Tippy
Tippy loves to be the center of attention. Whenever she enters a room, she meows once to announce her presence.

oooh how adorable and fluffy.Love the curled up back feets.
One of my cats actually meows when anyone sneezes, as if to say “bless you!”.
My cat Chloe does the same thing. She could be sleeping comfortably in another room, but if I sneeze she comes running and meows desperately at me, like saying “Are you okay?” It’s sweet.
I have a very loud sneeze and when I sneeze my lab barks and my Sweet Pea meows at me reproachfully and moves.Maybe I should see a Dr
She is a really beautiful kitty, soft ball of fur…..
Very cozy in this picture, I smiled when I saw it!!!!
Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
Why that is nothing but a fat furrball!!! I just want to snuggle my face on that belly!!
I luuurve fluffy kitties!
My Kingston likes to sit in front of the computer too, so I can’t see the monitor or use the keyboard, so I have to give him pats or some treats. I can see Tippy doing just that when she gets older!
My Aeryn is always sitting in front of my computer monitor. That is why im currently at the school computers doing my take home test. im nearly done and just taking a small brake 🙂
I wish my computer came with an accessory like that! I’ll bet she is the best little office helper. Love the sweet face and general fluffiness of her being.
Dee from Tampa will probably have more detailed and better information – but I learned from my calendar “365 Kittens a Year” that cats have a number of meows – one of which is specifically a greeting. And what’s more, cats meow to humans – they purr to one another and hiss but they don’t meow – so I think.
There’s more than that. “Me” is a friendly voice, and “Meow” is more aggressive, but “Ow” is back off! But I beg to differ about purrs, unless I am an official cat, my bug purs at me all the time!
My statement was ambiguous – I did not mean that cats meow only to people but only purr to other cats. Thank goodness they purr to us – it’s one of the truly wonderful gifts of cat contact. Thank you for your comment.
Good, I was beginning to wonder! I have used to work for this vet as a receptionist once and they had this cat that was having IV treatments for an illness I don’t remember, but it would hiss and spit at the techs as they went past the cage. So I went over and “Me-ed” to it softly and it “Me-ed” softly back and came to the front to have his head scratched. The techs looked at me and I just replied, “You just have to know how to speek cat!”
It is said that cats trill, purr and hiss to each other in the wild. Meowing (NOT the caterwauling when looking for a mate or preparing for a fight) is developed by interactions with humans. They learn to talk to us. If you have more than one fuzzbutt, notice that their meows are NOT directed to each other, just to us. At least that is my experience with my 8 fuzzies. The moms do “talk” to their kittens, however, with trills and purr-growls.
One of my 15 week old kittens, who is very vocal, talks to me all the time. He it’s kind of funny but I know what he want by the way he meows. He has one for where is everybody I need attention, one for the food bowl is empty and he even tells you when the water is empty if you let it get that way.
Doesn’t he have me trained?
Don’t they all. We ARE OWNED by our cats! My Freddy has a special meow-croak he uses to let me know when it’s time for a treat. He just started doing this in the last 6 months and he’s 5-years-old. He was never much of a talker before, but when the treats are slow in coming…well…he felt he needed to make a statement and let me know how he feels about “treats”…. Have you heard of Hugs and Kisses cat treats? They are my fuzzbutts’ favorites…you can find them online…
AWWW!It’s so cute! I’m a big fan of this site, I’m 11 and I’m typing this from school! WHOOOOOOO! w00t!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the site but don’t neglect your work. I’ll tell you the same as my own children; work hard in school now and be able to take it easy for the rest of your life, or take it easy now and you’ll work hard for the rest of your life!

How wonderful that she announces her presence! Daisy sometimes walks into the lounge and throws herself onto her side on the floor, right in the middle of the room. She is officially making herself available for stroking. If nobody takes any notice within 30 seconds she is mightily offended. (And of course if she doesn’t want to be stroked she has ways of avoiding us and making it plain.) Even when she was a tiny kitten, she took breaks from being a pet – if approached during these times, she would fix me with a look which plainly said, “Do you mind? I’m on my lunch break” – ! I never before had a cat who took time off.
Notice there’s no mouse by the computer. Did Tippy do her job too well?
Oh man, cuteness overload!
