So truth be told…”I” Savannah and The Kid Sage may just be (not yet confirmed) relatively spoilt adult rescue cats…just a thought…no conclusions as yet.
Which bring me to my Thankful Thursday blog post…I do try very hard to honor Pepi Smart Dog’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop by making sure my Thursday blog post is about the events that make me purr like crazy.
Hope you will all hop over to Pepi’s and visit lots of other Thankful blog posts…click on the badge below to be transported…
I pawticipate
This week I am a bit embarrassed to be posting about something very selfish which caused me to purrr….Dad P and Mom L decided that our home needed more ‘catification’…and brought home a totally modern new cat tower!! (be sure to hover over photos for cations and to click to bigify to view complete captions)
This is, of course, after all the ‘drama’ of it arriving with these fateful words…”Some Assembly Required”. Those little words drive FEAR into Dad P’s heart…he shudders, shakes and moans…no, no…seriously…I am totally NOT kidding…just ask Mom L (in a secret coded message)
This cat tower caught Dad P’s eye when the cats at Katnip Lounge won this model at Blog Paws when all the contents of the Cat Lounge were given away. The gang over at The Lounge report they LOVE this tower.
And so it arrived….
Wow! That’s a lot of parts
Dad? Can you do this?
Seriously…you’re kidding
Love ya Dad P but I am outta here
And then the snoopervison began…such as it was…heh…heh…
Good so far Dad
Yep, should fit…
hmm…kind’a boring…
I can help from here…
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
And so Dad P labored on…alone…continued over several blog posts…a certain NOT TO BE MISSED series of how the White Tower was built, and then used, at Castle Savannah…heh…heh…
HRH Savannah said I can have the blog post today…not sure why…I think she may be starting to kind’a accept me as a roomie…ya’ think?
I seriously have no idea what the topic means…”Feline Manipulation”…maybe it is about…
“cat/s”… ‘mani-Pee ewe-lay shun”…what do you think? Did I get HRH Savannah’s intent??? Is that about ‘cats’ and ‘paws’ in ‘pee’ with ‘lady sheep’ in ‘sun’???
Sigh….I never ever know just what HRH Savannah wants me to say and do…
OH!!! I have it!! Totally!!! I am going to share my conversation with Mom L about “our” dinner sharing…(hope HRH Savannah thinks this covers “feline manipulation”)
Wow! What’cha have Mom?
…
That’s a lot…
…
You gonna eat all that?
…
Ohhh…look at that piece you have…
…
Can I have some?
…
No?…really?…
So there you have it…no feline manipulation whatsoever…Right??? No, seriously, tell me if you see any feline manipulation in my communication with Mom L over OUR dinner entree…
First a big shout out THANK YOU to all those who have been leaving such encouraging comments for me and The Kid Sage over the last few weeks as we continue to work on being together.
We have come a long way from here…11/14/2013
Aiiee…airplane ears all around
To arrive here…06/15/2014
I am especially grateful to all of you who have left such positive reinforcement for me…helping me think about what having a kid sister can mean relative to having a playmate, a pal to nap with etc.
Now, not that ANY of the above has been going on in this house…oh no!…no way…not in the least…unless by accident or if I am caught napping. But, more about that ‘caught napping’ part in a bit.
But wait until you see what has been happening in just the last 7 days!
I have begun to find enough courage to actually leave my bed in the living room, and carefully walk, not slink, across the room while The Kid Sage is in a chair with Dad P or sitting on the floor near him…and I slowly make my way into the kitchen to get a snack or find Mom L for some pets. TA-DA!!
I am doing this pretty regularly now and Mom L and Dad P are leaving us out together when they run errands and go to the gym. Never more than maybe two hours, but still…my paw tracks on moving forward!
July 1, we started out pretty close in the living room…a new ‘close’ for us…with both of us totally relaxed…so they left us alone for a couple of hours…I was right in my bed when they returned and The Kid Sage had moved to the upstairs tower…not bothering me at all!
Only three feet away
The Kid Sage chilling…
HRH Savannah with no concerns
Now in the mornings when we are all watching the news and reading iPads and whatnot…in bed of course…The Kid Sage has begun to walk from the bottom of the bed right up to Mom L (passing me and my hisser like she hears nothing) to get what is now her expected morning brushies and scritches. And she has found her way onto Mom L’s lap!
Not sure how I like seeing The Kid Sage so up close and personal with ‘my’ Mom L…have to think on that one for sure.
Totally relaxed…snoozing away
And we have even shared morning snacks right in bed using Mom L’s legs as a dining table…I had to cut out Mom L at her request as she was still in her nightgown….*snicker*…but the iPad is on her legs and I am facing The Kid Sage and sharing some snacks with her…will wonders never cease!??
And yes, the wonders have NOT CEASED…the tale of the tail meeting the nose…
What is whapping my nose?
How was I to know she was right there…I was just flipping my tail with pleasure because I was getting some head rubs…
As you can well imagine…The Kid Sage could not contain herself after about 5 minutes of me flipping my tail on her head. She reached out lightning fast to grab my flicking tail…only Mom L was faster and grabbed her outstretched paw with those talons of hers out ready to catch my tail!!
Finally…the Tale of the Two Tails…yes…our tails have now met…unknown to either of us. I was asleep next to Mom L and The Kid Sage was sound asleep on her lap…and it just sort of happened…
Neither of us really knew what was happening…we were both so at peace sharing snuggles with Mom L in the morning in ‘our’ bed. One day I may let The Kid Sage actually spend the night in ‘our’ bed…but not yet.
