Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

New Places Bring New Behavior

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

It is true, at least for me…new places bring new behavior. And I am reluctant to say this…but perhaps having a partner makes new behavior easier…DO NOT QUOTE ME IN ANY BOOKS!!!

OK…so perhaps The Kid Sage has, well…ummmm…sort of inspired me to do things I never thought about doing before. Now I just said “PERHAPS”…so do not attribute all my current progress JUST to her hanging around my castle…na’mean??

So I don’t usually play ‘blanket cat’ much these days…although I certainly  did in my early days with Mom L and Dad P. Click here, Blanket Cat, and Blanket Cat Again to see my early days of being a “Blanket Cat”.

Wouldn’t  you know it; Dad P caught me at it again.

This is so cozy

This is so cozy

I really thought Mom L and Dad P were both gone…

What?

What?

Bummer luck…I was caught in the act of being a “Blanket Cat” by Dad P…but seriously…who cares? Right?

...zzzzzzzzz...

…zzzzzzzzz…

So have you ever been caught as a “blanket cat or woofie or bunny”???

The Art of Feline Innocence

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So let’s talk. And I know many of my pals are woofies, so let me just say…I believe that this “art of innocence” crosses all anipal species…na’ mean???

Everyone knows, I am not the least bit mischievous. I never ever do weird or crazy pants stuff…right? Awww…come on guys, back me up on this one!

Here I am, just washing my paws and cleaning my face. Like every cat does a kabillion times a day. No reason for this particular routine action to require Mom L hauling out her iPhone (note the lousy focus).

*slurp, lick, slurp, lick*

*slurp, lick, slurp, lick*

Now why should this be so worthy of a photo, albeit a lousy one at that? Next I hear this question from Mom L:

Mom L: “Savvy? What are you up to?”

Me: “What,  nothing, absolutely nothing!”

Mom L: “Then please tell me exactly how ‘this’ ended up here looking like ‘that’?”

Me: ” Whoa! That TKS has been busy!”

Mom L: “TKS has been upstairs with Dad P the whole time I was gone. You were the only one downstairs.”

Me: *puts paws up and spread open with a shoulder shrug*…”Hey! what’s the problem? You know I never ever do stuff like that.”

Mom L: “hmmmm…sure Ms Savvy Do…you have that ‘Feline Look of Innocence’…but you know I know YOU!”

Hey?!! Are you sayin’ ‘I’ had something to do with that self imploding old used paper towel roll?…seriously…I was just up here tidying myself up before my nap

Mom L: Sure Ms Savvy Do, but just know this young lady…I have my eyes on you!”

And that my furriends is the Art of Feline Innocence!! Any of you ever try it? I bet my woofie pals know it just as well as we felines. We use the old “just cleaning my paws and/or face” but what do you woofies use?

peeEss…The Typist always gets the last word…never ever has Savannah done something like this. She must have bunny kicked that paper towel roll like a crazypants cat. I am so proud of her!

Happy Tails Endings Are the Best!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

You are for sure going to totally enjoy a couple of happy tail ending rescue stories I have to share with you today.

Are you ready to do some Happy Dancing??

Are you ready to do some Happy Dancing??

My former rescue shelter Kitty Corner recently sent out some Happy Tails Ending updates that I know you will want to hear about. This is what Miss Chrissy, the Adoption Manager for Kitty Corner told us:

“There were  two brothers who’d been bottle fed by a woman and lived in a topsoil yard for the first year of their life.  When customers complained about the “presents” Hank & Rocky would leave in their topsoil purchases (world’s biggest litter boxes), they were trapped and brought to Animal Services.  Each were adopted and both returned; one for having bitten and one for scratching (they adopted one to a 90-year-old woman who’d poke at the cat with her cane when he hid under the bed!) .Miss Sue, a volunteer at the county Animal Services hoped they could remain together.  She brought each over to Kitty Corner after their quarantine periods were done.

They didn’t hang out here together at all oddly, especially given their Happy Tails Ending.  A couple applied to adopt them both before an adoption event, and since this was their first cat, they ended up just deciding to adopt Rocky at the event. But they fell so in love with him and his awesome disposition that two months later, when they felt they could easily manage a second cat, they came back and adopted Hank. And now the two brothers are reunited and couldn’t be happier together.  Love times a million!”

The boys new guardians sent this fun update to Miss Chrissy:

Hope you are doing well! Thompson and I just wanted to give you an update on the boys adjustment with living together. Chrissy, you have no idea. Saying they are best friends is an understatement. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER! I swear I will come home, and they are always snuggled up next to each other! I attached a couple of photos of them snuggled up together! At night when Thompson and I go to sleep, they are running wild all over the house playing with each other. Sometimes, we wake up, and all we hear is sprinting back and forth from them playing together with their toys.”

Next we had another update from Miss Chrissy about a sweet Moma kitty who Mom L actually was able to have a meet and greet with. She was barely a year old and pregnant, with SEVEN kittens! The people with whom she lived owner surrendered her and the kittens to the County Animal Shelter. Miss Chrissy was thrilled to scoop them all up and bring them to Kitty Corner.

All the kittens were adopted, but Snow White (the shelter named her that as she had 7 kittens MOL). Finally her day did come and her new guardians sent this update and photos of Sansa aka Snow White.

Sansa at home at last

This is from Snow White’s mom, who’s renamed her Sansa.  “She’s doing great and is really warming up to their German Shepherd teenage dog, who’s super cat-savvy.”  Miss Chrissy has spoken with her a lot since adoption and she’s very happy with Snow White aka Sansa.

Isn’t she just the most gorgeous calico/tortie combo!

Hope you now have a great big smile on your faces and have started to do your Happy Dance. RESCUES ROCK!!!

Many more Happy Tails Endings are needed so please be sure to always SHARE SHARE SHARE when someone posts about a cat or dog in need of a home…let’s all do more Paw It Forward!
