Frivolous Friday Stuff

Hiya! Savannah Here! So I thought I would give ya a peek at me being just sort’a frivolous…(vocab builder…yes I am following my big guy Jet in using bigger words)

Ya know Mom just luvluvluvs catching me in weird places and positions with her box thingy that goes FLASH and CLICK…leaves me practically blinded…but hey, it makes her happy.

So I was just tryin’ to check out this box that landed on my front porch…Dad brought it in…Mom unloaded it…and I thought I would make sure it was empty for her…

Then WHAM!!…the ole’ FLASH AND CLICK…

…Mom wasn’t satisfied with that first shot…so she sneeks around (like I’m not gonna see her…oh yeah, right!)…and hits me again, closer and right between the eyes…FLASH and CLICK…

…I decided enough is enough…harummpppphhhh…I turned my back on her…and of course she goes all…”ohhhh isn’t she cute”…and WHAM again…more FLASH and CLICK…

…so then she decides to take a photo of one of my fave toys…my Three Way Tunnel…only now she has my pink tunnel stuck into it too…like it isn’t big enough!

…she took the photo ‘cuz she was hopin’ to catch me hangin’ out in it…and then efurryone could see how it looks WITHOUT my butt sticking out and WITH my butt sticking….that woman…what am I gonna do with her….

…finally…Mom hits the FLASH and CLICK again…just as I am really gettin’ into my pilates workout using the scratch post as my leverage point for doing some ab strengthening moves (noooooo…I am NOT pole dancin’! seriously, I know some of you guys were gonna think that…)…workin’ the abs…especially the lower ones…lift, and lift, and lift for one, two and three…WHAM…FLASH and CLICK…and guess what she gets…

Yup…me with my “pink starfish” right there for the world to see!!! Sheesh…MOM!! STOP IT ALREADY!(oh cat!…thank goodness I keep my hygiene up).. Just ‘cuz the guys over at Katnip Lounge gave us the label for it, ya don’t have to show mine…OK??

So that’s my Frivolous Friday, thanks to Mom and her FLASH and CLICK!

Changes in My Safe Spot…

I know I’m kind’a throwin’ new stuff at ya a lot…but that’s how my life is progressing…and I have other stuff I can talk about later that is, well…errrrr….ummmm…not so ‘new’ about me…but the new stuff is more fun…

So here is something I have noticed lately….do you remember when I first started posting about my recovery process??? And most of my photo ops came from behind the chair I have in our bedroom…and there was always that really pretty afghan hanging down so I could kind’a hide behind it….remember????

….here….remember this….it used to hang all the way to the floor so’s I could really hide behind it…when we got this photo I already had it moved higher up…still safe to get behind, just not totally covered up….

…well check this out…NO AFGHAN!!! TA DA…!!!…..notice how relaxed I am…mmmmm…

…I roll to my back to get a good fix on the black feather wand…ready to snatch when it gets close…

…WHOA!!! it’s gonna get me!!! MOL…I do a quick grab with the right front paw…but again…notice my laid back (yep, pun intended) position…

…but ya can see I was getting my hind paws hooked really good into the post so I could push off to make a fast grab…

…and well…the end of that play session is a story for another time…mostly I wanted you to see…no longer is there an afghan hangin’ over the back of the chair to hide me. I still need to hide behind the scratching post…I go directly here in the morning to solicit pets and food…I still only play in our bedroom…sometimes Mom can get me to play in the living room, but I don’t do that with Dad yet.

And sometimes I play with Mom and even Dad when I am on my cat tower…but not much…but I have come a long long way from hiding behind that afghan…now I prefer to SLEEP and NAP on the afghan instead!!! Not bad for recovery progress, huh???!!!

Oh Cat!!! Another New Fitness Experience!!

Mom and Dad come home one day…and they put this unreal what’cha ‘ma ‘giggy on the floor…they say “Savannah! Isn’t this Great!!!???”…(what, ME??!! I am, in case no one else noticed…one scared, timid adult rescue cat!!) Seriously?? Ya want me to notice that weird thingy and BE INTERESTED???….OMC!…Peeps!!

…harrummmpppfffhh…wellll…maybe just a peek….

…ummmhmmm…seriously…not much…wellll…lemme take another quick peek…

…hmmm…the blue end seems more interesting…

…oh yeah…now this is what I am talkin’ about….

…whoa…check out this RED…Salem and others at Katnip Lounge know all about REYED stuff…wonder if this is the same thing…only bigger? and it doesn’t seem to move lots…hmmm…

..once again…needs further investigation…taking on my FBI role, (Koz and Nellie would be proud)…

…oh, oh, oh…OMC!! Oh Cod!! I missed this first time around…check this out…a hole in the middle…and it is GREEN…hmmmm…wonder what this means…more pondering…

…I must investigate into the middle of the tunnels…only a well trained FBI Agent can do this…carefully, one paw at a time…slowly, slowly…(I hope Satchmo is reading and watching veryyyy closely…)…

…phewww…I am pooped!!…this is totally hard work…

…what??!!…is there a noise??…something is moving under me!! Oh Cod?? What is it???..

…I rush outside after a short rest…and take the ~~plunge~~ risk of jumping into the heart of the 3 Tunnels…ooohhhhh….SHRIMP!!!…(I think that is what Dad and Mom say when they are surprised!!! not sure why…I have never seen a shrimp around when they yell it out…hmmmm…maybe they are saying some other word??….oh well….)

…my butt is stuck!!!…what to do, what to do…cram my body in if I can…that’s all I can do…so terribly dangerous….aaiiieeee….!!!!

Well…that was the adventure of the 3 tunels…at least the starting point…may be more later…who knows…this is a cat’s autobiography after all…just sayin’…
