Monday Meowsie News…zippo

Savannah’Disclaimer: I, Savannah, had NOTHING to do with scheduling this post. Mom has lost it, she thought Sunday WAS Monday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!! (sort of)

You know I like to be an original cat writer. I don’t snatch others’ ideas and pretend they are my own. No siree…I give credit where credit is due.

And today I am giving credit to my pal Spitty…I am totally snatching his idea from this past week…I am starting to paw out grades for Mom and Dad. Just because they are doing all this catsulting work for some university does NOT mean they can ask for simple PASS or FAIL grades…heh…heh…nope!

I also will not be grading them on a curve. Just take a look at the “photos” Mom had for me to use today for my blog post…outrageous I say!! Not a single one in decent focus!!

Me doing some snoopervising of the table clean up…they keep leaving all their papers up there…sheeesh…

Looks like she’s still working

Looks good under here

Mom finally did one little thing for me…I stopped using my pink Princess bed…so she got me a new soft blankie to attract me back…but could she 1) place it inside nice and tidy and 2) take a photo, in focus, of me using it again?? NO! again, a sure sign of the grades to come soon for her.

Out of focus again

Then she intrudes on me while I am napping in my fave box…she was in a hurry, take a photo quick, quick, quick just to give me something…who needs it I say…I should have just skipped today’s post…another embarrassing photo…

Seriously?

As for Dad, he is late, late, late with meal delivery. I have to wait for him to get my breakfast and my dinner to me…*slaps paw to forehead* I am so gonna have to train him all over again…What Mom ???…oh…well, ummmmmm…ahhhhhh….well, yeah…he does bring my first course with my Mira Lax in my delish pumpkin soup directly to me in bed, true, true…BUT…he is usually at least 42 1/2 seconds LATE!

What about my dinner delivery Mom?…huh?…oh…ummm….ok, ok…he does also deliver my first course at dinner directly to me wherever I am…on the couch, by my step…but again…I have been checking and he is probably way beyond 53 seconds late doing that; so there!!!

Fine, fine…Dad may be getting better grades than you…thank Ceiling Cat he doesn’t try to take photos of me…I will be delivering grades for Mom and Dad once they finish this catsulting work…between now and then…my blog posts are so not gonna be pretty…na’mean???

Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Sportin’ my SIbe look!!

Just wanted to start off with some levity…for those of you who might not recognize me in my new SSS Sibe Ears and Tail Plume…you can get that little update HERE…

And in case you might not know WHY I have long dreamed of becoming a Sibe…ya know…always a ‘Wanna Be’…you can check out my luv affair with Nanuk ever since I first arrived in my furrever home…click HERE

You can also check out my link on the top of my blog page…OTRB

Now as for my reasons for purring up a storm this week…first there is my increasingly intimate relationship with Mom Linda…

I luvluvluv having my toes held by Mom

Never, ever in my first 2 years in my furrever home would I have allowed touching my toesies…now I relish it…for a short period…MOL

And then…our bird TV finally kicked up a notch tonight…after 18 months in this rental…we have managed to attract our first woodpecker…can’t tell the type yet…too far off…but he waited long enough for Mom to get her extra telephoto to get the best close up we could…

Mr or Ms Woodpecker

And today I found my first sun puddle on the landing between the two levels of our stairs…I am slowly regaining my role as “stair case troll” given to me almost 2 years ago by the gang over at Katnip Lounge.

I sort of saved the best for last as far as what I am purring so loudly about this week. Sit back, pull up a chair…this is gonna be complicated…nawwwwwwwwwwwwwww….just kidding…seriously…

So I told Mom that Dad needed to dump that old iPad she ‘dumped’ on him when she upgraded hers…no, no…no family friction over any of this…*koff, choke, giggle*…so Dad had a friend who gave him some green papers for his old one…Mom said “no problem”…but those green papers go into Nana’s “rescue fund”…of course what was Dad gonna say???…

Taaaaaa….Daaaaaaa…..I got some green papers to use as I purrlease…and here is my very first ever with my own green papers rescue pledge…just another Pawing It Forward Project at Casa Savannah…

…please welcome newly rescued Fontaine!…

Thank you all for your help

Now do not, absolutely DO NOT GET ALL LEAKY EYED…yes, just as I looked when I was dumped at a kill shelter…there were no make up support staff present, no one to tidy me or Fontaine up… BUT…ITS A MIRACLE!!!…sharing on Face Book SAVED FONTAINE!! WOO HOO!!!

Dozens and dozens of people across the USA raised over $1550 USD to allow a small rescue to pull her…AND SHE IS ALREADY ADOPTED by one of my FB furriends!!

