Saturday Photo Hunt…ADD

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I thought I would try the Saturday photo hunt…but it wasn’t so easy…but I took a hint from Sparkle’s photo…and thought…”good idea”…

Mom is definitely afflicted (VBP)…look at this desk…

She has paper piled everywhere…hoping for inspiration (VBP) somehow…(shakes head)

I…on the other paw…have no such affliction…I am always calm, relaxed…everything in purrfect order…

…ummmmm…except maybe for my current tissue paper pile…it is getting a teensy bit like, torn up…

But, just because sometimes I leave my stuff out after a play session with Mom…doesn’t mean “I” have ADD…

MOM!!!! STOP IT!!! DON’T SHOW THAT PHOTO!!!!…(stomps off upstairs, twitching tail…)

FROM MOM:  Little Miss “I just don’t know what toy I want to play with today” is totally afflicted…maybe not with ADD…but with something else called “FPD” (finicky personality disorder)…hmmmm…maybe Savannah should have the title Sammy has…”One Spoiled Cat”…

Paw pats, Savannah

peeEss: I posted information about an editorial page in our local San Francisco Chronicle paper about progress on feral cat colony control and care, click here

I had a comment waiting approval from this person: BEWARE OF THIS PERSON IN YOUR COMMENT QUEUES

woodsman001

He had to leave two comments because he ran out of space I guess…it was a hideous rant…I clicked on his contact info and of course, it is locked…he hides…
EXCERPT FROM HIS TWO EXCEEDINGLY LONG COMMENTS:
“FACT: Trap, Neuter, & Release (TNR) is an even bigger abject failure because these man-made ecological disasters cannot be trapped faster than they exponentially breed out of control, and they also continue the cruelly annihilate all native wildlife (from the smallest of prey up to the top predators that are starved to death), and the cats continue to spread many deadly diseases that they carry today — FOR WHICH THERE ARE NO VACCINES AGAINST THEM.”….”The ONLY difference between rats and cats these days is that people who own and love pet-rats aren’t severely mentally unbalanced and trying to hoard feral-rat populations on other people’s public and private properties — while also relentlessly petitioning all their lawmakers to do so. Pet-rat owners, and all other types of pet owners, at least have THEIR sh** together.”
I found his comments offensive and extreme…just sayin’…

Friday Recovery…

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!!

…(whispers to Mom…shhhhhh…Mom!…not so loud…)

What a pawty…all my furriends are so incredibly(VBP) enthusiastic (VBP)!!!…And Loud!!

We are still waiting for the final total comments as we prepare this post…but Mom and I decided to take it easy today, Friday, January 4th…we had great plans to post all the extra cards, money (yes, I got MONEY), e-cards, etc….but Mom (sends direct message to Mom via ‘eye contact’) said she was “too tired”…WHATEVER!!

So…this is just an easy day for us…thought you might enjoy a couple of photos not published yet…and then on Saturday…we are gonna post all my other e-cards and stuff…hope that is OK…And purrlease, purrlease forgive me for not visiting any furriends today…I tried to make sure I replied to every comment…and Mom promises I can visit tomorrow and over weekend…

You all are the bestest ever…thank you so much for making this adult rescue shelter cat’s First Gotcha Day Pawty such a memorable (VBP) event!  I am honored by your commitment to adult cat and dog rescue and adoption.

Basically, this is what I did to take a break today…when the sun came out…

Oh Cat!!! I am so, so, so excited!!!  I am ready to PAWTY!!

Mom has been working like crazy, furriends have given us a helping hand and even Dad got into the act to make sure my First Gotcha Day celebration is fun, fun, fun!!!

MY PREZZIE FROM MOM AND DAD!!!

 I asked Mom and Dad if I could have a COMMENTATHON as my Gotcha Day prezzie and they said “Sure, Savannah Banana, what ever you want sweetie”…(wrapped around my little paws)

Mom said “I will donate, from my allowance for January, $.5o cents USD for EVERY COMMENT FROM ONE VISITOR…then last night Dad said “I will see your $.50 cents and raise you $.25 cents USD…making it $.75 cents USD”!  What a Dad!!!

So that’s it…leave a comment…and hang out and pawty, pawty, pawty…(multiple member furramilies can only comment once, not for each furramily member…no spiking the comments Mollie and Alfie, Katnip Lounge, Poupounette or any of you guys with lots of furramily members…I need for Dad and Mom to have money left for my kibble and fancy feast!!)
