Hi everyone! Did you miss me? My mean mom keeps pushing me off for silly things like reviews and Halloween.
My tip today is to use a penny to replace a missing checker. My folks have this apple checker board and the apples are fun to roll around so they do need to use this tip sometimes. I thinks they should give me all the apples to play with and they can use pennies.
Penny, how clever!
Thank you π
Penny, that is a great tip about how to use, um, pennies! π
Hugs!
Thank you. XO
Wow, you’re lucky. Mom mom never lets me play with coins.
She won’t let me have the apples though π
Those apples DO look like fun to bat around. TBT asks: Have you considered adhesive magnetic strips under the board and spray-painted red and black streel washers that would be held lightly in place?
That is a good idea, but I am too lazy to do that. I usually keep it safe in the dining room so the cats can’t get it π
Iβm amazed that you have any apples left! They look just the right size to bat around or carry away. If we had the set, all the apples would be under a couch somewhere or in the back yard with teethmarks in them! Good job hanging on to those, and for the tip to use a penny while one is missing!
Thank you π
Yeah, those apples aren’t checker pieces – they’re cat toys! You are right, they should just use pennies.
Glad you agree Summer π
Great tip, Penny! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you π

We agree with you Penny.
Those apple things look like they would be a lot of fun π

Thank you π
WOW…..it’s amazing those apples are still on that checker board! Nice round, rolly polly things like those? Tempting!
Hugs, Teddy
They are very tempting.XO
Hmmm, you couldn’t have nothing but pennies, you’d get mixed up with whose pieces were whose. If you lost all the pieces, i guess you could use pennies for one side and nickels for the other, tails up until you need to be “kinged” and then you could flip it heads side up.
Using a penny to sub for a piece is a great tip!
Good point, they can use pennies and nickels and give me the apples π
You are so right – you would have a great time with all those apples to chase.
I sure would π
Those apples look like lots of fun, Penny. We hope your mom and dad have plenty of pennies around, because those apples are destined to be batted away. Purrs!
They are fun π
Well, of course you should have all the apples to play with! That is a great tip about the penny. And yes, you were missed!
Thank you. π
Those apples sure look like such good fun Penny. Pennies are a great idea. You all have such a good day.
Thank you π I hope you had a good day too.
Oh, Penny! I think your tip is great and your humans should pay better attention to what you have to say!! Love and purrs, Toby ?
Thank you my sweet boyfriend. Love and purrs to you too!
That’s too funny. And clever. Be well!
Thank you. Be well too!
Hi Penny! What a imaginative idea, especially since that game is clearly a multi-piece toy for cats!
Thank you, it is π
Thank you π
You’re adorable. Yes indeed and I like your idea about you having the apples.
Have a purrfect day. My best to your peeps. β₯
Thank you. My peeps send their best.
If I was you I would prefer cat nips then apples ! After the game the winner can eat them all !
Good thinking π
We think that apple checker board is pretty cool! Perhaps your mom should get you a catnip apple instead. That’s much more fun.
Thank you. That is a good idea, we have a banana.
That makes a lot of cents beautiful Penny!
MOL! π
Great tip Penny!
Hugs Madi
Thank you. XO
Penny, I haven’t played a game of checkers in, like, a bazillion years! I play lots of solitaire (on my phone), crosswords (in the newspaper), and sudoku (I almost never solve them!). Oh, and jigsaw puzzles…online, of course!
Sudoku are really hard, I can’t even do the easy ones.
That is a great tip. And what an adorable checker board!
Thank you π
What a cute checker board! And those apples are so cute! They sure look fun to roll around. You should get them in exchange for pennies π
Thank you π I wish I could keep the apples.
One of the banes of those of us who love board games … missing pieces. Love the tip, Penny … such a great idea! We also loved seeing the full body shot of your gorgeous tortie furs.
Thank you π
Penny! You have come up with the perfect solution. Hide…err I mean put away the apples and slide a few pennies over as a hint. I think they may be able to take the hint and forget about the apples.
I wish π XO
That’s a great idea and now I want to play checkers. It has been years since the last time I played.
It is fun, but I always lose when I play with my hubby.
penny; tell yur mom ta ree place thoz apples with 50’s and 100’s… then she can haz de apples bak N ewe can keep de 50’s N 100’s !! π β₯β₯
this izza grate tip bye de way ~
That is a good idea π XO
That is a very good tip, Penny.
Thank you π
Never saw a checkerboard like that one before. I like the apples the best, but getting one to sit on top of the other looks tricky!
Thank you. The apples have little holes in the bottom for the stem to go through when you king someone. π
That is a great tip, Penny – and a very neat checkerboard !
Thank you π
Penny, I did miss you, and your tips, too! Maybe you could give us tips on playing checkers. I can’t remember how and I used to love it! XO
I am sure you would remember right away. XO
Those apples wouldn’t stand a chance around here. They’d be off that board in no time!
Same here so mom hides it in the dining room.
BabyG said those sure look like cat toys to her!
I agree π
Those apples look like some fun toys, Penny!!
They are π
We’d play with the apples, too!
They are fun π

Thank you. XO
That is a very cool checkers board!
Thank you π
Those apples reminded petcretary of some little ‘tops’ she had and wow, they would spin…and if yours could spin, they would go on the floor where they are prey for whomevfur can catch them…and then your wish for more pennies as checkers would work! MOL! Penny, you are brilliant like a shiny new penny!!
I have a little top similar to these too, it is orange and I gave it to the cats to play with. Penny thanks you. XO
