We have a new scratcher which allows us to get our furs scratched whenever we want. No more waiting on the humans AKA Mom L and Dad P…to provide our brushies.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

peeEss…I realize I have not responded to, nor visited, all of my pals who so kindly visited my tribute to Nerissa posted  last Friday. I will, promise. I have had my own health challenges and spent last week and yesterday getting all kinds of intrusive things done at my vet’s clinic. I am OK. But it has been stressful as you can all imagine. Thank you for your patience. 

You Won’t Believe What I Did !!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

While I am proud to write this post about my very recent HUGE paw step forward in my recovery from trauma…I am also a tad chagrined that it was once again promoted by my interaction with my sisfur, The Kid Sage.

Zzzzzzzzzz....

I smell someone else…very, very close….

Down below…

I can see HRH Miss Savvy Do…wonder if she knows I am this close?

Who is TKS kidding??? ME?!

Sage sees Savvy

 

I will try to deliver this reality check to The Kid Sage with gentleness and no sense of self gratification whatsoever…(‘try‘ is the operative verb)

TKS ponders next move

As you know by now, this is not going to end in a pretty little tied up bow…right?

I wonder if HRH Ms Savvy Do  will notice if I....

I wonder if HRH Ms Savvy Do will notice if I….

As you all know, TKS is a very crafty sisfur…

sage finds a way

To the uneducated these are just simple photos of a cat in repose…

Zzzzzzz...

Zzzzzzz…

And another cat…different color…

Zzzzzzzzzz....

Zzzzzzzzzz….

And yet, combine the two previous photos and you have THIS!!!…My Breakthrough!!!

I AM A VERY BRAVE ADULT RESCUE CAT…TAKING ON NEW BEHAVIORS…THANKS TO ALL OF YOU  AND YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT.

How Many Times in 30 Days…???

…do my Woofie, Cat, Piggie, Bunny, etc Pals…change their favorite napping spots?

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!

So come on pals, tell ALL!!

I know The Kid Sage, aka TKS, and I are not the only ones who enjoy keeping our humans on their toes…so to speak.

TKS and I have been changing up the game lately and we are keeping Dad P and Mom L busy, busy, busy trying to find where we are sleeping.

Now this is a game many of our woofie pals find hard to play unless they are smallish…at least I suspect this is true.  I cannot wait to learn if my little assumption is accurate!  So come on my woofie pals…tell us if your humans can find your new nap spots!

So first, because this is, after all, “Savannah’s” (that would be moi) Paw Tracks…check out what I have been up to:

Reclaiming the guest bedroom from TKS

And then I took over the cat tower I always liked best, but it was in the guest bedroom.

Ahhh...much nicer view from here

Lastly, I have left the chair in my master bedroom to once again lay claim on ‘my’ master bed.

Mine, always and forever

Mine, always and forever

TKS has been doing some relatively acceptable and somewhat impressive new nap maneuvers as well. She stunned Dad P when he walked into his office upstairs and found, for once in two years, a CAT!!! A cat lying on the soft, warm cushion he bought for ME two Christmases ago.  TKS discovered she can not only nap, but bird watch in between multiple naps!  Clever girl!

How did I ever miss this incredible spot!

How did I ever miss this incredible spot!

Now I cannot make this next trick TKS used work very well for me.  But then, I am not a panther cat.  Mom L and Dad P walked in and out of the garage, through Mom L’s office space…several times. Finally, one asked the other–“Have you seen Sage?”.  To which, they both shook their heads in the negative.

Unfortunately, TKS needed a yawn about that time. (hover to view captions)

She found a pile of nice, warm, fresh out of the dryer clean clothes to make a nice nap mat.  And even better, the top clothes were dark, the chair Mom L tossed them onto is black leather…and there you have it.  A perfect panther hideaway!

One slight paw of contention is that both TKS and I believe the master bed belongs to us, personally.  As you can see, she beat me to the master bed on this particular day. There is a very nice sun puddle that occurs during this time of year; right up against the pillows–shear heaven.

This sun puddle has my name on it

 

Let’s hear from all of you…how many times do you REALLY swap around your personal nap spots within ONLY 30 DAY???  All the changes you see in this blog post occurred over just one month. And as many of you know who follow me, I have stayed in my comfy floor level bed in my living room for, well, actually…for almost the whole Summer!

My comfy corner spot near the slider in the living room

Why would I change from that spot right now?  And mostly to the upper level of our town home???
