to drink out of your straw! I better go and let you get to it.”
Yes, I WOULD HAVE if that was what it took to get #4 Hooman Sister’s attention!

It’s hard work, being a Chickie!
A WRITING PROMPT FOR ANIMALS: How do you get attention?

I was honored, unless I wanted it first.

September 6, 2026 at 10:49pmYour cuteness factor is off the scale Chickie, so don’t ever worry that your Mum won’t love you. And please tell your Mum that I love hearing about your lives, especially now that my last Beloved Kitty has gone. Huge hugs from me and the dog. 🙂
