Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Words or No Words…I am recovering

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Just a teeny intro to my semi-wordless Wednesday post.

I want to tell all of my furriends how far I have come in my recovery from being a completely traumatized adult shelter cat who had no trust for any human.

Look at me now, having gone through a move from the only  home I have known for 8 months to a new home.  I am confident, I have claimed almost every room for ME, ME, ME…heh…heh

And I am making use of the boxes as they empty them…all with trust in my Dad and Mom and knowing we are together and they will keep me safe and loved.

Just yesterday, I was so eager (VBP) to get to my dinner Mom was serving…I tried to take a short cut under my pal Nanuk’s belly (he is my plush Sibe pal I do morning perimeter patrol with)…and I was too big to go under him and he fell over on top of ME! Eight months ago I would have run UTB in terror…but yesterday, I just stepped aside so Mom could set him back up, and then I walked over, calmly, to my dinner.

Let’s hear some APAWS!  APAWS! And thank you all for reading my words on wordless Wednesday…

…boxes for ME!…

…OK, I know some of you look at detail…and yes, Dad said that is indeed a booze box…sigh…so embarrassing…

…what?…I’m just sitting here, minding my own business…OK?

…and sad but true…I had to perform for my dinner last night…

…Mom just can’t shut up and let me do my thing…no wonder I got nailed by Nanuk right after this performance…but I let her know just what I thought at the end, huh?!…the Global Cat Mark of Disdain…heh…heh…

Paw pats, Savannah

Monday Meowsie News…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I have lots of news: An Award; A Pressie; A Card…

The Award:

Well, as you ALREADY know…our move made me late on lots of things. Besides not getting to visit all my furriends everyday, I also missed posting about an award I had passed to me…and I got it not once, but TWICE!  How cool is that?

Misaki, The Misadventures of Misaki, was the first furriend to pass the Wonderful Team Member Readership Award to me. Thank you  my doggie girl furriend!

And then before I could thank Misaki properly (VBP), I received the award again just last week while I was moving…this time from my very good furriend Nerissa, over at Nerissa’s Life.  He is thoughtful like that ya know…

As always, I continue to be appreciative of all who think of passing an award to me.  Your thoughtfulness is so appreciated.  I do try really hard to post every day and to make some contribution to helping other adult rescue cats and dogs live as their REAL SELF in furrever homes.  So thank you Misaki and Nerissa for thinking I am a team member…’cuz I sure do try to be!

Basically the award protocols ask me to  display the award…DONE

Pass it on to 14 people…NOT DONE

And complete this phrase ‘A good reader is…’

“A good reader is one who gives up their precious time, which is not a limitless commodity, to stay in touch with furriends as often as life allows”.

I am continually humbled by the dedication all of you show in your words and actions to help rescue animals around the world, and to help all of us be more effective staff managers for our Guardians by sharing whatever you learn about the best practices related to our nutrition, care and overall health…(places paw to forehead)…I salute you all.

About passing the award to 14 other blogs I follow.  It is so hard to select only 14 when I follow over 100 and luvluvluv efurryone…so please, all of you, take the award and treasure it knowing we are all part of one huge Reader Team!

The Pressie:

I GOT A PRESSIE!!!   SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…OMC!…what’s this…hmmm…smells different…

…WOW!…even upside down I can see my name!…and LOOK! IT IS FROM ENGLAND!!

…gotta get in this thing…I bet’cha my pal Alfie sent me something…my VERY FIRST EVER pressie and addressed to ME!

…squeeeeee again!!!!!…I got a new nip toy and some yummy salmon treats!!…

…and look at my card!…It’s a house warming card for me in my new home!!…wipes little leaky eyes…sniff, sniff…I never had anyone think of just me before beside Mom and Dad…

…and look!…a note!…OH WOW!…this is from Alfie and Mollie and their Mommy too!!…how very, very special…

…Mom filled the toy with some nip and I took it out for a sniff…thank you so very much Alfie, Mollie and Mommy…I am so fortunate to have furriends like you guys…

The Card:

…ANOTHER CARD CAME!…addressed just to ME!!!….Miss Martha volunteers with my Dad on this special jury thingy for our County and she sent me a house warming card…please notice that it is MY NAME!…she did not address to Dad and Mom…she sent it just for ME…she  takes time to read my blog sometimes too!…cool, huh?

…and some flowers came for all of us from Mom’s good girlfriend Miss Easter…nice, huh?…

That’s my news for today.  I hope you all have a great Monday

Paw pats, Savannah

Sunday Funnies…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I am having an easy peasey Sunday…just me and a new sun puddle…you can see Dad took the glass out of this coffee table we are storing…but look at the great sun puddle enclosure is created for me…

…nice, huh?…

…and then I thought you would get a real MOL and BOL listening to Mom trying to make me feel comfortable the first time I explored outside our bedroom…

…I am in the guest bedroom for first time…can you believe it?!  The Woman never shuts up!…like I’m a kitten or something…

Come back and check out my Monday Meowsie News…some Awards, some new stuff I’ve been doing and some house warming pressies and stuff…Paw pats, Savannah
