My Phenomenal Progress!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I have important news about my recent progress

I know I may appear to be a bit grumpy in the photo, but rest easy, I am actually very excited. But you see Mom L caught me just settling in for my afternoon nap on this wonderful vintage quilt she carefully folded in hopes I would not find it a comfy bed.

HAH!! Wrong was she!!! That sun puddle had my name on it and the quilt was folded to a size that matched my gray furs and full figure purrfectly. I agreed to chat with her about the title I wanted for this blog post and I approved her edits to my two AMAZING videos which prove that I have just recently made incredible, phenomenal progress is my recovery from early trauma—before I found my perfect castle and family of course.

I need sunglasses!!

Ugh! Mom L kept on talking to the point I began to think I needed to get some sunglasses!! Why she couldn’t just wait until later I have no idea.

So about my amazing progress report! Mom L and Dad P went away to the mountains for a whole week. They looked and looked for new pet sitters for me because my new one was getting married. She didn’t seem to want to come stay with me and TKS—something about wanting to go with her new husband on some stoopid honeymoon! Whatever!!

So I TKS we actually required two pet sitters to cover a one week period. They are both registered vet techs and they split up the week. They are very much sought after as you can imagine.

So the second day with us, the first pet sitter, Miss Kat (no pun, none whatsoever!) was off work and stayed home to get to know us. She recognized my invitation to approach me instantly!! I was on my beloved stairs and asking for attention and play!!


And if THAT isn’t enough to shock your socks, check out this next video where I actually talk to her a couple of times and I PURRED out loud for her!! TURN YOUR SOUND UP LOUD so’s you can hear me give her a couple of meows and lots of purrs toward the last ten to fifteen seconds.


Don’t you think this is remarkable progress for me!! I really liked Miss Kat and hope she can come back. Mom L got a bit teary eyed to see me open up so much to a stranger. Guess Miss Kat must know some cat language, right?

Special Service for a Special Princess

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

You already know that the “Princess” is me! Right? You did know that?

Great, then let’s get to the special services I get all the time from my Dad P. Yup, that’s right! I said from my Dad P. He adores TKS and she is truly his pal. BUT—I am now, always will be his Special Princess Savannah. After all, it was Dad P who first took to me at my former shelter home at Kitty Corner. He is the one who brought Mom L over to meet me where I was hiding.

Dad P knows just the right spot for scritches on my butt

Dad P has always been my primary food service human. That is how he and Mom L found a way to help me be less afraid of him when I first arrived at my castle.

As all great food service professionals know, getting a picky eater to dine is all about location, location, location!!

Sometimes I like to dine in the dining room—why not?

And other times I prefer to have my meal served a la carte in the middle of the living room carpet.

Oh yeah, this is a great location… I can see the water from here

As you can see I have a wonderful dinner bowl which doesn’t require that I even stand! I often enjoy my meal as I sit and watch the water moving outside.

And as soon as I leave my dining location, Dad P whisks my plate away and if there is anything left, he makes sure to put it in the fridge in case I want a second or third course!!

*slurp, lick* awesome! Dad P? Can I have a kitty bag to go please?

How do your humans make sure you are getting the dining service you require?

Nine Reasons Cats Need Carpet on Stairs

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Now I know lots of my pals do not have homes that have two or more levels so’s you don’t have the option of getting carpeted stairs installed. BUT—if you could—would these reasons help you convince your humans to add stairs somewhere for you?

One: Chin Rest

Two: Sun shade

Shade from sun puddles that are too hot

Three: Nap cushion.

Four: Recon tower

Reconnaissance post to know when breakfast is being served

Five:  TV review

Television overview to insure “age appropriate” viewing

Six: Massage table

Ahhhh—that’s just the spot between my shoulders

Seven: Sun puddle lounge

May I borrow your sun shades?

Eight:  Surveillance post

I can see all TKS’ actions from here

Nine: Cat tower!

A place to play with a fur buddy

The not so fur friendly stairs are always those like I had in our last rental home. Hard, unfurriendly, narrow, and no light.

Non friendly feline stairs

How do you like your stairs if you have them?
