Hiya, Savannah Here…
I had a grrrrrreat morning snuggle in bed with Mom…I gave her lots of extra purrs, and I laid real still right next to her, nice and tight…and she loved me and I loved her right back! Dad gets his extra attention in June…but today was for MOM!
…ummmmm….purrrrrr…maybe she will take a nap with me later….ahhhhhh….nice!

I learned yesterday that I have a verrryyyy good memory! A former caretaker from the shelter I came from visited Mom yesterday. I was napping in my new SFC (Squishy Fort Cushion) and the lady came over to pet me. I had already allowed another lady visitor to pet me (I had never met her before), but when my former caretaker tried to approach me, talking to me…I bolted for the door!
I knew her voice and her smell! No sireeee was she gonna get her hands on me…no way! I ran under our bed and stayed there until she left. Mom came in and laid down and encouraged me out so I could snuggle with her…but oh my cat! was I ever scared of that lady. I remember her.
I know she saved me from the county shelter where I would have lost my life…but I spent almost a whole year in that no kill shelter, scared every day and lots of time in pain from my undetected bladder infection…and mostly I remember no one wanted me and the caretaker/volunteer peeps thought I was just “mad, grumpy, mean”…so not many of them tried to touch me…and even back then, I loved to be brushed but only a couple ever did that for me…guess they were kind’a scared of me…(wiping tears from eyes with paws…)
I remember not feeling safe…hope I can forget it one day…but I guess not right now…memories still hurt…even a no kill shelter can be a really terrifying experience for us adult cats, especially if the caretakers label us as “not very friendly…” or stuff like that…’cuz then they start to treat us like that…anyways, enough said…
So last night Mom and Dad had special play time with me…on our bed…and I was happy, happy, happy…grrrr…kill that feather!!! rrrrooooaaarrr…
…and this morning Mom and I had a special special snuggle…we stayed in bed together for a while ‘cuz she knew I was upset from my memories I had yesterday…
And I know right now, I am loved ever so much by Dad and Mom…I am furrever safe…
Thank all of you for believing in me and for letting me share my memories with you…helps lots with my recovery process…
Paw Pats to all, Savannah
This is incredible!! I have taken over another new spot in the house! Makin’ this furrever home all mine! Score one for this cat!!
Here’s the new fave morning spot for napping…purrfect for all cats…Dad says my OTRB brother before I came, Popcorn, made this very spot all his…and now…it is ALLLLL MINE!
I lie on the bottom step…Mom took the photo from the top step…and in the morning the sun comes in just so special and only in this one spot in the whole house…made just for me!
…not too hot in the morning…and my pal Nanuk is right near me to give me confidence ‘cuz I need to let Mom and Dad go up and down the stairs WITHOUT running away from them…and I do, I do…really I stay right on that step and let them walk around me and I never move!! I am soooo proud! (course they can’t reach down to touch me ‘cuz then I would run…workin’ on that one still…)
Now, just so’s you can get perspecitve about how great this spot is, you need to see it from the outside to understand what a great window this is…it is huge! I do my morning patrol at this window with Nanuk…we talk a bit about stuff from the night before…then the sun comes in and I snuggle down on the stair…you can just barely make me out in this next photo, but at least you can see why I luvluvluv this spot…
..can ya see me through the shutters!! Nice window huh?! And Mom says next time she will use something called the telamoto thingy to get closer to me…whatever….
Well, that’s my Friendly Friday…shaping up to be a great weekend…hope yours is too…
