Too Old To Play? Not Hardly!

You know, I hear it said sometimes that cats, like me, who are…ahem…koff, koff…a bit over the age of like 4000 minutes…don’t like to play anymore.

And I say to that…pfffttt!!

We are CATS!! And CATS are born to play…hunt…search out new horizons…

Ok, ok…sorry…started to sound a bit similar to Mom L’s favorite of all favorite type movies etc…*whisper over shoulder*  She and Dad P are ‘trekkies’…*embarrassed ears*

Moving on; I gave a demonstration today , with Mom L’s help, to make sure you all know…we cats who are over 4000 minutes old still cherish our time to hunt, attack, sneak,…etc.

 

This MY dedded feather!

This MY dedded feather!

And then we need to be able to sneak about…right?

What?!  Surely, you do not know I am here!!

What?! Surely, you do not know I am here!!

Of course we also must be allowed to be secretive…

 

Nope! No one in here

Nope! No one in here

Come on Mom L, you are giving me away!

Come on Mom L, you are giving me away!

O Cod!!  She just will NOT quit!

That does it! I don't want to  engage with you anymore!

That does it! I don’t want to engage with you anymore!

That ought to be proof enough…we cats of a slightly advanced age still desire, demand and must have our time to hunt, attack, sneak…and if we are indoors…we call that PLAY!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Aiiieeeee!!!  I heard Mom L say to Dad P when they returned from visiting Cuzin Leo…

Mom L: “Oh isn’t she cute?”

Dad P: “Yes, she reminds me of Boris, even though she is a ginger girl *chuckle from Dad P*”

Mom L: “Where do you think we should keep her to make sure she is safe?”

Dad P: “Let me think about that a bit.  You know how inquisitive Sage can be.”

Oh My Cat!!! I knew right then, we I were was in deep cat litter!!  After all I have been through with The Kid Sage…now THIS!!

Ok, I could not help myself, I must have let out a loud ROAR!!! meow, because soon The Kid Sage was coming downstairs to learn what I was so concerned about.

 

YRH!!! I am on my way! Never fear when I am near *snicker*

YRH!!! I am on my way! Never fear when I am near *snicker*

Hmmmm…was TKS (The Kid Sage) snickering???  Naw…no way…she wouldn’t do that to me; would she?

Did I hear something? Was that a meow? From where??

Did I hear something? Was that a meow? From where??

I knew she had my, errrr…ummm..ahhhh…’back’…when she checked behind her to make sure the upstairs area was secure.

All clear Savvy.  Nothing up there

All clear Savvy. Nothing up there

Now it’s my turn to check out the downstairs area…

Nothing in my  office

Nothing over there…

Wait! what did I just hear??…

Nada to the right...I think...hmmm...that's the dining room...??

Nada to the right…I think…hmmm…that’s the dining room…??

What is left?

*ahem no pun intended* Could that sound be coming from the garage?

*ahem no pun intended* Could that sound be coming from the garage?

Alright then, come on Mom L, give that other cat up…I am not sure I can go through this again…please tell me I do not have to. Please tell me there is nothing for me to fear.  Please reassure me I will be safe.

What did you say?  The ‘new cat’ is a WHAT??

You’re joking, right???

I am a purrfect new cat

I am a purrfect new cat

She…errr…ummm…he…ahhh…it…..is a ‘what’?? ( you MUST hover to view captions to learn ‘what’ the new cat is…)

There you have it.  The newest cat member to my castle is a Salt and Pepper Shaker!!! WHO KNEW??!!

PLEASE!!! If any of you have really cool animal salt and pepper shakers…let’s start sharing them!!

My Mom Linda’s Grandmother collected Salt and Pepper shaker sets all through her lifetime; some 94 years!

Mom L wishes Grandmother could see this special cat S & P shaker set.  It was in an antique store near where we live and the two pieces are held together by a magnet.

Ok, ok…we are sure someone, somewhere will be sure to tell us to NEVER EVER USE IT because that magnet is NOT HEALTHY.

But, nonetheless; isn’t this ginger kitty S&P shaker set too cute for words?

Adult Cats Making Change: Tail Whiffies Matter!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Who knew how a change in a relationship would be positively affected with a whiff of another cat’s tail???

Seriously? You think I want to snuffle her tail?

Seriously? You think I want to snuffle her tail?

No way…I am definitely NOT going to even try to get a whiff of Her Royal Highness Princess Savannah…well, maybe not when she can know about it

Nope, not ever never gonna 'whiff' her tail...might be painful

Nope, not ever never gonna ‘whiff’ her tail…might be painful

So the first part of this ‘breakthrough’ goes like this…

Mom L opened the front door, leaving the screen door  latched.  I, Savannah, was so excited I zipped over to check out all those fresh, fragrant outdoor whiffies….ahhhhhhhh….bliss….

Unknown to me….The Kid Sage…slipped in right behind me…and took total advantage of my innocent rapture in the fresh out of doors smells…

SHE WHIFFED MY TAIL…

Mom L did not get a photo…but she did, apparently…totally enjoy seeing The Kid Sage take such advantage of my ‘exposed’ tail…pffffttt!

Well, I say…turn about is fair play…right??!!

Who ME? Take advantage??? Why, never, no, not at all

Who ME? Take advantage??? Why, never, no, not at all

I waited, and waited…until just this week when my opportunity came along…

The Kid Sage was once again going after the “cat treat pillow stash”…

 

What?  I was just looking!

What? I was just looking!

Yeah, right Kid!…

She is right behind me, right? Oh please Ceiling Cat protect me!!

She is right behind me, right? Oh please Ceiling Cat protect me!!

My opportunity to return the ‘tail whiffie’ finally arrived…

 

I am not going to be tempted

I am not going to be tempted

I resisted…honestly I did…but the urge just was too strong…

You want me do "what" with that tail??

You want me do “what” with that tail??

Yes, I DID indeed inhale…sigh…

After that bit of ‘inhalation therapy’…I just could not resist…especially after The Kid Sage decided to whap my with her tail flicking…I did, I did, I confess…I hissed…but I DID NOT WITHDRAW nor did I attack her.

That is our “Progress Report” for now.  Day by day…patience, love, kindness and understanding from our human guardians…brings me further and further into a world of trust and acceptance.
