Never A Moment Alone

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!

I don’t mean to always been whinging about havin’ to give up space and sun puddles to TKS. But com’on guys! Does she hav’ta show up everywhere I go??!!

TKS sniffs sun puddle

Now ya know what I mean. Just because I absconded with her preferred sun puddle, when it started to get lots bigger, is no call for her to keep on stalkin’ followin’ me. Ya know, it’s like she has a sixth sense, or maybe even a ninth sense!! MOUSES!! She may even have managed to take her nine lives and add a new URL to ’em so she also got three MORE senses!! Is that possible?

Savvy ponders her fate

Thank Ceiling Cat she didn’t sniff me out and I can chill’ax. Ya see this particular sun puddle area has a real nice feel to it. My humans open the slider door so I can hear the lovely chimes and listen to the burdies down in the patio chompin’ away at the two feeders. *shhhh* Don’t let those Trout Towne residents know I like the sound of the burdies.

I was about ready to let my head droop against the slider door and settle in for a nice morning nap when my most dread dream came true—

Savvy grumbles

Sadly there ya have it. Moments later I had to give up that swell sun puddle ‘cuz TKS just had to come over and try to chat with me. And yup, there was a hiss and a snarl as I exited my coveted special morning sun puddle. Such is the life of a mature former adult shelter cat now living with an immature shelter teenage shelter cat.

Can any of you relate to my circumstance? For Cod’s sake, please tell me how ya cope ‘cuz I am out of tactics to dissuade TKS. Can you even IMAGINE?—she wants to “play” with me? Why, I don’t even know what that means. Let alone what that looks like. I try, really I do. But when I wriggle my butt and pounce toward her, she pounces back!!! So I hiss and spit and flee. What is it that I am not getting right? Any suggestions?

A Vulture Exists in My Castle

HIYA!  SAVANNAH HERE!!

My reaction to learning I had a VULTURE, a BURD, living in my castle with me was, well—it was a gobsmacking moment I can tell you!

There I was, just hanging out on the couch with Mom L as she watched the news and I was watchin’ the even more important news on Burd TV Channel. I was chilled, relaxed and never suspecting that something was weird.

Wow! Look at the action on that burd feeder!

Wow! Look at the action on that burd feeder!

And yet, as chillaxin’ as my TV channel was, I kept feelin’ like something, or something else, was like hangin’ over my shoulders—do you ever have that sense? Like your whiskers are tellin’ you “Look out!!”.

I just know something weird is watchin' me

I just know something weird is watchin’ me

I had no idea, none whatsoever, that I was being STALKED by none other than, of course, The Kid Sage.

I am watchin' you, YRH Savannah—can you feel me?

I am watchin’ you, YRH Savannah—can you feel me?

You know what it felt like? Well let me tell you I felt like I was bein’ watched by some despicable VULTURE BURD!!

Your tail is lookin' mighty tasty YRH Savannah

Your tail is lookin’ mighty tasty YRH Savannah

I think I may need a bodyguard detail, do I have any volunteers?

EB Feline Condition—Nature or Nurture?

HIYA!  SAVANNAH HERE!!

I am going to raise a concerning condition, found in some cats, but not all. For myself, I believe I have had it for a very long time. It comes and goes, but nonetheless, it appears to endure. For myself, I believe it is a “Nature” condition—meaning inherited from either side of my family. My readers must ask themselves, should they find the courage to speak about EB, whether or not is it “Nature” versus “Nurture” for themselves.

There is a clear sign, for me, when this condition is coming on. Some believe that I am in pain, and begging the human to leave me alone.

You really wanna do this?

You really wanna do this?

And even with my bonded human, Mom L, I appear to have the same look before my EB kicks in—*hides face in paws*

I just do not now how to control this condition

I just do not know how to control this condition

And then EB kicks in, and I cannot control it—please, please tell me in comments if any of you cats, or even woofies for that matter, seem to have this same/similar EB Condition. It is embarrassing to speak about, but we must come out into the open and share how we manage this condition.

Feline Veterinary medicine has yet to determine if this is based on our “Nature” or on how we are “Nurtured”.  What say you all my pal???

Here I am, after the first suggestion above that my EB Condition is going to kick in—

oh yeah...engaging EB

oh yeah…engaging EB

And most recently with Mom L, I once again caved into this EB Condition—

Even as a senior cat I continue to have this affliction

Even as a senior cat I continue to have this affliction

I first mentioned this most concerning feline condition last year. I would so treasure learning from any and all my feline readers if you suffer from this ailment which no cat will ever speak of. Now I confess—Elevator Butt is the unspeakable condition. I do believe that cats are the most prone for this ailment, but perhaps my woofie pals will chime in with additional information.
