Savannah's Paw Tracks

Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Words or No Words…I am recovering

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Just a teeny intro to my semi-wordless Wednesday post.

I want to tell all of my furriends how far I have come in my recovery from being a completely traumatized adult shelter cat who had no trust for any human.

Look at me now, having gone through a move from the only  home I have known for 8 months to a new home.  I am confident, I have claimed almost every room for ME, ME, ME…heh…heh

And I am making use of the boxes as they empty them…all with trust in my Dad and Mom and knowing we are together and they will keep me safe and loved.

Just yesterday, I was so eager (VBP) to get to my dinner Mom was serving…I tried to take a short cut under my pal Nanuk’s belly (he is my plush Sibe pal I do morning perimeter patrol with)…and I was too big to go under him and he fell over on top of ME! Eight months ago I would have run UTB in terror…but yesterday, I just stepped aside so Mom could set him back up, and then I walked over, calmly, to my dinner.

Let’s hear some APAWS!  APAWS! And thank you all for reading my words on wordless Wednesday…

…boxes for ME!…

…OK, I know some of you look at detail…and yes, Dad said that is indeed a booze box…sigh…so embarrassing…

…what?…I’m just sitting here, minding my own business…OK?

…and sad but true…I had to perform for my dinner last night…

…Mom just can’t shut up and let me do my thing…no wonder I got nailed by Nanuk right after this performance…but I let her know just what I thought at the end, huh?!…the Global Cat Mark of Disdain…heh…heh…

Paw pats, Savannah

  1. I never had a doubt you would own your new place and without fear on top of it!
    You’re a strong Ladycat and I am so proud that you are my furriend!

  2. Apaws to you Savannah….it sounds like your Humans have done alot to win your trust & love!!! I remember when NYLABLUE came to me; she was aloof & skittish & didn’t respond much to anything…..we spent 8 months in my old place & then we moved into a new apartment. She then blossomed; not sure how or why….I figured the fact we moved together helped her to bond to me. We’ve been together 6+ years now & are pretty much inseperable….LOVE conquers all doesn’t it sweet girl?? Have a great weekend. Sherri-Ellen aka Nylabluesmum.

    Savvy, you sure look comfy and laid back to US! You’ve come a long way!

  4. Good for you Savannah for being so calm at your friend fall on you. That is terrific. You are becoming a formal feral kitty very quickly. Good job. Take care.

      thank you for your encouragement…but we don’t think I was ever feral…probably dumped and abused and stray for a while

  5. Hurray I am so so proud of you!!! xxx

  6. aww…kitty glad to see you all relaxed in your new home. Boxes are so much fun, bags too!

  7. We love the video!

    Okay, I am now officially in lubz wif your Mommy because she sounds just like Marge Gunderson in Fargo. She’s not secretly from Minnesota or somefing is she?

    You know what? If that giant stuffed dog had fallen on me, I’d be SO outta there there wouldn’t even BE a there! XOXOXO

  10. Attacked by a doggie and walked calmly to dinner? Wow, you HAVE recovered! Love the video! I notice that even though you showed her what you thought of her recording you, she still showed it! MOL

  14. Appaws! Brava!! *crude whistle* Let’s Go Savvy! Look at you in that box! That shows trust. You own the house and all its contents already. Dunno how I would react. If TW ever gets a job or Pop wins his lawsuit, she’d like to get a place with a catio so I can lay outside. Can’t believe you have to perform for supper. She deserved the back of disdain.

      ohhh come on CK!…you know I do it ‘cuz I like Mom…and I really, really hope TW can land a job soon, this is a really tough time for humans, and it is really hurting all of us companion animals as well. So many cats, dogs and others don’t have what you do CK…or what I have…we are the lucky ones. Sending positive purrrs your way, Savvy

  15. Savvie Davvy doo???? Honey, Cutie???? Your Mom really loves you, Savannah.

    And you know Nanuk would never hurt you. We are so glad you are doing so well.

      MOL! Mom does all that goo goo talk all the time, especially when she has that CLICK AND FLASH thingy in her paws

  16. I love to hear your mom’s voice!! :)))

    You so remind me of Austin when I first got him and how he gradually overcame his fears and foibles!! Five years on, he still has some, but so much more confident now :)) xx

    • Savannah's Paw Tracks's avatarSavannah's Paw Tracks on said:

      errrrrr…ummm…did we talk already about Austin doing a rescue interview with me…sounds like he has a story to tell…but maybe efurryone already knows it but me???

  17. Ha roo roo roo! Way to be, Savvy-davvy-doo!!!
    Play bows,
    Zim

  18. We’re really really happy to see how far along you’ve come! Great job, Savannah! And a big pat on the back for your Mommy and Daddy too. 🙂
    Love that video!

  21. Apaws for sure Savannah! Just look at you – not even a hint of “scaredy” in those eyes…..and you’re just plain enjoying all the exploring in the new place – boxes and all! You have come SOOOOOOOOOO far in such a SHORT time. We’re all very proud of you just as I know you are proud of yourself! :D:D:D

    Kitty Hugs and APAWS, Sammy
