Katie photo shoot

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I don’t know if Mom L has had such a struggle photo shoot for a long time. She is always in search of grabbing a photo of Katie, WITH EARS UP.. Not an easy thing to grab when the subject kitty is still so very shy and timid.

But, Mom L lassoed Dad P to assist and here are their outtakes.

Mom L: “Katie, can you look at  me with your ears up?”

KK: “Like  this Mom?”

Mom L: “Not quite honey. Try to get them BOTH going straight up at the same time, ok?”

KK: “Lemme try again.”


KK: “oops, sorry, Dad P distracted me. Why did he do that?”

Mom L: “He was trying to help you get both ears straight up.”

KK: “Sigh—I’m so embarrassed. Can’t you just be OK with showing off my lovely white shawl that drapes so perfectly across my shoulder?”

Mom L: “Oh Katie, your shawl is very special!”

KK: ” How’s about making do with a great profile photo??”

Mom L: ” Hmmm—that’s not really what I am hoping for sweetie.”

KK: “Ohhh—tummy tickle!! Lemme sort out my tummy furs so’s they don’t tickle me during my photo shoot, okay?”

Mom L: ” Of course little one, do what you need to do.”

KK: “Domino is photo bombing my special photo shoot!! Dad P!! Get him outta here!!”

Dad P: ” I got him KK. Now try again for Mom L.”

KK:” How’s this one?”

Mom L: “KK, every single photo of you is always special and always just purrfect.”

Keep away game is fun!!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Do you and your fur sibs ever play “keep away” with a cherished toy? Dad P, Mom L and I witnessed the three youngsters doing just that! It all started with Domino finding an old, small, red mousie toy. Likely from about three Christmas’ ago. It has been in the bottom of our toy basket for a while.

Domie loves to carry his toys around, then stop to play with them in front of Katie and Foster Reesie and then grab them away and dash off. He waits for them to follow him.

Well, Foster Reesie snatched this red mousie away and dashed up to the first flight of stairs to the landing. She proceeded to toss that mousie all around; up against the wall; grabbing it in her paws and mouth. All the while watching Domie, out  of the corner of her eye, looking all wistful seeing his cherished mousie being mauled by Foster Reesie!! MOL!!!

You can see Katie sitting all cute and polite on the upper steps. She waits for her moment. When Foster Reesie is taking a break and brofur Domie is still in shock—Katie makes her move!! SNEAK ATTACK!!!

I thought Mom L was gonna spit out her wine watching Katie’s professional move!!! Here are our “game” participants.

How do you keep score when you play Keep Away??

How we roll when the humans are away

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Sometimes Mom L and Dad P have to get going really fast  and early in the mornings. All I ask is that Mom L NEVER forget to give us our morning treats, both those before and those after our breakfast. And she always makes sure we get them before they dash off.

Now you can see that our bed is unmade and we reassure Mom L and Dad P that we don’t mind if they don’t get our two daytime tents set up and the bed all tidied up. You all know that an unmade bed is the best ever for our morning nap time, right?

So first we each start trying out just where we wanna settle down. You can see me in my favorite brown and white flannel bed. I sure do wish I could remember who made this bed! And Sage picks the nice cozy bedsheets and Domino selects the blanket in between TKS and me.

I am sure that Katie is already on one of her beds on the floor next to our balcony sliding window. That way she can keep tabs on passing birds and the comings and goings in our back patio below.

Finally, we end up in our spots and spend a happy morning in slumber.

Do you prefer your bed to be “made” or do your prefer to have your bed left all messed up??
