My Friday Is Great: How’s Yours?

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Just checking in with my pals to learn how your Friday is going. I, am having a pretty nice day, all things considered.

Friday is better than Thursday

You see I have not been feeling great lately. I haven’t truly played with Mom L for about 2 or more weeks.

Yup, you guessed it. Off to the Vet I went. They poked, prodded, shoved that unmentionable up my you know where. Then they depleted my blood volume by taking it right from my jugular (ick!!) and lastly…most terrible…they hacked off my lovely claws.

I also received some alien substance called “hydration” and then some tummy settling alien formula called “Pepcid’.

So this is MY FRIDAY! If you don’t like it, don’t look. (hover to view complete captions…truly…you wanna see them…just sayin’)

You did this to me

I cannot talk about it

No, not now

What?

Not hearing you

Channeling my outside cat

I have nothing more to say.

A Princess in Her Castle

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Some might say I am spoiled. Others might say I am privileged. And even more might say I am royalty. I prefer to go with the last perception.

I am, HRH Savannah, the Princess of my Castle. I don’t think I need say more, right??? (be sure to hover over photos to view complete captions, paw pats, S)

Yes, I most always have my dinner served in the living room. The Kid Sage simply cannot keep her jaws off my dinner.

Awww…right at the perfect level

What? this is normal

slurp, slurp

And who would deny a royal Princess her well deserved scritches, occasional tummy rubs and whatnot?

Yeah Mom L, I am waiting

Yessssssss!

My stairs; my rules

And Mom L always makes sure my scratcher is fully loaded with my fave nip…then I can just zone, zen out…..ahhh…

Pawsome nip

I am feeling drowsy

I am nodding off

My life has not always been that of a Princess. Many of you have seen this photo before. And you will see it again as I continue to journal, here on my blog, about my recovery from kittenhood trauma. I am a survivor; but only just barely. This is my intake photo at the local kill shelter where I was dropped by humans who did not leave any information as to whether or not I was feral; stray or just an abandoned, no longer wanted house cat.

I believe I have earned the right to my royal castle. And Mom L and Dad P could not agree more. They will forever protect me and even if that means making sure I have my own time and space to have my meals free from worry about whether or not The Kid Sage will take away my food.

I am HRH Princess Savannah; I am safe

Moments with Savannah and Sage

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

After the huge blog posts I had Mom L doing this week,I thought I would give her a break and let her post some photos. Yes, yes…photos of me and TKS.

We have been having some stress lately over the last couple of weeks. I have been extra agitated by her presence and she, as you can see in this next photo, has been intent to help me feel anxious by taking every opportunity to corner me.

Touch me TKS and you will regret it…just sayin’…

But still, TKS and I do manage to find some time to accommodate being together occasionally just to keep Mom L and Dad P off our backs…oh, we do love them lots…but they stress so much when we don’t get along…sigh

I have the sun puddle…she has the bed

We still share my our king size bed with Mom L and Dad P in the morning when they have their coffee and watch and read the news. I snuggle next to Mom L and TKS…well…she climbs on Mom L out of my reach…heh…heh…

Mom L…you will keep me safe from HRH Savvy?

I allowed TKS to have a sun puddle yesterday…I must have been feeling generous.

I caught the sun puddle!

Sage was so happy with finding some sun that morning; she totally spread out.

TKS chillaxin’

And I grabbed my chance at the sun on the tower in the guest bedroom…

ahhhh…the sun…

TKS grabbed her sun on another tower but where she could see me if she needed to make sure I wasn’t sneakin’ up on her.

TKS caught some sun on the tall tower on the landing

I took my turn on the tall tower on the landing

I am still struggling with learning to share space with Sage. I wish I could just relax and enjoy her company. But, my former trauma before coming to my permanent forever castle continues to challenge me. Just this week I not only bit Mom L, but I used my claws to whack her…my bite drew her bloods. I have never ever done that since I first came to live here so we are all wondering what happened? Mom L was just holding her hand still for me to rub against it like I always do…and then ‘wham’!!!

So there you have our latest update. We continue to move forward, then take some steps back. But the ‘move forward’ still happens so please join us doing a “happy dance”.
