Get Your Happy Dancing Paws Ready: Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I have been out on the dance floor with lots of my pals while my BFGF (best feline girl furiend) Cathy Keisha spins the tunes…

pawty dance floor

We are doing our HAPPY PAW DANCE…because one of my Paw It Forward ‘Adult Cat Rescues’ is…

….wait for it…wait for it….are you waiting????…

TINY IS GOING HOME FOREVER!!!

I love you

I love you

Some of you may have missed my other posts about sweet Miss Tiny…click HERE and HERE to check out her story.

Tiny is one of the only cats at my former rescue shelter to have surpassed my landmark stay of 12 months…Miss Tiny was a resident for approximately 18 months…consistently passed over as I…and while I was stand off’ish out of fear…sweet Tiny begged for attention and love…and yet she was always left behind.

Personally, I believe that is because Miss Tiny’s PERFECT forever home was still searching for her…and now they have found her!!!

And yes, she is taking her pawsome SINK BED, generously donated through the kindness of both Hauspanther, for reaching out to the vendor, and Little Cat Design.

Smells strange...not like my own sink

Miss Tiny was infamous with all staff and volunteers due to her love of visiting everyone who entered her bathroom…

Come on in, I wont bite

Come on in, I wont bite

So get those dancing paws moving…and let’s celebrate for MISS TINY WHO IS GOING HOME!!

Let’s Paw It Forward Again!!!

Now we are re-starting our rumbling purrs here at Castle Savannah for our pal Tigger…I introduced him a while ago…we grabbed him from being killed at the county shelter…found a temp foster for 2 weeks…and while there…Tigger ate some artificial plant arrangement left in the bathroom where he was confined for his first night…and that has caused him to have ongoing health issues for over 4 weeks…click HERE to read about Tigger when we first found him.

ahhh...nice...

ahhh…nice…

If you have artificial arrangements, please consider removing them.  Tigger is TEN YEARS old…yet when left in a small space overnight, he became bored, and explored…and chomped on the plastic arrangement…

Tigger stopped eating, became constipated…then began to vomit out pieces of this artificial arrangement…and we learned finally what was causing him to be losing weight and not eating.  He eventually began to show some blood in his stool…and so after he was transferred to his SECOND temporary foster…he spent the night at the vet to receive several enemas.

Tigger is now in his THIRD foster home…hopefully he will be able to remain here until he is able to find his final permanent home.

Here are some new photos of the most affable, loving, playful and total lapcat you will ever find…

PLEASE…SHARE SHARE SHARE TIGGER...he desperately wants to settle down and just love and be loved.

Do You Hunt Indoors?: Friday Frolics

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Yep, that’s right…I am talking about hunting indoors for all my feline furriends who live indoors just as The Kid Sage and I.  The concept of indoor hunting is all about technique.  Where did you learn your technique?  Let me know in comments so we can all share our learning.

Dad play 3

Most of us indoor cats have not been outside so we often need some fine tuning with our indoor hunting techniques.

Speaking for myself…I learned my best indoor hunt techniques from Mama Cat…from the Blog of Otis.

Mama Cat taught me the importance of four sequential moves that must be performed by any cat practicing hunting techniques indoors….

WATCH…ANTICIPATE…ACT…

 Watch….

I miss my lessons about proper hunting techniques from Mama Cat…but as you can see…I have not forgotten anything I learned from her…
