Special Friday Memes

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My special Friday Memes post features a particular handsome mancat from the Delta View Colony Mom L and I have been helping. We have so many Happy Tail Endings to share as we have helped about seven friendly adult cats, living in this colony from months to many years, find their forever homes!!

But one of our sweet mancats is so special to us. He was named Valentino by the Contra Costa Animal Services staff. And I think it suits him very well.

You can see him in the photo below chowing down with his colony buddies before TGC (The Great Capture) when Mom L nabbed him!

Valentino did not stay long in the county animal services shelter, but for him, it was an eternity. Val was so very shy, but he so loved being touched by human hands that he drooled like a crazy cat!!

Val was pulled from the shelter by a local rescue, Furever Animal Rescue and they placed him in their wonderful Enchanted Forest enclosure at their local Petco.

You can see in his second meme that Val totally embraced his new placement.

Val is located in San Pablo, CA. If you know any family in the SF Bay Area wanting a very special feline mancat, then let me know!!

I will leave you with one of my more “darling” memes of myself. Do let me know in comments what you think.

Hope you enjoyed my Friday Memes and let me know in comments what you hope to see next week!!

Managing Your Down Time

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

After a busy exercise routine including laps chasing the EIRD (Ever Illusive Red Dot) and paw whacking my peacock feather up, across and down our stairs, I need some down time. Wouldn’t you? I mean after we cats put in our time at the gym, why we not only need but we deserve time to cool off and get a good rub down.

Let me give you the FYI (For Your Information) about how I manage my down time. First up, I find my Dad P and give him a direct eye contact stare while uttering a strong assertive “mroowwww”. I wait to make sure he knows I am talking to him, then I lead him to the living room area rug and throw myself down right at his feet. This is just the start of how I manage my down time.

Ok Dad P, get to it!!

He knows I am waiting and he dare not leave my side. My fave way to cool off is to get my furs brushed. All that air coming through and the brush slips through my furs really helps get my heart rate back to its resting beat.

Ahhh—that’s it! Strong but gentle strokes please.

Now if I don’t manage my down time, then Dad P might get the idea that “he” can decide just how I ought to be rubbed down. No siree —I make sure he knows I am always in charge of managing my down time.

That’s enough with the back furs, now move on to my special spot

I have trained Dad P well and he knows not to mess with my decisions when it comes to just how I want my rub down and cool off to go. He gets my meaning and moves right to give me a gentle cranial brushing. Such a delight, don’t you think??

mmmmm….this is just what I needed

Some of you may think I am a tough task master with Dad P, but trust me, you simply cannot allow your humans to start thinking they can determine how you “ought” to spend your down time. You won’t get what you want if you don’t develop some very direct looks to let them know when their time is done.

Watch my next move

You see it’s all in the “look” to get you what you want. Humans are pretty easy to manage. All I have to do is give Dad P one look and he knows I’m done with his services.

Stop right there! You already did my back furs.

And there you have it. A little lesson on how to manage you down time to be sure you get what you want. As soon as I gave Dad P the “look”, he stopped with the brush and left me to give my freshly brushed furs a good kitty spit bath.

How do you manage your down time with your humans??

Friday Memes Ready to Go!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I am getting excited to hear from my readers that you enjoy having me include some of my rescue cats in my Friday Memes. So without paws, let me introduce you to Spike. He is a five month old dude who was the more outgoing of a bonded set of brothers.

As you can tell from his furry outward purrsonality, he was the more “marketing oriented” of the two bonded brothers. And his style worked, they were adopted TOGETHER!!

And then there is another pawerfurrl photo from my Reader Without Blog Miss Dorothy. Sweet Angel Tigger was such an expressive cat.
