Monday Meowsie News…and Leo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Mom is still gone…she is visiting our new great niece in upstate New York…but she did send me some photos from Blog Paws.

I was able to teleport to Blog Paws for a couple of the presentations and i got to meet my BFGF Cathy Keisha!! how cool is that??

I even met up with my good furriend Nerissa and we played with some of the vendors’ Products in the Cat Lounge…

The other news about me is mostly a video for you to check out…this is one of the many ways I just luvluvluv to play using the step up and down between our living room and dining room…you know…I’m thinkin’ that step was probably put there just for me…don’t you think so too??

No, no…seriously…it was like it was planned or something…it is just the right size for me…just high enough and just wide enough to use as a great fitness tool. Anywho…here’s a look at some of my moves using that step…think maybe I’m gonna call it the Savannah Step Pump…hmmmm…wonder if I could market and sell it as a fitness program and the step is the equipment…(pads off to make notes on iPad…using Dad’s hand-me-down cuz Mom took mine to Blog Paws)

Now just to make sure you know I also have my sensitive side…and that I also try my paws at some art every now and then…this is how I like to create wall art using my iPad…

Where did the mouse go?

Aha! Under here!

No! Over here…MOUSES! There he is

Whap! Splat! He leaves pink splatter

Maybe another on over here

Oh..upside down move..got it!

And here is the completed piece of art…

Pawsome even if I do say so myself…heh…heh…

LEO UPDATE!!

Now…for the Leo update…first some photos from his feeding on Wednesday May 15 with Mom and Dad…

Hi Foster Dad (FD)

Can I tell you a secret??

Head bumps!

Foster Mom (FM) feeds me

I heard something!

Good news: Leo had some blood work done today, May 15, and it is much improved. He is less yellow in his ears, eyes, gums and lips. Not so good…he must, simply must start eating on his own volition…he is not out of danger until he can do that…purrrs, arwooos, whiffles, neighs, squeeks, woofs…all are needed to motivate him to eat on his own.

Now for the great news!! My buddies Alfie and Mollie (and of course Mum Stella) are holding an auction AND a raffle to help raise funds for Leo’s medical care. Click HERE to visit their site today Monday May 20 to learn more about this pawsome event!!

peeEss…Mom and Dad donated more hand painted cat and woofie stones!!!

A Secret Revealed…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!

Yup, Mom is still gone so the posts are short ones…lots of photos…she seems to be taking a side trip now that Blog Paws is over…somethin’ about a tiny biped she calls a “great niece”…whatever….

Frankly, I would think comin’ home to me was like way more impawtant; but apparently that is a big NO!!…harrummppff!

So, I thought I would share a little secret about Mom…ahem, well…it’s about me too…but mostly Mom. You see, when I first came to live here…the only part of my body I would let her touch even just a little was my tail…figured it was far enough away from the rest of my body I could make a run for it if I didn’t like what she was doin’.

Truth be known now…Mom totally is in love with my tail! Who knew!!??? She strokes it, gives it smoochies and sometimes we sit on the couch at night and I let her hold it for me while I nap…

I make some biskits and she holds my tail…nice for both of us…it can get tiring for a cat holding that tail up all day long…nice to have Mom hold it and pet it for me…puts me right to sleep….

That’s my Sunday Easy…

Being Thankful Is Easy…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Mouses! What a week since last Thankful Thursday and my Thursday Garden Report for Jonesie’s Society of Feline Gardeners.

But firstest…I want to apologize for being absent from all of my furriends’ blog comment queues…but my Mom , who takes my dictation and does my typing…well….ummm…ahhh…yup…she has been helping with hourly feedings for the house ~~introoder~~ guest…Leo…purrlease accept both of our apologies.

Anywho…moving on…

Lots of new stuff growin’ in my garden…outdoors AND indoors…heh…heh…yup…I now have a teeny little indoor garden JUST FOR ME!!

…here is a look at my indoor garden growing…

Haven’t sampled it yet… but maybe tonight.

But, let me talk about being thankful first. Most of you met my ~~introoder~~ guest feline Leo on my Monday Meowsie News post. If you did not, then click HERE to read all about him…

All of you kittehs and woofies know that being without a furrever home is…well..hmmm…what is it like??? Lemme think on that…(paw taps up, down, up, down…)

Ok…I think it is a lot like being what Leader Otis calls “Limbo Kitties“…my definition is a bit different than Leader O’s…but both are relevant to what I am thankful for today…here is what I think of as limbo kitties…and yes…limbo woofies too…

“a place where kitties/woofies are cast aside, forgotten“…

I know lots of my furriends are familiar with this place…same as me…same as my ~~introoder~~ guest Leo…

So tired

I am so, so humbled by my guest’s most admirable and incredible will to live…Leo is workin’ hard at hangin’ on to life…a life he so deserves. Leo was “owner surrendered” at our county kill shelter because he wanted “too much attention/was too affectionate”…WOW!!! A kitteh that is affectionate!!! HORRIBLE!!!…ummmm…then why did you get a kitteh in the first place?…just wonderin’….

…and yep Leo is very affectionate…

Paws crossed that Leo comes back here to be taken care of by Dad and Mom tomorrow…and doesn’t have to spend another day in hospital.Today he went to a hospital to have a feeding tube inserted…his specialist vet says he has a good chance to get through his Hepatic Lipidosis disease. Click HERE if you do not know about this illness for us kittehs.

Mom and Dad did not know about it, and it surprised Leo’s caretakers at my former shelter. It is so impawtant for all of us to learn from Leo’s illness.Thank Ceiling Cat that Leo now has the complete vet care he requires and that he has a chance to come through and find his furrever home at last…where his intense need to share his affection will be appreciated.

I am thankful, thankful that Dad and Mom and my former shelter Kitty Corner have stepped up to save Leo if they can.So purrlease join Pepi Smart Dog’s “Thankful Thursday” Blog Hop…click on the badge to go visit some great Thankful Thursday posts…

And now for my Thursday Garden Report for Jonesie…the Emeritus Founder of the Society of Feline Gardeners…

Paw Pats, Savannah

peeEss…Dad and Mom committed to pay for all of Leo’s vet care costs. It is over $2,000 USD. But his recovery is very, very hopeful…we would not have done this unless his chances of a full recovery were better than 80% which they are. If you are so inclined to help a bit with this costs…purrlease donate to Mom’s paypal at lcrodgers at sbcglobal dot net.

We know that so many have greater needs…just thought we would ask in case any furriend finds some change hiding in the sofa, under the sofa or somewhere forgotten…thank for thinking about Leo’s recovery…
