A Double Your Pleasure Kind’a Selfie

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

The Kid Sage aka TKS and I have a couple of Sunday Selfies to share. Not our best by any means, but things have been really hectic around here what with meeting up with Summer and her human Ms.  Janiss and whatnot.

My effort was actually what I would call “bath interrupted”.

I am bathing! Not now!

I am bathing! Not now!

What is it with humans? They think they can interrupt our most intimate moments to catch a quick ‘selfie’…and I say pfffftt to that!

And TKS was not much more amused at her own imposed selfie…

I have a sun puddle; move on Mom L

Yup, that is what it is like to have the humans chase us around for the ‘photo moment’…heh…heh…just sayin’…but TKS and I kind’a like it. Shhhhh….don’t tell.

PeeEss...stay tuned for my wrap up post on Monday, November 9th for my “I Am An Adult Homeless Foster Cat” series. I will share my learning about the SEVEN reasons so many thousands of Adult Foster Cats, in the USA, remain homeless and basically living ‘in sanctuary’ with their fosters.

Late: Local National Feral Cat Day

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I am very late to be posting this celebration of National Feral Cat Day; but  believe everyday ought to be “Feral Cat Day”.  I want to celebrate and share a local feral rescue and one of their many feral cat colonies. Mom L and Dad P and a friend attended an event on October 17th.

Homeless Animal Response Program (HARP)  serves both woofies and kitties who have lost, or never had, a home. They support approximately 10 colonies of feral cats in my county and I want to introduce you to the River Town Cats of Antioch, CA.

We are ON camera!

Mom L did not notice any cats at first…just this one black kitty who was very shy with a photographer…

Nope! Not going to 'pose' for this photo shoot

So my human parents and their guest bought some lovely, yummy baked goods and then strolled around a bit. One person pointed them to a location of one of the feral colonies; so they strolled over to look around. These are mostly adult cats, living in two very old and crumbling structures along the front of the Sacramento Delta.

First they saw a brown tabby…so scared that Mom L barely  had time to grab this photo…

Who are you? Can I trust you?

Who are you? Can I trust you

And then Mom L and her friend Miss Nancy began to discover more and more cats…all adults…(hover over each photo to view the sincere comments)

Finally, Mom L found one last kitty, who seemed to be standing guard over the entrance to the last dilapidated structure and this cat gave Mom L pause for reflection…we are sorry that the photo is blurred…but Mom L only had her iPhone with her and grabbed this photo through a chain link fence around that dilapidated property.

This is the only home I will ever know

This is the only home I will ever know

I am joyful that my life did not turn out as this adult cat’s did. Please, please…defend, support and care for those ferals who are living in your communities. They never were given a choice to live in such conditions.

I am so very thankful for the HARP rescue humans who make sure these feral cats receive care and kindness including being spayed and neutered; given vet checks; appropriate vaccines and daily meals.
