Bliss Is A Brush

HIYA!1 SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My ‘win over’ with Mom L and Dad P at the shelter was when Dad P brought out the brush. *swoon* I thought I had been given a gift from Ceiling Cat for sure.

This has become my most favorite time in the morning and the evening. I will share morning detail another time. But as for my evenings with Mom L and my brush…here you go…

umm...Mom L...it's time you know?

umm…Mom L…it’s time you know?

So I hop onto the couch when she settles in to watch a bit of TV with Dad P. And then I wait…*tapping little dainty white paw*

Now you're talking Mom L...whew thought you fogot

Now you’re talking Mom L…whew thought you fogot

I really get into this ritual we have; it is one of my most favorite times. I never ever was brushed so much and with such love before coming to my forever castle…

WAIT!!! What do I smell?? Surely NOT TKS!!!

WAIT!!! What do I smell?? Surely NOT TKS!!!

But…there is always that ‘but’…right?  Nothing is ever what it seems sometimes…I always make sure to SMELL the brush to make sure that The Kid Sage (TKS) has not contaminated it too much with her furs.

Oh yeah! This is what I am meowing about

Oh yeah! This is what I am meowing about

Once I determine I can tolerate any ‘cooties’ she has left on my special brush…I get into the WHOLE experience!

So do any of YOU have special night time routines with your humans???

Rediscovering Some Wild Moves

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Do you guys remember when I first arrived in my forever castle? It was almost FOUR WHOLE YEARS AGO!! No kidding, seriously!

Now, do you remember that fantastic high cat tree Mom L and Dad P had waiting for me? Some of the volunteers at my former shelter said “Savannah doesn’t really play”. HAH!!

Check out my moves just a few months after I was officially ADOPTED!

Sadly, once we moved to our next home, I didn’t play on that tower like that for 2 1/2 years. And then when we moved again a couple of months ago to another new rental home…guess what??…go on…guess???

YOU GOT IT!! I found my tall cat tower again! It must have been right there in front me all along at that last place but I never got really comfy there. But HERE! I am turning into a new former adult shelter cat!! Check out my wild new upper body work out moves…using my tower.

Tell me about some of your crazypants moves when you play on your towers! And my woofie pals I know sometimes get to playin’ zoomies…so tell me about where you like to do that.

When Her Royal Highness Speaks…ummm…or not

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Have you ever had problems ‘speaking’ to your human guardian…in silent mode???

Can you hear me ???

Can you hear me ???

After reading my pal Summer’s article in Catster, I realized I have not yet completely trained Mom L

I sit, wait, watch…while she plays on the computer. I can tell when she is doing serious stuff like my blog posts, and helping me to visit my pals…and when she is like just ‘messing around’ doing her human stuff.

I do not utter not one teeny tiny ‘meow’…I just wait…and watch…assuming she will read my mind and know exactly what I need and want…sigh…sadly this lesson has yet to be learned by her.

*silently* SCREAMING...CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???

*silently* SCREAMING…CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW???

Nope…she offered me kibble, then wet food, then tried to play with me…then I led her downstairs to our my new area rug in the living room…she tried to play then sing to me…Good grief; all I wanted was a bit of brushing!!!

How do you get your wants and needs met when you try to silently communicate with your human??? I am so hoping someone can help me out with Mom L.

Thanks my pals.

PeeEss...be sure to check out my latest PAW IT FORWARD PROJECT: Homeless Adult Foster Cats: Their Hopes and Dreams of their Forever Homes. Here and Here. Please SHARE SHARE SHARE to get this message out. It isn’t just about Coco and Chanel who a desperate for a forever home together; but really about the fact that all US of A 501 c3 rescues mostly rely upon foster humans and the greatest backlog that keeps them from being able to rescue even more cats is that many have Adult Homeless Foster Cats who they house, care for and especially if they are Seniors…offer them sanctuary…for life. That means…these foster humans cannot take in more adult homeless foster cats and so many more languish in limbo. Please SHARE this series as it continues throughout October.

And visit the Blog Paws Adopt A Shelter Pet Blog Hop to check out lots more cats and woofies who are waiting for their new families to find them. Thanks lots my anipals…
