Do You Pole Dance?

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I shared a few photos in a past blog post of my returning interest in my first cat tree, which I have not played on for three years. fancy catletic paw work on my favorite cat tree. But I am going a bit farther in my progress now than just weeks ago.

My moves would make a human pole dancer green with envy, seriously!!  In fact I’m expecting a call any day now from the French Cirque du Soleil folks. I know they will be wanting me to teach their performers some of my special moves.

Check out my set up for my ‘Wrap Around the Pole” move. First, I get leverage using my hind paws and claws. Yep, those claws give us cats a good advantage over the humans. Then I reach up to grab the pole with my right paw and claws.

Whoopsy do! And then I FLIP and WRAP three paws and claws on the pole and I keep one hind paw and claw set hooked onto the platform to help give me lift!

My progress is all about my continuing growth in my relationship with Mom L. I come to her with a certain pitch to my “meows” that immediately let her know I am looking for a play session with her. My cat tower is right near her work area so she just turns around, gets a feather toy and “BOOM”!! We are playing!!

Do you invite your humans to play with you? How do you do that?

I Thought We Talked About This Before…!!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What is it with HUMANS!! And their seeming FASCINATION with cats taking a BATH??!!

What! This is my private time!

No matter what we say to the human with the offending camera, they continue to persist in exposing our private bath time.

Pffft!! Get away from my private time with my tongue and my furs!

Still, after that they do not get the hint.

Excuse me!! Can you NOT HEAR me??

And so I must once again register my displeasure—from the “other” side of my nose!

Did that deliver my message??!! BEGONE!!

Does any other cat out there have this problem? And how about you woofies?? Do your humans take photos of your private bath time??? Please leave comments and photos if you can.

PeeEss—thank you all for your replies to my questions from my Monday blog post about what happened to Mandy’s (aka Momma Kat’s) safe tails ending. No, I won’t ever call it a “happy tails ending”. I simply cannot reveal all that I know, but she is safe and will be fed along with her five almost year old kittens. I could not help her find her true “Happy Tails Ending”. And that one is on me, Savannah The Cat.

Confused TKS—Confident Savannah

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This is another report on my continuing progress—some of which is beginning to confuse The Kid Sage. You see not everything in my relationship with Dad P is exactly as it was when she first came to live in my our special loving, caring home.

I’ve already told about my progress in getting closer to, and trusting more, Dad P. You can check out my progress reports with him here, here and here, which is a very early report on my progress with allowing Dad P to feed me in the first six months of my adoption. If you haven’t been following me since April 2012 then you might wanna be sure to check that one out.

Now for my recent confidence which has caused TKS some confusion.

First you need to know that Mom L always sits on the couch with me at night to watch TV and Dad P always sits in his Mom L’s other chair and TKS gets to join him.

WELL! Was TKS ever shocked and confused the other night when Dad P did something different and SO DID I!!

What's Dad P doin' sitting there!!

What’s Dad P doin’ sitting there!!

And why the heck is Nana still staying on the couch without Mom L??

And why the heck is Nana still staying on the couch without Mom L??

And now you can see why I was staying still while Dad P settles into Mom L’s place on the couch.

Ahhh —Dad P you give such nice warm scritches

Ahhh —Dad P you give such nice warm scritches

Give me a shout out in comments if you think I am progressing faster as I get older. I’m doin’ a study for my meowmoirs.
