One Thousand Posts and Counting
HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
Oh My Cat!! Who would have EVER thought I would be posting my ONE THOUSANDTH BLOG POST!! Certainly not me and totally NOT Mom Linda!! (aka Mom L)
We started with very humble intentions of sharing with volunteers about my life after Contra Costa Humane Society’s Kitty Corner. Kitty Corner is a free roaming, private, no kill shelter for adult and special need cats pulled from my local municipal shelter. And yes, they also take in kittens from the shelter during “kitten season”. But their focus is on adult cats—like me.
Mom started taking my dictation around the second week I was with her and Dad P, which was December 9, 2011. Here is the first letter I sent to my former roomies and caretakers. I was with Mom and Dad for about twelve days. Mom thought it would be fun to have me send a note back to my roomies and let them know how great I was doing in foster care.
I think this was probably my fifth blog post. I was just learning how to communicate my messages to Mom L, ‘cuz as you know, she has those silly thumbs! 12/21/2011
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO MY ROOMIES AT KITTY CORNER
FROM SAVANNAH
Me trying to look relaxed
Hi Guys! Just wanted to let you know how I am doing with my Foster Mom (FM) and Foster Dad (FD). They are so cute! They just wait on me hand and foot, no kidding, really—who knew!! I share their, well, I guess now “our”, master bedroom and bath—and they let me roam the whole house, even up stairs now. Pretty cool, huh?
Just hangin’ out on FM’s toes
So, here’s what I am up to. You can see me in the photo above, just relaxing, sitting on FM’s toes—yes my butt is on her feet. Warm. I had just been playing with my new catnip toy, running around and amusing her—she likes that. I also have a scratching post, actually two—one down stairs and one up stairs—crazy huh? They just love spoiling me!! Anyways, I hide out under their, oops, I mean our, bed most of the day. But I come out, entertain them, let them pet me lots and I go exploring around when they are not watching—love those birds on their our deck.
His footisies are warm
One thing I learned about myself, and its kind’a embarrassing—I am afraid of my FD—not him personally—just that he is a “guy”. I am warming up to him—he is really kind and talks gushy to me—such a cutie he is. Above you can see a photo of me with him, and yes, I am sitting on his toes too. I don’t know what it is; I just like having my butt resting on someone’s feet. Go figure.
So I really am finding I like to be petted, and then I can’t stop myself, I just start purring! I love when FM pets me all the way out to the tip of my tail. She sometimes just pets my tail and holds it—really nice, I like that. FM and I have been working on my waistline—I know—some of you were too nice to say, but I was getting a bit pudgy. So we have this routine to help my gluts get tighter which slims down my waist a bit. She starts her pet at my head and when she get to my back-end, I lift my butt all the way off the floor, then she starts again, while I lower, then we repeat it 5 times for two sets. Whew!! It is tiring, but I am looooookking gooood—woo hoo! (2016,I realized this is a condition known as EB, or elevator butt.)
Who knew “clean” could be so tiring???
Well, just a couple of more things and then I have to run—I am really very busy these days, not like I was when I was hanging out at KC. Really, you guys just would not believe it is me and only a week away so far. Now,above you see me just crashed on our bed. This was cleaning day—some stranger shows up and cleans the house—scary! So when she left, FD and FM found me crashed on the bed. I was exhausted from being on guard. I let them get in bed with me, but I never moved. FM uses her electric blanket—LOVE THAT! So I stayed close to her all night. Well, gotta go now, catch ya all later, Savannah
Here is a whole bunch of photos of Mom L’s cherished photos of my first year and the next three years with her and Dad P.
If you have a favorite photo, let me know in comments and Mom L and Dad P will make a one dollar USD donation to Contra Costa Humane Society for every comment up to one hundred!!! Woo Hoo!!
PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

We listen to the HuMom read “Savannah’s Paw Tracks” as a regular part of our weekly routine. We know writing this 4+ times a week is work but it’s obsiouvly a labor of love.
HuMom loves the photos of you on the steps. Congratulations on 1000 post. You should be proud of all you’ve accomplished.🕯
wow Concats! 1000 posts… who told the story about a russian princess and her way of success…. BRAVO!
Wow, Savvy, concatulations on 1000 posts. You’ve come so far in so many ways. Look at you and your male human! You have given Ashton something to aspire to!
Concats on 1000 posts, Savvy! I like all your photos but my favourites are Elevator Butt and the one with you on the blue afghan with your curly toesies in the air. I like to sleep like that too.
I remember this.
There are SOOOO many cute shots showing your budding personality, S. But I think my favorite is you curled up on top of an afghan on the striped chair. I also sometimes cover my face when I nap. I find if I don’t, Mom wakes me up to tell me I’m cute! Ugh.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
1000!! Awesome! Congratulations! LOVE your letter to the other kitties there, too cute!
and LOVE the pictures of your toes! What is it about kitty toes? They are irresistible!
Congratulations, Savvy! We love all of your pictures, Granny was all in Aww with each one of them and then came the bunny ears..that happen to be your pawsies and Granny fell in love with that one imediately. Extra 1000 Pawkisses for the occasion 🙂 ❤
Congratulations on your 1,000 blog! Well done. You have a bunch of great pictures Savvy! I like the 2nd one with you on the steps in the sun puddle, the best. Although many, many images are very interesting. That big elevator butt is interesting as well. Here’s to another 1,000 blogs.
Congratulations to a dear friend on a wonderful blog who puts many others in the shade with its commitment to rescues, and animals. We are proud to be your friends and readers,
