Monday Meowsie News

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!

So here is what is constantly amazing me and my furramily members…well…at least me and Mom Linda and Dad Peter…not sure The Kid Sage counts just yet…na’ mean??

Moving on…even though I am still hissing, spitting, snarling, growling and swatting whenever The Kid Sage is within 4 feet of me…I am still making progress on my recovery from whatever trauma I survived before I was left at the county kill shelter in their night drop box.

Check out my progress which just all happened over this last week…

Nice and comfy…relaxed…

Holding my front paw for over 5 minutes

Hind toesie massage for at least 3 minutes

Ahhh…stretch and role on back for tummy rubbing

Holding both hind paws

Resting hand on my neck for 20 minutes

Anyone who has been following my bloggy knows this is a closeness I have never ever allowed my human guardians I call Mom Linda and Dad Peter. I have been too terrified of human touching, and such closeness. But look at me now…and this even with the stress of The Kid Sage. I believe I am a very brave adult rescue cat…what do you think?

I still am terrified about being picked up and I have not been back to Mom Linda’s lap for a year. But…what a difference from this adult cat who arrived at the county kill shelter…and I weighed about 3 pounds less then too…I was a bit thin.

Now…just a bit more GREAT NEWS…Tuesday, April 1 is my SECOND BLOGIVERSARY!! I am having my party to celebrate on THURSDAY PURRSDAY…that should give me a LOT to purr about…don’t you think? My how fast the time has flown since my First…

Two years is a lot to celebrate, so be sure to come visit on Thursday Purrsday post this week. There will be a give away…for any and all no matter where you live. A little something that is not cat or woofie centric. I don’t want to leave out my pals who are piggies, or rabbits or horses or birds, etc….so Mom Linda and I put our heads together and we have a little something you can all maybe enjoy…

Friday Frolics…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

We have to keep this one short…shhhhhhhhh…Dad’s sleeping in and we don’t want to wake him with too much frolic stuff…got it?

So…I have had some increased play action this week…we have finally transitioned me off some medication we tried to help me adjust to The Kid Sage…didn’t work ‘cept to block up my plumbing so to speak…ahem…anyway…I am back to being pretty active during play sessions…getting some good workouts to keep my killer bunny kicks in shape…

And The Kid Sage managed to ~~trash~~ dedded another of her mousie wand toys…so she, of course, receive TWO to replace the one….kids!

She had so much fun and then she just sort of ‘toyed’ with it while she paused to rest near the chair Mom was sitting in…such a clown cat…

Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Most of my purrs this week are focused on bringing Dad Peter home from his month of being away from me, well, and Mom of course…*whips head around* “What Mom?”…ok, ok…being away from The Kid Sage too…”Satisfied Mom?”

I am also purring from some forgiveness… you see today over at The Tabby Cat Club, Gracie hosted an event…it was all about stepping forward with a ‘confession’ about something you have been wanting to get off your chest…you know…something that maybe a peep might call ‘poor behavior’. So I ~~refused~~ wanted to participate but I am such a good ladycat…I just ‘no can do’.

Then I was ~~rudely~~ reminded about that scab on The Kid Sage’s nose Mom found yesterday…so ok…I finally agreed to participate…you had to show a photo of yourself with your written confession…

Now I ask all of you…was this really necessary? What’s a little smacky paw to keep The Kid in line…na’ mean??

So on to other things…like today being Dad’s last day to be away from me…errrrr…’us’

I find that I have been trying to just nap my way through these last 3 days of no Dad.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

deep breffs…

The Kid Sage has been pouting and moping in our tower or in bed with Mom in the mornings…when I am downstairs BTW…

Will he ever return…*sniffle*

How long now…?

siiiiggghhhhh…..

We do have some progress we are excited to share with Dad…check out The Kid and I yesterday afternoon, into the evening…

As long as she stays over there…

…for a really long, long time…

We have been spending more time, under Mom’s watchful eyes, together in the living room. Last night we even had dinner served at opposite ends…not much…but a little progress is better than none.

We are fortunate to have a family who loves us tons so we are ever so thankful and wish that for every homeless adult cat and woofie…so we are purring even louder for them.
