I definitely am NOT addicted to tissue paper…and I am certainly NOT at all possessive of the tissue paper in my castle found lying about on MY floor…nope…not me…no way!
No, that tissue paper is NOT calling my name…nope, not happening…
Tissue Paper: “Here kitty, kitty, kitty…come play with me…”
Savannah: “No, not interested…you just fall apart and I am just about over you”
Tissue Paper: “Really?…heh…heh”
Well, maybe just one more time for old times sake…
I know for a fact that once I am under the tissue paper…I am totally invisible…check this out…not a cat in sight…
No cat under here
Tissue Paper: “Right HRH Savannah…sure, sure…”

The Kid Sage: “ummm…tissue paper?”
Tissue Paper: “what kid…”
The Kid Sage: “Is HRH Savannah gone? Is it OK if I come over and hang out with you?”
Tissue Paper: ” Sure Kid, come on over…*rustle, rustle*”
Oh Cat!! HRH Savannah knows I am with you Tissue Paper!!

What a whirlwind weekend we had here. So much to do…most of which I cannot yet share with you all. But soon my pals, very very soon.
But I have something much more important to share with you than anything about me and my doings.
Do you recall the lovely cat named Lightning whom I shared with you some weeks ago? You can click here to read that story…it is one of rescue, adoption, abandonment in the new home, back to rescue…from starvation and the syndrome it can bring to cats…hepatic lipidosis.
Lightning was so very fortunate she was pulled from the local county kill shelter by Bright Haven…an animal rescue and sanctuary…and so much more. Please be sure to learn more about their incredible work to help animals in need and to educate humans about what it means to become a guardian, for life, for a companion animal. Visit their website here. Their subtitle is “healing arts center for animals”…trust me you will enjoy learning more about them.
Back to Lightning and her battle with hepatic lipidosis…before I give you the update…it is important to remember the condition this sweet girl was in when her foster pulled her from the shelter…(hover over photo to view complete caption)
Note yellow around eyes, ears, mouth
Note yellow around her ears
Note yellow under her chin on her fur
The most often approved treatment method for a cat in this stage of hepatic lipidosis is to insert an esophageal feeding tube in the side of the cat’s neck. You can see the tube used to feed Lightning.
Lightning was fortunate that her vet knew just what to do…and her foster knew just how to follow the vet’s directions…
This is Lightning now…(remember to hover…)
Just a bit of yellow around her ears
Neck is clear and eyes too
Saved from Hepatic Lipidosis
Paw Pats, Savannah
peeEss...if you can help Lightning find her forever home, please be sure to contact her foster Mom at susanh at brighthaven dot org

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!
This ‘tail’ is a 3 hanky tail…just sayin’…all happy
I know you remember the urgency to help a great woofie named Cash…find his forever home…or at the very least a foster for a months…click HERE for the back story…
chained…
Once you read the back story…you will understand how completely happy, joyful and fulfilled I am to report on where Cash is now…thank you to each and everyone one of you who shared his need for a home. Cash found one…directly related to all the networking all of YOU did to help him…and I simple must give a very big shout out to Five Sibes for sharing Cash’s urgent need…because their Face Book presence is where Cash’s new family eventually found him.
The aspect of this rescue which is most heart warming to me is that every one who shared Cash’s need never once paid attention to whether or not he was a woofie or cat that needed to be networked to find a home…everyone…cats, woofies, piggies, bunnies…you all helped. I hope you will all enjoy seeing his journey once his forever home found him.
Before and After
…first Cash was to be flown from North Carolina, USA to Rhode Island, USA…by his original rescuer who lives in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Unfortunately Cash arrived at the airport in North Carolina without having his required water and food dishes in his carrier…no fault, no blame…but the airline and others took care and Cash was given his water and food dishes and set off on a slightly delayed schedule. His new family was in contact throughout with me and Mom L…we were so excited for Cash!!!
Cash first came to our attention on August 14 through a Twitter contact…and now it was September 12th and he was on his way to his forever home…and his arrival was simply incredible…

What a flight!!
If you have now read Cash’s back story…click HERE…then you know that he has not had much human contact for the first year of his life. He is about one year old.
His first night “inside”…was amazing…remember…he had been staked out on a short rusted chain to a post for at least 9 to 12 months…
Whoa! This is mighty nice!
Cash arrived very late Friday night, September 12…and his New Mom Liz confessed that she slept on that short couch near Cash’s crate…and Samantha, his 7 year old Sibe sister, and Foster, his 5 year old Shiba Inu brother, slept on the larger couch…what a furramily!!!
Mom Liz stated…“Cash woke me about 4:30 AM to go potty…he went out…came right back in…and right back to his crate…”
And the next day…well just take a look at this short video of Cash experiencing being off a short rusted chain for the first time in his young life.
Cash worked his way into the hearts of his new family…at least his new Dad Mike and new Mom Liz and new Sibe sisfur Samantha…ummmm…I am thinking his new brofur Foster and Cash have some stuff to woo about…you might want to check out my pals over at Love Is Being Owned by a Husky…they are posting about Cash as well this week…and my pals, Nuk Nuk and Isis at RA Husky were so great to help too and have a post up about Cash…this took a global village…seriously…
Let me share another wonderful video of Cash’s first weekend in his new home…he discovered that squeeky toys are pawsome…and his new fave is Mr Snakie…who he tried to bury to save for another day…but first…Cash looked like he was a ‘CAT’…on the ‘nip’…
Here is slideshow of Cash in his first 5 days in his forever home…enjoy…and bring a hankie…just sayin’…

If you have not used that hankie yet…
…Cash arrived very late on a Friday night…then on Sunday night his Mom Liz shared this with us…
“My husband and I were going to bed, so we put Cash in his crate, well we kept hearing barking and banging, so I went downstairs and checked things out and all seemed ok, i pulled the crate away from the wall thinking Cash was moving around a lot and went back to bed, 5 minutes later and it starts again, so I go back downstairs and it’s actually Samantha, my husky, going crazy…she doesn’t want him in the crate. So I let Cash out, he follows me upstairs and is now sleeping on the bed, while Samantha is nice and quiet sleeping on the couch downstairs. I’m telling you, I can’t make this stuff up!”
This is how Mom Liz and Dad Mike believe Cash see’s his forever home…
I am looking outside from inside for the first time ever in my life…thank you
I have such gratitude, appreciation for everyone who shared Cash’s plight and search for a permanent home…so please join me in Pepi Smart Dog’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop…click on the badge to visit other wonderful Thankful Blog Posts.
And if Cash’s story is not enough for you to use that hankie…let me share this…just as Cash was finding his forever home…I received information about FOUR Sibes who were owner surrendered to the public kill shelter in my area, in Northern California. They were not all from the same owner…just all dropped at the kill shelter on the same weekend…August 30…

Hutch was thankfully pulled for Norsled, a northern California sled dog rescue group. Snowflake and Puppy No Name were adopted by September 12th…and finally…just Tuesday, September 16, Angel was adopted with her date for review for being put to death on September 18. All of these Sibes have been tremendously networked using social media anipals…I cannot thank you all enough for having helped. We may not ‘be’ the direct connection to all FOUR being rescued/adopted…but the very SHARING put enough positive energy into the universe to help their rescuer/adopters find them…blessings on all of you.
