What do you do in your spare time?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What do you do when you are doin’ what you do best? And your humans ask “what’re you doin’?

You wanna know what???

And then you get distracted by stuff goin’ on outside and the humans still wanna know “what” you are doin?

Holy Mouses!! Did you see what the neighbors kids just did???

And finally you can get back to doin’ what you were doin’ before all the distraction—and then the humans ask “what are you doin’?”

Seriously, you can’t figure out what I am doin’????

So finally you have to get into the noise making and purring stuff to let the humans get a clue as to what you were doin’ in the first place!!! Crank up the sound on your ‘puters to hear my best bread makin’ motor!

So what are you doin’ your humans just can’t get a grip on????

Managing Your Down Time

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

After a busy exercise routine including laps chasing the EIRD (Ever Illusive Red Dot) and paw whacking my peacock feather up, across and down our stairs, I need some down time. Wouldn’t you? I mean after we cats put in our time at the gym, why we not only need but we deserve time to cool off and get a good rub down.

Let me give you the FYI (For Your Information) about how I manage my down time. First up, I find my Dad P and give him a direct eye contact stare while uttering a strong assertive “mroowwww”. I wait to make sure he knows I am talking to him, then I lead him to the living room area rug and throw myself down right at his feet. This is just the start of how I manage my down time.

Ok Dad P, get to it!!

He knows I am waiting and he dare not leave my side. My fave way to cool off is to get my furs brushed. All that air coming through and the brush slips through my furs really helps get my heart rate back to its resting beat.

Ahhh—that’s it! Strong but gentle strokes please.

Now if I don’t manage my down time, then Dad P might get the idea that “he” can decide just how I ought to be rubbed down. No siree —I make sure he knows I am always in charge of managing my down time.

That’s enough with the back furs, now move on to my special spot

I have trained Dad P well and he knows not to mess with my decisions when it comes to just how I want my rub down and cool off to go. He gets my meaning and moves right to give me a gentle cranial brushing. Such a delight, don’t you think??

mmmmm….this is just what I needed

Some of you may think I am a tough task master with Dad P, but trust me, you simply cannot allow your humans to start thinking they can determine how you “ought” to spend your down time. You won’t get what you want if you don’t develop some very direct looks to let them know when their time is done.

Watch my next move

You see it’s all in the “look” to get you what you want. Humans are pretty easy to manage. All I have to do is give Dad P one look and he knows I’m done with his services.

Stop right there! You already did my back furs.

And there you have it. A little lesson on how to manage you down time to be sure you get what you want. As soon as I gave Dad P the “look”, he stopped with the brush and left me to give my freshly brushed furs a good kitty spit bath.

How do you manage your down time with your humans??

How’s Your Grooming Going?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

“A groomin’ we will go, a groomin’ we will go—meowie ho! A zowie go—a groomin’ we will go!”

Oh hey guys, you caught me right in the middle of my fave part of my day. I was just headin’ over to my groomin’ tool after my dinner.

ahhh—time for some fur cleaning

I don’t know about all of you, but sometimes Mom L doesn’t have time to give me a little assist with my fur grooming so I have a purrsonal groomin’ assistant who stands in for her. Why don’t you come along and check out Ms. Groomer with me?

Come on along to meet Ms. Groomer

Ooops—sorry you had to see Dad P’s gym shoes. Just ignore them and follow along.

There you are Ms. Groomer! How’s your evening going?

Ms. Groomer and I became like best buddies after about year from when she first became a part of my castle staff. In all honesty, I must admit that TKS was the first to make use of her superior services. But now, well we both enjoy her attention to detail. I always greet her with a soft touch of my chin furs.

ahhh…thanks for the chin scritch…I needed that

She is so accommodating and very flexible on her hours of availability.

What’s that? Oh why thank you for being willing to stay late just for me

Ms. Groomer has a very solid foundation so that no matter how hard I push her, she just pushes right back which gives me the best ever chin, neck and back scritches ever!

ummmm….ahhh…nice neck scritches

I like to take my time to move through her strong stiff fingers to get the max outta my fur grooming.

Give a bit more pressure on the upper back, ok?

Ms. Groomer is so understanding. She always knows just where to add the best pressure. I can confess, I probably leave about a kabillion pieces for my furs on her strong fingers every day. Why Mom L has to clean her brushie fingers once a week at least!

Alright, I’m moving on through for the lower back furs

And there you have it. My Ms. Groomer is the bestest groomin’ pal I could have. Never as good as Mom L or Dad P with my fave hand held devices. But, when a kitty needs a groomin’ right after dinner, Ms. Groomer is my groomin’ tool of choice.

What’s your fave groomin’ tool if your humans are not around to give you a good brush??
