Why humans purchase new sofas

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So Mom L decided she needed a new, more firm sofa. Dad P said “sure”. But clearly they knew  that this new sofa was purchase for only one reason—for us cats!

I have been sitting on the new sofa for the last week, next to Mom L, at night so’s we can share TV watching. But Katie is the one kitty in my castle who waited a week to check out just where the warm afternoon sun lands on it. Then she plumped up the back cushion and made herself at home!

And she waited for like  two hours for that sun to move around and get to the spot she liked the most.

She stretched out and relaxed until the sun became even warmer.

And  then she finally gave way to any tenseness and totally relaxed. And this is why humans purchase new sofas. For us kitties!!!

Katie photo shoot

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I don’t know if Mom L has had such a struggle photo shoot for a long time. She is always in search of grabbing a photo of Katie, WITH EARS UP.. Not an easy thing to grab when the subject kitty is still so very shy and timid.

But, Mom L lassoed Dad P to assist and here are their outtakes.

Mom L: “Katie, can you look at  me with your ears up?”

KK: “Like  this Mom?”

Mom L: “Not quite honey. Try to get them BOTH going straight up at the same time, ok?”

KK: “Lemme try again.”


KK: “oops, sorry, Dad P distracted me. Why did he do that?”

Mom L: “He was trying to help you get both ears straight up.”

KK: “Sigh—I’m so embarrassed. Can’t you just be OK with showing off my lovely white shawl that drapes so perfectly across my shoulder?”

Mom L: “Oh Katie, your shawl is very special!”

KK: ” How’s about making do with a great profile photo??”

Mom L: ” Hmmm—that’s not really what I am hoping for sweetie.”

KK: “Ohhh—tummy tickle!! Lemme sort out my tummy furs so’s they don’t tickle me during my photo shoot, okay?”

Mom L: ” Of course little one, do what you need to do.”

KK: “Domino is photo bombing my special photo shoot!! Dad P!! Get him outta here!!”

Dad P: ” I got him KK. Now try again for Mom L.”

KK:” How’s this one?”

Mom L: “KK, every single photo of you is always special and always just purrfect.”

Katie has some aerial moves!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Our little Katie has been getting lots friskier lately! I think having had my Court Jester for a playmate has brought Katie out so’s she can show off her stuff. You all probably know that KK is a favorite for all of us here in my castle. We continue to work with her to help her put all the bad memories and nightmares from her first five months of life spent in a horrible hoarder home. She is five years old now and Dad P and Mom L still cannot pick her up. She is very bonded to Dad P and he spends time with her, before going to bed, to brush her pet her while she rolls around on her posing lounge (a cardboard scratcher).

Katie is so short and not very long, and she weighs about 7 pounds. Such a little doll.

So for us all to get to watch Katie playing with Dad P the other night, well—that was special!! Hope you smile as big as we did when you watch her video.

Are you smiling?
