I Spy with My Own Little Eyes—

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

First I want to THANK all of my reader for visiting my blog post on Friday, July 15. It was a crowd pleaser for lots of folks.

In fact, The Kid Sage and I are now planning our own road trip to visit the OTHER PROJECT BAY CAT feeding site and Mom L isn’t gonna get to go. More about that later.

Now on to this game our little visitors taught us when they visited in June from England. As some of you know I like to watch some bird TV when I sit next to Mom L at night while she watches human TV. These long Summer daylight hours give me lots of opportunity to do that too.

Playing "I Spy with My Own Little Eyes"

Playing “I Spy with My Own Little Eyes”

This game is kind’a like my bird TV, only I have to say “I spy with my own little eyes”…and then meow a clue about what I am looking at. So I did that with The Kid Sage. I meowed that “I spy with my own little eyes something with wings.”

And she guessed the answer right away! Who knew??!! We have a genius in my castle home. But, who wouldn’t have guessed it as that bird took flight and TKS had to look up to identify it for our game!

It's a bird...or maybe a plane?...or kite??

It’s a bird…or maybe a plane?…or kite??

Next thing I knew, TKS was playing this “I Spy” game with ME!!

I spy with my own little eyes...HRH Nana aka Savvy

I decided to ignore her for that moment. And next thing I knew—later in the evening as the dusk descended on our bird TV channel, I felt those eyes on me yet again.

Early evening bird TV channel—ummm—I feel eyes on my back

Of course TKS just cannot keep her eyes off my gorgeous Russian Blue furs.

I'm sure she doesn't suspect I am watchin' her

I’m sure she doesn’t suspect I am watchin’ her

Now you tell me how you watch your bird and squirrel TV—do you have housemates? Do you share your channels? Talk to me my pals.

Human Domination in Two Easy Steps

HIYA!  SAVANNAH HERE!!

I bet’cha I have your attention now, don’t I?

The steps are actually very simple, unless you happen to be a woofie over about twenty pounds (nine kg)! I can’t demonstrate this process myself and you will see shortly why. I asked The Kid Sage (TKS) to step up and do the demo.

Here ya go—

First Step—step lightly onto your human’s lap (see, I can’t get to the first step—really a bummer). No eye contact to start. Be sure to snuggle up close to their body and spend a bit of time arranging your front paws for maximum “cuteness”. Adopt a relaxed, serene pose and stare off into space as though you have much on your mind.

I am so gonna own Mom L

*sigh* So relaxing, so much to think about—

Second step—Let me warn you, don’t try this on your human’s lap unless you have practiced this technique in front of a mirror. This is the crucial step to achieve human domination, and you will get only one chance to get this right.

After you have been on the lap long enough to allow the human to feel your warmth, maybe even the soft rumble of your purr, then when you feel you have the human in a state of bliss—turn your head slowly, tilt upward toward your human. NOW make direct eye contact, and show your adoration of your human with a look, you know the look, and the human will be dominated for the rest of the day. You will receive anything you want. Trust me.

You have dominated the human—score one for cats!

You are the most special human in my whole life—I love you

My thanks to TKS for the demo, she does it better than I do. Well, of course I can do the “look” part, I just don’t do the “sit on the lap” part. Which, I must say, is very important to lasting domination. Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have that “look” in your tool kit for managing your humans.

The Kid Sage for Wordless Wednesday #playfulcat

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Almost wordless—truly—seriously. The Kid Sage (TKS)  has THREE very, very short videos. Each one is about three to 10 seconds at most.

Once I showed off my Playful Savannah photos, she just could not stop yowling at Mom L and me to get some “action” shots of her. Pfffffttt! I say, but sadly Mom L did not agree.

TKS was caught today, playing with one of the most favorite toys we share—a mini drumstik and I am embarrassed to say I cannot recall who gave this to us *hangs ears*.

So here TKS is in her not so glorious self.

That box was from Amazon and TKS didn’t give it two nanoseconds before she jumped in it to play with that tiny nip drumstik.

Mom L said she could have gone on FOREVER tossing that toy into and out of that box and TKS would just keep on chasing it. Too bad she never learned to bring it back!

And there you go—an almost wordless blog post from yours truly, the long winded Ms Savvy Do! (that’s my Twitter handle)—heh—heh.

Please don’t forget you have until Thursday, February 25, NOON PST to vote on your favorite photos of MOI, myself, ME—to let all the world know which of FIVE photos best shows off my PLAYFUL SAVANNAH.

This is truly important to me because, you see, when Mom L and Dad P first placed me in that PTU at my last former residence and asked “can we have a couple of toys because we don’t have any?” They were told not to worry, “Savannah doesn’t play much.” I hope you will help me let humans know that even those of us who seem shy, and withdrawn, do indeed have a CRAZY-PANTS CAT inside just waiting to be let out.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH
