So Much To Be Thankful About

HIYA!!!  SAVANNA HERE!!!!!

I have to extend my Christmas package opening one more day…because I want to let efurryone know how grateful I am that I have such a pawsome furrever home…and even more pawsome furriends.

I received more holiday greeting cards in the mail and  e-cards than Dad and Mom!!  And some of my furriends were so kind to give me gifts I never ever expected.  Never ever did this adult shelter rescue cat believe she could have such a life…and now I do!

THANK YOU ALL FOR EFURRYTHING YOU SAY, DO, GIVE AND FOR JUST BEING HERE TO FOLLOW ALONG IN MY PAW TRACKS AS I SHARE MY RECOVERY JOURNEY

Mom and I decided to use the WP Slideshow to share my first ever holiday package opening.  Some show me with my first stocking…then me with the gray floofy warm nap mats Dad bought special for me; then my BFGF Cathy Keisha sent me a package of toys I REALLY like and some NIP that actually has me very interested.  The toys CK sent are the one with me drooling on it, putting the bitey to it and actually lifting it up to my face for a better bitey. I even picked it up like a dog and gave it a really good shaking!! Then I got a new pink fish nip toy that is pretty nice and some kind of stupid interesting thingy that stands there with a mousey on top of a floppy stick…not sure what the heck to do with that one???

CLICK ON ANY OF THEM TO BIGIFY OR WATCH AS SLIDESHOW

The photo of the GORGEOUS rocks painted like cats was a prezzie from Cathy Keisha and TW to Mom!! She really luvs them and they will have a home in a nice glass dish to sit on our coffee table.

Thank you all again for being my furriends.  Hard to believe I have been blogging for less than one year and have so many to call ‘furriends’.  I am one very fortunate adult shelter rescue cat.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I might have one other post about Christmas if I receive my Secret Santa Paws package.  It looks like it has been lost in transit…but will let you know if I get it.

My First Night Before Christmas…

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well, as most of you know…at Christmas time last year I had only been with Mom and Dad for about 3 weeks and I was still their “Foster Cat”…and I spent a lot of time UTB back then AND Mom and Dad didn’t think they wanted a full time cat furramily member…so I didn’t have much interest in the Christmas tree.

FAST FORWARD TO THIS YEAR!!

I know this is my furrever home.  My confidence keeps growing and I knew the Christmas tree was MY OUR tree…so first, I knew there were four ‘pretend’ prezzies under the tree…for my photo shoots and stuff, remember?… Mom and Dad don’t gift so I figured that was that, and no problem…really…

Well…all of a sudden stuff appeared under my our tree that had not been there before…and this year, I was not afraid of the tree!…so I checked the new stuff out…

…hmmmm…look at that…something new….

nite before 7

….oh…there’s more…nice paper…wonder if I can have a sniff…

nite before 8

…ummm…better make sure this is still my our tree…

nite before 9

…what’s that on the other side…MEOWSER!…this one is big!…

nite before 1

…now that’s an interesting smell…sniff, sniff…

nite before 2

…maybe I can tell more if I get a teensy bit closer…sniff, sniff…this underside is interesting…

nite before 3

…I gotta get under it to get a better whiff…snuffle, snuffle…kerchoo!!!..wipes nose with paw, sorry…

nite before 4

…well, I wonder who all those prezzies are for…If any are for me, then I need to get my claws ready…

nite before 5

…and once more from the other direction…gets those claws sharpened from a different angle…

nite before 6

…oh!  Look up there on the mantle…there’s stuff in my stocking!…

nite before 10

What Mom ???…what do you mean “wait”????

Mouses!!!…sometimes Mom and Dad can be so intense (VBP)…sheesh…don’t you just hate it when they use that word “WAIT”???  Na’mean???

That was my first exploration of my our tree on the night before Christmas…

Sunday Easy…NOT!!!

HIYA!!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I have been such a slug lately…I don’t play much…I won’t run up and down the stairs…maybe the holidays are getting to me????

How ’bout the rest of you??…are you feeling sluggish???   Na’mean???  What is that all about????

Anywho, Mom decided I was not getting enough exercise.  She wanted me to have more ‘aerobic’ time so I could get my heart rate going, burn some lactic acid out of my muscles and stuff…whatever!!!!!!!  She frets (VBP) too much if you ask me…but no one ever does…I know, I know…she just thinks I am in another regression place…sigh…next thing I know she will ask me to wear a cat heart rate monitor and then track my progress on the computer…Thank Ceiling Cat they don’t make those yet for us cats…dodged that dart for now!!

So she brought out the big toys…well, actually…a very small toy…ummmm…really, not even a toy….Mom brought out the REYED!!!…remember this beasty?? It drove Salem and Sylvester over at Katnip Lounge to distraction VBP)!!!  Poor Sylvester was even driven(VBP) to flash his…ahem…koff, koff…ummmm…ya know…his (psstt…whispers behind paws…) his pink starfish

…the REYED did not get the better of ME!!!…

That REYED (red enticing yet elusive dot) is fast!

Well, my heart rate is up…and I am having to repeat this every day now until Mom thinks I am “out of regressive” behavior…where does she come up with all these worries??? (slaps paw to forehead!!)

Here, let’s play some more, OKAY!!..
