Arrival In New Zealand…ROAD TRIP!!

…the Old Booke Shoppe and Zealandia Mystery Adventure continue… (Beginning episodes on Dash Kitten, HERE, and Nerissa’s Life, HERE, and Savannah’s Paw Tracks, HERE)…

Previously on Savannah’s Paw Tracks…
Nissy: Naw…go on, text Dash to get ready to pull us through the 3rd tunnel on your transport…I know we both have to get through to the middle green section where your controls are…then we should eject with Dash’s help.
Savvy:  OK, but first give me that sprig…(Savvy tucks it into her fanny pak)…I don’t trust you having it so close to you.
 Alright…let’s get going…Dash is waiting for us at the third tunnel to pull us through if we need any help…”

Savannah:  (yowling for Dash)…DASH!!!???

Dash:  Savvy??…Nissy??…are you both in there???

Savannah:  yes, who else would be in here?? Come on, help me get out…(reaches paws up to Dash…)…kerplop!! Ouch!!  Dash, you didn’t have to drop me on my tail ya know!

Dash:  Oh, sorry Savvy…ummm…it was kind of hard getting your, ahhh, ummmm….you know…your rear end out and all

Savannah:  thanks lots Dash…Spitty wouldn’t say something like that to me ya know…harummppff.  And besides, it was because my fanny pak got stuck…(Savannah pads around to the top of the 3 Way Teleport Tunnel to reach in a get her fanny pak)…go on Dash…help Nissy…he’s a mess again

Nissy and Savvy Arrive

Dash:  Nissy, grab hold of my paws…ummmppffffff…OK, he’s out Savvy

Savannah:  (looks over at the jeep Dash brought)…nice ride Dash…purrfect choice.  We have some really rugged country to get across before we can reach a high cliff over the ocean.

Dash:   Savvy, what’s this all about?  All I did was send Nissy an old book from an old book shop…I just thought he would be interested in that dried up sprig I found…but I never thought to have you both dash down here (no pun) or anything…what’s going on??

Savannah:  Ask Nissy…but let’s get going first.  We have a long way to go if we are gonna find the sunken continent of Zealandia…I have a feeling this is not gonna go well…just sayin’…

Dash, you have to drive…I have the map of the lost sunken continent of Zealandia…

Dash:  Ok, I have a map of New Zealand with me…let’s go.

Savannah:  (sitting between the two mancats…pondering how they will ever find out if any of the long lost Necata canipbis is left anywhere in Zealandia.  And Savannah continues to have a nagging thought that some “one” or some “thing” is trying to manipulate Nissy…but why???)

And off they go…whomping and bumping along dirt and gravel roads…

Nissy:  Thank Cod you got a 4 wheel drive Dash!!

Jeep take 2

This mountain road is rugged…koff, koff…hack…not to mention dusty!!  I feel a serious hairball coming on…drive a bit slower Dash.

Savannah, let me take a look at that map.  Maybe we can find a really good cliff over the ocean where we can see any islands left from Zealandia.

(Dash slams on the brakes, all 3 cats sink claws into the leather seats)…WHAT??!!

SPLOOSH!!…Sorry guys, I didn’t see this stream through the brush…kawhomp, splash…drip, drip…

Savannah pulls some MRE’s (Mice Ready to Eat) out of her fanny pak…do you guys want to have some noms??  I don’t usually go for the raw diet cat food, but this was all packaged, so I brought enough for all of us.

Nissy and Dash…licking chops…yummmmmm….let’s pull over  and have a bite and use the great outdoor litter box…heh…heh

After what seemed to Savannah a kabillion hours…they finally reach the cliff they want…overlooking the ocean…all 3 cats peer out over the ocean…looking for bits of sunken Zealandia sticking up from the ocean.

Savannah:  Guys, I think I see something…way out…see that little spot?

Nissy:…oh yeah…let me get a closer look….(Nissy walks to the edge of the cliff)…

All of a sudden, Nissy lets out a tremendous YYOOOOOWWWLLLLLL!!!

Savannah and Dash look around and Nissy is nowhere to be seen!!!

NISSY!!!??? NISSY???!!!

Then a small voice whispers in Savannah’s ears…”go get him little ladycat”…and Savannah finds herself pushed over the cliff and hurtling toward where she now sees Nissy…sort of hanging in the air…caught in some kind of beam…but the beam is drawing him down toward the ocean…(where did that small voice come from???)

Savannah lets out a humongous shriek…AIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!…and grabs Nissy’s tail…hoping to pull him back…in mean time Savannah screams back to Dash…

Dash, Dash…grab my tail!!  Hurry!!  And whatever you do, DON’T let your paws leave the ground!!!

CLIFF jumping 2

Too late…Dash is already being pulled over the cliff too…and he grabs Savannah’s tail in hopes of not losing either her or Nissy…and they are all pulled toward the ocean…

…to be continued to the story’s conclusion tomorrow on Nerissa’s Life.  Be sure to read previous episodes before tomorrow…Episode 1: Dash Kitten; Episode 2: Nerissa’s Life; Episode 3: Savannah’s Paw Tracks…this post is Episode 4.

