The Cat Caretaker Syndrome

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I don’t know what it is with everyone else, but when our cat caretaker arrives aka cat sitter, we immediately behave different from when Mom and Dad are home. Do you?

As soon as Miss Heather arrived, she snapped this photo of us…and then she found us just like this for the first couple of days she was here…’

Where are Dad P and Mom L and what have you done with them?

Where are Dad P and Mom L and what have you done to them?

Next, she totally busted me. When Mom L and Dad P are home, I always act fearful of eating in the kitchen with Sage in the mornings. That leads Dad P to do just what I want. He brings my soft food breakfast upstairs and serves me while I am snuggled next to Mom L. Perfect!

Then, when it comes to serving up my soft food dinner, I again act reluctant to dine with Sage, so I get served wherever I chose in the living room. Sweet!

Miss Heather sent this photo to Mom L and Dad P…and she tattled on me telling them I eat at my dining station in the kitchen, for both breakfast and dinner, all the time she is here! Bummer! Now they know my strategies for manipulating them at dining time, I have to come up with something else…any ideas pals??

We delivered on woofie and cat treats and toys to our local public rescue shelter. What a great feeling to know that so many cats and woofies will get some treats to keep them feeling special and a new toy to let them know so many care about them. Hope they find permanent homes and can take their new toy along.

These are the things we donated…

All for the cats and woofies

How Do You Help Your Humans?

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

As most of you know, our humans are always in need of close snoopervision and often require us to take an active part in prepping our blog posts.

I have been attempting to train The Kid Sage (TKS) to assume most of these duties as I, personally, do not like getting that close to Mom L on her desk. For TKS, obviously, no problem.

Are you really going to use THOSE photos? *shakes head in disbelief*

As you can see, Mom L requires close snoopervising when it comes to putting together one of my blog posts. TKS is really coming along nicely in her training. She is learning to get involved up close and personal with Mom L.

Unfortunately, TKS is still young and has a rather short attention span. She can often get distracted while engaged in a work session.

What's up there? Can I get a closer look?

Mom L: “Sage, don’t you dare try to climb my shelving!”

oh!! Tissue!! I love tissue!!!

oh!! Tissue!! I love tissue!!!

Mom L: “And you leave those tissue in that box where they belong!”

As you can see, TKS and Mom L do have some work breakdown every now and then but under my careful guidance and coaching, I am sure they will work more effectively and efficiently…*please Ceiling Cat let this be so*

peeEss…Mom L goes into hospital tomorrow, Thursday, December 11 for a total knee replacement surgery. She will be in hospital for 3-4 days. I have been making sure she has my blog posts scheduled to run through her recovery period which will likely be through the New Year. My apologies for not being able to visit at all from December 11 to at least December 26. Perhaps by then she will have a functioning brain back. If you have ever had such a surgery or know someone who has, then you know it is a great big ouchie owie!!! Dad P will try to get some photos of us girls as we take care of Mom L. Miss Julie, from Sometimes Cats Herd You, is going to help Dad P try to post the photos, at least on my Face Book page.

I am going to re-post four of my interviews from my Real Rescue Cats and Dogs Are Talking series. I know some of you may not have seen them before. One has some updated information. 

Now about my Holiday Cards. We have sent as many as we can, but Dad P is doing this so he doesn’t have all the addresses from last year. I am very very sorry that I will likely miss sending my Holiday Cards to all my furriends…but I have created a card to post on Chrissymouse Day. ..I hope you will understand that it may be the only card some of you receive from me. Thank you for your furriendship and understanding.