I love that little orange tip on the tail!! As for computer accessories, if you have mice you know you’re cat won’t be far away! What a beautiful fluffy love she is, you’re a one.
She’s not just announcing she’s there, she’s telling you the party can start now!
Tippy take a message Please move to my house. You can have full access to the puter, mouse and anything else you want. OMG you are so fluffalicous.
Okay, what’s going on with the comments? It didn’t post because of some error so I reposted and BOTH showed up!! Wierd. There’s a kitty loose in the works here!
More like a derranged mouse don’t blame a little kitty. I’ve had the same problem I thought it was just me Ms. Fumblefingers.
Tippy…are you a maine coon or a main coon wannabe? She looks like some of my patched torbie kittens when they were little. Someone dipped her little tail in orange! She is so fluffy and cute…having kitten withdrawals….shaking, trembling fingers…must have fluff…help!
I was thinking Maine Coon or Wedgie (Norweigan Forrest Cat). I have a female Wedgie that looks a lot like her. Sweetie Fuzz!
Fluffylicious Fuzz
Oh look, a dust mop, and it showed up by the computer. My computer needs dusting, can I get a dust mop that looks like that furry mop?
Cute overload…cute overload….! She is PRECIOUS!
Hi Tippy, aren’t you cute helping out your human by decorating the computer desk.
Who could possibly get any work done with *her* on the desk??…Or even *want* to! She’s adorable – take care of her!
10%? 20% Forget it! THAT’s the kind of Tip I wouldn’t mind working for!
“Secretary! Take a memo: Buy a new dust mop. This one doesn’t seem to be working…at ALL”
Tippy is outrageously precious! Right down to her pink little toes. How very kissable!
Isn’t Tippy the cutest thing? Love the fur and the mischevious look in her eyes. Give her a belly rub for me. BTW, anyone heard from Dee? Hope all is well. Miss her stories.
Lynn in Pa, yes Tippy is so cute. I agree. We all miss Dee. Hope she is ok. Here is something I found funny, maybe it will sorta make up for Dee not being here.
Twas the Night of Thanksgiving
‘Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned–the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!!
I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees..
Happy eating to all! (Pass the cranberries, please)
I know this was a little long but I hope it gives everyone a chuckle. It gave me one.
Renee, what a hoot!! You have done a good job filling in with this story in place of Dee. Thank you so much for the chuckle. Thanks again. Keep them coming. We all could use a funny story each day!
Lynn, I’m glad you liked it. It feels good to make someone laugh or smile. I’ll try to find something else, soon.
Tipsu a few days ago, Tippy today….it seems the kitties are tipping over!
Likes to make a Big Entrance FUZZ
“These post-it notes are MINE!” FUZZ
ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!
Hey Dee, you lurking out there? Haven’t seen you post in a couple of days. Miss you!
Evangeline, I just went back to yesterdays board and read about Boo. I am sorry for your loss of your friend last year and now her dog. Still sending you positive healing thoughts. Hubby comes home from Montreal tomorrow night. Hopefully with one or two surprises for me! Kittys will be disappointed to have to relinquish his half of the bed though!
Thanks again ppearson, you are very kind.
Lovely little fuzzbutt.Great colors and markings. Love the expression on her little face and oh those curled paws!
Of course she must announce her entrance so that all may bow down to the queen! And who wouldn’t, she’s adorable. And those touches of orange on her gray fur are so very cute.
Tippy is very cute, and I see she is computer literate.
Tippy is a darling! I see she is another cat that utilizes kitty sonar.
this cat is so cute. where did u find him? he is adorable
Post-It Fuzz!
Tippy is so cute! lol I love keyboard fuzz! (except when im trying to do my homework lol)
well actualy i still love keyboard fuzz when im trying to do my homework. Its just if i put Aeryn on the floor instead of in front of the screen she attacks my toes.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
How cute!!
My cat does the same. He even sits on my books T_T
Fuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzilicius
Tippy is so precious! She can leave me a post-it note anytime. She looks as though she would enjoy a good snuggle. I would love to oblige! She is putting up a post-it saying, “Please, give me a hug!”
If you wanna use the computer, you’ll have to come through me first. Ack, that belly is crying out for scratching, but you know if you do, she’ll get your hand. What a dollface sweetie!
