peeEss…yesterday was my annual VET check up…you know I won’t allow being picked up…so Mom got me in Dad’s office…then I had no where to hide and she picked me up, held me close for a second and put me in my PTU.  Off to the VET, a new person as my first one is now retired and good friends with Mom and Dad…it is her cats they are visiting all this week…

anywho…(I am purrfect BTW), got my nails trimmed, temp taken, weighed (lost 2 pounds of my shelter tummy fat since last Jan…woo hoo!!…now a trim 11.3 pounds…just right for my size); got my rabies shot; toofies checked; heart checked; etc. They brought me home…Mom took the advice from all the interviews I have done, and instead of just opening the PTU and letting me run and hide…she took me back to Dad’s office; picked me out of the PTU, held me close a moment, then held me in her lap a moment and gave me soft pets…I stayed OK, no struggles; then Mom showed me my treat…my fave prescription kibble. I really had an appetite by then, so I dug in! I did not run and hide, let Mom pet me while I ate. And I came right down later for my dinner with Dad, and to get more pets and play time.  It was a NON-EVENT!  So Mom associated a treat, my kibble, with being picked up and held.  Thanks everyone for helping make my VET visit a pawsitive experience for all 3 of us.

Monday Meowsie News…

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Gosh, where do I begin…I have been doing some kind of risky stuff lately…I know, I know…it amazes me too that I am still finding lots of new things to do…

First, I don’t go into Dad’s office, upstairs, when he is in it…I have my second potty pod in there and he has a window seat where he puts my night time snack…I do use my potty pod and get my snack when he isn’t in there.

But, one day Dad and Mom were having a “Dad and Mom Meeting” in his office…I walked in, threw myself down, facing DAD…and hung out with them for about 15 minutes… I thought I should snoopervise the meeting after all…and once it was over…I just casually walked out…

…snoopervising and catfacilitation…very hard work…

…then one night, I was having the best ever nap on the couch with Mom…Dad always turns on the gas fireplace for me…

…and I heard something unbelievable on the TV…so I sat right up and watched TV with them for about 20 minutes…

I can’t recall what channel was on, but it was really, really rivetingpaw

Finally, the bestest news of all…look what Dad captured on camera…yup…this is me…letting Mom give me soft tummy pets, over and over and over again…Dad took like about a dozen photos…

…you can see…I was really getting into it…

…then I got a teeny bit scared…so I gave Mom “The Look”…

IMG_0264

…smart Mom…she just kept it up…and I relaxed into it again…this was a really, really big deal…

Sorry the photos are blurry, all Dad had was his iPhone…but at least we have proof…I do like a soft tummy pet…at least from Mom…(sorry Dad…maybe later on, ‘Kay?)
