How Experienced Cats Pack

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Just thought I outta let my readers learn from all my experience with moving. I have lived with Dad P and Mom L for five and a half years. This will be my third time moving from one HRH Savannah’s castle to another. That’s right, three times in five years. Kitties let me tell ya I know how to pack! And I know how much energy the move will cost me—the Princess.

This is an accounting of a full day of packing boxes.

Zzzzzz…snork…zzzzz…

Please notice how often this kitty’s paws move to help the humans pack up our stuff.

Note the slight paw hug one hind paw is giving the other

That hug is because those paws are nappin’ paws. Now check out how busy my front paws are.

Not much happenin’ with my front paws…see my sweet snoozin’ face?

And now take a look at my darling little hind paw with the light filtering through my pristine white furs. Again, not one single fur is moving.

Check out my clean pink toe pad…I haven’t broken a sweat yet

There you have my first lesson in how to move from one Kitty Castle to another. I know I will be able to share more lessons learned as a “Cat On the Move”. Our move date is coming up in a few weeks. Lots of action here in my current castle. And of course I will allow TKS to share some of her own insights for Cats On the Move because this is her second move.

So what can my readers share in comments about your own experiences as cats and woofies “on the move”?

The Memes Are Back Again

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Here come the MEMES!! First up is the owner of this blog and that would be ME!

Ahem—so seriously, whose “toesies” do ya think humans are gonna want to smooch?

Of course TKS had to join the fun on my Friday Meme Blog Post.

I think she may have gotten into Dad P’s “oldies but goodies” soundtrack on his iPhone. Do ANY of my readers even know what she is trying to shout about??

And I let TKS have the last word, as though she doesn’t always get it anyway!

Let us know in my comments what you  liked best.

Monday Meowsie News You Don’t Wanna Miss

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Anyone who has followed my blog knows that I usually a ghost when strangers, even repeat guests, come to my home. Oh, and to be clear, I am talking about bipeds.

My news today is all about my continuing learning to trust humans after what appears to have been as many as the first five years of my life having to endure unknown trauma at the hands of humans.

Do you remember when Cuzin Leo lived with me? See! You do remember him!

Well his Dad Dave, now my Uncle Dave, has become the best of friends with Mom L and Dad P. So this is about Uncle Dave’s recent visit to my castle yesterday.

Personally I cannot believe I did what I did. No siree!! I kind’a out did myself so to speak. You see, I started to try to slip past Uncle Dave when he entered my office. I was trying to scoot past him by going under that cute bench I have in my office. And then Uncle Dave did something that caught my attention.

He…did…not…leave! He just bent over and offered his hand for me to sniff and he spoke “cat” language to me. AMAZING!! And before I knew what I was doing, I moved out from under my bench and gave Uncle Dave a sort’a twirl around to see if he was really serious about giving me some pets. I quickly moved just a teensy bit outside of where he placed his hand. And still, he did not move. Then I thought—”Hmmmm…perhaps I outta give him a chance to touch my luxurious gray furs.”

So I circled around and indeedy do—there his hand was—not moving one bit!

Hey! You know how to treat a gal right Uncle Dave!

Then I did the most unthinkable thing!! Yes I did! I cannot deny the photos.

Oh no!! My EBD condition is showing!

Yep, there you have it for all to see. My Elevator Butt Disease fully displayed. And I can only tell you this—I LUVLUVLUV’d it!!

The longer Uncle Dave stayed on my level the more I invited him to give me more attention. I actually started giving him my very special “Miss Savvy Do head butts”!

Head butt coming your way!

Then I just gave up and asked him to give me his very best chin rubs and ear scritches.

ahhhh—just the spot

Kitties and woofies, I must admit. Uncle Dave won me over big time. His understanding of how to approach a cat, especially a Princess Cat like me, was something for the history books.

I simply could not stop myself and threw myself into my form of “wild abandonment” into his gentle, caring chin rubs.

Oh my—this is simply the best of the best!

There you have it my loyal furriends. My latest and simply greatest progress in allowing another human beyond my Mom L and Dad P to enjoy contact with my soft gray furrs and I even allowed Uncle Dave to hear my loudest purrrrs ever!!

Have you ever feared humans so much that you are uneasy about allowing them to touch your furrs? How have you overcome your fear? I sure could use some coaching my pals.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH
