As you know from my Monday product review blog post, I had Mom L doin’ photo shoots with Cuzin Leo first, then The Kid Sage and finally I agreed to give it a go—you can see what little success she had with me and TKS. Not ONE photo of TKS came out usable and only one of me was salvageable. *tsk, tsk* Sad, sad state of affairs.

In fact, Mom L even had trouble gettin’ that product to cooperate—do you  see that name clearly???

Can you see the product name clearly?

Can you see the product name clearly? Here—borrow Mom L’s glasses…

Then TKS stepped into the mix with her personal photo shoot. This is the best, trust me.

Can you tell this is TKS?? Why??

Can you tell this is TKS?? Why??

The next try with TKS was pretty silly, not even the product could be seen. Just her eyes and I’m not sure they were in focus either.

What did you want me to do Mom L??

What did you want me to do Mom L??

Moving on—Mom L asked me to step in and try to save the day with this product review. Of course, thanks to her, you can’t tell if I have even one eye and you surely can’t read those cans to tell who the brand is.

*sniff* Why is Mom L getting down so close to me?

Thankfully Cuzin’ Leo did get a couple of good photos and you can see his best of the photo shoot on my Monday blog post. But not even Cuzin’ Leo escaped Mom L’s silliness in taking photos too fast.

Just looking at this, don’t ya feel like Cuzin’ Leo is riding on a pretty rocky boat? Look at that slant in the floor, why he looks like he is gonna slide backwards!

It's a can Auntie Linda, big deal

And just one more so’s you can see what Cuzin’ Leo was really thinking—as he dug his claws into the rug to keep from sliding backwards and off that rocky boat!

Auntie Linda, I don't have thumbs. Are you gonna open this of just lay there snappin' photos?

Auntie L, I don’t have thumbs. Are you gonna open this or just lay there snappin’ photos?

Those are my bloopers for this month’s Pet Blogger Blog Hop. I sure do hope all of you are showing off your own bloopers.

What’s An Award Between Friends?

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I made a new pal not too long ago. I know most of you already know him, and if you don’t then you must transport right over to his blog and visit. His name is Purrseidon and he is one crazypants cat who totally loved the water! *shivers*

Purrseidon was very kind and thoughtful to honor me with an award. I know I stopped doing awards two years ago or more, but because he is special, and I liked his questions, I am accepting this nifty award.

The Brotherhood of the World Award

brotherhood-award

The award doesn’t say “why” it is being given but it does come with rules. And I will of course only follow the one rule which is to answer the questions Purrseidon himself has asked.

1. Do you purrfer to watch movies or read books?

Heh…heh…now that’s a really unusual questions for me, Savannah the Cat. Why I don’t care for books at all. And movies? Only if there are birds and squirrels and such for me to watch. But I do enjoy me some good bird  TV.

2. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Why Purrseidon, I would’t change one thing! Purrfection needs no updating now does it? And there is not one little tiny thing about me that I could change without destroying my total purrfection.

3. What is your favorite sport?

Ummm…I have TKS…who needs any sport when you have this crazy kid to watch all day?? However, I do now and then entertain myself with a good round of zoomies upstairs. I like to do this when the humans are watching TV cuz my paws make a really loud sound on the ceiling just over their heads.

4. What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?

Ok, alright. I have been asked this many times. A picture is worth a thousand words as the saying goes. I got caught, just once, on camera in a somewhat embarrassing position.

*tink, tink* I can't get this alternate universe system to do a return trip!

*tink, tink* I can’t get this alternate universe system to do a return trip!

You see I was caught by the snappy box as I had my butt in the air, reaching into my control panels on my Three Way Teleport Tunnel to make some repairs. Mom L thought I was trying to dive into that top hole cuz there was some toy in there. Heh…heh…little does she know what I actually use this thing for.

5. What are you most proud of?

Oh my, why I am most proud of having all of YOU, my readers and followers come by to visit my blog every now and then. And some of you are kind enough to share Tweets with me and to engage in chat on my Face Book page. I am proud to have you all as my furriends.

And that’s it for what I will do to accept this nice award from Purrseidon. I am honored you thought of me my pal. So what IS an award between friends? Why it is a gift of respect and appreciation.

Momma Kat's Story

Call Me Spoiled Rotten, I Don’t Care #MyGreatCat

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

Nana loves her Dad P


Oh my cat! Do I ever have some news for all of you about my growing relationship with my Dad P. Those who have followed me from the beginning know that I am an adult shelter rescue cat, and I arrived in my forever home afraid of men. Yep, men—especially those who wear tennis shoes aka trainers.

My Dad P and Mom L decided within my first week that Dad P would be my primary food service human. He always tells his Rotary pals that I am his Princess! And over the last four years, I now come to him easily to get my two meals a day, but I haven’t allowed him close enough to give me pets like I do Mom L. Oh , Dad P can “pet me”—just not at meal time.

Here’s the inside story. You see, I was livin’ in a public shelter for a couple of months and then just before I was, well—you know—ahem…I was lucky enough to get a placement in a private no kill shelter. Guess what almost all animal shelters feed cats??? Dry food! Right?? And mostly ‘cuz they cannot afford to feed canned food which is the best ever for hydration. You all know that, right? Of course you do.

So Dad P and Mom L started their campaign to get me to eat wet canned food. I think if they had Purina Pro Plan Cat food at first I would have jumped on that brand band wagon ASAP! Especially with their awesome wet canned cat food with a chik-hen flavor urinary tract formula! How great that would have been four years ago.

slurp, chomp

Now for the real news about Dad P and me and our growing relationship. You see, Dad P has stuck with me through the thick and thin of finding first a wet canned food I would eat.  And then we discovered I had IBD. We learned I could not digest any quality wet canned food properly. I just hurled it up. So in full disclosure, I now can only eat a raw diet.

SHOCK!!! Then why are you, Savannah, doing this product review for Purina Pro Plan Cat food??!!

Because I really do believe it is a high quality, life affirming wet canned food for kitties. 

And because that is a real photo of ME, eating this yummy Purina Pro Plan Cat food!! Yes, ME!!  I totally LOVED IT! And every now and then, Dad P has to add a teeny bit of a canned food to get me to eat my raw chik-hen and this one will do nicely, thank you very much!

Now just to make sure you know I am not the ONLY kitty in my furramily to chomp on this yummy wet canned cat food, take a look at Cuzin Leo!

After Cuzin Leo did his survey of that can, he got mighty interested when he caugh a whiff of the yummy goodness inside.

Leo chomps

If you are still with me, then here is the REAL NEWS about my relationship with Dad P—growing out of how he has committed to being my food service human. I now INVITE Dad P to pet me before I ever eat my morning or evening meal. I wait until he can spend some time strokin’ me and lov’in on me. I even purr and chirp for Dad P now.

My whole loving relationship with Dad P was built on him taking the role of being my food service human. How simple is that? Right? And now we are just the best buds ever. I am his #MyGreatCat!!!
