Special Savannah Holiday Wreath

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Just going to make it simple today…hope you don’t mind me sharing more things about my first furrever Christmas in my final furrever  home.

This is special to me…and I hope my bestest gurlfurriend, Cathy Keisha, from Stunning Keisha (we met first on Twitter…she is a DJ for Nip Club!!) comes by to take a peek at what Mom found and bought special for me.

You see, Mom found me a wreath made out of my most favorite toy…PEACOCK FEATHERS!!!  Well, actually, the feathers are not real, I sniffed them and confirmed (VBP) that, but still…check it out! (click to biggify)

Isn’t it PAWSOME!  It is the only wreath in our whole house…and Mom hung it in a special place…

Right up over our fireplace!!…she took down the Navajo Weaving that belongs there, but for the holiday, my Special Savannah Holiday Wreath rules our living room!!

And can you see the stockings?…Dad and Mom have the striped ones…a friend knitted them for them the year BEFORE they married…lucky they aren’t like in shreds because that was like a bazillion years ago! MOL!

Now can you see the one that says “MEOW” at the top??? Guess who that belongs to?????? YES!  ME! Mom brought it home and hung it using her special Tuxie Cat stocking hanger…she gave it to me for my very own this year…wait a minute…(wipes drippy nose and leaky eyes…sniff, sniff)…Ok..I’m Ok…it’s just a lot to take in…I never had so much that was just for me and done to make me feel special and part of a furrever family…I really, really like it.

Now you can see my WHOLE STOCKING!  It has fishies on it…and I hope Santa Paws stuffs it full!

That’s it for today, thanks for letting me share my experiences from my first Christmas in my furrever home.

peeEss…Cathy Keisha has been posting about all the wonderful gift shops at the Nip Club Holiday Bazaar , she has worked her paws down to nothing fundraising, so hop over and check out her posts.

And another good furriend, Texas, A Cat in New York, also posted about a pawsome fundraiser called Winnie’s Wish Christmas Fundraiser, which Celestial Kitties is hosting, so scoot over to either of these two blogs to check that out too.

Great opportunities to shop for gifts AND give back at the same time. Have a peaceful Sunday.

Caturday and My First Furrever Christmas Tree

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Several of you asked to see my first ever Christmas tree in my now furrever home.  Last Christmas, I was still a foster kitty with then “Foster Mom” and “Foster Dad” (FM and FD in my earlier posts).  So, I mostly didn’t get the whole tree thing, and they had their, now our, god-daughter for Christmas visiting and then some other people over for Christmas dinner, so I stayed mostly hidden.

But this year!!! A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE FOR THIS KITTY!!!!!

You saw me doing my patrol and inspection of the empty tree earlier…I had to make sure it was ready for decorating.  I declared it was safe, stable and pawsome!

So we decorated Mom and Dad decorated the tree finally!

…hmmm…what does it smell like now that it is decorated??…

ct 1

…oh!!! Look!!!…prezzies!!!…wonder if they smell too??…

ct 2

…nope, the prezzies don’t smell…wonder why?…maybe if I check behind this one…

ct 3

…nope, maybe on this side…

ct 4

…hmmm…no smell on the prezzies…maybe I outta sniff the tree again…

ct 5

…shhhh…I’ll just try a teeny nibble…don’t tell Mom or Dad!…

ct 6

…WHAT???!!!…(who didn’t whisper like I asked??…which one of my furriends ratted me out???)…no, no Mom…not me…I didn’t bitey bite the tree…

ct 7

…harumppfff…thanks lots guys!…I got caught…mabe if I go behind the tree…

ct 8

…naw, now both Dad AND Mom are watching me like hawks!…

ct 9

…MOUSES!…might as well leave…

ct 10

After my inspecition and tasting of the tree…oh yeah, I forgot to tell you…the prezzies don’t smell because there is NOTHING in them…Mom just wanted to make my tree more photographic for my post today…Thanks Mom! (you can bigify the tree if you want to see the pretty ornaments better)

ct 11

And guess what???…I found a special spot just for me…I like to get back here for a bit of contemplation (VBP)…and Mom bought the tree skirt JUST FOR ME! It is like all soft and poofy…nice!

MY FIRST FURREVER CHRISTMAS TREE…THERE ARE THREE OF THEM!!!

ct 15

My wish is for every cat and dog to have a first furrever holiday symbol to call their very own like I do this year.

I have some other stuff to share with you tomorrow, but I didn’t want to overwhelm (vocab buidling project VBP) you today.

Thursday Is For Thankfulness…

Hiya! Savannah Here!

Mouses, can you believe another Thursday is here already???

I have decided to join the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop today…

This Blog Hop is hosted by Pepsi Smart Dog.

I have already posted something today, but it was a REBLOG from my Mal Pal Rumpy’s feline sibling, June Buggie…and he had something to say today that I thought was really impawtant. So in case you missed my earlier post, click here, and go see what June Buggie had to say.

Now, let me share some of my thoughts about what I have to be ever so thankful for…

First, Mom and Dad are home, with ME, and we have our tree decorated…I made sure it was safe for the ornaments by testing underneath…Can you see me????

…how ’bout now?…see me now??…

…now you can see me, huh?…

…I declare this tree inspection is complete…ready for ornaments!

So I am really thankful I have this furrever home for this Christmas.  Last year, I was just a “foster cat” during all of December.  But this year…this home is MINE, MINE, MINE!!!

I am also very thankful that Dad and Mom still volunteer at my former shelter home Kitty Corner.  I don’t even mind when on Thursdays they come back from cleaning KC and smell like the other cats.  I know they are just making those kitties feel as special as they can, just like they did for me before they took me to foster.

Something else to be thankful for is that my very good furriends, My Three Moggies, SAVED their blog!! AND, their Mum had an operation and she is home, doing very well, now being tenderly cared for by the 3 Moggies…of course, Archie (isn’t he cute!)…is keeping her the warmest ‘cuz he has lots…ummmm..ahhh…oh dear…how shall I say this???…koff, koff…well, there is a bit more of him than the two young boys so he can keep Mum even warmer…whew….hope I missed offending him…

My other thankful thought is that my Champion Jetty’s feline sibling, Puffy, is no longer in any pain. And I am thankful for Puffy that his furrever home was with  Miss Lori, his Mom, who kept her promise to Puffy and his brother Fluffy (he crossed to the Bridge earlier this year) that they would live like Princes, never go hungry again and always be warm and safe and that she would be right there with them at the end…and she was for both of them.  Run free Puffy and play with Fluffy…

Hope you spend a couple of minutes thinking about your thankful thoughts today…

Paw pats, Savannah
