Monday Meowsie News

Hiya, Savannah Here!

It has been a really bizzzy, bizzzy week…whew…I needed my Sacked Out Sunday, I tell ya!

So you know now that some of my recent progress in my recovery has been that:

1) I now wake up Dad at 5:50AM with meows and throwing myself against him for some pets…and to make sure he knows I am up and ready for brekkies.

2) I either follow right behind Dad going to the kitchen OR I wait until he calls me…I never used to do that AT ALL…just started consistently this past week…pretty cool, huh?

3) I scoped out Mom ‘s lap, 3 days now…just thinkin’ about it…more about this at the end of ths post…wait for it, wait for, wait for it…(you are gonna like it, I promise…)

4) At last, I am starting to stay in my office bed in the window while Mom types up my notes for my blog…(‘course I am asleep, and usually when I wake up, I leave…but..progress)

5) I played with Mom in a room other than our bedroom…I played with her this morning in the living room…we played with my Three Tunnels…

That’s my Monday Meowsie News about my recovery progress…now here’s some pretty cool stuff about one of my newest toys…a crinkly bag…

Mom put it on the bed with me…and I thought…”what?…on the bed?”…and I was suspicious…

…then it made a noise! OH! something must be in it…so I slid my paws inside to check it out…still keeping watch in case something was trying to get me from outside the bag…

…WHAT?! DID I HEAR SOMETHING??? On the deck??…

…no, no…hmmmm…over by the bedroom door????…what is that???…

…Holy CAT!!…IT WAS INSIDE THE BAG AFTER ALL!!!…rams paws inside to snag it…

…uummmmpppff…cant’ quite reach it…push, struggle…sttttrrreeetttccchhhh…almost….

…WHOA! tried to sneak past me on the side…quick shoulder roll to the side to keep it from getting out…

…GONE!!!…hmmmm…what was making all that noise?….Mom has the Black Feather Toy in her hand…nawwww…couldn’t have been her….hmmmmmm

That was my first session with the Paper Bag thingy…it’s nice…but a good ole’ brown paper bag is better…mostly ‘cuz it’s bigger!

NOW…again with the drum roll…boom boom boom and tappity tap tap…

I GOT ON MOM’S LAP…NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE…BUT 3 TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!…’COURSE I ONLY LASTED 2 SECONDS THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES…BUT LAST NIGHT I HUNG ON HER LAP FOR 10 SECONDS!!!

I even tried to sniff the afghan on her lap, but I got too nervous…and hopped down…gonna give it another try tonight…WOO HOOO

PAW PATS, Savannah!!

Savannah’s Sacked Out Sunday

One of my favorite cat blogs is The Blog of Otis…Leader Otis is very special and he informed me today that this was to be “Sacked Out Sunday”.

Easy peasy for me on this Sunday, ‘cuz Mom and Dad are gone…like almost all day…harrummmpphhff

My time was spent recovering from obvious lack of interest in me…and this was indeed a Sacked Out Sunday for me…

…thank goodness it was a nice day and I had a nice soft breeze to soothe my brow….

Paw pats, Savannah

Oh No!! I Damaged Mom!!!

Well, ya may have been wondering why I all of a sudden started to check out Mom’s lap…errrr…ummmm…oh gosh! Sooooo embarrassing….paws on side of face, shaking head…oh cat, oh cat…

So if you have been around my bloggy much, ya know I luvluvluv a good game of “Oh No! Mice in the Bed”….mostly me and Mom play it…but sometimes I get Dad about 2Am…MOL

Anyways, so a couple of nights ago…well—first ya need to know that we changed our bedspread from the Spring weight one to the Summer weight one. Mom calls it something like Seerer Suker (what’s a ‘Seerer’?? and what do they ‘Suker’??) So…this bedspread is thin, with a cotton sheet under it then peep skin…got it??

So the night I am talkin’ about was chilly, so Dad (he’s so nice like this…purrr) he gets a couple of afghans…one for him, one for Mom and both for ME ‘cuz I sleep in the middle.

They are in bed…Mom moves her feet…I raise my head…then Dad says to Mom something like…”Ya better not do that, you’ll be sorry…” and Mom just giggles…

And…the game is on with me and Mom…Oh No! Mice in the Bed!!!…

…I lay down, real quiet like…watchin’ and waitin’…

…WHAMMO…the mice move…and I go for the kill immediately…diving right in for them…

…whoa! where did they go??? Which way??…I must be alert!!…

…there!…over there!!!…grab quick…claws out to get a good killing grip…

..aiiee! they slipped past me!…now where???…wait for it, wait for it….

…GOT IT!!! Ah HA!!…get it fast…don’t let go…make this one the real final blow…

…Oh, what was that?? Did Mom say something??…I thought she said something like, errrr…ummmm…wellll…did she say ‘couch’ or ‘shout’ ….

…why is Dad getting up…going to the bathroom…now Mom is going too…Dad said something like “Told ya so” and Mom just giggles…and…oh gosh…is she kind’a limping???

…why do they have this stuff out????

OH NO!!!! I DAMAGED MY MOM!!!! SHE WAS BLEDDING!!! AWFUL!!!…

Can you see her boo-boo??? It is almost healed now…but for the last couple of days I have been letting her know how sorry I am and so I am trying to work on getting in her lap ‘cuz I know that will make her feel way better…

Just a little head’s up for all you guys readin’ this…whatever ya do…DON’T DAMAGE MOM!

…sigh…Paw pats, Savannah

PeeEss Mom gets her mani/pedi on Monday…whew!
