Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Who’s been naughty or nice?

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well I KNOW I have been nothin’ but nice. How’s about all of you? But, lemme tell you about my newest castle furramily member, Eowyn. Remember I named her my Mistress of the Princess Guard? Well, now she is officially, until further notice my Princess’ Court Jester!!

Now what kitteh in its right mind goes messin’ around in Mom L’s bedroom trash can!! Well of course, my Court Jester!! And that’s the least of her capers. This is how she helped me and Mom L get my Secret Santa Paws gifts ready to mail to my our cat furramily who we are Secret Santa Paws for. (hover over photo to see captions)

Of course I was on duty helping Mom L get all the prezzies in nice wrapping packages. And yes, I did have to snuffle some of them to make sure they were of proper quality. But I am an official “Snoopervisor” after all!

So on with  the evidence to determine who has been naughty or nice—

Then last Friday night, my Court Jester did an amazing thing! None of us, not even Foodie Sage has ever done this—well—except for that chik-hen leg TKS paw forked off Mom L’s plate a couple years ago. But, well, never mind that; it’s history. I am building a case scenario to determine “who’s been naughty or nice” in my castle. Moving on…to that Friday night caper.

That is Eowyn, just before she leaps to Mom L’s side of the couch (we were watching a movies so’s Mom L had a lap tray) and with one nanosecond, she grabbed a French fry from Mom L’s plate and drug her pray to the area rug and devoured it!!! Holy cat!! I’m certain Mom L and Dad P were disgusted and appalled. Ummm—not  sure why they were smothering and choking what sounded like giggles???

And then she poses with my bestest plush furriend, Nanuk, as thought she is the Princess of my castle. Hah!

My Court Jester tries to show her “NICE” side; but that is few and far between.

Above, you can see her watching TV, right in front of Mom L’s sight line. And yes, that is a teeny tiny little glass of vino Mom L likes, with that water chaser. Just sayin’. And the one with the toys, on my  our stair landing  shows how Eowyn drags toys up from our toy basket downstairs and forces Mom L to tidy up after her. Then she does this “sweet” kitteh thing and falls fast asleep on Sage’s special hand knitted blankie. Looking all “nice”. Sheesh!

My last piece of evidence is about how unbelievable my Court Jester is about her obsession with food!! And I thought TKS was my food-aholic!! This happens two times a day when Dad P gives us our brekkies and dinner. She has even grabbed her dish and dumped it on the floor! *shudders*

So I say “NAUGHTY”! What say all of you about Eowyn’s behaviors??

Friday Memes for Friday Smiles

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Late, late and more late again! But I am here! I have three guest photos for my memes today. First up is our foster kitten, Frodo.

Bet’cha none of you ever let your humans chomp on chips with kitty spit, right?

Next up are two kittehs I follow, along with their human and their two woofies, on Facebook. They live in the area of Lanjaron, Spain. Both kittehs are real adventure cats! They go on walks and hikes with their humans and woofies.

I imagine we all jumped for joy learning we had nine lives! Her brother is as athletic as she is.

That’s it for today. Let me know in comments if you like having my guest photos. I sure do!!

Cats have deep feelings for each other

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I will leave it up to my readers to tell me different, but I purrsonally know, that we cats care deeply for our fellow felines who are in distress. Maybe we don’t show this in a way humans can understand, but we show it in ways only we can understand.

You have heard me report lots about Mom L’s years of volunteer work at the Kitchen Clinic, run about 2-4 times a month by our partners Community Concern For Cats.

They do so much for so many cats/kittens of all ages.

Mom L and her BFF Doc Josie, and Miss Gemma were doing the clinic a couple weeks ago and they witnessed the exceptional care bond between kitties who did not all know each other.

BACK STORY: A senior community cat, was brought in by her caretaker because the cat wasn’t grooming, getting thinner and very lethargic. She was a Seal Point Siamese, long hair, blue eyes—stunning—even with her furrs not well groomed. They first treated a walnut sized abscess on the side of her face. Then Doc Josie saw that her mouth was ablaze with inflammation and infection. Doc Josie did a  quick biopsy to send off to learn what was going on. In the mean time, Doc Josie suspected that the evil stomatitis was at play so she administered a powerful steroid.

Sadly the labs came back showing extreme severe stomatitis all over her mouth and down her throat. She was also consuming a lot of water and frankly, she smelled like a senior cat in renal failure. The decision was made, with her caretaker’s input, to send this precious sweet girl on her way to collect her Angel Wings.

In the photo below, she has been deeply sedated, in preparation for her euthanasia injection. Mom L, Doc Josie and Miss Gemma were collecting their own emotions about losing this courageous abandoned kitty—when Mom L saw a site that was amazing!!

First the white with black girl cat, Me-Me, slowly hopped onto the kitchen table and very carefully curled her warm comforting body very tightly against the departing kitty’s tummy. Then, orange Rocket, a male who loves everything people and kittehs, very carefully hopped onto the other side of the heavily sedated girl. Rocket first settled against her back, then—that wasn’t close enough for empathetic Rocket. He then resettled himself lightly onto her side so he could offer even more warmth and comfort.

I named her “Trooper”. She had to survive outside for so long, after abandonment by humans, and then she found she was comforted and loved at the ending of her life by her dear feline family.

Cats Have Deep Feelings For Each Other!
