Confused TKS—Confident Savannah

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This is another report on my continuing progress—some of which is beginning to confuse The Kid Sage. You see not everything in my relationship with Dad P is exactly as it was when she first came to live in my our special loving, caring home.

I’ve already told about my progress in getting closer to, and trusting more, Dad P. You can check out my progress reports with him here, here and here, which is a very early report on my progress with allowing Dad P to feed me in the first six months of my adoption. If you haven’t been following me since April 2012 then you might wanna be sure to check that one out.

Now for my recent confidence which has caused TKS some confusion.

First you need to know that Mom L always sits on the couch with me at night to watch TV and Dad P always sits in his ~~Mom L’s other~~ chair and TKS gets to join him.

WELL! Was TKS ever shocked and confused the other night when Dad P did something different and SO DID I!!

What’s Dad P doin’ sitting there!!

…

And why the heck is Nana still staying on the couch without Mom L??

And now you can see why I was staying still while Dad P settles into Mom L’s place on the couch.

Ahhh —Dad P you give such nice warm scritches

Give me a shout out in comments if you think I am progressing faster as I get older. I’m doin’ a study for my meowmoirs.

Playing Around With My Selfie

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Today I am joining my pals from The Cat On My Head for their regularly channeled Sunday Selfie Blog Hop. Why don’t you just paw the badge below and transport yourself over to see all the creative selfies!?

The Kid Sage and I held a competition to decide which one of us ~~unfortunate~~ lucky girls got to pawticipate this week. We asked Mom L if we could toss Dad P in the air and which ever side he landed on would decide who pawticipated.

Who knew that silly Dad P could land on his head!! You got it!! He landed straight up so now we both ~~have~~ get to pawticipate. If only he had rolled to his right, I would have been given a reprieve.

So here is my contribution. I used Dreamscope and LunaPic for my selfie. I think it turned out kind’a cool. So what say all of you??

I also did one that was a bit more subdued. I just used a filter on Photoshop Elements.

You can see my eyes and whisker are a couple of my best features.

TKS wanted to be a bit more dramatic so she chose to use LunaPic.

Her next rendition was even more dark. Can you even see her???

Let me know in comments what you think of our efforts. We both have very distinctive eyes so we tried to capture that feature.

Boldly I Go Forward

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Are you ready for yet ANOTHER huge paw step forward in my recovery from trauma progress???

I heard you all shout out YES!!! YES !!!

Great, ‘cuz this is gonna be great!

So I always knew our living room is lower than our dining room. And I did know that there is a rail between the two. Now TKS stepped up and quickly started using that “between” the rails path to get from the upper dining area to the lower living room area.

I hesitated for one and a half years. BUT—

About a month ago, I started to enter my place on the couch next to Mom L by slipping through the rails and joining her. Guess what I also started to realize??

I realized that Mom L’s head/hair was right about the level where I could take a long look at her hair. Now mind you, these photos are really fuzzy as Mom L I took them using our paw phone.

Hmmm—now this is really interesting.

So I started to snuffle Mom L’s hair. Of course it tickled her and eventually she noticed it wasn’t some stoopid bug, but ME!

Snuffle, snort, tickle

I did that for about two weeks. And then I started to get REALLY REALLY BOLD!

I decided that Mom L had way too many stray hairs in her hair style. What better way to help her control her hair style, and in fact improve upon it, than to add KITTY SPIT!!

Come’on guys, you know I am right! We cats have been using KITTY SPIT aka KS for eons. It keeps our furs sleek, shiny and wondrously luxuriously delightful to stroke.

So I decided to put my shyness to the side and help Mom L not only gain luxurious head furs, but also to help get a way much needed hair style.

Of course, I needed to get up close and personal—

Ah, here is where her hair style needs help—chomp

Well she jumped like a kitten seeing a cucumber!!! HEY!! WOMAN!!! I am just tryin’ to get a hold on your hair style. Chill lady!

Next came the KITTY SPIT aka KS conditioner.

Let me give this some KS healing

Have any of you tried to help your human with their seriously depleted hair condition and also lame hair styles?? What was their reaction. And more importantly—

Well who knew her hair could also be tasty?

—did you find your human’s hair to be sort of a different taste delight?

And to my woofie pals, do wolfies help their humans with their hair styles and conditioning as much as we cats like to go??? Leave me some comments as to how I can be of better service to Mom L in getting her hair style and conditioning looking better.
