TIssue Paper Rocks!

THIS ONE IS FOR MY PAL SAMMY!!!

Sammy, over at One Spoiled Cat, taught me all about tissue paper play!! Oh My Cat! My first time tryin’ it…WHAT A RUSH!!

After Mom read about Sammy’s collection of tissue, she promised to ge tme some of my own…harummppphh…never happened! So Dad buys this nice pair of new sandals…and guess what?? YES! They are wrapped in tissue paper!

So Mom gets two pieces and puts them on the floor…Dad says “Hey, what if I want to take them back??” And Mom says “Return them without the tissue paper honey, Savannah needs it more…” MOL

Anyways, so now me and Mom are on the floor…with the tissue paper…and I just sort’a sit there and stare at it…so Mom knows my fave toy is my black feather wand…so she gets it and starts to put it under the paper…

…and I’m thinkin’ ‘now your talkin’ Mom”…this could be interesting…so I reach over and just lightly ‘tap’ the tissue paper…aieeeeee!!! WHAT A GREAT NOISE!!! Just like Sammy said…it is CRINKLY!!!….

…then I kind’a find myself sitting on the tissue paper…hmmmm…oopps! Something is under my butt??!!…

..Oh Cat! Now it’s under my tummy…must attack…must kill…spreading front paws wide to trap it….

…AIIEEE…it is getting away…I launch my whole body across the tissue paper…not matter the awful (not really) noise it makes…trying to trap what’s under it with my front VERY strong paws and a good ole body slam!….

…phewwww! Now it’s back under where it belongs…but wait a minute…is that a peek under the sheet of tissue paper…lemme test it with one paw…verrryy carefully…

…oh, oh, oh…it’s getting away AGAIN!! Quick grab under the tissue paper…no matter the risk to myself…

…uummphhfff…can’t quite reach it…shover paws and nose under…again, taking the risk it won’t attack me…full offensive attack mode from me now….pant, pant…

…there…the tissue paper is now deaded!! Bring on the next one! …yelling at Dad…”Hey Dad, could ya go use your plastic card thingy and bring home some more shoes??!!”

Yep…I am luvluvluvin the tissue paper!!

Paw pats to all, Savannah

Monday Meowsie News…

OH MY CAT!!!!! JUST WHEN I WAS ALMOST OVER THE EXCITEMENT OF RECEIVING THE SUNSHINE AWARD…I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!

My new furriend Texas, A Cat in New York, just gave the Liebster Award to me…I am truly humbled…(waving paw in front of face, twitching tail repeatedly)…whew!

The protocol for getting this award is as follows:

1. Link back to the person who nominated me: Texas, A Cat in New York

2. Nominate five (5) bloggers who have less than 200 followers (if you can tell).

In no particular order, here are my Liebster Blog nominees:

Clowie’s Corner
Satchmo The Cat
CATachresis
The World’s Most Stunning Cat
On The Road With Animal Couriers

I tried to tell if each of these bloggers had less than 200 followers, but it was not easy to find on some sites. But I love all of these and so hope they can accept…

Now, just a tad more of Monday Meowsie News…but I don’t have a photo to go with it…I was too fast for Mom!!! MOL

So most of you know, I am still in my recovery process…learning how to play again, how to trust and stuff. Well, one of the things I kind’a unlearned during my time in limbo, then in the shelters…is I unlearned how to leap and jump sort’a. I only get 2 feet off the ground at one time…anything more is pretty scary right now.

Welllll…last night…Mom was playing with me…she and Dad bought me lots of toys lately…anyways…she tossed a little pink shiny nip toy to me…and it rolled, I chased it and THEN….wait for it ……wait for it…..

YES! PAW PUMPS!!! I JUMPED…ALL 4 PAWS OFF THE FLOOR…and landed on top of it, hatched it for a while (like seconds)…then hooked my right set of claws in it and slung it down the hall….and chased it like a crazy cat!! WOO HOO! WHAT A RUSH

I looked at Mom…her mouth was open…her eyes looked kind’a wild like…and then she said something like, ummm…maybe…wellll….I think it sounded like “holly sheep”…or something like that.

So ‘cuz I didn’t give her time to take a photo…here are a couple of me playin’ and stuff…just to tide you over until I share my adventure in my Harry Potter Closet with you….

first…here is my first USED TISSUE PAPER TOY…in honor of my BFF Sammy, at One Spoiled Cat…he whispered to me once “Savannah, try Tissue Paper Toy”…so I did…here is what it looked like when I was done…

…then here is another shot of me and my paper bag…

Well, it has been a pretty big Monday Meowsie News at least for me…so I am gonna go find a quiet nap spot…

Paw pats, Savannah

Receiving Sunshine From Furriends…

I have been acknowledged by 2 of my pawsome blog furriends. I was given the totally cool Sunshine Award by my UK pals across the pond at My Three Moggies and also by my misplaced French pal who now finds himself in none other than the great city of New York…Texas, a cat in New York.

I am still so new to the anipal blogging world, I did not even think many would remember me…blushing…I am so humbled by recognition…My very very first came from my first cat blog pal who lives in VA…Sammy, and I don’t really think he is spoiled at all…just deserving of his privileges…MOL…..he’s over at One Spoiled Cat and gave me the ABC Award…more blushes…

So as you may know these are the instructions for earning this award…

Link the award to the person who gave it to you…a conundrum for me as I was given it by two furriends, so I have opted to link it to the first I received which was from My Three Moggies.

Answer the questions that come with it
Pass it along to 10 people and let them know they have received it

Here are the questions and MY answers:

Favorite number: 9
Favorite Non-alcoholic drink: Water, but only if it is from my special ceramic fountain!
Facebook or Twitter: Definitely Twitter…luvluvluv the Paw Pawties and #NipClub and #wlf
My Passion: beef, chicken when paired with LIVER…yuummm…smacking , licking lips…
Favorite pattern: the shadows I cast when I walk around my furrever home soaking up sun puddles…purrrr
Favorite Day of the Week: The day it is
Favorite Flower: YIKES! I never, ever, go outside…hmmm…I tried to eat Dad’s little bamboo plant thingy…does that count???

In no particular order our nominations for The Sunshine Award are:
The Creative Cat
Hey Its Jet Here
The Three Cat Yard
Katnip Lounge
Rumpy Dog
The Blog of Otis
Dakota’s Den
Nerissa’s Life
The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey
Hutch A Good Life

I hope all of the anipal bloggers I have passed the award to know how much light and encouragement they have given me as a new blogger and more importantly, as an adult rescue cat in recovery. And I hope to return some of that light…live in sun puddles when you can…

Just to close…a photo of me finally getting ALLLLL the way into that bag…except of course for my ever present butt and tail…sigh…
