Thank Cod for Fog!

I had a totally easy peasy HOOVER Thursday…thanks to our wonderful Bay Area Fog! While Auntie Shannon did her HOOVER thing downstairs, I relaxed in my office window.

And because the morning started with fog, it was still cool even when the sun came out…so I sat in the window itself, not my bed…

…such a great neighborhood observation post…seriously…I can look down on my back yard, AND watch the street in front of our house. Soooooo relaxing…that is until the yappy beagles from up the street came by my house…and they saw the sheltie across the street…

Oh My Cod!!! What a racket!!! Those little beagles have some seriously obnoxious(vocab builder) vocal chords…and the volume!!! aiiiieeeeeeyyyyiiiyiiii!!!…I had to cover my ears with my paws for a bit.

And the sheltie, what a little gentleman…he just wagged his tail and tried to calm the beagles…very entertaining I must say. The key thing to know is that I just sat right there, never moved, just watched and listened…(read: not scared!!)…

The other REALLY IMPAWTANT part of this post is that I ENTERED THE OFFICE, HOPPED UP ON THE GLORIOUS CAT BED COUNTER AND WINDOW COMBO…WHILE MOM WAS AT THE COMPUTER WORKING…

I have been napping in the office bed all along…but 4 months ago refused to stay when Mom or Dad entered, and would not come in if Mom was at our desk. Now I come in to get a pet sometimes, but I don’t get in my bed…but Thursday, I snuck up to the window without her even knowing it and I stayed for about an hour, napped in the window…purrrrrrrrrrr…

Friendly Friday Frolicks!

What a morning me and Mom had…and it only took us 3 minutes to have a great time together!

Mom was about to walk out of the house for her spinning class at the gym…and she saw me over on my Bird Watching Tower. She thought I looked cute so she grabs the FLASH and CLICK thingy…and comes over to me…

…and BAM! she gets a pretty good shot of my pretty face (blushes)…with my gorgeous white diamond whiskers…nice…we’re done now…

emmmm…maybe not…Mom starts to sing to me…ok, ok…now she has my attention totally…I LUVLUVLUV when Mom sings to me.

..I just go all whacky…so she starts with the usual lilting (vocab builder) lines…Savannah, nana, mo mana, fee fi mo mana, Savannah…makes me start to go crazy…

…I flip over…roll around like a kitten…that’s my nip mousey you can see…now Mom does the…Savannah banana, nana mo…Oh My Cat!…luv it!…I grab the post, flip around and look upside down at her…she keeps on singing and clicking and flashing

…I can’t stop myself….I whip around the post and practically drool….

..now she moves on to the lyrics, again this lilting voice that is so mesmerizing(more vocab builder) to me ever since I came here…nana neeny miny mo…nana mo…manana banana mo…meeny miny mo…Savannah…that’s it! I slam myself over to the other post, looking sort’a skitzoid!!…

….she just keeps on singing away…little girl, pearly girl, little whirly girl…awwwwww….

…finally she stops…gives me a pet or two…and leaves me exhausted from my frolicking about like an idiot!!!….ummmmmm…luvluvluvd that!!!…Thanks Mom!

Movie Delay…But Check This Out

Ok, I have to admit it…I did not wanna do my Precious Prancing Pony move this week…and Mom couldn’t get me to do it AND take the video and Dad was bbbiiiizzzzzyy…so…give me time…and the PPPMovie will happen…so that’s the Movie delay covered.

Now…I have some pretty great news…at least we all think it is ‘news’ and ‘great’. First, I am still finding new places to nap…and last night it was cold so Dad put a couple of afghans on our bed…one for him, one for Mom and BOTH for ME! Natch!

Anyways, so he folded them up on the end of the bed this morning and left to do some stuff…and Mom found me…

…yup…I was sitting on the folded afghans startin’ to think about how nice it would be to take a nap here…but I was still in my meatloaf position thinkin’ about it…so Mom left, then came back about a half hour later….WOO HOO!!…score another photo op!!!…

…I was like totally sound asleep…she could have snapped away and I would NEVER have known…

Now for the even better part…see that chair in the background…behind that chair is my safe spot and my scratch post is back there too…

Well…remember when I first came to our house, I used to sleep in that chair…here is a photo to remind you…

Ok…so…this afternoon…Mom sits in that chair to use our iPad…we are still sharing one ‘cuz she hasn’t had time to go get her new one so I can have the old one…

Anyways, so I hop off the afghans…stroll over to Mom sitting in the chair…and I put my paws up on the chair cushion…not sure what I was thinkin’…but all of a sudden…Mom’s lap looked really good to me!!!

So I hung around the chair, she encouraged me…I did my rollity roll roll all around the chair on the floor…being cute…begging for pets…she kept calling me and patting her lap..then she got an afghan and put it in her lap…

WOW! that looked even better…so then I went over 2 more times, put my paws up on the chair cushion to check out that enticing lap….

And that was it for today! But CAN YOU BELIEVE!!!??? I WAS STOKED ABOUT HER LAP!!! Will wonders never cease in my recovery process.

Oh yeah, and then I followed her out to the kitchen, stopping to make a sprint through my Three Tunnel Toy…and when she gave me some kibble…I dashed over to my feeding station with her and started to gobble up my snack!!! Just like a comfy homebody cat…whew….what an afternoon…
