The Kid Sage Loses It

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I know, I  know…hard to believe The Kid Sage hasn’t already lost ‘it’ living here with me, right?  MOL!!!

Well, I just have to tell you all that it sure does keep down my need to be involved in the housework now that The Kid is around. I have to spend way less time snoopervising all the folding, bed making and whatnot.

The Kid Sage just gets right in there to make sure it is all done correctly…while I always stood afar (sometimes even asleep) she is an active participant.

Here you can see that she is helping Mom L by making sure all Mom L’s t-shirts are folded properly and laid orderly in the drawer.(hover over photo to view captions)

Then she waits in a semi comatose state…one eye open… at the ready to leap to assist Dad P in his weekly chore of ‘changing the cat human bedding’.

She first must inspect the ‘stripping’ of the bed sheets…she keeps track of the very itty bitty stains that might be left when ‘some cats’ nibble their morning treats on the sheets and perhaps occasionally leave a teeny little cat spit on the bed sheets…not often mind you! But it is The Kid Sage’s job to make note of those and point them out to Dad P.

Next…she must inspect the fresh bed sheets…making sure that all the wrinkles are out…

And if once over doesn’t get those wrinkles in shape…she goes after them again…and again…and…well, you get it, right?

Finally, she forces herself to remain on the bottom sheet while the fresh top sheet is placed on the bed…such a dreadful job to remain under there to make sure no wrinkles return…heh…heh…

Finally, The Kid Sage has earned her reward…a nice long afternoon nap on the freshly made bed…complete with pillows…and her favorite Nip N Nap Mat.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz…..

The Kid Sage works hard at her snoopervising duties…I must say I am proud of her effort…leaves me to go about my playing with Mom L and taking my requisite 43 1/4 naps per day…

The Life and Times…of An Adult Cat Rescue!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Savvy singing

Happy tails to mew, until we meow again.

Happy tails to woo, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about clouds if we’re altogether?
Just sing a song that brings furramilies together.

Happy tails to you, ’till we meow again.

Our tails are happy ones,
All of them are true.
It’s the way we Paw It Forward,
Here’s some happy ones for you.

Bet’cha I have your attention…right??!!

Here is a totally PAWSOME Happy Tail Cat Rescue…BEFORE…NOW…TAILS TALE..

Remember this incredible Maine Coon Cat, at least from appearance…click HERE to read his death sentence when tested as a stray cat…for FeLV…

DSC_4483 ed

I just know you will recall his amazing polydactyl paws..

Mom L first met him in July and witnessed his positive FeLV test result…we reported him to my readers and wept for him as he was trapped, as a stray, and found to be so loving and gentle.  Then, this apparent terrible death sentence.

But WAIT!  Is FeLV truly a death sentence for cats??  

I am not an expert by any means, but I do know that many homes have accepted FeLV cats to enable them to live out their lives.  I named him “Mister” and he was healthy, and active.  But…we never heard about his fate.

And THEN…Mom L worked another CC4C ( Community Concern For Cats) spay/neuter clinic…and lo and behold…Mister’s foster/rescuer Mom brought some adult cats for spay/neuter.  Mom L, breathing rapidly, asked the question…”What happened to Mister?”…

APAWS…APAWS

Mister has been ADOPTED!!!  He was adopted into a home in the north bay area of San Francisco Bay. His amazing new human guardians accepted him without reserve…he is an only cat…living forever inside…with two WOOFIE siblings!!

Mister now grooms the woofies and THEY GROOM HIM!!!…doesn’t get a lot better than that.  Mister is Safe, and at HOME!

My request of anyone reading this post…whether you are a cat or woofie blog…PLEASE  SHARE SHARE SHARE to you readers that FeLV positive does not ALWAYS mean the cat has no opportunity to live a life, as long as they are blessed by Ceiling Cat, of love and kindness.

My readers all know this…but YOUR readers may NOT know this…that is my reason for requesting that you share this post.  None other…just that sharing this post might give some human out there the motivation to invite a cat, testing positive for FeLV, in to their home for the length of that cat’s life…

Truly a blessing from Ceiling Cat…if you will share.

Food Hog…Busted Again!!

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I must say, it is actually very amusing watching The Kid Sage get busted every now and then.  It usually is over her constant search for food…soft food, treats, human chicken dinners…you name it…she believes her name is written all over each and every morsel.

I can tell, she's behind me trying to excavate under the pillow

Now I don’t care for human food and I am happy to wait for my brekkies and dinner…but *looks over shoulder then whispers*…I can’t say I mind so much when The Kid Sage wrestles our morning treat bags out from under the pillow where Mom L ‘thinks’ she is hiding them.

The Kid Sage (aka TKS)…tries to be discreet…”surely, no one will see me doing this…”

TKS: “Yes, I have my paws on the gold now…”

What do you mean??? PAWS UP???!!! I'm innocent, I swear!!

What do you mean??? PAWS UP???!!! I’m innocent, I swear!!

TKS: “Whew!  almost caught in the act…but I am not called Sneaky Sage for nothing…”

scruffle, pull...

scruffle, pull…

…TKS: “…there must be more…”

got it!

got it!

TKS: “…I wonder if there is even MORE???”

Oh, hiya Mom L, this was just lying here, really...honest...

Oh, hiya Mom L, this was just lying here, really…honest…

TKS: ” I just know Mom L keeps like a TON of our fave treats under that pillow…”

Mom L saw me again, right?..MOUSES!!!

Mom L saw me again, right?..MOUSES!!!

And here is the treasure trove TKS searches for…every single morning…to the delight of us all.

NOMMIES!!!

NOMMIES!!!

TKS: “Ok, I totally confess…I have a small addiction to high calorie, yummy tasting GREENIES!!  I have been TOTALLY busted…there is even an iPad video…sigh”

With TKS at work, we usually get our treats earlier than planned…heh…heh

And so I am coming to maybe, just a teeny bit…to appreciate that TKS has improved the quality of my morning snuggles in bed with Mom L…*shhhh…don’t let TKS know!!!*
