Do You Have Special Spots for Pets?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I don’t know about all of you. Whether you are woofies or kitties, but I do know that I, Savannah the Cat, have some very special spots I reserve for the ultimate joy of being pet.

Mom L attended a session at Blog Paws in Arizona where one of the presenters, a Vet, talked about a special “pressure point” on a cat’s head. He said that when he greets a new patient he is always aware of this pressure point and tries to calm the kitty by applying the most gentle pressure on that spot.

I guess Mom L already figured out that “special pressure point” on me in our first months together. And now she knows I will hang out with her anytime she manages to hit that mark!

*sigh* Life is good—I can't imagine it getting better

*sigh* Life is good—I can’t imagine it getting better

And then Mom L reaches over and HITS THE MARK!!

Oh golly gee! that's just the spot!

Oh golly gee! that’s just the spot!

That is just the spot that Blog Paws presenter talked about. Right in the middle of a cat’s forehead, just a bit below the “between the ears” mark. MARVELOUS!!

And then Mom L has learned that I like another special spot moved just a bit to the right, and left, to hit just above each eye…

That's just the SPOT!!

That’s just the SPOT!!

What spots do you have that touch your special relaxation. Woofies and kitties please tell me. I think this big  dealio about “special pressure points” to chill’ax us is very important—especially when we are on a visit to places like the *shudder* Vet!

The Kid Sage’s Secret

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Now first I want you all to just calm down. I didn’t know TKS was keepin’ a secret from me until just the other night. Mom L caught her in just the right lighting and KAZAAAAM! Out came the smart phone to capture the REAL TRUTH about TKS’ fur.

Now I know you all think of her as this sleek, lithe, sweet and funny black panfur cat. Black light the darkest part of the night. And yet even in the dark of night, in moonlight, that black panfur coat shines and glistens.

This is sunlight!

Well ok, ok—so that’s not really in the dark of night in moonlight. More like in the light of a late afternoon sun, but you get my meaning, right?

Anyway, TKS has been hiding, we suspect for sometime now, a deep secret about her true fur color. Mom L discovered this and was aghast! She yelled for me and I came running!!

They could hear you across the street for cat's sake! What do you want??!!

“They could hear you across the street for cat’s sake! What do you want??!!”

Mom L exclaimed “Look what I just discovered about your sister Sage’s fur color!” To which I had to reply—calm down! The Kid’s furs look just fine to me. All panfur black like the night and shiny—I don’t see a thing wrong with them. And by the way, I do not now nor ever have officially claimed TKS as my “sisfur”. Please keep that in mind.

Mom L shook her head and said you just aren’t looking close enough.

Well like yeah! Why would I wanna get any closer to The Kid? I mean sheesh, what does Mom L think I have been doing for going on three years now but tryin’ to keep my distance from The Kid!

So I moved closer just to appease Mom L. I started to check out The Kid’s furs with my nose first…can you believe it!!??? She tried to give me a smacky paw!! The nerve of that kid!

Moving on, I continued my scrutiny of her panfur furs and still couldn’t see what the heck was so disturbin’ to Mom L.

Finally Mom L points to TKS’ ear furs. She says can’t you see THAT??!!

I stepped even closer and holy cat!! Now I could see what was so mind numbing to Mom L! TKS is NOT AN ALL BLACK PANFUR!!! She has been keepin’ secret for all this time the fact that she has WHITE, I say WHITE ear furs inside her ears!! BOTH EARS!!

TKS' white furs are showing for all to see

TKS’ white furs are showing for all to see

So now I have to decide if I ought to be callin’ her a panfur anymore or maybe I outta call her a Tuxie? Or maybe a ZeeCat? Don’t zebras have white furs in their ears?? Hmmmm…this is a tough one. Maybe she’s a Tuxie ear fur panfur cat? What do you guys think? What color is TKS really???

Do you think if there ever is a Black Panfur Cat Club they would even allow her to join??

What Does TKS Dream?

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I have a question for you, my dear loyal readers. You know that from time to time I have posted The Kid Sage aka TKS in many of her silly explorations. The one I can always count on is her obsession with the lid on the litter boxes every single time Dad P cleans them to replace our litter. What is it with her and those litter box lids? Na’ mean??

No litter needed

TKS seems to continue to believe that the litter box lid is supposed to actually “DO” something all by itself. Whatever do you suppose she dreams it will do?

Wow! I bet this baby can really pick up some speed!

Wow! I bet this baby can really pick up some speed!

You don’t think TKS dreams that she is in some sort of actual vehicle, do you?? Holy cat! I never thought about her actually believing that litter box lid could “move” on its own.

Naw, no way—I know TKS is a silly kid, but seriously, she is, after all my fur sib and I, Savannah the Cat, have had her under my careful tutelage for some two plus years now. She can’t be that off her rocker, right?

I have noticed that lately she has been wanting to get into my steampunk lab and workshop.

But I keep that hidden and have never let her know the secret location. And for sure I know I never meow in my sleep. I have plans in progress, ya know?

Savvy has plans

 

Oh well, she dream all she wants. But like they say, be careful what ya ask for…heh…heh!
