Savannah's Paw Tracks

Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Monday Meowsie News

Hiya, Savannah Here!

It has been a really bizzzy, bizzzy week…whew…I needed my Sacked Out Sunday, I tell ya!

So you know now that some of my recent progress in my recovery has been that:

1) I now wake up Dad at 5:50AM with meows and throwing myself against him for some pets…and to make sure he knows I am up and ready for brekkies.

2) I either follow right behind Dad going to the kitchen OR I wait until he calls me…I never used to do that AT ALL…just started consistently this past week…pretty cool, huh?

3) I scoped out Mom ‘s lap, 3 days now…just thinkin’ about it…more about this at the end of ths post…wait for it, wait for, wait for it…(you are gonna like it, I promise…)

4) At last, I am starting to stay in my office bed in the window while Mom types up my notes for my blog…(‘course I am asleep, and usually when I wake up, I leave…but..progress)

5) I played with Mom in a room other than our bedroom…I played with her this morning in the living room…we played with my Three Tunnels…

That’s my Monday Meowsie News about my recovery progress…now here’s some pretty cool stuff about one of my newest toys…a crinkly bag…

Mom put it on the bed with me…and I thought…”what?…on the bed?”…and I was suspicious…

…then it made a noise! OH! something must be in it…so I slid my paws inside to check it out…still keeping watch in case something was trying to get me from outside the bag…

…WHAT?!  DID I HEAR SOMETHING??? On the deck??…

…no, no…hmmmm…over by the bedroom door????…what is that???…

…Holy CAT!!…IT WAS INSIDE THE BAG AFTER ALL!!!…rams paws inside to snag it…

…uummmmpppff…cant’ quite reach it…push, struggle…sttttrrreeetttccchhhh…almost….

…WHOA! tried to sneak past me on the side…quick shoulder roll to the side to keep it from getting out…

…GONE!!!…hmmmm…what was making all that noise?….Mom has the Black Feather Toy in her hand…nawwww…couldn’t have been her….hmmmmmm

That was my first session with the Paper Bag thingy…it’s nice…but a good ole’ brown paper bag is better…mostly ‘cuz it’s bigger!

NOW…again with the drum roll…boom boom boom and tappity tap tap…

I GOT ON MOM’S LAP…NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE…BUT 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!…’COURSE I ONLY LASTED 2 SECONDS THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES…BUT LAST NIGHT I HUNG ON HER LAP FOR 10 SECONDS!!!

I even tried to sniff the afghan on her lap, but I got too nervous…and hopped down…gonna give it another try tonight…WOO HOOO

PAW PATS, Savannah!!

    Yay auntie Savvy!

    oh, oh, oh, that bag is pwetty. Can little Satchie pway with it? Little Satchie likes how bright is. Little Satchie also likes noisy thingies. Mommy gave me a few toys big bwother didn’t like because of the noise. Jay doesn’t like noisy toys but little Satchie does! So I’m happy =^.^=

  3. MOWZERS – TEN whole seconds!! You need to go in for the LAP kitty Olympics! Seriously – for skeered kittehs overcoming their fears, we bet you’d be a Contendah!!

  4. Oh Savannah, you can do it.

    Three times in a lap was a wonderful gift to your mom for all her hard work blogging for you.. I know she totally appreciated it (because my Eli got on me on his own for the first time in his 10 year life)

  5. This is ALL fantastic news! You know, Mommy whistles when she dishes out our foods, and we all come running. We all do it, we learned from each other what the whistle means. Mommy says it’s handy when she needs to do a quick head count, or find a kitty who’s hiding!

  6. Wow, Savannah! You’re doing really well.

  7. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew you’d slowly get to know the joys of afghan covered laps Savannah……just keep taking those baby steps and you’ll one day be on Mom’s lap for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time snoozin’ away!

    Good for you………
    Kitty Hugs, Sammy

    My sweet Savannah, You is making eggssellent progress! The Human is looking at me like, What’s WRONG wif you Spitty???

    I was a feral kitten. I am EIGHT years old now, and have never willingly trod on her lap. Now, I will STAY there for awhile if she puts me there–as long as she iz brushing me, but if she stops, BAM–I’m outta there.

    I never used to sleep with her, but recently she has seen me lurking there on the bed when she has awakened during the night. If she sees me, I hop down though. I like SECRET bed-sitting, MOL!

    So slow down. You’re giving me a bad name.

    • awww Spitty…I had now idea…I am 5 years old…I have been here for 7 months now.I don’t remember what kind’a life I had before the two shelters where I spent over a year. I have always slept with Mom and Dad…’course I keep closest to Mom, but am starting to let Dad have a snuggle now and then…Spitty, we always have time…you just keep trying…paw pats, Savvy

  12. I think it’s cool you do it before you realize what you’re doing…. I hope you eventually settle down and have a cuddle on Mom’s lap.

  13. Savannah we LOVE your progress! you have also now realized that you are a “blogging kitty” and you MUST snoopervise your Mom in YOUR office AT ALL TIMES!

  14. You are doing so good Savannah! The noise you heard was all of us cheering you on!

  15. Great news Savannah! Pretty soon, you will totally own that lap!

    Hi, Savannah. Yay! I am so glad you are making such great progress towards spending time in Mom’s lap. Laps are so nice.

  17. You’ll get there Savannah! You’re doing better every day.

    Kelly wants to tell you that she’s making some progress in getting used to all those black cats (after five years). Saturday night she slept in the studio cuddling on top of a box with Mimi–they were still there in the morning. And last night she came in my room, walked all around then got on the bed! She stood on me for a while, settled down for a nap, then curled up next to me, later on the other pillow! It’s been years since Kelly slept with me, and I am so proud of her!

    And you! See, you girls are very brave!
