Funnies For Friday…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well, as you already know, I have to use some of my OLDER posts ‘cuz Mom has now been gone about 10 years…and she took Dad with her…sigh…yeah, yeah, I know…I have Auntie Shannon wrapped around my paws here to snuggle and play with, but it’s not the same.

Anyways, I asked Mom if she had to use OLD stuff, at least use something fun!

This is a letter I wrote to my former roomies at Kitty Corner to let them know how I was doing.  I had only been with Mom and Dad for about 3 weeks by that time, and already I was so changed from when I lived at Kitty Corner.

I wrote:

“Boy, I had a great Christmas, hope all of you did too. I learned to be around other people beside FM (foster Mom) and FD (foster Dad).  Scary, but I handled it pretty well. Only went under the bed once!!

 So, we had company for Christmas dinner.  And guess who came from KC (Kitty Corner)??

 Suzanne!…you know her—she sounds different, and her hubby, Kevin joined us. I was really pleased to see Suzanne, and I let her pet me and I even purred for her and talked to her just a bit. She was so sweet—said she liked my voice as she had never heard it.

 And Kevin, well, he is a guy—and I am still kind of afraid of them. But, I was going to let him come into our bedroom and I was going to say hi—but guess what he said!!!

 “I was hiding quietly behind the afghan over the chair, and he says “I can see her butt”!!! “

My butt is showing

 YIKES! Can you believe it! After all my squats I still have a big butt that sticks out for all to see—sheesh! And then there is the tail too.  So we have to step up my workout program. Yes, that is a picture on the right of my butt sticking out of the afghan.  Humiliating!

 So, the exercise is getting pretty fun.  I have started to get lots more aerobic time in, what with chasing my catnip mouse when I throw it in the air, playing with the laser light and then the wand feather thing—whew—that really tires me out ‘cuz I chase it like a crazy girl!

 You can see me doing some upper body boxing in the photo below.  That keeps my front legs and paws in good shape so I can whack someone if needed.

Upper body workout

 I have a photo of me and FM taking a nap together.  She is so sweet; she reaches out and scratches my head.  I just love, love, love having my whole head scratched, especially around my eyes, nose and my ears—-ooohhhh—that is sooooo nice.”

Napping with foster Mom

I wrote two letters to my former roomies while I was still being fostered by Mom and Dad…I think those two letters got me and Mom starting to think about blogging…it was my beginning…

Hope you had a good time reading…I like to think I have come a long way in my mental and fitness recovery as well as in my writing…certainly Mom is like WAY BETTER with the FLASH and CLICK!!! She and Dad bought a brand new camera just to make my blog photos better…gotta luvluvluv those guys!

Friday Frolics…how to play alone and like it…meow!

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Most of the time, I don’t play a lot by myself.  I need Dad or Mom’s hand waving something for me to get going.

But one night last week, they were having those “adult beverages” before dinner, and we were all watching the news… well…I got one of those “holy cat! Must Play Now” moods going…and kind’a went off my Nip ‘N Nap Mat, and my fave feather toy…all by myself…

peeEss…Mom and I tried for literally (VBP) 5 hours to do a “gallery show” with captions…stuff it I say…Mom and Dad are trying to prepare me for another one of their “get-a-ways”…they are “going out of country”…what???…there won’t be any country where they are going???  So confusing for this kitteh…but Mom and I are trying REALLY hard to schedule 10 posts ahead for me…purrlease have patience…and forgiveness…

…sigh…

Tuesday Tunnel Time

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well, thank Ceiling Cat that many of our furriends, family and others have not been harmed by the monster storm Sandy. I  know some have not checked in yet, but paws crossed.

I spent some time just thinking about all that had happened over night…

…best place for getting my thinking done is in one of my tunnels…nice and quiet…

…OMC! what is that under my toesies?!!…MOM!…cut that out!…I was trying to think!…

She kind’a scared me…what with something moving under my toes and that FLASH and CLICK thingy!

Hope your Tuesday is a nice quiet, dry relaxing one…Paw pats, Savannah
