Some of My Favorite Things

Just some stuff I thought I ought’a share with you guys ‘cuz it means lots to me.

So first…as you can probably already guess…YEP…my BLUE BLANKIE! I love love love my blue afghan blankie and it has a bit of history. A really nice co-worker made this for my Mom 40 years ago!!! Mom picked out the pattern, something called “Popcorn” she thinks and she picked out the color of the yarn.

So this afghan blankie was also my step sister Tasha’s fav too…Tasha went OTRB Sept. 2011. So now the blue afghan is mine…all mine!  It is the most comfortable spot for me to sleep and play. Wish I could drag it around the house with me MOL!!!

Here is some detail

You can see why I like it so much…so soft and warm…uummm

Now here are some of my fav toys…these are the ones I need Mom and Dad to be able to play with…

AND FINALLY…TA DA!!!! ALL NEW TOYS MOM SURPRISED ME WITH TODAY

so, you can tell I have it pretty good here…Dad held my paws and gave me lots of reasuring pets when we had an awful noisy thunderstorm last night…and we NEVER have stuff like that here in the SF Bay Area!

Finally, here is me…and you can tell…I kind’a don’t even know what the heck to do with so many toys!!  I never had anyone give me so many just for me…all mine…and brand new…not hand me downs…(wiping tears with paws…sniff…sigh…purrrrrrr) Home At Last

Have a Pawsome Weekend…paw pats and paw hugs

Hiya Savannah Here Again…Finally!!

Soooooo…Mom and Dad took off for a couple a nights…leaving me at home of course! whine…whinge…pouts…for some silly human thingy they called an “anniversary”…BIG DEAL…yeah yeah…I’m sure!

…and all I got was this lousy photo…go figure!!

okokok…so it was kind’a pretty…welllllll…so am I!

Anyways, I had a sleep over with Auntie Shannon, she stays with me always when Mom and Dad go away (she does the awful ‘cleaning Thursdays’ too but she is totally nice).  So I had company, but ya know I am a ‘Momma’s Girl’ so I missed my Mom sooooo much (Dad too, but he snores so I sleep piled on top of Mom)

So last night I TOTALLY forgot myself…I was so excited to have Mom back in bed…I did it AGAIN…yes, you got it….

BLANKET CAT CAUGHT AGAIN!

See my toes?????

 Yup! That Lump Is “MOI”

 So then I jumped up…and pretended all I really wanted was to play…

…cute…huh?!  So we play some…then we all go to bed…buuuttttt…I had a lot to talk about with Mom…so every time she moved, got up to go “you know where” ‘cuz she is sort’a old had too much water before bed…anyways…I talked to her and talked to her.  I let her know how much I missed her and Dad too, what I did with Auntie Shannon and I told her I tried to do my own POST on Wednesday but kind’a got my paws stuck in the keyboard so’s she had to fix it when she got home….oooopppps

Anyway, maybe I kept Mom up too late…so this morning I sort’a peeked around the corner of the bed just to make sure she was up….

WOO HOO!!! AND THERE SHE WAS! SMILIN’ AND LAUGHIN’ AND SINGIN’ TO ME…

HOPE YOUR THURSDAY WAS AS SPECIAL AS MINE

NO TIME LIKE PLAY TIME (REVISED)

(REVISED…ok, ok…Mom was away and I totally tried to post this myself…kind’a messed it up…my paws are furry and I hit some wrong keys…but Mom thinks she has it fixed…so here it is meowmeow)

People who used to know

 me would be soooo surprised!

YEP! I love love love to play!  Check out some of my moves!
This one is kind’a easy…just wish it was for real! Like attached to a birdie…ummmnummmers

Now here comes the green cat dancer feather thingy…always makes me crazy! Notice I am using the single left paw reach on this move…

…then when I lure it onto the bed, and finally get it right over me…it thinks I am like sleeping or something…crazy cat dancer!  Anyway, then I do the old single left paw reach high and grab!!! Pull it right out of the sky!!

Mine, all mine…yummy!!!
Ya’know, some people who used to know me at my last really wonderful shelter…well, they kind’a thought I wasn’t the playful kind’a cat.  Mostly ‘cuz I hid a lot ‘cuz I was totally afraid of everything and everyone…and I really hurt lots of the time ‘cuz no one knew I had a bladder infection…like my piddle felt like cut glass (ouch! yowl!)  Not anyone’s fault, no one could know ‘cuz there were 10 of us at the shelter, rescued from certain death if we were left at the public county shelter…no complaints from this cat for sure.
But…just sayin’…you can see I really DO play.  When I went home with my Mom, they told her not to bother taking any toys ‘cuz “Savannah never plays…”…not true…I may be 5 years old…but even a scared cat like me will often come out of her shell just to play with a toy.  Please remember that the next time you see a cat who seems to be stand off’ish…try a toy…gently like my Mom and Dad did…and I betcha’ that cat responds in a good way. Puuurrrrrr
Paw hugs and paw strokes to all homeless cats…makes tears in my eyes…hug your cats close
