We so hope you enjoy seeing Cuzin Leo when we get a chance to visit him and Dad Dave. They have so much going on in their lives that they hardly have time to post…but Dad Dave did promise to get back to us a bit after he has their garden redone. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

In fact…Dad Dave did confess…he has “trapped” that errant gnome…Cuzin Leo can explain that cuz I am so not gonna touch it within the length of my peacock feather…just sayin’

A short Monday Meowsie News…but not insignificant. Remember Cuzin Leo is a survivor of hepatic lipidosis…and he was at the end stage of this feline disorder.

RESCUE ROCKS!! ADOPT ADULTS THEY WAITED LONGEST

Remember I Don’t Play?: My Recovery Rocks!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Those of you who have followed me over the last 2 years may recall this comment made by my former shelter when Mom L and Dad P picked me up to be their foster cat…

Mom L: “Do you have some toys we can use. We don’t have any at home right now after our three precious senior cats made their journey to The Bridge…we donated their toys and cat towers, etc. to rescues.”

Former Shelter: “*waves hand*…oh don’t worry, you don’t really need toys. Savannah doesn’t really play much if at all”.

Hmmmmmmmmm…really??

Oh right…I don’t play…heh…heh

Guess no one figured that my mentor and pal Sammy, One Spoiled Cat, would be teaching me about all the joys of tissue paper.

And…I have learned to trust that when Mom L and Dad P play with me…they won’t hurt me and so I try lots of new moves…2 1/2 years ago…I would never have dreamed of not only tissue paper games…but allowing things to cover my head…even my whole body…look at me now…

Ahhh…tissue paper!!

Wheee! Can’t see me now!

*paw reached for feather*

Whap…whappity…whap, whap…

Check out my bunny kickin’…

I started doing more and more bunny kicks since The Kid Sage showed up. Ok, so maybe I have learned a thing or even two from The Kid…nuff’ said about that…na’mean???

Listen to that tissue paper rattle…betcha Sammy jumps up and down just listening to it…

After all that rocking and rolling…I took a break to do some meditating…learned this from my pals Ku and Swami Zoe…

Look, focus…see the spot…be the spot…

Paw Pats, Savannah

peeEss...I am remiss in missing precious Zoe’s incredible birthday achievement…THIRTEEN…and not looking a day over THREE…paws crossed…I am not telling a fib Zoe…a card for you my furriend…please forgive my belated wishes

Are You Ready? For a happy ending???: Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!

Remember these cute little ‘Tossed Away” kittens???

Dumped Alive in Dumpster

This is a seriously happy ending…but first…the BAD news their foster Doc Josie discovered…

Doc Josie told Mom L that she thought Tango, the white with tabby markings, seemed to be favoring his hind left leg. Even though he tried to play and jump on his panfur brother Charlie…Tango was clearly not on the top of his game.

Doc Josie, who is a co-founder of Civic Feline Clinic (my former feline specialist Doc) took Tango to Doc Ellis (my current feline specialist Doc) to get X-rays. You will remember that Doc Ellis is the feline specialist who saved my Cuzin Leo’s life…right? No? Don’t recall…click HERE

Check out this very informative X-ray…

Doc Josie and Doc Ellis have determined that Tango’s femur break is healing on its own. Meaning he does not require any surgery or a pin at such a young age. He is approximately 6 weeks or so old.

It may have happened when the kittens were in the dumpster and humans threw in stuff not knowing that another ‘human’ had already dumped 4 live kittens in the same dump. Doesn’t matter what the details are…it only matters that Tango is going to be just fine!!!

Check him out playing “Smacky Paw Tag” with his brofur Charlie…

They are both chowing down cat food…they really enjoy being together…wouldn’t it be nice if they might have some pals??

And WHAMMMOOOOO!!!!

The Universe delivered a couple of pals to capture Tango and Charlie’s attention…(still being fostered by Doc Josie who has a whole flock of feathered friends)…these chicks were dumped at a Petco store during adoption day for Community Concern 4 Cats who immediately whisked the chicks to Doc Josie.

ONLY Doc Josie would toss a couple of chicks in with two carnivore kittens with such aplomb…trusting that size and curiosity would entertain all…gotta luvluvluv Doc Josie’s ‘tude! (apologies photo is blurred…smart phone spurr of moment!)

And now for the potentially HAPPY ENDING…

It appears that BOTH these kittens have a serious adopter…very very serious…we cannot confirm just yet…but stay TUNED to learn Tango and Charlie’s ending…it’s gonna be really great…paws crossed!
