BREAK THROUGH…tiny paw steps forward again

Ok, it may not seem like lots to some…BUT…I totally flabbergasted Mom and Dad last night…myself too actually.

They were all relaxed and watching TV in our family room…and you may remember I used to hang with them in there at night, sit with Mom and watch TV too. Then I had the “SET BACK” about 7 or so weeks ago and just stopped hanging with them in the family room at night.

Well…I always have my after dinner snack at my breakfast room feeding station…then I walk through the family room, usually about 7PM or so…and walk right in front of the TV, give them the “look” that says “sorry, can’t stay…stuff to do…” and keep on walking down the hall…then I return in about an hour to let them know I am ready to play and have them join ME in our bedroom.

Weeellllllll…last night…drum roll again please! BA BOOM BA BOOM…I started my stroll past the TV, then Mom invited me over to the couch…and WHAMMO…I hung a left and walked right over to the couch and jumped up!!! YES!

Dad was so startled he stopped the show they were watching…then I checked out what was left on Mom’s dinner plate, another thing I NEVER do…then I jumped on the back of the couch and walked back and forth sniffing…I NEVER do that either!!!

Oh My Cat!! so now Mom is shocked like…and they left the TV off so long it went to that thingy where the ICON just starts rolling around on the screen and I watched that a teeny bit with them…then Mom gave me a pet and I jumped down..that’s it….that’s my BREAK THROUGH for last night!

Pretty cool huh? No photos of course ‘cuz it all happend so unexpected like…Dad couldn’t grab the picture taking thingy.

So this morning, I was hangin’ out in the entry with my furriend Nanuk and we talked about last night…he is my “pretend” Sibe pal…I get courage from Nanuk. He thought I did a great job last night.

So later, they came back to the bedroom earlier than usual just to reward me…and I played lots with Dad and Mom…

…we all finished watching TV there.

Whew! What a Workout!

Well, Mom and Dad left me alone all day yesterday…then last night…OH MY CAT!!

They decided I needed to do my WHOLE workout routine at ONE TIME!! I was ready for bed, but said “what the heck…I can do this!” Even tho’ I, personally, had been very busy during the day…what with first watching the bedroom and hummer feeder outside…

Then I had to go do interior patrols…sittin’ on my cat tower to watch the ~~finches and doves~~…err..umm…to make sure nothing was gonna get in the house from outside…then I had to go up and down the stairs, and watch the side yard from upstairs to make sure nothing could climb the wall and get in…’course I may have taken a little nap at each patrol station…

Soooo….they decide I need some exercise just ‘cuz THEY didn’t get any…so first they had me do about a catjillion reps of my core workout…ya know the one where you have to squeeze your abs tight to flip from side to side…and I had to do 2 sets!

Then they want me to get goin’ on my aerobic stuff to get my heart rate up and all…ya know this one…chase that stupid red dot you can never catch…

So first, ya have to see it…

…now get a good focus on it…

…next get it right between your paws for contol…

..aaiiieee yowl! it got away..run..

..then use your hind legs and try to pounce on it from above…

…now just breathe…and ignore it!

Then I catch my breath thinking Mom will be tired by now…but nooooooooo…she says there is still the upper body workout to do…ya know…building your chest, back, front legs…gettin’ good eye–prey—paw coordination…so out comes the green feather thingy (which I luvluvluv) but Oh Cat!…I’m getting a bit tired here…

So first I spot it moving over my head…

..then I use my upper body to pummel it

Well, now I am totally exhausted…I need a snack and my pets and my bed…I don’t think I will be so hard on the staff next time they take a day away. Just sayin….

Paw pats, Savannah