How precious can she get? Her name certainly is appropriate.
What a CUTE kittin! Does she butt you hand to get petted?
She looks just like my brother’s cat, who’s named Saphire. Her hair is so long we nicknamed her ‘bushy hips.’
Tippy certainly is beautiful and she looks so sweet and cuddly too.
I bet she LOVES to snuggle at night! Does she knead your hair? That’s what mine does! 😡
Is this adorable new post-it notes holder available at Staples? Tippy is sure to be big help while you are on the computer. But she is so cute, you obviously can’t mind.
That is some royal fluffitude! LOL
You are soooooooooooooooo CUUUUUUUUTE! I could just eat you!
What a precious little baby! I love the pink nose and the orange tail tip! And she’s right where cats wanna be–right in front of where YOU need to be! My cats crowd the computer all the time.
Love that little darling always!
I used to know someone who named their cat Visa because she was ‘everywhere you want to be’ 🙂
That is a hoot and a half!
Oh, Kitten Master–the site is randomly losing comments again when people try to post! Think the kittens have gotten in and messed with the settings?
It’s not a problem I’ve seen myself, but I’ll get my crack team of computer scientists to look into it.
Too cute!
She is just the cutest littte thing!
~Tip of the Iceberg Fuzz~
Tippy looks and sounds like a Maine Coon. We have one who looked a lot like her when young. Maine Coon’s can get very vocal as they get older. Our “Rocky” has many different meows for various things. He’s neutered, but he still gets frisky somehow and has the neatest trill/meow that he uses when he tries to get some tail. Our girl kitties just look at him like, “dude, you’re neutered.”
Office Assistant FUZZ
Mmmmmmmm, fluuuuuuuuffff.
What a sweet kitten Tippy is!!! She reminds of my kitten, Tabbitha. Tabbitha thinks that every time I’m on the computer, she has to come up on the desk and rub her fluffy tail all over the moniter!
Such a sweet and fluffy little baby! May the Lord bless you and dear little Tippy always. 🙂
That is the cutest kitten I have ever seen in my life. I will pay you $1,000 dollars for this kitten/cat/feline. This kitten is helping me through a really rough time, thanks Tippy. This kitty is the cutest little SB (I guess son of a feline is more accurate) I have ever seen.
too cute tippy! i know two siamese who meow to each other. monty does this weird caterwall when he’s looking for marti. marti comes running and meows back. in typical siamese fashion of course. 😉
Tippy looks just like my Calie when she was little, she is now 3 years old but she stayed pretty small, half the size of my Tux and 4 times as fluffy!
awwwwww….she’s so little and sweet looking! my big cats still like to get in front of the computer like that…LOL
Instructions; 1.Push button on front of tower to turn on the power. 2 Turn on switch on monitor and switch on modem. 3 Pick up keyboard and blow hard across the keys to free cat hair from between them. 4. Pet cats and give them a treat so they will allow you to go see the new baby on TDK.
Tippy, You are the cuttie, fattie, sweetie, baby, fuzzbutt ruler of the desk. Someday you will be a fine pillow for my head!
Oh man, that is a little CUTIE!!!! What a sweet baby! So adorable. She’s like, “Oh maybe my owner will think I’m a keyboard or a post-it and I’ll get some pets.”
Oh how precious!! Little fuzzt-wuzzy bundle of cuteness!! My cat got his name… Mr. Mouse for the very reason pictured here. His favorite place to be is my mouse pad (I guess cause it smells like me) and even though he’s 3 years old, he still sleeps there.
He’s a cute fur ball ! I had a cat name ” Tippy” when I was a child,he stayed with me for 14 year’s ,he was a striped tomcat, he had a wonderful life.
Simply beautiful! 🙂
Oh yes she has my attention! That coat, built just for winter.
warm snuggly Fuzz!
I have two furkids… no longer kittens but full grown Critters
Now Tippy is what I call a ball o’ fluff! She looks like cotton candy!
Sorry…can’t resist this: What an adorable mousepad! Ciao!
What a snooshy mooshy cotton belly! Kittens like this force me to use such (non) words. Love that Tippy, what a cute little name too.
HOW BEAUTIFUL!! 🙂