Paw Pats, Savannah

…Nerissa Arrives…Sort Of

…the Old Booke Shoppe and Zealandia Mystery Adventure continues… (beginning episodes on Dash Kitten, HERE, and Nerissa’s Life, HERE)…

Previously on Nerissa’s Life
“Suddenly the lights stopped flashing and the room went dark.  He had arrived.  Nissy had arrived at Savvy’s house.  Teleportation was complete.”

I’m sitting here waiting on my pal Nerissa.  He sent me a text that he was coming through my place to pick me up to help him with something.

Nissy sends savvy text

Intriguing…he wouldn’t tell me what it was…he just said the fact that I have “nip phobia” was what he needed right now…him being the “nip addict” and all.

Nerissa is always trying to get me to try different forms of the nip—dried, crushed, fresh leaves, fresh nip flower, freeze dried…always the same…nothin’, nada, zip…I just walk away after one whiff…who needs it I say.

Anywho, I am waiting on Nerissa…wait…what?…Nissy!!! Is that you calling me!!!

WHAT???…What’s wrong??!!…Oh Noes!!

Nissy arrives 2

Whomp, whap, bam, wham…KKAAAAATHUNK!

Nissy Lands

Savvy:  what the kit kat Nissy!! That’s no way to travel…I told you to stop using those egg beaters to create your entry into our space time continuum for teleportation !!  You simply MUST get yourself a proper teleport tunnel!

 (Savvy looks up into the time space opening Nissy dropped out of)…And  SEVILLE!!! STOP WHIPPING YOUR TAIL WITH THAT WHISK!! It takes your focus off turning the egg beater correctly!!

Seville with whisk

Now you messed up Nissy’s  egg beaters…just look at them…they are melting!!!

MOUSES!  What a mess…

Here Nissy, take my paw…come on…get up.

So tell me…what’s up?

Nissy: (reaches into his fanny pak…pulls out a bit of old dried up green something)

Savvy…Dash sent this to me…he found it in an ancient book in an Old  Booke Shoppe.

Savvy: So?

Nissy:  Well, I think it is a variety of THE NIP!! Everyone thought it was extinct…but this sprig was stuck in a page like someone wanted us cats to never forget about it…it was labeled “Necata canipis”…and it grew on the now lost continent of Zealandia!!  We are gonna go there and find it and I bet THIS will be just the NIP for YOU!

Savvy:  HA! You just want to have it yourself Nissy.  Look at you…just carrying that ancient piece in your fanny pak has your eyes all wonky, your nose is running; and look at that drool under your chin…honestly!

Nissy: (wipes chin)…sorry Savvy…you know how it is with me and the Nip…I told you when we were at Blog Paws…ya know…our Plushies talked a lot…thank Ceiling Cat we can channel our Plushies’ thoughts so we know everything they know and vice versa…anywho…I’m glad you know about my…ummm…ahem, koff, koff…you know…”problem” with the nip.

Savvy: I know Nissy, I know…you can’t help yourself with the Nip.  So what now?

Nissy:  We need your 3 way teleport tunnel because, well…ahhh…as you can see; my egg beater teleport is pretty messed up….and truth be known…I need you to be the designated teleport driver…I don’t trust myself this close to this pawerful ancient nip.

(Savvy takes a sniff of the dried up sprig…nose twitching)…hmmm…it does make my nose tingle a bit…but no light headedness…so I think I am fine as designated teleport driver…where to Nissy??

Nissy:  Why New Zealand of course!!  Zealandia is a lost continent under the ocean around New Zealand…but there are some teeny tiny little parts that stick up like islands and I bet that’s where we can find this long lost variety of The Nip growing still.

Savvy:  Ok, but let me text Dash…we need him once we get there to help us drive to a cliff near the ocean…so we can look for Zealandia islands…we gotta be high up to do that.

Here, check out this map…you can see where there may be some islands…

the map

(Savvy leans her head on her paws…looks dreamily away.  Maybe there is a nip for me…finally something to help me loosen up…sigh…shakes her head…gets up to text Dash)

Nissy, do you think someone or some “thing” left that behind just to make some cat like you, ya know, Nip Addict and all, go looking for it?  Maybe they did that just so they can pull you through the space time continuum back to their time…maybe they won’t let you go?!

Nissy: Naw…go on, text Dash to get ready to pull us through the 3rd tunnel on your transport…I know we both have to get through to the middle green section where your controls are…then we should eject with Dash’s help.

Savvy:  OK, but first give me that sprig…(Savvy tucks it into her fanny pak)…I don’t trust you having it so close to you.

Alright…let’s get going…Dash is waiting for us at the third tunnel to pull us through if we need any help…

teleport to NZ

Stay tuned…to be continued…tomorrow…right here…don’t miss the next exciting episode of the Old Booke Shoppe and Zealandia Mystery Adventure

A Very Sunday Easy

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I am finding ways to take it easy in the mornings with Mom.  You see, Dad closes our bedroom doors at 7 AM if I have come back to chill’ax with Mom.

Thats the only way Foster Brofur Leo gets to have the house to himself for a couple of hours…thank Ceiling Cat Mom and Dad are retired!

image

…I sometimes nap on the floor next to Mom’s side of the bed…rather than stay in bed with Mom…that way I can get out faster when Dad opens the doors…

image

…but I still like snuggling next to Mom in bed the best

imagePaw Pats, Savannah

peeEss…you really must hop over to Dash’s. blog to read the first episode of an amazing mystery adventure that pulls Dash, Nerissa and me into the time of one of our lives!
