Monday Meowsie News…

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

And yes, I am definitely NOT in a great mood today…my San Francisco 49’rs lost the Super Bowl…bummer…BUT…there is always NEXT YEAR!! And both teams gave us a great game!

Now, let’s meow about my recovery progress…I have been doing some exploring in the last few days…not anything special to most of you…but to me…a really, really big deal…you see, I don’t “explore”…I don’t “snoop”…at least not when and where Mom and Dad can see me doing it.

…but Mom caught me relaxing on the guest bed…I don’t go in there hardly at all…

I don’t have evidence of a couple of my recent explorations…but here’s what I did…

First, we have a king size bed…and Mom and Dad recently hung a really pretty weaving above it…I didn’t notice until a few days ago. Mom was still sitting in bed, reading my furriends’ blog posts to me…and all of a sudden…I looked up above the headboard on the bed…and thought “WHOA”!!! What is that???

I marched right over to Dad’s pillows, got up on them and looked at that weaving…hmmmmm…there is this dark place behind it…wonder what’s up there???….so then I went around to his nightstand…climbed on top of his pillows…and used them to get my paws up on the headboard…and I hoisted myself up to take a good look at who or what might be up there under that weaving…

MOL!!! Mom was afraid I would try to jump up there…heh…heh

Next, yesterday, I finally noticed Mom’s nightstand has this interesting shelf under it…so I took a good look around…got on the shelf, checked out what was behind it. I even poked my head through the wood bars and peeked up at Mom sitting in bed…winked at her…and then left…

You see…I don’t explore new things very much…so all of these explorations are about me getting more confident and trusting that nothing I do will be punished…kind of a great thing for this adult rescue shelter cat to learn….just sayin’…

…and finally…just a couple of days ago…I ran up onto my bird watching tower…I have not been up there since before the Christmas Tree arrived…and I did some checking out of a window sill…

That’s my Monday Meowsie News…

Purrlease be sure to come back tomorrow for my February Real Rescue Cats Are Talking…you aren’t gonna want to miss this well known ladycat…just sayin’…

SUNDAY EASY…NO WAY!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I must first apologize to all my international furriends…it is SUPER BOWL SUNDAY IN THE USA…this is all about American Professional Football…and we are a family committed to watching and cheering our local team…THE SAN FRANCISCO 49’rs…

GO NINERS!!

My BFGF Cathy Keisha and I will have one focus…one thought…one mind…today….we will be joined in spirit with TW, Pops, Mom and Dad…screaming our cat voices for all to hear…

GO NINERS!!

Cathy Keisha and her TW made this pawsome photo of me for this special day…but CK was, of course, suited up before me…and I suspect Spitty is right…CK may be the Niners’ Secret Weapon…unsuspected, lying in wait in the hood in New Jersey...GO GET’EM CK!! Whack those Ravens! Use your mighty claws of power and slash’em. (ummmm…CK…do you think I was over the top with that description of what you should do??? Is it too much like saying you are a “cold blooded killer”…just asking…)

It has been a long 18 years since the San Francisco 49’ers Football Team pawticipated in the Super Bowl…and they are OUR TEAM!!

Alrighty then…catch up with all of you after SUPER BOWL SUNDAY…

BE SURE TO GO HANG OUT WITH THE TABBY CAT CLUB FOR THE SUPER DUPER SUPER BOWL PAWTY!!

Paw Pats…and chest bumps for all NINER FANS!!!…Savannah

Paw Pats, Savannah

peeEss…yesterday was my annual VET check up…you know I won’t allow being picked up…so Mom got me in Dad’s office…then I had no where to hide and she picked me up, held me close for a second and put me in my PTU. Off to the VET, a new person as my first one is now retired and good friends with Mom and Dad…it is her cats they are visiting all this week…

anywho…(I am purrfect BTW), got my nails trimmed, temp taken, weighed (lost 2 pounds of my shelter tummy fat since last Jan…woo hoo!!…now a trim 11.3 pounds…just right for my size); got my rabies shot; toofies checked; heart checked; etc. They brought me home…Mom took the advice from all the interviews I have done, and instead of just opening the PTU and letting me run and hide…she took me back to Dad’s office; picked me out of the PTU, held me close a moment, then held me in her lap a moment and gave me soft pets…I stayed OK, no struggles; then Mom showed me my treat…my fave prescription kibble. I really had an appetite by then, so I dug in! I did not run and hide, let Mom pet me while I ate. And I came right down later for my dinner with Dad, and to get more pets and play time. It was a NON-EVENT! So Mom associated a treat, my kibble, with being picked up and held. Thanks everyone for helping make my VET visit a pawsitive experience for all 3 of us.
