A Princess in Her Castle
HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
Some might say I am spoiled. Others might say I am privileged. And even more might say I am royalty. I prefer to go with the last perception.
I am, HRH Savannah, the Princess of my Castle. I don’t think I need say more, right??? (be sure to hover over photos to view complete captions, paw pats, S)
Yes, I most always have my dinner served in the living room. The Kid Sage simply cannot keep her jaws off my dinner.
And who would deny a royal Princess her well deserved scritches, occasional tummy rubs and whatnot?
And Mom L always makes sure my scratcher is fully loaded with my fave nip…then I can just zone, zen out…..ahhh…
My life has not always been that of a Princess. Many of you have seen this photo before. And you will see it again as I continue to journal, here on my blog, about my recovery from kittenhood trauma. I am a survivor; but only just barely. This is my intake photo at the local kill shelter where I was dropped by humans who did not leave any information as to whether or not I was feral; stray or just an abandoned, no longer wanted house cat.
I believe I have earned the right to my royal castle. And Mom L and Dad P could not agree more. They will forever protect me and even if that means making sure I have my own time and space to have my meals free from worry about whether or not The Kid Sage will take away my food.
I am HRH Princess Savannah; I am safe

You ARE a princess, and thus you should be treated as such 😉
oh gosh, *blushes* thank you
You are a beautiful princess sweet Savannah. We sure like your food bowl we have not seen one like that. All of these pictures are amazing. The one with you on your back and your toes curled is adorable. This post gave me great smiles. Hugs and nose kisses
You’re worth of being treating like a princess, Savvy ! Purrs
Oh! My darling! You look mah-vel-lous!!! That picture of you on your back with your royal pawsies curled *just so* is makin’ me all fainty! Whew. I need to lie down. XOXOXOXO
You ARE the princess of your castle, Savvy. You deserve all the love and happiness you now have with Mom Linda, Dad Peter, and even TKS. Hugs!
Savvy, thought you didn’t like the nip. Love that pic of you with the pawsome nip caption. You deserve all the perks of a loving home, BFGF. xoxo
You know CK, my BFGF, I have to tell you that there is only one type of nip I respond to and Mom L keeps it on hand when she thinks I need a good ole’ ‘high’…heh…heh
I am glad you are treated as you should be. Please visit us for a giveaway.
You are so kind to support me; purrrs
You deserve all your privileges Savannah.
You are truly a gentlecat to say that Flynn; purrrs
Savvy, you have come a long way, and you deserve every bit of worship you get!
oh my, you are all too kind to say such a thing…but thank you so much
Savvy, we think you are spoiled, privileged AND royalty. And there’s nothing wrong with that. You deserve it.
You three would be the ones to know for sure; thanks a ton!
You are a spoiled rotten privileged kitty BOL
Lily & Edward
I bet you two know ‘nothing’ about being privileged…right?
savvy… I know royalty when I see it, no question you are INDEED descended from royalty…hugs girl from dai$y, queen of cats; royalty of trout towne =^..*= ♥♥♥
Ohhhh…*gushing* Queen of Cats Dai$y…you came to visit ‘me’…thank you ever so much. And only royalty such as yourself could recognize my own
Oh Savannah – you ARE spoiled AND privileged AND royalty – but there is nothing wrong with any of that because it all adds up to being LOVED!!!
Woos – Ciara and Lightning
you are so right; leave it to my Sibe pals to know this
Savvy we are glad you get your happy ending. We purr all will get the same happy endings we all got.
Emma and Buster
oh gosh let’s all purr like crazy to Ceiling Cat that all cats without a loving safe home get one ASAP!
That is how Royalty should be treated!
Well, you, Brian and your sisters should know…heh…heh
You aren’t spoiled, you are WELL LOVED and it is MUCH DESERVED!
*blushes* thank you Cody and Miss Caren and Dakota. You are too kind
We are sure a good sharp whap round the ears ought to stop Sage from trying to steal your food Savvy.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
I wish I would do that; I smacky paw her when she tried to get up on top of me when I am on my big bed with Mom but not when she hovers over me at my food dish
You found the best place ever Savannah…. I say thank you to your humans for all the patience and the love, I bet it was karma that you found your mom L. and your dad P… and now you are safe and all bad things and dark clouds are far away.
I so wish all those dark clouds and bad things would stay out of my dreams Easy. I wake sometimes mewing like a little kitten, afraid and disoriented. I usually find Mom L if I am not already next to her in bed. If I am in bed then I make sure to snuggle close and let her softly scritch my head until I relax again. We believe I have nightmares
We at the ARC think that you are one very lucky cat and deserved to be spoiled. Wish ALL kitties the same. That is why I do the work here that I do. To make kitties S.A.F.E. Keep up the great blogging work!!!
*waves paw to Miss Sue* Hi, thanks for coming to visit. Do you mean “Animal Rescue Corps”? We are not sure what ARC means. And not positive we know who you are unless you are the Miss Sue who has been visiting me like forever! Thank YOU for all that you do for cats and dogs too.
Safe and spoiled and privileged and royalty and gorgeous and loved and adored and understood. You done good, S.
Love and licks,
Cupcake (I done good, too)
awwww…*wipes small tear from eye with paw* Thank you so much Cupcake. Truly
You are safe indeed sweetie and have made great strides…so anything that makes you feel special is a good thing 🙂 and seems perfectly fine to me 🙂 loves Miss Bev xx
Thank you Miss Bev. I hope that one day I can allow at least Mom to pick me up without a struggle like you could finally do with Dinnermintz. She is my hero
Savvy I am sure it will happen..it’s not about you trusting Mum it’s about self protection..and that is very strong in many of us…Dinnermintz has her moments still and I don’t force the issue…like your Mum I know it is a bit at a time..bt she has taken to jumping on my lap when I lay down more and more..i cherish every moment..even if she is uber heavy 🙂 I do not mind one bit! loves Miss Bev xx
It has been a long, hard road for you, Savannah, and I can see why – even though you landed in an amazing home – you still need reassurance that you are safe. I’m glad you are here to help other kitties who need the same kind of love and care.
Summer you are so kind to recognize that I am trying to share my recovery to give hope to other cats who have suffered unknown trauma in their early life before getting to their forever homes.
Stand for your rights, Savvy! You so deserved to feel safe 🙂 Pawkisses for a great Monday 🙂 ❤
You are great supporter Binky; and so is your Grannie
If Sage keeps intruding on your meals it is a good idea of your humans to serve you at a different place from Sage. I cannot do that with my two but then those two are not interfering with each other’s kibbles (or hardly ever) and the wet food is shared without “sibling” rivalry.
Sometimes I do eat in the kitchen with TKS, but not often. I did better at that when she first came to live here. We don’t have any idea why all of a sudden over last 3 months I won’t eat in the same room with her very often.
So, is it Sage who has changed?
I think ya definitely deserve it!
Don’t you think all cats should be royalty on their homes?
You are safe. As I tell Harvey Home At Last – S.A.F.E.
Oh yes, make sure Harvey knows I trust you Miss Marjorie and Mr Paul and that he is now safe forever
