Busy Bob

My family portrait...sorry I was grumpy but
it was my nap time.

Hi there, everybody! All the humans around here keep saying "Happy New Year." I'm not sure what that's about since I don't really use years, days, or hours to keep track of time. I just do what I do when I do it. Aside of the top secret cat things I do that I can't discuss, my schedule basically goes like this;

• I wake up
• do security checks 
• eat 
• exercise with Mommy
• supervise our human helpers
• eat
• do security checks
• sleep
• exercise with Mommy and Daddy 
• supervise our human helpers
• eat
• do security checks
• watch Netflix with Mommy & Daddy
• go to bed

Here are some fun photos of me & Mommy working out together! I hope you enjoy them and thanks for reading my blog!

Mommy and Daddy left me!

Bob lecturing his parents.

Hi everybody! You are not going to believe what my parents did to me. They abandoned me! It was horrible. I don't know how to tell time but I think they were gone for about fifty years.

If it wasn't for Uncle Ian and his small human that squeals, I surely would have died. They came over and fed me and played with me a few times. I'm not sure how they knew I was in distress...maybe they saw Mommy and Daddy escape.

I gave them a very stern lecture and have kept a close eye on them since their return. They don't seem to understand that I can only protect them from bugs and other scary stuff if they stay in the house. It has been a bit of a challenge getting them back in their routines as well but I sure am glad they are home. It's getting too chilly at night to sleep without my Mommy.

A Cat's Work Is Never Done

Bob sees all.

Hey there! Sorry I haven't blogged much lately. Now that I'm a grown-up cat, I have more responsibilities that take up most of my time. In addition to being cute and protecting our home from squirrels, I've started assisting Mommy with her new job. 

I really wish I could tell you what it is that Mommy does but I just don't get it. She still needs me to supervise though. If you can tell what is going on here, would you please explain it to me? I make my appearance at the 2:07 mark. 

Don't worry. I tasted the plaster and tested the stickiness of the tape and the sharpness of the scissors before anyone used them on Mommy. I almost lost a few whiskers but we both got through it ok.

After a long days work though, I really enjoy lounging on my Catio that I got for my Birthday. Lately though, these cats have been coming around and bothering me. They are all black with a white stripe down their backs and they smell awful. They must not bathe...ever. Disgusting! I groom myself as often as possible and never smell bad...unless I fart. I hope my parents don't let any of those smelly cats in the house because I am not sharing my toys with them.

Happy Birthday Bob!

Savannah Cat Bob on his Birthday Catio

Hi everybody! Did you know this is a special day? I didn't. It started like most Sundays at our house. We slept in a little. Then, when I saw Mommy starting to wake up, I laid across her face to make it easier for her to kiss my belly. After she was up and in her wheelchair, we played Peek-a-Boo and then I got on her wheelchair with her and snapped her headband a couple times. She loves these fun games I think of.

Then, without warning, Mommy and Daddy both started singing to me. I thought my ears were going to bleed but I tried not to let on so I wouldn't hurt their feelings because they sure seemed happy about it. Turns out, today is my very first Birthday! That means I'm one year old. 

I got my Birthday surprise a little early but I am still accepting presents. For my big Birthday surprise, my Uncle Bob, Aunt Iris, Uncle Ian, Mommy, Daddy and my big sister Nicole all worked together and made me a Catio! I love it! They are the best! When I sit on top of my big kitty tree, I can see the whole neighborhood. Mommy says I'm going to win the Mrs. Kravits award. I can't wait!

Baby Bob

It's been a pretty fun Birthday so far. Although, I don't think it's right that I had to get a Time-Out just for trying to help Daddy with some home improvement projects. I think my paws would work way better than those silly paint brushes he uses.

Savannah Cat Bob plays carefully with his fragile Mommy.

