Monday Meowsie News…

OH MY CAT!!!!! JUST WHEN I WAS ALMOST OVER THE EXCITEMENT OF RECEIVING THE SUNSHINE AWARD…I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!

My new furriend Texas, A Cat in New York, just gave the Liebster Award to me…I am truly humbled…(waving paw in front of face, twitching tail repeatedly)…whew!

The protocol for getting this award is as follows:

1. Link back to the person who nominated me: Texas, A Cat in New York

2. Nominate five (5) bloggers who have less than 200 followers (if you can tell).

In no particular order, here are my Liebster Blog nominees:

Clowie’s Corner
Satchmo The Cat
CATachresis
The World’s Most Stunning Cat
On The Road With Animal Couriers

I tried to tell if each of these bloggers had less than 200 followers, but it was not easy to find on some sites. But I love all of these and so hope they can accept…

Now, just a tad more of Monday Meowsie News…but I don’t have a photo to go with it…I was too fast for Mom!!! MOL

So most of you know, I am still in my recovery process…learning how to play again, how to trust and stuff. Well, one of the things I kind’a unlearned during my time in limbo, then in the shelters…is I unlearned how to leap and jump sort’a. I only get 2 feet off the ground at one time…anything more is pretty scary right now.

Welllll…last night…Mom was playing with me…she and Dad bought me lots of toys lately…anyways…she tossed a little pink shiny nip toy to me…and it rolled, I chased it and THEN….wait for it ……wait for it…..

YES! PAW PUMPS!!! I JUMPED…ALL 4 PAWS OFF THE FLOOR…and landed on top of it, hatched it for a while (like seconds)…then hooked my right set of claws in it and slung it down the hall….and chased it like a crazy cat!! WOO HOO! WHAT A RUSH

I looked at Mom…her mouth was open…her eyes looked kind’a wild like…and then she said something like, ummm…maybe…wellll….I think it sounded like “holly sheep”…or something like that.

So ‘cuz I didn’t give her time to take a photo…here are a couple of me playin’ and stuff…just to tide you over until I share my adventure in my Harry Potter Closet with you….

first…here is my first USED TISSUE PAPER TOY…in honor of my BFF Sammy, at One Spoiled Cat…he whispered to me once “Savannah, try Tissue Paper Toy”…so I did…here is what it looked like when I was done…

…then here is another shot of me and my paper bag…

Well, it has been a pretty big Monday Meowsie News at least for me…so I am gonna go find a quiet nap spot…

Receiving Sunshine From Furriends…

I have been acknowledged by 2 of my pawsome blog furriends. I was given the totally cool Sunshine Award by my UK pals across the pond at My Three Moggies and also by my misplaced French pal who now finds himself in none other than the great city of New York…Texas, a cat in New York.

I am still so new to the anipal blogging world, I did not even think many would remember me…blushing…I am so humbled by recognition…My very very first came from my first cat blog pal who lives in VA…Sammy, and I don’t really think he is spoiled at all…just deserving of his privileges…MOL…..he’s over at One Spoiled Cat and gave me the ABC Award…more blushes…

So as you may know these are the instructions for earning this award…

Link the award to the person who gave it to you…a conundrum for me as I was given it by two furriends, so I have opted to link it to the first I received which was from My Three Moggies.

Answer the questions that come with it
Pass it along to 10 people and let them know they have received it

Here are the questions and MY answers:

Favorite number: 9
Favorite Non-alcoholic drink: Water, but only if it is from my special ceramic fountain!
Facebook or Twitter: Definitely Twitter…luvluvluv the Paw Pawties and #NipClub and #wlf
My Passion: beef, chicken when paired with LIVER…yuummm…smacking , licking lips…
Favorite pattern: the shadows I cast when I walk around my furrever home soaking up sun puddles…purrrr
Favorite Day of the Week: The day it is
Favorite Flower: YIKES! I never, ever, go outside…hmmm…I tried to eat Dad’s little bamboo plant thingy…does that count???

In no particular order our nominations for The Sunshine Award are:
The Creative Cat
Hey Its Jet Here
The Three Cat Yard
Katnip Lounge
Rumpy Dog
The Blog of Otis
Dakota’s Den
Nerissa’s Life
The Chronicles of Zee & Zoey
Hutch A Good Life

I hope all of the anipal bloggers I have passed the award to know how much light and encouragement they have given me as a new blogger and more importantly, as an adult rescue cat in recovery. And I hope to return some of that light…live in sun puddles when you can…

Just to close…a photo of me finally getting ALLLLL the way into that bag…except of course for my ever present butt and tail…sigh…

Happy Sunday

Still Trying New Things

Hiya, Savannah here. As this is Saturday Blog Hop…I will make this short so I can get moving on the hop!

I am still finding new places to relax in my house…and gettin’ even more comfy in some of them I already discoverd…ya know…letting myself sort of stretch out, hang out…so to speak…

The new/old sun puddle spot on the stairs is becoming one of my faves…I’m just gettin’ more relaxed about using it…

..you can see I’m pretty catgone relaxed in this spot now…

Then lately, Dad and Mom couldn’t find me…and lo and behold…I had rediscovered an old hiding spot they made for me in their closet when I first came here…I just decided it was a really nice, dark spot to nap on Hoover Thursday or when loud guests come over…

…then there is always the old stand by, my bed in Mom’s office window…I’m just not comfy staying in it when she uses her office…still don’t know why I quit hanging out with her…but I love this bed when I can have the office to myself…ummmm…purrrr….

…now my new spot…oh cat! Is this ever great!!! Dad left the slider open from our breakfast room to the humongous deck outside…nice sunny warm day…and there is this mat in front of the slider…I always sit on this mat to tidy up after I have had a drink from my fountain or a snack…who knew I would find SUN PUDDLES here too…and a nice warm breeze…yes!

…so I wanted you all to know I’m still exploring, trying out new spots, getting more comfy in old spots, and rediscovering old spots I can use to nap, not hide…

Happy Saturday Blog Hop
