Belated Monday Meowsie News…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

First, check out my Mom’s FIRST EVER ATTEMPT at editing a photo of me…and thanks to Sammy for the tip on trying PIZAP.com…Mom sort of understands this one…

So here’s my official Happy Holiday Greeting to efurryone!

Savvys Santa Hat

Now my updates on some new stuff I have been doing just within this last week…getting better and braver…(most of the time)

…I always sit at the end of the couch, close to the fireplace…as far from Mom as possible. Then for a week or so after she came back from Mexico…I came over close to her…now when she is on the couch, I stay at the far end.

But when she isn’t there yet…

…I keep her spot warm for when she is ready to come sit on the couch with me…

…and I wait for her…and wait for her…

…and wait some more…

Another new behavior for me this past week…Mom learned from Brian, from Brian’s Home, where to buy the home made hammiks he and his Sisters love so much.  In fact, Mom bought two for me; one for upstairs and one for downstairs.  And, I systematically (VBP) ignored them both.

She put the one downstairs in front of my fave window, where I could catch a sun puddle, but nope…I would have nothing to do with it.

While she gets my blog done, I come sit on the floor behind her chair…hunkered…so she moved the hammik next to her chair…and the result…

..I think I’m gonna like this Mom!…yup, it snuggles pretty good…

…maybe I will get a little shut eye here…

So here is a really good new behavior…Dad found me doing this one…twice now.  He had presence (VBP) of mind to grab his iPhone for a photo the first time…so pardon the DEVIL eyes.  He came out of his office upstairs…turned to go down to the kitchen…and BOOM! There I was…

Window Ledge Seat 1

…that window sill just called out to me…I could never get on the window sills at our old house ‘cuz we had those wood shutter thingys that cover the sills…but even tho’ it is about 4 or so feet off the ground, I like it…

Lastly…I’ve been working on my Kill Face, the one Mama Cat was teaching Leader Otis and Brothers Henry and Oliver over at The Blog of Otis…(follow the linky for Kill Face and you can see Thomas when he was a limbo kitty, outside and not safe)

What do ya think????  I’m kind of liking it…hope Leader Otis can take a look once he is feeling better after his Hipsterectomy operation.

That is my belated Monday Meowsie News…now for the not so good news…I must confess to having regressed in some of my behaviors recently…I am again running from Dad when he comes near me especially if I am lying down.  We don’t know why.  And I don’t follow him down for breakfast anymore…I wait until he leaves the room…we don’t know why…sigh…but more paws forward than back.

Paw pats, Savannah

peeEss I tried to make the photos smaller but WP would not allow me to format them in any other way than this today. Sorry for so many on Wordless Wednesday

Monday Meowsie News…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

How can I say this…what Mom???…Oh…Ok…she says to say “the best laid plans of mice (seriously??!!) and men oft go astray“…whatever!!!

All that just to say…like I totally had my Monday Meowsie News all written and was ready to paw “publish”…then I get this email…and OH MY CAT!!! (sorry Miss Cat Forsley, no pun intended at all…ears turn embarrassed pink…)…

The email was from Miss Cat Forsley, this pawsome huLady song writer…who is passionate about animal rescue…and she and I had worked a bitty bit on a song, well…ummm…yeah…for me…I mean, what a compliment…and so Mom and I worked with Miss Cat…and then late today, Sunday…WHAM! There is it was…

So, my Monday Meowsie News will just have to wait until later this week…I like this song way better…purrrrrs

Now I am NOT THE FIRST paw blogger to have this incredible privilege offered…the ONLY REASON Miss Cat even knows I exist is because my bestest gurlfurriend Pyrenees canine pal, Clowie, from Clowie’s Corner referred Miss Cat to me!!!  Thank you so much Clowie!!  Miss Cat wrote a wonderful song for Clowie too…please hop to her post and listen…click here

And I know she wrote one for Rumpy Dog too…

Miss Cat is passionate about animal rescue, so please visit her website at  Cat Forsley, and her You Tube site…click here

Now, here is the song she wrote just for me…

I hope you enjoyed this video and Savannah’s Song by Miss Cat Forsley…

Humble paw pats, Savannah…(wipes leaky eyes, and drippy nose)

peeEss. Don’t forget to stop by Tuesday to meet a trust pawsome Real Rescue Cat Talking about  her rescue from being used as a breeder cat

Special Savannah Holiday Wreath

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Just going to make it simple today…hope you don’t mind me sharing more things about my first furrever Christmas in my final furrever  home.

This is special to me…and I hope my bestest gurlfurriend, Cathy Keisha, from Stunning Keisha (we met first on Twitter…she is a DJ for Nip Club!!) comes by to take a peek at what Mom found and bought special for me.

You see, Mom found me a wreath made out of my most favorite toy…PEACOCK FEATHERS!!!  Well, actually, the feathers are not real, I sniffed them and confirmed (VBP) that, but still…check it out! (click to biggify)

Isn’t it PAWSOME!  It is the only wreath in our whole house…and Mom hung it in a special place…

ct 18

Right up over our fireplace!!…she took down the Navajo Weaving that belongs there, but for the holiday, my Special Savannah Holiday Wreath rules our living room!!

And can you see the stockings?…Dad and Mom have the striped ones…a friend knitted them for them the year BEFORE they married…lucky they aren’t like in shreds because that was like a bazillion years ago! MOL!

Now can you see the one that says “MEOW” at the top??? Guess who that belongs to?????? YES!  ME! Mom brought it home and hung it using her special Tuxie Cat stocking hanger…she gave it to me for my very own this year…wait a minute…(wipes drippy nose and leaky eyes…sniff, sniff)…Ok..I’m Ok…it’s just a lot to take in…I never had so much that was just for me and done to make me feel special and part of a furrever family…I really, really like it.

Now you can see my WHOLE STOCKING!  It has fishies on it…and I hope Santa Paws stuffs it full!

That’s it for today, thanks for letting me share my experiences from my first Christmas in my furrever home.

Paw pats, Savannah

peeEss…Cathy Keisha has been posting about all the wonderful gift shops at the Nip Club Holiday Bazaar , she has worked her paws down to nothing fundraising, so hop over and check out her posts.

And another good furriend, Texas, A Cat in New York, also posted about a pawsome fundraiser called Winnie’s Wish Christmas Fundraiser, which Celestial Kitties is hosting, so scoot over to either of these two blogs to check that out too.

Great opportunities to shop for gifts AND give back at the same time. Have a peaceful Sunday.
