Oh No!! I Damaged Mom!!!

Well, ya may have been wondering why I all of a sudden started to check out Mom’s lap…errrr…ummmm…oh gosh! Sooooo embarrassing….paws on side of face, shaking head…oh cat, oh cat…

So if you have been around my bloggy much, ya know I luvluvluv a good game of “Oh No! Mice in the Bed”….mostly me and Mom play it…but sometimes I get Dad about 2Am…MOL

Anyways, so a couple of nights ago…well—first ya need to know that we changed our bedspread from the Spring weight one to the Summer weight one. Mom calls it something like Seerer Suker (what’s a ‘Seerer’?? and what do they ‘Suker’??) So…this bedspread is thin, with a cotton sheet under it then peep skin…got it??

So the night I am talkin’ about was chilly, so Dad (he’s so nice like this…purrr) he gets a couple of afghans…one for him, one for Mom and both for ME ‘cuz I sleep in the middle.

They are in bed…Mom moves her feet…I raise my head…then Dad says to Mom something like…”Ya better not do that, you’ll be sorry…” and Mom just giggles…

And…the game is on with me and Mom…Oh No! Mice in the Bed!!!…

…I lay down, real quiet like…watchin’ and waitin’…

…WHAMMO…the mice move…and I go for the kill immediately…diving right in for them…

…whoa! where did they go??? Which way??…I must be alert!!…

…there!…over there!!!…grab quick…claws out to get a good killing grip…

..aiiee! they slipped past me!…now where???…wait for it, wait for it….

…GOT IT!!! Ah HA!!…get it fast…don’t let go…make this one the real final blow…

…Oh, what was that?? Did Mom say something??…I thought she said something like, errrr…ummmm…wellll…did she say ‘couch’ or ‘shout’ ….

…why is Dad getting up…going to the bathroom…now Mom is going too…Dad said something like “Told ya so” and Mom just giggles…and…oh gosh…is she kind’a limping???

…why do they have this stuff out????

OH NO!!!! I DAMAGED MY MOM!!!! SHE WAS BLEDDING!!! AWFUL!!!…

Can you see her boo-boo??? It is almost healed now…but for the last couple of days I have been letting her know how sorry I am and so I am trying to work on getting in her lap ‘cuz I know that will make her feel way better…

Just a little head’s up for all you guys readin’ this…whatever ya do…DON’T DAMAGE MOM!

…sigh…Paw pats, Savannah

Movie Delay…But Check This Out

Ok, I have to admit it…I did not wanna do my Precious Prancing Pony move this week…and Mom couldn’t get me to do it AND take the video and Dad was bbbiiiizzzzzyy…so…give me time…and the PPPMovie will happen…so that’s the Movie delay covered.

Now…I have some pretty great news…at least we all think it is ‘news’ and ‘great’. First, I am still finding new places to nap…and last night it was cold so Dad put a couple of afghans on our bed…one for him, one for Mom and BOTH for ME! Natch!

Anyways, so he folded them up on the end of the bed this morning and left to do some stuff…and Mom found me…

…yup…I was sitting on the folded afghans startin’ to think about how nice it would be to take a nap here…but I was still in my meatloaf position thinkin’ about it…so Mom left, then came back about a half hour later….WOO HOO!!…score another photo op!!!…

…I was like totally sound asleep…she could have snapped away and I would NEVER have known…

Now for the even better part…see that chair in the background…behind that chair is my safe spot and my scratch post is back there too…

Well…remember when I first came to our house, I used to sleep in that chair…here is a photo to remind you…

Ok…so…this afternoon…Mom sits in that chair to use our iPad…we are still sharing one ‘cuz she hasn’t had time to go get her new one so I can have the old one…

Anyways, so I hop off the afghans…stroll over to Mom sitting in the chair…and I put my paws up on the chair cushion…not sure what I was thinkin’…but all of a sudden…Mom’s lap looked really good to me!!!

So I hung around the chair, she encouraged me…I did my rollity roll roll all around the chair on the floor…being cute…begging for pets…she kept calling me and patting her lap..then she got an afghan and put it in her lap…

WOW! that looked even better…so then I went over 2 more times, put my paws up on the chair cushion to check out that enticing lap….

And that was it for today! But CAN YOU BELIEVE!!!??? I WAS STOKED ABOUT HER LAP!!! Will wonders never cease in my recovery process.

Oh yeah, and then I followed her out to the kitchen, stopping to make a sprint through my Three Tunnel Toy…and when she gave me some kibble…I dashed over to my feeding station with her and started to gobble up my snack!!! Just like a comfy homebody cat…whew….what an afternoon…

Paw pats, Savannah

Brekkies with Dad

I come to Dad efurry morning now when he calls me….sometimes I trot along behind him to the kitchen…

Then Dad gets my soft food from the fridge…he gives it a little ‘nuking’ in the microwave (Dad doesn’t think I should have to eat cold food…he’s soooo cute!)

Now I walk over to my food station with him, and I let him give me a pet or two while I start to eat…it is our growing morning ritual…and I luvluvluv it!

…yeah, yeah…I know I look like I am about to dash off…that’s ‘cuz I am…Mom was too noisy with that FLASH and CLICK so she almost missed the shot…at least ya get the idea…
