I Have a Voice!!…Who Knew!!

It seems sort’a silly when I think about it…a cat that doesn’t know it can use its MEOW to get stuff done, emmmmm, by the peeps, of course! And that voice is good to defend the house when on patrol too!

A couple of things to share today…I have a voice! And if I use it just right…I can get Dad and Mom to do stuff for me….and I can let them know I like something they do, like feed me!

When I was in the shelters, I mostly never said a thing…no meows, no purrs, no nuttin’ came out of my voice…then when I got my furrever home, I started to talk to Mom a bit…just about some stuff like my memories and things…and I started to talk just a bitty bit with Dad…mostly sports ‘cuz he likes that, but sometimes we talk politics or I watch the Military Channel with him…he likes that historical stuff so he brushes me, I purr to let him know I like it and we watch TV.

Now, here’s what I am discovering about my voice…and I can be really loud! Who Knew!! This morning for the first time, I decided I needed my brekkies and did not want to wait for Mom and Dad to get up…so I helped MOM! You Got It!!! I helped her by using my VOICE!!

First, I sleep between them…so I decide to walk right across Moms butt to her other side (I never walk across her, I always go around, not this time)….so I am now right in her face and I USE MY VOICE…MMMEEEOOOWWWW!!! about an inch from her nose! Wow…she woke right up!!! Wooo Hooo….I am gettin’ it…use the voice, especially a loud one…to get nom noms….and to get the ‘rents to do it when I want it….ok,ok,ok…got that!

Then I learned I can encourage Dad to walk a bit faster to get my brekkies if I FOLLOW him down the hall to the kitchen and surpervise him prepping my nom noms! Course, I talk to him the whole time so’s he knows I am anxious and starving….worked pretty good this morning so will do again tomorrow….

Finally, last night I was completing my final patrol of the house…and I found the breakfast room slider still open…so I sat there a bit takin’ in the night breeze…and OH MY CAT!!!! Another cat came on my deck….so I USED MY VOICE to protect the house and let Dad and Mom know they were in danger!!! YOWL…GRRROOOWWLLL…WAROWWWW…and so on….got Dad to come runnin’…he took care of that cat…but I USED MY VOICE to save us…

After all, this is now my furrever home and I need to start taking part…I am learning about using my voice…

Course, I don’t have any corresponding photos to go with this new learning…but thought ya might like to see me playin’ with my paper bag PLUS the shredded newspaper my pals Nibbles, Nutty, Bingo and Buddy over at Hutch A Good Life told me to use…WILD, CRAZY noise it makes…luvluvluv it!!

…first the ole’ ‘check it out’ move…

…then check it from other angles in case something is gonna grab me…

..now rough up that shredded newspaper…what a ruckus it makes…luvluvluv it!

…finally…enjoy late afernoon sun puddles when I am spent from playing with another new thing…

I had a really good day and night Monday…hmmmm…maybe because it was a special day to remember others who had the courage to stand up for something and sacrifice for it…both humans and canines…hmmm…wonder if that is helping me to find the power of my voice….need a nap to ponder that…

Monday Meowsie News…

OH MY CAT!!!!! JUST WHEN I WAS ALMOST OVER THE EXCITEMENT OF RECEIVING THE SUNSHINE AWARD…I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!

My new furriend Texas, A Cat in New York, just gave the Liebster Award to me…I am truly humbled…(waving paw in front of face, twitching tail repeatedly)…whew!

The protocol for getting this award is as follows:

1. Link back to the person who nominated me: Texas, A Cat in New York

2. Nominate five (5) bloggers who have less than 200 followers (if you can tell).

In no particular order, here are my Liebster Blog nominees:

Clowie’s Corner
Satchmo The Cat
CATachresis
The World’s Most Stunning Cat
On The Road With Animal Couriers

I tried to tell if each of these bloggers had less than 200 followers, but it was not easy to find on some sites. But I love all of these and so hope they can accept…

Now, just a tad more of Monday Meowsie News…but I don’t have a photo to go with it…I was too fast for Mom!!! MOL

So most of you know, I am still in my recovery process…learning how to play again, how to trust and stuff. Well, one of the things I kind’a unlearned during my time in limbo, then in the shelters…is I unlearned how to leap and jump sort’a. I only get 2 feet off the ground at one time…anything more is pretty scary right now.

Welllll…last night…Mom was playing with me…she and Dad bought me lots of toys lately…anyways…she tossed a little pink shiny nip toy to me…and it rolled, I chased it and THEN….wait for it ……wait for it…..

YES! PAW PUMPS!!! I JUMPED…ALL 4 PAWS OFF THE FLOOR…and landed on top of it, hatched it for a while (like seconds)…then hooked my right set of claws in it and slung it down the hall….and chased it like a crazy cat!! WOO HOO! WHAT A RUSH

I looked at Mom…her mouth was open…her eyes looked kind’a wild like…and then she said something like, ummm…maybe…wellll….I think it sounded like “holly sheep”…or something like that.

So ‘cuz I didn’t give her time to take a photo…here are a couple of me playin’ and stuff…just to tide you over until I share my adventure in my Harry Potter Closet with you….

first…here is my first USED TISSUE PAPER TOY…in honor of my BFF Sammy, at One Spoiled Cat…he whispered to me once “Savannah, try Tissue Paper Toy”…so I did…here is what it looked like when I was done…

…then here is another shot of me and my paper bag…

Well, it has been a pretty big Monday Meowsie News at least for me…so I am gonna go find a quiet nap spot…

Still Trying New Things

Hiya, Savannah here. As this is Saturday Blog Hop…I will make this short so I can get moving on the hop!

I am still finding new places to relax in my house…and gettin’ even more comfy in some of them I already discoverd…ya know…letting myself sort of stretch out, hang out…so to speak…

The new/old sun puddle spot on the stairs is becoming one of my faves…I’m just gettin’ more relaxed about using it…

..you can see I’m pretty catgone relaxed in this spot now…

Then lately, Dad and Mom couldn’t find me…and lo and behold…I had rediscovered an old hiding spot they made for me in their closet when I first came here…I just decided it was a really nice, dark spot to nap on Hoover Thursday or when loud guests come over…

…then there is always the old stand by, my bed in Mom’s office window…I’m just not comfy staying in it when she uses her office…still don’t know why I quit hanging out with her…but I love this bed when I can have the office to myself…ummmm…purrrr….

…now my new spot…oh cat! Is this ever great!!! Dad left the slider open from our breakfast room to the humongous deck outside…nice sunny warm day…and there is this mat in front of the slider…I always sit on this mat to tidy up after I have had a drink from my fountain or a snack…who knew I would find SUN PUDDLES here too…and a nice warm breeze…yes!

…so I wanted you all to know I’m still exploring, trying out new spots, getting more comfy in old spots, and rediscovering old spots I can use to nap, not hide…

Happy Saturday Blog Hop
