My Progress Is Showing

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I haven’t “officially” reported on my progress in a while. You see I am an adult shelter cat recovering from early kitten hood trauma. Yep, that’s me. I last talked about a bit of my current progress here.

What I didn’t tell you clearly is that I am finally, after almost five years in my forever home, bonding with Dad P! Yep, that’s right. Every morning now, for about the last two months, I look to Dad P, not Mom L, for my morning pet.

For those of you who have followed me from the beginning, you know that I have always been afraid of Dad P, and most other men. But times—they are ‘a changin’!

First time ever in five years—this morning, September 27th, I invited Dad P for a play with ME!!

wanna play

It turns out that I kind’a like the same wand toy TKS likes. It is the wand with ONLY the string attached!

347-ed-s-pm-wm

I was havin’ a great romp with Dad P and then guess who showed up??

She is here

Once I saw Mom L was just tryin’ to capture “the moment”—I decided what the Mouses! Let’s do it again!

Let's go again

I forgot all about Mom L taking those photos and focused on my “ME TIME” with Dad P.

Savvy satisfied

I hope my readers understand what a HUGE BIG DEAL this is that I am asking Dad P for pets every single morning. I even give him little head butts! And now—I asked Dad P to play with me! This is HUGE progress for me. Thank you all for joining me in my journey to recover from early kittenhood trauma. Progress can be slow to show up, but it does if our guardians are patient and kind and understand we adult shelter rescue cats need both.

Have Fun With Lousy Selfie Photos

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Finally it’s my turn to have this Sunday Selfie edition all to myself. I wanted to try being a little more creative before I join my pals The Kitties Blue from The Cat On My Head for their Sunday Selfie Blog Hop. Paw the badge below to transport over and check out all the other cool selfies.

Now here is one of those photos I have no idea why Mom L allows it to take up space on my terabyte photo drive. I mean seriously, not much of any redeeming qualities, except of course, that it is a photo of me.

Why do you think anyone will be able to see me? The light is BEHIND me!

I pawed the auto smart correct button on my Photoshop Elements and at least you could see I had whiskers!

My green eyes aren't visible but at least I now have whiskers

Well I decided I needed extra help from Pic Monkey. I was determined to have my eyes show up better. They are, after all, one of my very best features.

Well my eyes are there but that over exposure!!

Now I had to think of some way to hide all the mistakes in this one photo. Enter LunaPic!! Here are some of their fun effects, tell me which one you like the best.

Number One Lots of detail, maybe too much?

Next I tried something extreme so that over exposure doesn’t dominate.

Number Two: Now that over exposure just blends right in!

My last try was way more artsy. I think it makes my upper lip look too big!

Number Three: does my lip look too fat???

Let me know which of my final artsy selfies you like best: Number One, Two or Three
