SIPPY the CAT: Station Cat

We also wanted to add a picture of a station cat..."SIPPY." She's been at WSIP since 2005. Sippy likes to lounge around the station and eat cream cheese from a spoon. Here favorite past-time is to lay around on anybody's desk and knock their papers off their desk. She's loves to play, but only for short periods as she gets winded and bored easy. Sippy loves to take long "cat naps" throughout the day and look out who window bed whenever possible.