Fontaine’s Story: “FRACTURE OF DISTAL HUMERUS (DISTAL LIMB DISPLACED MEDIALLY”…PERFECT SCORE 4 PURRING, EXTREME LOVE BUG Fontaine!!…”allows the stroke, rubs on the assessor’s hand, purrs, and appreciates petting on the head and body; interacts with the Assessor, solicits attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting!!””…PRECIOUS, DARLING Fontaine at $1550 in pledge offers

While I wish I could post a rescue like this every week; selling my Dad’s iPad allowed me to help this one cat. But as I have said earlier; sharing on FB, Twitter, posting on your blogs…it all saves lives of rescued companion animals. NO GREEN PAPERS REQUIRED!

PLEASE do not respond to someone sharing about rescue with a simple “purrs he/she gets saved”…share, share, share…it does indeed save lives across this world; in places you did not even know someone…trust me…this is true.

And just a reminder…with one more small request to share…remember my furriend Tiny who has almost been at my former rescue a whole year, just like me. She still does not have a home…not even one single inquiry. And not many were able to share about her when I posted about her last week

Well Mom Linda and Dad Peter agreed to do the early morning clean up for Kitty Corner, my shelter, yesterday. Mom took some photos of Tiny as she waited in the rest room (water closet, toilet, etc) for someone to join her…doesn’t she look like a cat who is just waiting for her forever home to find her???

Help her if you can through sharing via blog posts, Twitter, Face Book…or any other social media you use. My purrrs of gratitude will overwhelm you…

Now, I join Pepi Smart Dog’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop…because I have so very much to be purring about…please click on the badge to transport to other incredible thankfulness…

Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

My purr motor is cranked to high right now because I am working some Paw It Forward Projects. And I am hoping you will help me with both of them…all you have to do is share, share, share…that’s it…and if you want to or can do more…PAWSOME!!

Paw It Forward …My Passion

Now, I also missed my most favorite post to write...Blog 4 The Change…so I am counting this one as my contribution…late…but just the same…I intend to BE THE CHANGE every day of every week of every month of every year that I am able…and Mom Linda and Dad Peter both have my back on this.

Now this first Paw It Forward Project is complete. BUT…you can all join in to help just by thinking about sharing on your blogs, Twitter and Face Book…and for some of you this may be tough. It has been for me. You see, my pal Nissy works hard every day to post the Pets on Death Row list for the New York City Animal Control Center (NYC ACC). He shares it via his Face Book page…and I just hated seeing all those cats looking so miserable.

Then I learned about ‘making pledges’ to save a life or lives. You see every day of every week non-profit rescues try to pull as many of the dogs and cats from the NYC ACC system as fast as their funds will allow. I discovered that if I saved as much as $5 USD each month, I could ‘pledge’ that for a particular cat….I don’t see the woofie list, sorry…and maybe, just maybe my green papers will help a rescue with strained funds, but with a big heart, be able to pull just one of those cats.

So, my pal Nissy looks for me…tells me at the beginning of the month when he sees a cat he knows needs special help and I hop on line, click on that cat’s photo and make my pledge. That’s it. I can only do this once a month, but in one year…I will hopefully help save 12 cats.

Please meet my first kitty I have been able to help avoid being PTS by NYC ACC…Meet little Miss Hicks…

Eleven months old, cited as ‘owner surrender/stray’…she is pregnant. Now, thanks to Feline Rescue of Staten Island, she is safe. She will have her babies, they will be properly socialized and made adoptable and Hicks will be spayed and also helped to her forever home. By literally hundred of us sharing via Face Book the plight of Hicks, we raised enough for the rescue to know they could afford to pull her.

All I ask is that each and every one of you consider finding a way to help those who are courageous enough to post about Pets on Death Row…just think…if each of us saves one or more cats or dogs a year…we ARE THE CHANGE…MOST IMPORTANT…you do not need to donate green papers…but find a cat or woofie you hope to see saved and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE…no green papers involved in that…just sayin’…

My next Paw It Forward Project which is ongoing. This little ladycat has been a resident at my former shelter for far too long. She, just as I, was labeled, or as my BFGF Cathy Keisha might say ‘profiled’…Tiny is her name and she is a tuxie wonder! And long thought not able to change so as to be adoptable. And then my wonderful staff at Contra Costa Humane Society decided to take her out of the cat population at Kitty Corner and bring her into their offices. TINY BLOOMED!!! She will have been at Kitty Corner for one year come this July…I am asking all of you…not matter where you live to SHARE, SHARE, SHARE Tiny…you never know who you know who may know someone who lived in California.

We will make sure she can be transported within 4 hours of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Please welcome TINY…

That’s it for my Paw It Forward Projects. Because of this I join Pepi Smart Dog’s Thankful Thursday Blog hop…click on the badge to be transported to others…

Finally, I have been gone too long from my girl furriend Jonesie’s garden report…so sorry Jonesie…here is my garden…
