Changes in My Safe Spot…

I know I’m kind’a throwin’ new stuff at ya a lot…but that’s how my life is progressing…and I have other stuff I can talk about later that is, well…errrrr….ummmm…not so ‘new’ about me…but the new stuff is more fun…

So here is something I have noticed lately….do you remember when I first started posting about my recovery process??? And most of my photo ops came from behind the chair I have in our bedroom…and there was always that really pretty afghan hanging down so I could kind’a hide behind it….remember????

….here….remember this….it used to hang all the way to the floor so’s I could really hide behind it…when we got this photo I already had it moved higher up…still safe to get behind, just not totally covered up….

…well check this out…NO AFGHAN!!! TA DA…!!!…..notice how relaxed I am…mmmmm…

…I roll to my back to get a good fix on the black feather wand…ready to snatch when it gets close…

…WHOA!!! it’s gonna get me!!! MOL…I do a quick grab with the right front paw…but again…notice my laid back (yep, pun intended) position…

…but ya can see I was getting my hind paws hooked really good into the post so I could push off to make a fast grab…

…and well…the end of that play session is a story for another time…mostly I wanted you to see…no longer is there an afghan hangin’ over the back of the chair to hide me. I still need to hide behind the scratching post…I go directly here in the morning to solicit pets and food…I still only play in our bedroom…sometimes Mom can get me to play in the living room, but I don’t do that with Dad yet.

And sometimes I play with Mom and even Dad when I am on my cat tower…but not much…but I have come a long long way from hiding behind that afghan…now I prefer to SLEEP and NAP on the afghan instead!!! Not bad for recovery progress, huh???!!!

Oh Cat!!! Another New Fitness Experience!!

Mom and Dad come home one day…and they put this unreal what’cha ‘ma ‘giggy on the floor…they say “Savannah! Isn’t this Great!!!???”…(what, ME??!! I am, in case no one else noticed…one scared, timid adult rescue cat!!) Seriously?? Ya want me to notice that weird thingy and BE INTERESTED???….OMC!…Peeps!!

…harrummmpppfffhh…wellll…maybe just a peek….

…ummmhmmm…seriously…not much…wellll…lemme take another quick peek…

…hmmm…the blue end seems more interesting…

…oh yeah…now this is what I am talkin’ about….

…whoa…check out this RED…Salem and others at Katnip Lounge know all about REYED stuff…wonder if this is the same thing…only bigger? and it doesn’t seem to move lots…hmmm…

..once again…needs further investigation…taking on my FBI role, (Koz and Nellie would be proud)…

…oh, oh, oh…OMC!! Oh Cod!! I missed this first time around…check this out…a hole in the middle…and it is GREEN…hmmmm…wonder what this means…more pondering…

…I must investigate into the middle of the tunnels…only a well trained FBI Agent can do this…carefully, one paw at a time…slowly, slowly…(I hope Satchmo is reading and watching veryyyy closely…)…

…phewww…I am pooped!!…this is totally hard work…

…what??!!…is there a noise??…something is moving under me!! Oh Cod?? What is it???..

…I rush outside after a short rest…and take the ~~plunge~~ risk of jumping into the heart of the 3 Tunnels…ooohhhhh….SHRIMP!!!…(I think that is what Dad and Mom say when they are surprised!!! not sure why…I have never seen a shrimp around when they yell it out…hmmmm…maybe they are saying some other word??….oh well….)

…my butt is stuck!!!…what to do, what to do…cram my body in if I can…that’s all I can do…so terribly dangerous….aaiiieeee….!!!!

Well…that was the adventure of the 3 tunels…at least the starting point…may be more later…who knows…this is a cat’s autobiography after all…just sayin’…

I Have HuFamily History!! Who Knew?!

Well who the heck knew??? I certainly did not!!

My Mom has a Family Bit of History…under which I play efurry night!!! Woo Hoo!!

…so I am just relaxin’ under this quilt thingy ALLLLL the TIME…notice how comfy I am??…..

…then Mom tells me ” Savvy (they call me that as an affectionate name…purrr)..you do know that right above you is the name of my Great Aunt Mamie Pinson???? (ya, right, I totally got that when I don’t even know my own feline mom???)…

…then Mom makes me focus…and what do ya know…there is her Great Auntie’s Name…and then I ask…”why is her name up there?” Mom says…”Savvy, that is my Grandmother’s ‘Furriendship Quilt’…made by all her furriends, well, really ‘hufriends’…back in the 1920s…and Mamie is my Grandmother’s sister-in-law…now I am confused…but whatever…

…”and here is my Great Grandmother’s Name…she was my Grandmother’s husband’s Mom”…(now I am totally confused??!!)…but I can tell this is important to Mom …and even, maybe to me???…

…then I ask about the weird lookin’ stuffed bear…and the red and blue quilt above him…and Mom says…”well, Banana Cakes (OMC! she does call me that!)…”first the quilt was made by my Great Grandmother Rodgers…about 1890…and the Teddy Bear is the first toy anyone gave my Mom and Dad before I was born…he is actually 4 days older than me!! (errr, ummm how old is that Mom???…just askin’~~…probably older than dirt~~…umm…~~older than electricity~~…umm…I give up)…

…then Mom spreads another quilt on our bed to show me, the one in between the huFriend Quilt and the ~~older than dirt~~ really old quilt…and she tells me this is called a “Great Star of Texas” quilt pattern…(probably just a big star)…but my Mom’s Grandmother made it…in about 1965. So I’m thinkin’…”big deal”…not very old…

…then Mom tells me that her Grandmother made this quilt outta left over material my huMom’s mother used to make Mom’s dolls’ clothes…long story short…this is a TOTALLY important quilt to my MOM! NOW I GET IT!!! I HAVE HUFAMILY HISTORY!!!

…pretty colors, huh??!!

So this is how I learned I have huFamily History…even some on my huDad’s side…but I play, rest and nap under my Mom’s HuFamily History most efurryday…we take pictures of me there…and I wanted ya to know the story…
