West Coast Edition—Perspective

HIYA!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Breaking news of the day— USCATS!! And our view of so much stuff I can’t even count how much stuff.

Studio 2Savvy

 

I am joining my Best Feline Girl Friend (BFGF), Cathy Keisha, as co-anchor, for our new feature “From a Cat’s Perspective™”. We will be discussing topics, some serious and others kind’a playful like the one that is launching our show. Our feline perspectives will be front and center ‘cuz humans clearly have a tough time understanding us, meaning “us cats”. Humans can be pretty ignorant about how  cats see the world, our place in it, and what we know meets our particular interests and demands needs.

Professor Keisha tossed it over to me after her East Coast edition was posted. And now it’s time for you to hear from Professor Savannah on this important topic. Our lead story today  is “Do Cats Need Heated Cat Beds”? As you already know, cats do not always agree with each other and have the occasional debate held “cat style”. That means there are usually smacky paws involved. But Professor Keisha and I will not bring our new series to that level. But we try not to share our responses with each other about any of our topics.

Humans seem to get the fact that cats’ body heat is warmer than humans and they seek us out when they go to bed to steal our heat—especially during cooler months.

For lots of us cats it is confusing when we get pulled closer during the cold months and then roughly tossed aside during warmer months. You see, there it is. Humans can’t make up their minds.

Whereas we cats, why we like our warmer body heat all year long, right? Now, I have to say, I do enjoy having my human turn up her winter electric blanket which is on our king size bed. I like my side to be on low temp just to get my place warm before I settle in for a nice nap under my Winter cat tent. But, it must be turned off shortly after I get comfy as I don’t like being too warm.

Thanks for the teeny added heat

And then of course, while not an electric heated bed, I do very much enjoy having my “sun puddle” heated bed. Nothing makes me purr more than climbing onto my cat tower to find that  Mr Sun has made my nap spot nice and toasty.

Ahhh...much nicer view from here

My answer for today’s From A Cat’s Perspective™—”Do Cats’ Need A Heated Cat Bed?” is “.120985479 per cent YES” and  “.890011222 per cent NO”. Make sense? I’m sure the math works because I consulted with our feline math wizards at Trout Towne Tabbies.  Bottom line, why spend green papers on a heated cat bed when we cats can take advantage of our humans’ electric blankets and/or the warmth Mr Sun provides naturally. Either one costs nothing, zip, zero out of our cat expense column on the humans’ budget, right??

If you are hooked on our new feature, you can be on record with your own perception about today’s topic by leaving a comment below. And if you are clueless about what the East Coast Edition response to today’s topic is, then hop over to my Co-Anchor’s blog.

And as always, we continue this conversation in our “green room” which is located on my Face Book page as well as Professor Keisha’s.

We are also taking suggestions in comments and on our Face Book pages for future topics, ranging from serious to a bit playful.

Sunday Selfie Voted Number One!

HIYA!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I had some fun playing around with Photo Shop Elements and then Pic Monkey for my frame. Thanks to those who left some great suggestions in comments about the tools you use to edit your photos. My Playful Savannah Photo Contest was made up of a few good photos Mom L captured during one play session with me. Thank you for appreciating them all! But only one could be the winner.

So what do you think about my Playful Savannah Sunday Selfie??

The Winner for Best Playful Savannah Photo

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My oh my, most of you who voted on my  Monday, February 22 blog post “Monday Fun with Savannah” to identify which of five photos best captured my Playful Savannah certainly agreed. Sixty eight per cent of the 49 votes were for photo NUMBER ONE!!  That one was overwhelmingly selected as capturing my inner playful kitten face! Thank you all for participating.

NUMBER ONE WINS!

68 per cent of the votes!

Number One

The closest follow up photo was Number Four, but even that one had only twenty-two and one half per cent of the votes. Too bad, because that one is Mom L’s fave! She likes how green my eyes are in that indirect sunlight and also the fact that my bottom teeth are showing and my mouth is open like I am about to speak to her.

Now here is the next question for any of you who will leave a comment with some advice for Mom L and me. You see, you just selected the photo I am going to enter as my Selfie for the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop hosted by my buddies over at The Cat On My Head.

But, Mom L and I need some advice and coaching on using a fun on line editor to make my photo “pop”—so to speak. We only use Photoshop Elements, Pic-monkey and piZap. We have a PC laptop so it needs to be something we can use on it. Let me know in comments what are some of the most fun and creative online editors that you use for events like Sunday Selfies, Caturday Art with Athena and whatnot. We don’t want to be stuck in the same old paw track!!
