For Me? You’re Kidding, Right?!!: Friday Frolics

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

And then…”IT” arrived…

INTROODER ALERT!!!

We left you last Friday with the following video …if you watched already…no need to do so again…same video…

This is a photo of our first recorded interaction…”Morning With Mom”

Dateline Nov 5, 2013…4 days after “IT” arrived

…….ten days later…after they tried to coerce me to smell her…HAH!…she has now heard my hisser when I set it on LOUD! note the dates, and click to bigify

Nov 14, 2013 airplane ears approaching

Nov 14, 2013 both ears

Nov 14, 2013 eyes

…and then …she tries again…different position…same tactic…stoopid kid…

She really thinks I don’t smell her

November 14, 2013…Creeping…

Closer…

Things just kept getting more and more interesting…and my growls and snarls and hisses more and more loud and often…

Nov 16…hisssssss

…by the way…there are no photos from mid January 2014 until about March 2014. Mom L and Dad P were gone for almost a month…another ‘Get Away’…seriously?!

They got what they deserved upon returning…heh…heh…

and now things really start to change…

May 1, 2014…camouflaged as turtle

May 28, 2014…I’ll just make sure she is safe

June 1, 2014…I just want to be closer

The month of June, 2014…has seen Sage learn to be more respectful of my privacy and my own space…and I…well…I have begun to learn I can move around even in her presence and still be safe…I still have to use my hisser to make sure she knows I want space…but she is hearing me loud and clear…thank Ceiling Cat!

June 10…next time…bet I can touch her nose

June 12…no nose touching yet

June 15…I know The Kid is gonna touch me!

And now for our big breakthrough…June 17…Mom L and Dad P left us alone, together, for the very first time ever and went to the gym…they worried about Savvy ending up under the bed or behind the couch…but they knew from everything all of you taught them…they had to try…and let us girls sort ourselves out…

Sharing a sun puddle

Promise I won’t get too close

See, told ya so…in Mom L’s office

And I am still here…in my bed

And here we are …once again…June 17, 2014…right where we started Nov 5, 2013…if only the humans would learn…heh…heh…

June 17, 2014 back to the future

Paw Pats, Savannah

Tossed Away: Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!

This is my unhappy look

First of all…this story has a VERY happy ending. My purrs are cranked to high along with The Kid Sage because Mom L told us about the incredible rescue of these precious kittens when they were just about 2 weeks old…

Dumped Alive in Dumpster

They are about 4 weeks old in this photo…my former Vet Doc Josie, retired but not out of being a cat specialist…she fostered them for a week and Mom L went up to meet and hold them.

They, along with two other siblings, were discarded alive in a large garbage (rubbish) dumpster. A volunteer from Community Concern for Cats (CC4C) heard them and found them…they were covered in food and garbage. Likely they had not been there too long…hours, not days, as they were not too badly dehydrated. Unfortunately, two of them died.

These two, however, are now doing well. The black kitten had to have sub-q fluids which Doc Josie administered…and he was touch and go over about 15 hours. Doc Josie was feeding him every 3 or so hours. She thinks he is doing great now! They are both eating kitten wet cat food like champs.

This is a slideshow of the two surviving kittens…they appear a bit dirty..but they are receiving constant sponge baths..besides being messy eaters…they were, after all, tossed out as trash in a garbage dumpster.
