Savannah Cat Bob has a case of the grumpies!

Hi everybody! I'm really grumpy today. Riding in the car doesn't really bother me as long as I'm in my crate with my Pooh blanket from Auntie Pam, and Mommy is sitting next to me. Sometimes I'll ask where we're going or if we're there yet but I don't ever get upset, cry, or go peepee on myself. 

This morning, Mommy told me it was mani/pedi day so I knew we were going to go "bye-bye in the car," as Daddy says. Everything was business as usual until we pulled out of the driveway and Daddy didn't even seem to notice that Mommy wasn't with us! I immediately panicked! 

He said that she had work to do and had to stay home. They never asked me if I was agreeable to this. I was outraged and demanded that I be allowed to call Mommy on the phone! As soon as I heard her voice, and she promised she'd never make me ride in a car without her again, I was able to calm down and stop screaming. My mani/pedi went pretty smooth. I didn't speak to Daddy the whole way home though, just so he knew I was still upset.

I'm going to take a nap now in my new bed and start this day over.

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!

Savannah Cat Bob Tummy Troubles - Entry 233

Hi there, everybody!  Today is my 11 month birthday!  It's been a rough 11th month. First, I got that booboo on my head.  We never did figure out what it was but I'm glad it's all better. Mommy said I run into stuff so much, I probably knocked the fur right off!

Then, I had some tummy trouble. It wasn't because I ate anything bad. I just...I just do not like change and when too many things change all at once, I get upset. You won't believe what my parents did! They got a new dining room set and got rid of the old one without even discussing it with me. I was already grumpy because they kept putting that sticky medicine on my head booboo. Plus, there has been a lot of loud and scary noises coming from the front porch. Mommy keeps saying that it's a surprise for me and I'm going to love it when it's done. I'm skeptical.

So, all this stress upset my tummy and I couldn't eat. Of course, that meant I had to go back to the Vet. This time the Vet let me hide under my Pooh blanket while he examined me. He's pretty nice. Then I got an X-ray and saw what was wrong with my tummy. I had really bad gas but it wasn't coming out. Lucky for me, Mommy knew exactly what to do!

She started giving me digestive enzymes and probiotics every day. She also gave me a funny massage on my face called, Reflexology. Within 24 hours, I farted a bunch and it sure felt good! 

It took me a few days to get back to my regular routine but I feel great now. Mommy says I have to take my enzymes and probiotics forever to keep my tummy happy. Her and Daddy take them too.

Now I just have to wait and see what this surprise is...

Savannah Cat Bob Goes To The Vet - Entry 232

Hi, Everyone!  It's me Bob. Today has been just awful. I got a booboo on my head and Mommy made me go to the Vet. 

I don't understand why I had to go because it didn't hurt until the Vet scraped it to see what it is. Mommy didn't even yell at him, like she did my old Vet who said I shouldn't eat raw chicken.

Now I have to put medicine on my booboo every day for a whole week! I don't know how long a week is but I but it's a long time. It better not mess up my fur or I'll be more mad! Mommy says that I'm getting a really big surprise soon and then I'll forget what a bad day this was. I wonder what my surprise is...

Savannah Cat Bob Grows Up - Entry 231

Bob C. Hash, F3 Savannah Cat @ 10 months old

Hi everyone!  It's me, Bob!  I'm 10 months old now and weigh 11 lbs. Most of my time these days is spent protecting our house and training my humans and  Mommy's human helpers.

Ever since the snow went away, there has been a lot of little creatures trying to get in our house.  Mommy says they are called "bugs." Sometimes one will get inside and I have to alert the humans immediately because it's my job. Should one of those sinister looking squirrels who taunt me ever gets in the house though, Mommy said I'm allowed to eat it. I pray to Bast daily for the opportunity to dismember just one...a kitty can dream...

Anyway, training my humans is coming along pretty good. Almost every time I give them

a command, they obey.  Mommy has been the easiest to train. When I want kisses from her, I just put my face in her mouth to make it easier for her to reach me. When I want her to rub my belly, all I have to do is lay on my back. I like it when she uses her back paws.

Bob & his bubbles

Homie was a little harder to train but we have made lots of progress.  He's a bigger human than Mommy and he can walk on his hind legs. The trick with training humans is consistency. Every time I poop, I tell Homie and he scoops it. Then I grab his leg and nibble him so he knows I am pleased. When I want him to blow bubbles for me so I can meow at them, all I have to do is knock the bubbles on the floor. 

What's in your bag?

Mommy's human helpers are proving to be easier to train than I thought. Sometimes I like to reward them by putting my toys in their shoes or their bags.  Sometimes when I'm putting a toy in their bags, I see shiny stuff and then I take it. I can't help it but I am working on controlling these urges.

When I have free time, I like to play with my rubber duckies.

Sometimes I just need some privacy. I mean, I am almost a grown cat. When I need some time to myself, I like to hide in my Man Cave with my Pooh blanket.

Savannah Cat Super Genius - Entry 230

Belly rubs are very relaxing.

Hey there, everyone! I'm 8 1/2 months old now and I weigh 10lbs!  Mommy says I'm a big boy and a super genius because I learn new things everyday. 

Last week, I learned how to lock the bathroom door. A few moments later, I learned that Mommy does not have a key for the bathroom door. We were both scared that I would have to live in the bathroom forever. Lucky for me, all my humans are really smart and they figured out how to save me.

Now that I'm a big boy, I had to learn a new way to get morning kisses from Mommy. You see, like me, my Mommy is a special breed. Savannah Cats are bigger and stronger than regular domestic cats but Mommy's breed of human is smaller and more fragile than regular domestic humans. 

Help! She's tickling me!

I used to just walk up Mommy's stomach and lay on her face so she could give me morning kisses without getting up. Well, one day when I was walking up her stomach she made a noise...like, maybe that didn't feel very good on her stomach. So now, I just stand next to Mommy while she is laying in bed and then I gently roll on top of her...and put my face right in her mouth so she can give me morning kisses without getting up!

I'm a pro at cleaning toes!

Savannah Cat Learns Manners - Entry 229

Bob pretending his raw beef is actually squirrel.

Hi, Everyone! Sorry I don't have as much time to blog as I used to.  This world is such an unpredictable place that it is hard for me to focus.  

In the past couple weeks, there have been some disturbing changes. 

There is no more snow to bring in the house and put in the bathtub for me to play in.  I'm not sure where it all went but I suspect these foul creatures called "squirrels" had something to do with it because it disappeared as soon as they started running amok.  I do not trust them and yell at them at every opportunity.

Then, it rained a bunch and it all puddled up in the basement.  I thought this was fantastic!  Mommy did not agree.  After I played in the basement puddle, Mommy made me play in the sink with clean water.  I'm still confused about Mommy's obvious displeasure with that whole situation.  I enjoyed every minute of it!

Now I'm supposed to be learning MANNERS.  Apparently, that means I should not do anything that seems super duper fun.  I'm not allowed to slap humans on their butt when they are bending over.  I'm not allowed to climb up the inside or outside of a lady's skirt.  I'm not allowed to lick boobs or try to get inside a lady's shirt.  I love my Mommy but sometimes she is totally unreasonable.
