Monday Meowsie News You Don’t Wanna Miss

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Anyone who has followed my blog knows that I usually a ghost when strangers, even repeat guests, come to my home. Oh, and to be clear, I am talking about bipeds.

My news today is all about my continuing learning to trust humans after what appears to have been as many as the first five years of my life having to endure unknown trauma at the hands of humans.

Do you remember when Cuzin Leo lived with me? See! You do remember him!

Well his Dad Dave, now my Uncle Dave, has become the best of friends with Mom L and Dad P. So this is about Uncle Dave’s recent visit to my castle yesterday.

Personally I cannot believe I did what I did. No siree!! I kind’a out did myself so to speak. You see, I started to try to slip past Uncle Dave when he entered my office. I was trying to scoot past him by going under that cute bench I have in my office. And then Uncle Dave did something that caught my attention.

He…did…not…leave! He just bent over and offered his hand for me to sniff and he spoke “cat” language to me. AMAZING!! And before I knew what I was doing, I moved out from under my bench and gave Uncle Dave a sort’a twirl around to see if he was really serious about giving me some pets. I quickly moved just a teensy bit outside of where he placed his hand. And still, he did not move. Then I thought—”Hmmmm…perhaps I outta give him a chance to touch my luxurious gray furs.”

So I circled around and indeedy do—there his hand was—not moving one bit!

Hey! You know how to treat a gal right Uncle Dave!

Then I did the most unthinkable thing!! Yes I did! I cannot deny the photos.

Oh no!! My EBD condition is showing!

Yep, there you have it for all to see. My Elevator Butt Disease fully displayed. And I can only tell you this—I LUVLUVLUV’d it!!

The longer Uncle Dave stayed on my level the more I invited him to give me more attention. I actually started giving him my very special “Miss Savvy Do head butts”!

Head butt coming your way!

Then I just gave up and asked him to give me his very best chin rubs and ear scritches.

ahhhh—just the spot

Kitties and woofies, I must admit. Uncle Dave won me over big time. His understanding of how to approach a cat, especially a Princess Cat like me, was something for the history books.

I simply could not stop myself and threw myself into my form of “wild abandonment” into his gentle, caring chin rubs.

Oh my—this is simply the best of the best!

There you have it my loyal furriends. My latest and simply greatest progress in allowing another human beyond my Mom L and Dad P to enjoy contact with my soft gray furrs and I even allowed Uncle Dave to hear my loudest purrrrs ever!!

Have you ever feared humans so much that you are uneasy about allowing them to touch your furrs? How have you overcome your fear? I sure could use some coaching my pals.

It’s Meme Time!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Before the Friday Memes begin, let me clear up the reason for my paw count down time. I am counting one day at a time on all my four paws, and doin’ it over and over again, until our move in date arrives. So we have now owned our very own forever home for about five whole days.

Mom L and Dad P scraped and pawed and dug around and went without doing stuff they always used to do so’s they could get enough green papers together to put a teeny down payment on our FOREVER HOME. None of us will ever move again after this next move.

And our humans made sure that any property they even put an offer on had enough sun puddle space—Dad P went around figuring out where the sun came up and went down to learn just how much sun time we girls will have. Mom L made sure there was ample natural light so’s she could do some better photos of us. The place we have lived for two years is pretty dark—just sayin’.

We are on a small marina that opens to our famous San Francisco bay are DELTA region. We are on water that is a mix of ocean and fresh water from the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers.

We are kind’a in between that strait and the upper part. Oh and all our cat towers have been calculated into the living space and maybe even a small catio on the balcony off the master bedroom we will all share.

We need a kayak!

We even have a space for my office AND a small tiny guest room!! APAWS!!!

Now let me get goin’ on more important stuff.

HERE COME THE FRIDAY MEMES!!

First up is a mancat named Murphy. He was one of my roomies when I was at Kitty Corner. Good news is Mom L actually met his adopter just last year and Murphy is still the same chill’in out cat today!

Next up is TKS—doing what she does best with those great ole big golden eyes.

Yep, every night TKS shares Dad P’s little portion of ice cream. She sits next to him and gets tiny licks from the ice cream on his finger. To TKS’ dismay, Mom L does not share in that nightly tradition.

I am bringing up the tail of the cat so to speak! Here is my meme for all my readers.

Yup, I can tell the sound of that drawer like nobody’s business. Can you tell the sound of the claw whacker drawer storage in your home? If YES, then be quick and move that sucker to some other drawer that your humans never use. Sadly, I thought that is what I did, but heck, I forgot and put it in with the stuff where Dad P’s ice cream scope lives. Total bummer!!!!!
