Adopted F4 - "Taz"

Jon Spelbring

Savannah Kitten
Bless you Jon for taking in this poor little guy! I can't fathom him being passed around so many times, but he is a very fortunate fellow for having lucked upon you! I look forward to hearing more about how he is settling in, in the days and weeks to come :up:

OK. Here is my first funny Taz story. He still freaks out a bit when the other cats get too close. No fights, just panic. So, I'm sitting on the sofa with him, all is well. Next thing I know, he's yelling, scrambling and running. On the tile in front of the fireplace is a cat statue - made of resin, maybe 1/3 his size. He assumed it was another cat and panicked. I guess statues can be pretty stealthy. I went and "rescued" him, brought him back to the sofa, to show him it was a statue - he panics again! I let him calm down a bit, then carried the statue over to him, holding it upside down so it didn't look like a cat anymore. He didn't panic, but I think there was a bit of feline embarrasment.

Poor baby! It reminds me of when I brought home my very first Savannah, Paris. She was quarantined in our computer room, and one night she happened to jump on a dresser and caught sight of herself in the mirror hanging above....lol! Paris hissed, growled and punched at the "other kitten" she did not know until then lived in the same room with her ;) When it quickly dawned on her that the "other kitten" was really her reflection...she looked embarrassed, but quickly recovered as only a Savannah can....like, "Harrummph. I knew it was me all along. I was just messing with you to see how you would react" ;)

It was priceless and is one of our funniest memories ever.

Welcome Jon. Very nice of you to give Taz a home. Have patience, it will be rewarded. You are about to find out how wonderful these cats are.

Jon, congrats and welcome! Taz is a gorgeous boy! Did you rescue him?

It always makes me so sad to hear of any cat having multiple homes and being declawed on top of everything else. People do not understand how sometimes declawing messes with a cat's psyche, never mind how cruel it is.

When I was very young, I delcawed one of my cats - it changed him forever...he started biting all the time :( I never declawed again, nor would I and we do not need to go into the declaw debate here - we have other threads on it - just sayin'

Not so much rescue as re-homed via Craigslist.

I am so glad you adopted this little guy and am happy to hear he won't have to pack his bags and move again. These are special, special kitties and you will find out just how lucky YOU are!
