Test Driving My Prezzie…

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!

I promised to show you my test drive of my new scratcher…that’s what was in that humongous box sent to me by Mistletoe and Hitch!  If you don’t  know Mistletoe, you can meet here by clicking HERE…she is a member of the Real Rescue Cats Are Talking Club!!

Anyways, not to digress (VBP)…here is how I approached my first tryout on this big bad scratcher…(I still had my glorious long, sharp claws at this point…they were whacked away days later…thanks lots Mom and Dad…like NOT!)

…first, the sniff test…this was done pre-shipping to me…Hitch covered the shipping sniff test…

THANKS SO MUCH MISTLETOE AND HITCH FOR MY “JUST BECAUSE” PREZZIE!!

Monday Meowsie News…

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!

Well I got a package…sort of a “Just Because” prezzie from my good furriends Mistletoe and Hitch! Mom said I should tell you about the package first…then let you see me using what is in it…heh…heh…

Sounds good to me Mom…so the UPS person delivered this package and Dad hefted (VBP) it into my office…and unceremoniously(another VBP) dumped placed it on the floor.  He looked pointedly (sorry, another VBP) at me and Mom…and said…”well, I guess you know who THIS is for???”

I looked up sweetly…why Dad?…could it be for ME?

Dad finally had to laugh and said “Yes Savvy, this is for YOU”

You can see from the size of the package why Dad was all dramatic about it…

The “TEST DRIVE” will be posted on Wednesday…heh…heh…it was very active…at least for me!

Now one more thing to share, and I know efurryone is getting lots of Holiday Cards and no need to post about efurry single one we get…but I really want to share the card from some of my BFFs (Best Feline Furriends) from across the pond who I have known since they started blogging…My Three Moggies sent me this card and they each drew themselves as part of their pawtograph…and I was totally impressed!!

moggies card 1

…and the pawtographs…

moggies card 2

You can see my special mancat furriend, Archie is, or course, first…then there is Oscar…and Henry! Of course Mom Michelle and Dad Craig signed too…

That’s it for my Monday Meowsie News…I have a small set back today in my “one paw forward recovery plan”…Dad had to scruff me again yesterday so Mom could clip my nails…I was getting caught in the carpet…and this time…I was sort of a bit traumatized…I have gone UTB today…I was more shaken up than before, not sure why. And it’s not Dad’s fault because I won’t allow anyone to pick me up…Mom is sticking around today so she and I can play later.

Lastly, hope you drop around tomorrow for my final 2012 Real Rescue Dogs Are Talking interview with TWO great guests…

A Very Easy Sunday

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

We are making this an easy Sunday.  I did something on Friday that was pretty different for me.  Mom had a little lie down nappy, and she was using a throw pillow to shield her face from a sun puddle that was introoding on her lie down…

And I thought…hmmm…nice sun puddle…why should Mom have it all to herself…so I hopped up on the pillow she was using…and laid down…

Mom managed to get up gently and use her our new iPad to snap this photo…

…she was using the quilted pillow with rectangles…and I was half lying on it until she moved…I don’t get close to peeps’ heads…but I really wanted some of that sun puddle!

Have a peaceful and love filled Easy Sunday…
