When Scout first came here, I wasn’t sure I liked her. (and to be honest, I’m still not sure on some days.) But most days we have fun. We both like playing with the kittens, especially Chip. Chip has been  my best friend since I first came here, because we were both new at the same time.  We grew up together…. and I’m glad that Scout and Chip get along together too.

Chip usually stays outside, because he likes chasing the squirrels and catching moles.  But this morning he came inside when Mom took us out for our walk.  Then when Mom started working, we all laid down on my blanket and played.

Some people think it’s silly for cats and dogs to get along, but we don’t care. Scout and I love Chip- and he loves us.  He lets us lick and chew on his ears without getting mad, and we let him grab our legs with his claws without getting mad.

Mom says that folks could learn a lot from us about getting along.  She says sometimes folks get mad at other people when they don’t agree.

That sounds kinda weird to me- I mean, how much fun would it be if we were all just alike? If all the cats were just like Chip, how could we recognize him when we see him?  We might start chewing on a strange cat’s ears and then he would get mad at us.  And  oh my goodness- if everyone were just like Scout, I don’t know if I could handle it.  It’s tough enough having one sister that takes my blanket and my cookies and my ball…. whew, it’s a tough life.

Mom says we just need to remember what the Bible says:

I Corinthians 13:
