Caturday Pay Off…

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well all that waiting and waiting paid off…first I waited on our bed…

…then I waited on our guest bed…well, ahem, koff, koff…my “other” bed…

…then I waited on our couch…

…next I went back upstairs and waited in our bathroom…

…my next brainstorm was to wait on the stairs…how could they possibly get passed me if I wait on the stairs???

after stair play

…finally I decided to just wait and wait and wait on the chair in our office…you see they have to come in either through the garage which means they have to walk through Mom’s and my office where the chair is…OR…they have to come through the front door…which is in good view from the window above my chair outpost…

And the waiting finally paid off…we had a pawsome Caturday in bed…me Mom and Dad…just like it is supposed to be.  They have promised to stay home for a while now…whew!

Maybe Mom and I can catch up better with all of  you after she unpacks and washed all their peep clothes…and for sure tomorrow we will get around to everyone we can.

Paw pats and much appreciation for your patience and for coming around to visit me whilst Mom and Dad were away, Savannah

Sniff…Sniff…Mom and Dad…BUSTED!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What is a cat supposed to do?  I ask you all…we allow our humans a modicumpaw of free will to act…and off they go…cheating on us!!!

I find it purrfectly acceptable for Dad and Mom to volunteer at my former shelter.  I am fine to have them touch those kitties who are waiting for their furrever homes.

BUT…I NEVER EVER said they could go…not once…but twice…(and now I learn this will continue for SIX MORE DAYS)…to the home of not one, not two, not three…BUT the home of SIX cats!!! AND there are FOURTEEN CHICKENS!!!(non cooked BTW!!)

They come home reeking of SIX CAT smells…they don’t even bother to cover it up.  AND I saw Mom take some of my wand toys!!!…just because I don’t use them doesn’t matter…harrrruuummmpppfff!!!!!

Mom says these are “special cats”…like I care!  And even the chickens are supposed to be some kind of “airborne” something or other….sure, sure…

So here are these other cats…seriously…and most of them look alike…none, except maybe Special Forces Ranger Toby, are nearly as attractive as ME!!!…

Oh, I didn’t tell you yet…these cats and chickens live on something called a “base or fort” and they call themselves The Kitty Platoon and the chickens are the “Airborne Squad”…what the heck is that all about?????

…this one is called Captain Fokker…(what ever….)

…I bet you are already confused, huh?…can hardly tell them apart…Mom says she can but I doubt that…now Special Forces and Ranger qualified Toby…him, I can call really ‘special’…

…and finally…there is Specialist Carl Bob aka “Crybaby”…he whines apparentlypaw_15px.jpg

The truth is…Mom told me last night…she and Dad agreed to help a good friend by going by to check on her cats to make sure they got some play time.  Someone else is feeding, scooping the potty pods (lordy there are a lot of those I bet)…and feeding the raw chickens.

…here’s some photos of the kitties getting major play time with Mom and Dad…(yes the cats can go outside, but their compound has electric at top of fence so kitties stay safely inside…)

…Carl Bob looks like he is dancing!

…he just can’t keep those paws on the ground…
