Practice Makes Purrfect…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

It has been a while since I practiced my Kill A Toy moves…you remember…I learned this from Mama Cat over at The Blog of Otis.

Now Mama Cat uses this technique in her Catlympic training camp…but I have found it is just as applicable (Vocab builder project VBP) in my efforts to Kill A Toy too.

Mama Cat teaches us to:

Watch…this means making sure you know what you want to destroy and keep it in focus…

Anticipate…here you have to be able to plot out where the toy will move it next…

Act (showing a kill face)…finally, attack with all your best ferociousness, and always, always have a very believable KILL FACE on…very impawtant

Mom helped my out by being my Toy Handler…

WATCH…look at that direct eye contact!…

Anticipate(shhhhh…but notice the concentration and focus)

ACT…(show Kill Face)…OH CAT!…I had it!!!…that was a great Kill A Toy  training session…

…pheww!!!…I had to get some water and a towel and go cool down after that Kill A Toy training session.  Mom did a good job keeping the toy moving in unexpected directions…

But as you can see…I have studied Mama Cat’s technique, Watch, Anticipate, Act and I am quickly honing (vocab builder project VBP) my skills…I anticipate many dedded toys in the near future…hear that Dad???

I’m gonna need some new toys pretty soon…just sayin’…

I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat!!!….

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well it has been a busy, busy morning with Mom…I just let her give me lots of soft tummy strokes!!

No Kidding!!!…I really, really did!…I fell asleep on the job being Staircase Troll…and when I woke up…I was scared and meowed for Mom…

She was in our office slaving for me doing some stuff for me like usual…so I ran upstairs to her voice calling to me…

Then I threw myself down on the carpet outside our office and she came out, laid down in the landing with me and that’s when I let her pet my tummy!!! I even let her kiss my back and shoulders…NOT MY TUMMY…but hey, progress, right??

Anywho, I want to share a little video with you cause for the very first time…I TAWT I TAW A PUDDY TAT…SNEAKIN’ UP ON ME….

There I am…just playing with my wonderful Pheasant Feather Toy…and Oh My Cat!!!  There was another cat!!

Of course you all know…it was a mirror…but my first time noticing it and I play there with my scratch ball thingy all the time! Mom is still chuckling over this one…

…and so am I ‘cuz this video is a bit of a “VIDEO BOMB” because she couldn’t play with me and keep focus…MOL…who gets the last heh, heh now???

Saturday Hunting…

Hiya!  Savannah Here!

I’ve been having some really great aerobic workouts with a new toy. I learned about this toy from one of my bestest girl furriends Cathy Keisha, Stunning Keisha, ‘cuz talked about these totally cool Pheasant Feather Toys on a post a while back…and guess what??!!…YES!! Thanks to you, CK, Mom bought me some….

Another great thing I do with Mom is use the Pheasant Feather Toy for some really good core strength building, not just aerobic…we play on our carpeted stairs…and I pull myself using my upper body and abs along the stair to chase the feather(ladycats need a nice 6 pak too!)….and I work my gluts and quads ‘cuz I also push myself along the stair.

Carpeting is key for this workout ‘cuz ya need to be able to sink those claws into the carpet to get leverage…whew…

…getting a good taste of the feather always is essential for me to build my focus…

..now some warm up work using just upper body…good for paw to eye coordination…

…now the stair work…here is where I get really serious about dedding the feather…ROAR!!!…

…smack, whack…munch, munch…

…yuummmm…tasty…hey, Mom?…I think I may need a new one next workout, OK??!!…

And that my furriends is how this cat did her Saturday Hunting…a real work out for ladycats and mancats…if you are up to it….meowwwwwww….that’s a challenge to all you napping cats…

…speaking of that….yawnnnn…hmmmm….ahem, koff, koff….maybe I will just see if there are some morning sun puddles with my name on them…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Paw pats, Savannah
