Monday Meowsie News: Surprised Again!!

My new furriend Tigger, over at Tigger’s Teachings totally flabbergasted (vocabulary and spelling builder) me…just as my staff, read “Mom”, was off on another of her and Dad’s ‘get-aways’…Tigger passed two gorgeous Awards to me!!! Luv ya Tig baby!! Luv ya my man!!

The first Award is the One Lovely Blog Award:

I am so humbled to think that someone experiences my blog as “lovely”…I’m always afraid that what I tell Mom to post is too silly or uninformative or uninteresting…it is, after all, a blog that is just about My Life and My Recovery from being an adult shelter rescue cat…and the photos are tough to get ‘cuz I don’t hang around much when the camera comes out…sigh

The second one is the Very Inspiring Blogger Award:

Well, again…I would NEVER tell any of my former shelter roomies that I thought I was “Inspiring” any cat, let alone a peep! Go figure?! I am so very honored again to have someone such as Tigger pass this along to me.

The Awards’ rules are as follows:

(1) Thank the person who nominated you and link back to them in your post. (Thanks again Tigger’s Teachings!)

(2) Share 7 things about yourself…I have already done this when a couple of other awards were passed forward to me…so I don’t think I’ll bore ya with more…MOL

(3) Nominate 15 bloggers you admire.

So….ya all know from my last Awards posting…I find it difficult to name so many blogs, that don’t already HAVE these awards! And I admire EFURRYBODY I visit efurry day!.

I am again, only less than 4 full months into my blog journey…and still working hard to hook up with others…mostly a time issue ‘cuz my staff types kind’a slow…harrummpppfff

So here’s hoping some of you furriends don’t have these great Awards yet!:

Jimmie Chew…he sort’a looks like a relative of mine…nice!
Cat From Hell’s Blog…Nellie and Kozmo are ALWAYS inspiring!…and of course Queen Penelope is lovely
My Three Moggies…they already have One Lovely Blog so they really outta have “Inspiring” too ‘cuz their adoption story is pretty cool
Pedro of Maru Can Kiss My Furry…! well Pedro is totally Inspiring in the way he searched for the 350 pound cow…go cowcat!
Wazeau’s World…I always luv visiting Nekoka, Sassafrass the cats and then Bandit and Merlin the parrots..what a mix
Three Cat Yard…Calpurnia, Julius and Gus are verrryyy photogenic…
Hutch A Good Life…my piggy best buddies…Nibbles, Nutty, Bingo and Buddy
Hey, It’s Jet Here…of course this is my big guy Jetty…he has the Lovely Award, but given his rescue story…totally needs to be sport’in the ‘Inspiring” Award
Clowie’s Corner…my big fuffly pile of white soft fur…purrrr
Texas, A Cat in New York…Texas is one admirable cat…hang these on your walls my good furriend!
Spity Speaks…I luvluvluv how he looks in a tux!
Katnip Lounge…OMC! Totally ‘Lovely’ and ‘Inspiring’…they brought us the REYED adventure and the ‘pink starfish‘ lable and who can forget ‘airing my undies’…
House Panthers…gotta luvluvluv that color!
Nerissa’s Life…once I got his name and gender sorted out…we have been best furriends…MOL
Brian’s Home…ya gotta check out all these cats…great photos and content…

(4) Leave a comment on each letting them know they have been nominated….I will get those out to efurrybody today!

Now, lemme leave ya with a couple of photos…as you know now…Dad and Mom got home yesterday…and Oh Cat! Did I ever miss them!! First time this morning…I trotted right behind Dad down to the kitchen to get my brekkies! I even let him give me a pet while I ate!!! YES! Paw Pumps for Savannah!

And Mom was sooooo sweet…she didn’t jump outta bed this morning to get to her spin class at the gym…she hung out in bed with ME!!! And we just chilled…watched the WHOLE Good Morning America show…nice! Score one more for ME!

…this is me and Mom watchin’ TV this morning…

…and I got some brushing time from Dad…

Nice home coming for Mom and Dad…’cuz this time I let them know how totally much I missed them…kept Mom up half the night ‘cuz everytime she moved…I meowed at her…so she would give lots of scratches and rubs and stuff…she says we’re gonna have a nap later to day MOL!

Paw Pats, Savannah

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’…
