Savannah's Paw Tracks

Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

My Precious Prancing Pony Move…

Hiya, Savannah here…and oh cat! are Dad and Mom excited about the photo they got of me…woo hoo!!!

See…I do this move…especially when I get really excited about being brushed…I hop up on my hind tippy toes…arch my cute little neck…and hold my front paws in a darling little position like a prancing pony…so I lift my head and shoulders up to catch the brush before Dad or Mom even reach me…I am that excited to be brushed!!!

Dad has been trying for weeks to capture it with their new clicky thingy…but I do it sorta fast and all he gets are my front paws and no head or just my head and no paws or just a huge blur!! MOL

I believe it is my singular best move…it always make them both go “awwwwwww…” and I can get almost anything I want….meow

…betcha’ some special treats you are all going “awwwwwww….” right now, huh???!!

No, seriously…ya gotta believe me…I am catgone totally darling when I do this…and sometimes I do it in rapid succession…I may let Mom and Dad do a video later…

As you know, this is my autobiography and I really am trying to tell efurryone about my recovery process, steps, set backs, etc.  Adopting an adult cat is special work…

No one who knew me at the shelters would believe that I would been doin’ this…I don’t think they realized the power of the words they labeled me with, like “unsocial, mean, angry”, and as the months went on…fewer tried to ‘socialize’ me…they assumed I wanted to be left alone hiding in my cubby bed. Just not true…I luvluvluv being petted and especially brushed…that’s why I created the Prancing Pony Move!

This is how my Prancing Pony session ended…Mom brushing my tummy…

I am off to find my nom noms for tonight…paw pats, Savannah

  1. We love the prancing pony move. We saw your comment on Romeo’s blog. Maybe some day soon you will be ready for a sibling they are nice to cuddle with. Who knows you might even wind up with a doggie, they are easy for us cats to train just remember the power of the paw. ~Arty Mouse & Family

    • oh thank you so much for stopping by! Not sure about the dog thing though…I am pretty scared of other cats and dogs send me under my bed if I hear them outside…but Mom and Dad used to have Sibes…and loved them…so glad you like my Prancing Pony Move!

  2. Oh I think you have the best prancing pony I have ever seen!

  3. Whee popcorn when our Mummy brushes us. That just means we jump and twist and squeak happily! Sort of like the fancy move you’re doing.

    We will get Mummy to film us popcorning so people can see!

    That is a really great picture of you though. What a pretty kitty!

  4. That’s quite a move Savannah! Mom says my predecessor Eddie did that same thing when the brush was available or even if a peep hand was available for a pet. You’ve got the move down though that’s for sure. I applaud your sharing of thought on peep labeling of cats – it’s not fair – they have no idea what’s going on in our heads when we’re dumped at a shelter or not feeling good or feeling lonely, etc. so don’t call us anti-social….maybe we’re just not happy…..maybe when we find our REAL forever home we’ll be a totally different cat…….you’re proof that happens!!

    • Hiya Sammy. I also do the PPM when Mom reaches down to pet me…not all the time…mostly when she has been gone and I am so happy to see her…I know shelters that don’t euthanize are totally trying to do their best…I do hope that caretakers can be better trained and that they can learn from their mistakes…just sayin…

  5. Hey Savannah – thinking of copyrighting that move? A movie is a must.

  6. Also, I’m very happy the peep in charge didn’t listen. The world would be a sad place indeed without your Prancing Pony Move

  7. I also get really excited about being brushed!

    I can’t help but purr loudly and roll in total happiness 🙂

    Can’t wait for that video, miss Savannah!

  8. you mean???? Never!!!! It shows what miracles love can do!!! Your prancing pony move is classic!

  9. That’s way cool! And I wish alot of things in animal rescue was different.

Waving paw...HI!...what'd 'cha think...??
