Progress, Progress, Progress…

Hiya again, Savannah here…

So here’s the low down on some progress in my mental recovery. Just happened last night at din din time. I always wait until Dad leaves the feeding station before I stroll over to eat… (he feeds me so’s he can develop relationship with me ‘cuz I’m still afraid of huMAN peeps)…so…last night I was hanging out in my cat tower and Dad waved my soft food in a bowl at me…he called me…”here Savannah banana…here Princess” (he is so darn cute!)

So…he leaves the bowl of food on the kitchen counter and is talkin’ with Mom who is making their peep’s nomnoms…so I stroll through the dining room into the kitchen doorway…WHOA! and there they both are…we all just stop and watch each other…THEN…Dad carefully walks past me—AND I DON”T RUN…puts my food down and comes back past me again (WHOA scary for both of us)…THEN, I suck in a humongous breath…and act casual…and stroll over to my food bowl and start eating!!!!!!!! WHILE THEY ARE RIGHT THERE! I ACTUALLY CAME WHEN DAD CALLED ME!

Seriously guys…this is totally huge progress for me. I stayed right there while they were on the other side of the breakfast bar making their nomnoms, and I finished my whhhoooolllle dindin. Then I walked right across the family room…in front of them…licking my chops!

HIGH PAWS WITH ME EVERYONE! That’s me eatin’ by the breakfast bar…cool huh?!

Then later, I played some with Dad….just so he knew I was seriouly wanting his attention…

and now the final PROGRESS for yesterday…wait for it…wait for it…..

TA DA! Slept right next to DAD all night long! Yep, I flooped right down on his legs and never left…even had my head facing toward him instead of my ususal butt facing the top of the bed like I usually do even with Mom…all you cats know…facing the top of the bed takes courage…ya really gotta feel safe to put your head closest…always safer to have the butt facing up in case ya need to slam out of bed for danger or just to do the perimeter check of the house….

So, that’s my PROGRESS on the food and playing and sleeping with Dad front…I’ll give ya a video for tomorrow on Wordless Wednesday…pretty cool one even if I do say so myself..MOL

Paw pats, Savannah

I Have Forgiven My Mom and Dad…for now

So, you know they went away for 2 WHOLE NIGHTS early last week! Well! Harumph!

And all they gave me was that stupid photo of some plant thingy…sheeeesh!

Anyways, I finally stopped pouting…let Mom, then Dad, give me some pets…notice how I have my little paw daintily stretched out…like royalty….

and here…I allow intimate head scratching

I am a very forgiving cat…IMHO…

Then today…I finally said “OK OK OK”…you can brush me…just a little…

NOW…I have them in my paws…no, really…I do….totally!!

I can even stay up late now…make noise….wake them up in the middle of the night for pets, purrrs…and whatever I want!! Wooo HOOO! Ya gotta make ’em want it…make ’em beg for it!…they live for that thing ONLY CATS can do….PUUUURRRRRRRR…

Hope y’all had as great a weekend as I did…paw hugs to all

Savannah

Hiya Savannah Here Again…Finally!!

Soooooo…Mom and Dad took off for a couple a nights…leaving me at home of course! whine…whinge…pouts…for some silly human thingy they called an “anniversary”…BIG DEAL…yeah yeah…I’m sure!

…and all I got was this lousy photo…go figure!!

okokok…so it was kind’a pretty…welllllll…so am I!

Anyways, I had a sleep over with Auntie Shannon, she stays with me always when Mom and Dad go away (she does the awful ‘cleaning Thursdays’ too but she is totally nice). So I had company, but ya know I am a ‘Momma’s Girl’ so I missed my Mom sooooo much (Dad too, but he snores so I sleep piled on top of Mom)

So last night I TOTALLY forgot myself…I was so excited to have Mom back in bed…I did it AGAIN…yes, you got it….

BLANKET CAT CAUGHT AGAIN!

See my toes?????

Yup! That Lump Is “MOI”

So then I jumped up…and pretended all I really wanted was to play…

…cute…huh?! So we play some…then we all go to bed…buuuttttt…I had a lot to talk about with Mom…so every time she moved, got up to go “you know where” ‘cuz ~~she is sort’a old~~ had too much water before bed…anyways…I talked to her and talked to her. I let her know how much I missed her and Dad too, what I did with Auntie Shannon and I told her I tried to do my own POST on Wednesday but kind’a got my paws stuck in the keyboard so’s she had to fix it when she got home….oooopppps

Anyway, maybe I kept Mom up too late…so this morning I sort’a peeked around the corner of the bed just to make sure she was up….