Hi everybody! I learned something this week that made me sad. Some people think Savannah Cats like me are mean and dangerous and should not be allowed to live in homes with our humans. I know I'm kind of clumsy and fall down a lot but I only hurt myself when I do that. I love to pounce and wrestle too but I never do that with Mommy because she is small and can get hurt really easily. Instead, we play other games.  My current favorite game to play with Mommy is Bubbles!!!

Purrrrrty please share my blog with all your friends so they can see that humans and Savannah Cats belong together!

Hey, everybody!  It's been a really fun weekend here at our house.  I made some new human friends and got to show off how high I can jump.  Then we made this fun video of me and Mommy playing with some of my favorite toys!

Savannah Cat Helps Out - Entry 225

Boy oh boy, this has been a really busy week!  I have to train a whole new herd of humans on how to take care of Mommy.  It isn't easy and sometimes I have to break the rules in order to do my job properly.  

For example, I know there are counters and tables and other places that I'm not allowed but I have to jump up there to make sure the new humans are doing things right.  I have to take the first sip of Mommy's tea to make sure there is enough honey in it.  I have to thoroughly inspect the inside of the toilet to make sure they flushed it after Mommy uses it.  If they forget to flush it, then I have to bring them whatever Mommy left in there so that they never forget again.  I also do my best to taste all of their snacks to make sure they have high standards and don't try to feed Mommy junk food.  

On top of all this extra work, I still have to make sure Mommy gets enough exercise and snuggles.  It isn't easy being a Helper Cat but it sure pays well!

Hey everybody!  I hope your weekend was as purrrrfect as mine.  I got extra snuggle-time on the couch with my family and we watched cartoons.  Then the party really got started!  See for yourself.

Me & Mommy

Happy Friday!  This has been a really good week for me.  Here are some highlights!

• I didn't have to go in time-out at all.
• I learned how to jump off my perch, over Mommy's head, and land in my bed that's on her desk!
• I got to watch fishy and birdy videos on Mommy's computer.
• Every morning, I get to wake up in Mommy's armpit!

I guess Mommy had a pretty good week too.  Before I was born, she was in a movie with some other cats and now the movie is for sale.  I was kind of sad because I didn't get to be in it but she said I can be in the next one.  If you want to buy a copy, click on her picture below.  I'm warning you though...the cats in this movie are not classy Savannahs like me.

Bob the Savannah Cat - Entry 013

Hi, everybody!  It's me, Bob the Savannah Cat!  I'm almost 4 months old now and life is good.  

Recently, some people in wheelchairs emailed my Mommy and said that they want a Savannah Cat too.  They are scared though, that they won't be able to play with or take care of a Savannah Cat from a wheelchair.

As you can see, I love having a Mommy who uses a wheelchair because I get to ride on it with her!  So, we decided to make a series of videos to show everybody what a great team we are!  If you learn anything from our videos, we'd love to hear about it!  

Mommy said to mention that she made the toy used in this video out of a stick she found outside, a leather cord she took off of an old handbag, and tissue paper that was stuffed in a new pair of shoes.

Oh, sorry about Mommy's lack of proper people wear.  Parents can be so embarrassing!

Bob the Savannah Cat - Entry 011

Hi, everybody!  It's me, Bob!  I have a few updates to share.  

• I decided that I really do like that new raw food Mommy makes for me.  It just took me a day to get used to it because it feels a little funny in my mouth. 
• I learned that Mommy's house-car is actually called a wheelchair.  
• I love my new perch that Uncle Ian made for me so that I can ride around with Mommy.  Today, I helped her work all day and even fixed her hair for her.

Bob the Savannah Cat - Entry 010

As you know, I'm my Mommy's special helper.  That's why she had Uncle Ian make me a special perch on Mommy's house-car so that I can supervise everything she does!  I'm not big enough yet to jump up there from the floor so I just climb up the post in the back. 

If your Mommy or Daddy drives a house-car and you want a special perch made, email me and I'll put you in touch with my Uncle Ian.
