Not Another One??!!

Adopt J Lo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Aiiieeeee!!! I heard Mom L say to Dad P when they returned from visiting Cuzin Leo…

Mom L: “Oh isn’t she cute?”

Dad P: “Yes, she reminds me of Boris, even though she is a ginger girl *chuckle from Dad P*”

Mom L: “Where do you think we should keep her to make sure she is safe?”

Dad P: “Let me think about that a bit. You know how inquisitive Sage can be.”

Oh My Cat!!! I knew right then, we I ~~were~~ was in deep cat litter!! After all I have been through with The Kid Sage…now THIS!!

Ok, I could not help myself, I must have let out a loud ~~ROAR!!!~~ meow, because soon The Kid Sage was coming downstairs to learn what I was so concerned about.

YRH!!! I am on my way! Never fear when I am near *snicker*

Hmmmm…was TKS (The Kid Sage) snickering??? Naw…no way…she wouldn’t do that to me; would she?

Did I hear something? Was that a meow? From where??

I knew she had my, errrr…ummm..ahhhh…’back’…when she checked behind her to make sure the upstairs area was secure.

All clear Savvy. Nothing up there

Now it’s my turn to check out the downstairs area…

Nothing over there…

Wait! what did I just hear??…

Nada to the right…I think…hmmm…that’s the dining room…??

What is left?

*ahem no pun intended* Could that sound be coming from the garage?

Alright then, come on Mom L, give that other cat up…I am not sure I can go through this again…please tell me I do not have to. Please tell me there is nothing for me to fear. Please reassure me I will be safe.

What did you say? The ‘new cat’ is a WHAT??

You’re joking, right???

I am a purrfect new cat

She…errr…ummm…he…ahhh…it…..is a ‘what’?? ( you MUST hover to view captions to learn ‘what’ the new cat is…)

Back side…

Separate parts…

A salt and pepper WHAT??!!

There you have it. The newest cat member to my castle is a Salt and Pepper Shaker!!! WHO KNEW??!!

PLEASE!!! If any of you have really cool animal salt and pepper shakers…let’s start sharing them!!

My Mom Linda’s Grandmother collected Salt and Pepper shaker sets all through her lifetime; some 94 years!

Mom L wishes Grandmother could see this special cat S & P shaker set. It was in an antique store near where we live and the two pieces are held together by a magnet.

Ok, ok…we are sure someone, somewhere will be sure to tell us to NEVER EVER USE IT because that magnet is NOT HEALTHY.

But, nonetheless; isn’t this ginger kitty S&P shaker set too cute for words?

Adult Cats Making Change: Tail Whiffies Matter!

Adopt J Lo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Who knew how a change in a relationship would be positively affected with a whiff of another cat’s tail???

Seriously? You think I want to snuffle her tail?

No way…I am definitely NOT going to even try to get a whiff of Her Royal Highness Princess Savannah…~~well, maybe not when she can know about it~~

Nope, not ever never gonna ‘whiff’ her tail…might be painful

So the first part of this ‘breakthrough’ goes like this…

Mom L opened the front door, leaving the screen door latched. I, Savannah, was so excited I zipped over to check out all those fresh, fragrant outdoor whiffies….ahhhhhhhh….bliss….

Unknown to me….The Kid Sage…slipped in right behind me…and took total advantage of my innocent rapture in the fresh out of doors smells…

SHE WHIFFED MY TAIL…

Mom L did not get a photo…but she did, apparently…totally enjoy seeing The Kid Sage take such advantage of my ‘exposed’ tail…pffffttt!

Well, I say…turn about is fair play…right??!!

Who ME? Take advantage??? Why, never, no, not at all

I waited, and waited…until just this week when my opportunity came along…

The Kid Sage was once again going after the “cat treat pillow stash”…

What? I was just looking!

Yeah, right Kid!…

She is right behind me, right? Oh please Ceiling Cat protect me!!

My opportunity to return the ‘tail whiffie’ finally arrived…

I am not going to be tempted

I resisted…honestly I did…but the urge just was too strong…

You want me do “what” with that tail??

Yes, I DID indeed inhale…sigh…

After that bit of ‘inhalation therapy’…I just could not resist…especially after The Kid Sage decided to whap my with her tail flicking…I did, I did, I confess…I hissed…but I DID NOT WITHDRAW nor did I attack her.

That is our “Progress Report” for now. Day by day…patience, love, kindness and understanding from our human guardians…brings me further and further into a world of trust and acceptance.

Events Within An Event

Adopt J Lo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well, most of you know that Mom L dashed across country for FIVE hundred thousand years! Just to attend this Bark and Meow World Event…whatever, I say!

AND…Dad P dashed off to some other foreign place called REENO for his stoopid club stuff and he was gone for FOUR hundred thousand years!!

Yeah, yeah…we had our live in pet sitter Miss Heather…but I don’t snuggle at night with anyone but Mom L…

So I waited…

Where is she??

I tried to be pleasant with Miss Heather but it wasn’t my best “so nice to have you here” face…na’ mean??

Who are you and what have you done with my Mom L??

Then when Miss Heather was trying to give me my snack…she caught me getting ready to give my pal Nanuk my ususal smoochie before I eat…now she thinks I was sticking my tongue out at her!!! *slaps paw to forehead*

No, no…I wasn’t sticking my tongue out at you!!

Sigh…I just could not win.

But now The Kid Sage…she did her usual flirty purty moves and gave Miss Heather her goo goo eyes…what a suck up!

Hi Miss Heather! Wanna play with me?

Now I am going to let Mom L share her trip…she is not feeling great so this is going to be a short one…

Mom L: Hi everyone…I wish every single anipal Nana and I have, whether it be bloggers, Twiiter or Face Book pals could have been with us in Atlanta. What a blast!!! And I DON”T necessarily mean the conference!!

I don’t know the last time I laughed so much and so many times that I had tears in my eyes. We had lots of fun, not always in sessions, but just getting to know one another more and more.

I was invited by some dog pals from Twitter to join them for lunch my first day. I arrived before anyone I knew really well and I so welcomed their kindness. I had lunch with @niqqi and @carmapoodle. They were the best behaved woofies at the whole conference IMHO!!!

Niqqi at lunch

…Carma Poodle is a service dog and very gentle and calm…

See my purple nail polish? Matches Mom’s outfit

And there were too many opportunities for photos so I just gave up and enjoyed. Here are a few I thought you would all enjoy seeing…the two kittens, Stoli and Sangria, were keeping Miss Jeanne company as they are her fosters right now and *hint, hint* THEY ARE OPEN FOR ADOPTION!!! You can follow them on Random Felines and you can find my real BFGF Cathy Keisha on her blog Stunning Keisha. Of course Waffles lives at Glogirly with Katie, my gal pal.

I also was able to capture some fun photos of another adult cat in attendance, Mr Waffles. As you can see from this photo series, he is just like any other cat…he puts his tocks on one leg at a time, and he is curious and loves dark places. Really, a regular mancat!

Hope to see many of you next 2015 at Blog Paws in Nashville!

Savannah: Ok, up to me to wrap this post up. Mom L is back to her ice pack on her sore muscle on her back. I hope to get a few visits in tonight and tomorrow AM so please don’t count me out of this community yet!!!

And as you all know…all my waiting paid off…Mom L did return…but she got a stink eye before she got any purrss…heh…heh
