Funnies For Friday…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Well, as you already know, I have to use some of my OLDER posts ‘cuz Mom has now been gone about 10 years…and she took Dad with her…sigh…yeah, yeah, I know…I have Auntie Shannon ~~wrapped around my paws~~ here to snuggle and play with, but it’s not the same.

Anyways, I asked Mom if she had to use OLD stuff, at least use something fun!

This is a letter I wrote to my former roomies at Kitty Corner to let them know how I was doing. I had only been with Mom and Dad for about 3 weeks by that time, and already I was so changed from when I lived at Kitty Corner.

I wrote:

“Boy, I had a great Christmas, hope all of you did too. I learned to be around other people beside FM (foster Mom) and FD (foster Dad). Scary, but I handled it pretty well. Only went under the bed once!!

So, we had company for Christmas dinner. And guess who came from KC (Kitty Corner)??

Suzanne!…you know her—she sounds different, and her hubby, Kevin joined us. I was really pleased to see Suzanne, and I let her pet me and I even purred for her and talked to her just a bit. She was so sweet—said she liked my voice as she had never heard it.

And Kevin, well, he is a guy—and I am still kind of afraid of them. But, I was going to let him come into our bedroom and I was going to say hi—but guess what he said!!!

“I was hiding quietly behind the afghan over the chair, and he says “I can see her butt”!!! “

My butt is showing

YIKES! Can you believe it! After all my squats I still have a big butt that sticks out for all to see—sheesh! And then there is the tail too. So we have to step up my workout program. Yes, that is a picture on the right of my butt sticking out of the afghan. Humiliating!

So, the exercise is getting pretty fun. I have started to get lots more aerobic time in, what with chasing my catnip mouse when I throw it in the air, playing with the laser light and then the wand feather thing—whew—that really tires me out ‘cuz I chase it like a crazy girl!

You can see me doing some upper body boxing in the photo below. That keeps my front legs and paws in good shape so I can whack someone if needed.

Upper body workout

I have a photo of me and FM taking a nap together. She is so sweet; she reaches out and scratches my head. I just love, love, love having my whole head scratched, especially around my eyes, nose and my ears—-ooohhhh—that is sooooo nice.”

Napping with foster Mom

I wrote two letters to my former roomies while I was still being fostered by Mom and Dad…I think those two letters got me and Mom starting to think about blogging…it was my beginning…

Hope you had a good time reading…I like to think I have come a long way in my mental and fitness recovery as well as in my writing…certainly Mom is like WAY BETTER with the FLASH and CLICK!!! She and Dad bought a brand new camera just to make my blog photos better…gotta luvluvluv those guys!

Caturday Review Day

Hiya! Savannah Here!

I was looking over some of my first posts, which I have already shared a little while I was moving…anywho…and I rediscovered one of my fave pages…

“Used Cats R Better than Used Cars”…it is found under my menu “Stuff I Luvluvluv”…but you can just click on the title and head straight over to it…

I hope you will “click” the linky and read my thinking about adopting adult rescue cats.

AND…here is a cute video of another resident at my former shelter, Kitty Corner…Sheba is 8 years old. She came to us with her sister and someone adopted her sis, but would not take Sheba too…sigh…they said they didn’t want to have to clean more litter boxes…oh well. So Sheba is not a ‘laid back’ Senior Ladycat…check out her play moves…

Have a relaxing Caturday, Paw pats, Savannah

Sharing My Mom and Dad…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

You all know I am a Momma’s cat…no shame in that…and I love my Dad too…but Mom and I are like tied at the heart for sure! Me to her and her to me…really nice…

…I trust Mom and Mom trusts me…

…to snuggle with Mom and be snuggles by Mom…the best!…

…Mom is relaxed when she touches me and I relax at her touch…

Anyways, for the next 10 days I am gonna have to share not only Dad, but Mom. We have my Auntie Claudia with us now, and then next week a former consulting colleague is coming to visit with Mom. Her name is Easter…isn’t that the nicest name??!!

Auntie Claudia was here last Christmas right about when Mom and Dad were still fostering me. I liked her then and let her touch me. And this morning, I actutally got back in bed with Mom and Auntie Claudia while they shared the newspapers and catching up on each other’s lives.

See, they have this routine when she comes to visit…Dad gets up (and of course feeds me FIRST THING!) and gets Mom’s and Auntie Claudia’s coffee.

Then Dad sits in the chair next to the bed, and Auntie Claudia comes down and climbs in with Mom…then they all 3 watch the morning news, share newspapers and visit…they laugh lots, and catch up. Auntie Claudia is Mom and Dad’s adopted god-daughter. She is only 37 years old and she used to pet sit my” before me” cat brothers and sister when they lived in Southern California. That is where Auntie Claudia still lives.

So…I was pretty much left alone most of yesterday, what with doing their volunteer cleaning work at Kitty Corner, then collecting Auntie Claudia at the airport, then they met up with Miss Chrissy…she manages Kitty Corner where I was living when Mom and Dad found me.

They all went to something last night called a “Niner’s Game”…not sure what it was all about…but based on the photos, I think they had a spectacular (vocab builder project VBP) time!!

That’s Auntie Claudia in front, then Miss Chrissy and then MOM!…they are wearing a bunch of San Francisco 49’ers gear…that’s an NFL football team here in the USA in case no one else know that…I CERTAINLY DID NOT…and still don’t really care…’cuz they left me home alone….hangs head, covers eyes with paws…sniffle, sniffle…

Now I am taking my nap in my Bird Watching Tower…and they are all going somewhere…Mom thinks it is good for me to learn to have someone visit…she thinks I need to ‘get used’ to other people…and I ask “why???”…just sayin’…

Hope you all have a great Friday and an especially wonerful weekend…

Paw Pats, Savannah
