The Art of Feline Innocence

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

So let’s talk. And I know many of my pals are woofies, so let me just say…I believe that this “art of innocence” crosses all anipal species…na’ mean???

Everyone knows, I am not the least bit mischievous. I never ever do weird or crazy pants stuff…right? Awww…come on guys, back me up on this one!

Here I am, just washing my paws and cleaning my face. Like every cat does a kabillion times a day. No reason for this particular routine action to require Mom L hauling out her iPhone (note the lousy focus).

*slurp, lick, slurp, lick*

*slurp, lick, slurp, lick*

Now why should this be so worthy of a photo, albeit a lousy one at that? Next I hear this question from Mom L:

Mom L: “Savvy? What are you up to?”

Me: “What,  nothing, absolutely nothing!”

Mom L: “Then please tell me exactly how ‘this’ ended up here looking like ‘that’?”

Me: ” Whoa! That TKS has been busy!”

Mom L: “TKS has been upstairs with Dad P the whole time I was gone. You were the only one downstairs.”

Me: *puts paws up and spread open with a shoulder shrug*…”Hey! what’s the problem? You know I never ever do stuff like that.”

Mom L: “hmmmm…sure Ms Savvy Do…you have that ‘Feline Look of Innocence’…but you know I know YOU!”

Hey?!! Are you sayin’ ‘I’ had something to do with that self imploding old used paper towel roll?…seriously…I was just up here tidying myself up before my nap

Mom L: Sure Ms Savvy Do, but just know this young lady…I have my eyes on you!”

And that my furriends is the Art of Feline Innocence!! Any of you ever try it? I bet my woofie pals know it just as well as we felines. We use the old “just cleaning my paws and/or face” but what do you woofies use?

peeEss…The Typist always gets the last word…never ever has Savannah done something like this. She must have bunny kicked that paper towel roll like a crazypants cat. I am so proud of her!

This Cat Can Be Spontaneous

HIYA!!  SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Remember I told you a couple of weeks ago that we had a leak in our upstairs human toilet area? Well, they had to cut a great big hole in the ceiling of the office I share with Mom L, and finally last week, the workers arrived to repair it.

WHAT A LOT OF NOISE!!

I was chillin’ on my downstairs couch and finally, I couldn’t take it any longer…I quietly hopped off the couch and sort of ‘slithered’ upstairs low to the ground…na’mean? I was looking for a safe spot to hide out.

BUT WAIT!  Because all of you, my pals, have been cheering me on about getting braver and whatnot…as I arrived upstairs I saw a new hole in the wall and without any hesitation whatsoever…I stopped escaping and started exploring!

Hey, this is pretty nice

Hey, this is pretty nice

Of course I was busted immediately by Mom L with her iPhone.

Oh, hiya Mom. I was just checking out this closet

Oh, hiya Mom. I was just checking out this closet

I knew I needed to get down and out…but I AM certainly going to remember what nice soft beds are in that closet the next time I see it open…heh…heh…

Ok, ok Mom...I promise I didn't leave any of my furs behind

Ok, ok Mom…I promise I didn’t leave any of my furs behind

This may not seem like much to lots of my woofie and kitty pals, but the fact that I never missed a beat and just stopped right in the middle of escaping the workmen and their noise to do a bit of exploring…it’s a really BIG deal for me.

The Pro’s and Con’s of New Home

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!

So…about the new home and all these different levels with a bunch of stairs all over. I don’t mind the stairs, don’t get me wrong. Better than having to go to a gym with Mom L and do all that extra leg work on machines, na’ mean??

But, and I mean a great big butt…

All these stairs and levels mean that ‘someone’ can check in on me when I least expect it. *slaps paw to forehead*…TKS follows me around…sneaks up and then touches me and says “BOO!!” Not fun, no, no…not fun at all.

TKS (aka The Kid Sage) discovered this lovely game early on.

Wow! I can see the whole living room from here!

Wow! I can see the whole living room from here!

This is sooooooooooo not a good thing…for me at least…

ohhh...I can see HRH Savvy on the couch...napping

ohhh…I can see HRH Savvy on the couch…napping

My “uh-oh” moment…

Oh My Ceiling Cat! Not good...

Oh My Ceiling Cat! Not good…

So I decided to just chill’ax…but let TKS know…I still have PAW POWER at any given instant.

The Paw is 'locked and loaded'

The Paw is ‘locked and loaded’

I think this realization must have given her a pause for rethinking about jumping through the rail and ‘surprising’ me…don’t ya think?

The 'PAW' power is ready at all times

The ‘PAW’ power is ready at all times

And so it goes…continuing to learn the freedom, and limits, of existing in our new home together.
