Laaazzzy Day…Seriously…I Can Just Hang Out

Bet’cha didn’t know I could chill…huh?! yar yar and MOL!

So just some pics from today…shows ya I am totally workin’ the program for all the steps in my mental recovery process…

Breakfast room birdie watching…oohh..and squirrels too at this feeding station on our deck..

This afternoon…more birdie watching…from my luxe tower…strategically placed so’s I can watch the finch feeding station…

OH YEAH!!!…notice I am almost on the top…haven’t gone all the way…but……….

then I got caught being totally relaxed, hanging out in my tower…sheesh..no privacy around here…that camera has gotta go!

Now…gotta find my afternoon snacky…then play time with MOM! Yippee! This morning was cleaning morning..my Auntie Shannon, she cleans for us AND more important…she stays with me when Dad and Mom go away. Yep..I have my own staff when they go…she keeps me on my recovery program…Dad and Mom make sure she knows what step I am on for mental and fitness programs…

OOppps.. almost forgot…I don’t wanna seem to have developed any “cattitude” about the iPad… but check out these…

Have to think about which game to play first…

Need to get a better perspective…just can’t decide….

OK…picked the game…this one has some mice running around and I can score when I whack one of ’em..and they even squeek!! MOL MOL..

Rats! (oooppss no pun intended) Oh My Cat!…I just know they are under this iPad…

Seriouslllllyyyy….who really cares anyway…..

ANYWAYyyy….We worked all day today on a new PAGE…check back later…under stuff I Love Love Love…about Reasons to Adopt An Adult Cat…pretty cool even if I do say so myself…have to run…TTFN Savannah

PSSSSSTTT…Get’in Better with Trust…Maybe???

YEP..that’s me in my current sort’a hidey place…sometimes the afghan is hangin’ down more so I can be even more private…but it’s in our bedroom so at least I am still with Dad and Mom.

SO….here’s the kind’a reallllyyy cool thing this week…I totally have surprised me, Dad and yep, even MOM! First…Dad always feeds me…they do that so’s I sort’a have to depend on him..remember…I’m still pretty nervous around male humans…

YESTERDAY—tootttaallly forgot myself and when Dad called me to the kitchen where they put my food now…I leaped off the couch where I was hang’in with Mom and ran to Dad…WHOA…SERIOUSLY FORGOT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AFRAID OF HIM…BUT…he had the FOOD!!! WOW MEOW!

That was pretty cool tho’, huh?!

Next…ya know I still don’t get in Dad and Mom’s laps…too scared again…but YESTERDAY (BIG DAY YESTERDAY), took a nap with Mom…when she was sleeping…I strolled over…AGAIN FORGOT MYSELF…and crawled right up on her legs…snuggled right down…and there I was….sort’a in her lap–only upside down lap (snigger MOL) ‘cuz she was on her tummy….and DAD GOT PHOTOS…check these bad boys out!

HOLY COW…that is totally me, right there..and yep..that’s my Mom napping away with me right on top of her…then Dad comes in and takes the next one up close to make sure he has proof I’m gettin’ braver…harrruummmpfff!!!!!

THEN..I hang out some more with Mom…Dad shootin’ pics the whole time…I can’t help myself….luv luv luv having my whole head rubbed, scratched…even my eyes and nose…ooooohhhhhhh

ahhhhh….and the total “piece de resistance”….Mom gets the brush….OMG…it doesn’t get any better than this.,..holy smokes…I practically drooled…then purrrreeedddd so loud even Dad could hear it (he’s kind’a hard of hearing..just a bit…really….not much)…

GOLLY…when she rubs my head with that brush…well, just sayin’……

And now you say…SAVANNAH…HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY HAVE AN EVEN BETTER DAY TODAY…..WELLLLLL…..

TRUST…doesn’t come easy to an ADULT RESCUE CAT LIKE ME…but I say it is getting way better when I can finally have a nap while MOM edits and types my post…and I even showed my tummy…WOOOO HOOOO….PROGRESS IN THE TRUST department for sure!!!

I’ve had a great 2 days…tons of progress on my mental recovery….long way to go…but thanks for reading…I’ll trust some of you will come back tomorrow…MOL MOL

10 Commandments for Animal Care

Hey Again, before I go down from my office…yeah, yeah, I know…how can a cat have an office, huh? Well Mom shares the counter with me…the deal is, I think all day…then channel my posts to her brain and she does the keyboard posting stuff.

So, as I was saying…I have been really thinking lots about when Mom and Dad adopted me…and there was this really cool paper thing in the folder Kitty Corner gave them…actually made Dad and Mom cry when they read it…it says everything about how they both feel when it comes to being responsible for a pet animal in their home…they sure followed these commandments with their 3 senior cats who all died at 17 year old…last one about 3 months before they fostered me.

So…I wanted to share this with you guys…the photos on the page are of me, the gray cat, and Dad and Mom’s 3 senior cats whose memory lives on with them…and yeah, I think those guys, Popcorn, Boris and Tasha are hanging around in the universe helping me out as I work through my mental and fitness recovery…hope you agree with these 10 Commandments…
