Saturday Photo Hunt and An Earlier Post…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Another early post…

FEBRUARY 28, 2012 Post:

My First Memories

So, OK. This is what I was told, not what I remember…cuz’ I kinda can’t remember stuff until I was finally saved from the county shelter by Tammy and taken to Kitty Corner…so here is what I was told and I have added the little bit I kinda remember…mostly stuff about how I was feeling…

Intake date – 11/30/10 – night drop at the Martinez shelter. Came in as a stray…

If I could’a cried I would have. OMG…I am in a cage, someone must have trapped me or maybe my last family just couldn’t keep me and so decided to drop me here.
First thoughts…thank you whoever you were that you dropped me at the Martinez shelter and not on the side of the road!!! Whew! First missed bullet!
Oh dear… I am so afraid

I was at the shelter till December 22, 2010– then was taken to Pittsburg Petsmart and then I was brought back to the shelter on January 20th 2011 for a cage break…

Oooohhhh…I am so scared…what is going to happen to me…
Does anyone want me…and what did I do wrong…I am so sorry if I did something wrong… please forgive me
And…I so totally know the Martinez Shelter and Petsmart were really trying to help me—really—they were totally kind…it was all just so scary

Now I have had a cage break—that means I was allowed to be out of a small cage and given a tad more space then taken to Concord Petsmart January 31, 2011

Then…I had to go back to the shelter on Feb 3rd 2011 cuz’ I was showing signs of depression…then I caught a bad cold—called a URI.

I know the shelter was ready to, well….you know what…ummm, ahhhh, put me to sleep forever cuz’ nobody wanted me…I was so withdrawn, hiding in the back of my cage…shivered a lot out of fear I guess…I don’t know…sigh…

Ok, I’m gonna stop for now—I am getting kinda sad and just like humans, we cats have forgotten memories and writing about this stuff is sorta bringing back some of those memories…so I’m gonna go find my Dad or Mom and hang with them right now…I need some pets and maybe a little play time too.

SATURDAY: September 22, 2012

…here is a photo of me in my first days with Mom and Dad…taken with iPhone…I was really scared…

That was what my Mom learned after questioning lots of peeps who were involved with me from the time I was dropped in the night cage at the county shelter.

…now for current times…Mom and Dad have already prepared my ~~prison~~ hotel suite for when I must be secluded while the movers take our furniture on Monday…(this is in keeping with Saturday Photo hunt “ESCAPE”)…this is my Kitty Potty Pod and feeding station…

…and my ~~dark closet~~ bedroom right next to it…

Paw pats, Savannah

Getting Real About Moving…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well, I am getting real about how much time this move is taking for Mom and Dad…and I am trying really hard to nap through most of it…

So, I asked Mom to feel free to do a few posts that repeat of some of my very first ones…I didn’t have many readers and so maybe some of you will enjoy seeing where my thinking was at the beginning of my blog career!

…this is one of the first photos Dad took of me…it was the first time I initiated making contact with Mom…I am sort’a resting my butt on her footsies…

…it was a beginning…

So here is something I think is so impawtant that I wanted to repeat it too…I hope you will all agree with the Tem Commandments for Animals…my former shelter Kitty Corner gives this to all new adopters…hope they read it…

The photos are my before me brothers, Boris (orange and white) Popcorn (orange fluff ball) and my sister Tasha (yes, she had the ‘tortie-tude!’)…and of course there is one of me lying down…you can see my cute front paws with white tips…

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I won’t be visiting much at all for the next 4-5 days. I will try to respond to comments on my posts. And I will post once a day…repeats from my beginning…but a post none the less.

OH YEAH! Mom just reminded me…yesterday was my 200th post!!! Woo Hoo!!!…

Snoopervising Continues…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I am continuing my ‘at a distance’ snoopervisory duties for this move…I don’t get too close to the boxes ‘cuz they might toss me into one!!

Auntie Shannon did not do her regular HOOVER DAY. Instead she packed up Mom’s doll cabinet, it has all her childhood dollies and furniture and stuff in it…

Anyways, I snnopervised from my Bird Watching Tower…

…remember…can’t get too close…and having evil laser eyes helps…

…hmmmm…looks like Auntie Shannon is doing an OK job…

…but I still need to keep a close eye on her…

…OH CAT!! LOOK!!…awww rats!!(no, there are NO rats!…it is just a sill saying peeps use)…you can’t see it…but Auntie Shannon took the evil HOOVER with her!! That must mean it won’t be coming to the new place…how great is that!???

What?…what do you mean?…you guys think maybe Auntie Shannon was taking HOOVER to the new place???…nawwww…she must have just dumped it on the street…right???

Well, a cat can always hope…Paw pats, Savannah
