Settling in to her new home..but NOT settling down!

Sorry it's been awhile. A lot has happened in the last year. Keesa is a year and a half and showing signs of terrible 2's! She loves all toys...that AREN'T her toys! Make up brushes, bottle caps, straws, clothes, anything that isn't connected to the surface is fair game! It's so fun to watch her prowl the house looking for her next "victim". She loves lazar pens! This is also very fun to watch since my new house has all hardwood floor and she slides across the room at lightening speed!

Keesa still loves water but has gotten a lot better at finding it. Knocking down any glass that she can find to play with dripping water or ice cubes. I have never seen such determination to get what you want as Keesa shows when she REALLY wants something.

With a face and love like hers, how could you ever stay mad at her?? After a long day of play her favorite thing is to curl up on my lap and purr as loud as she can, getting her doe eyed look that had me from the first picture I saw of her.She can lay in my lap for hours resting, probably dreaming of ways to find a new toy I haven't hid from her. She is so great with Malibu and Caprice too. Caprice and her will get going, bouncing off walls, beds, couches, counter tops. And as Im screaming "NO NO NO" she always has that look on her face "what? What did I do?"

I got her back around Christmas time. I "let" her wear her favorite hat and play Santa Claus!THANK GOD SHE LOVES ME!

growing up.....FAST

Keesa is now just a little over 7 months old and weighs a little over 10.5 lbs.

It's hard to believe she came home to us only 3 and a half months ago, she fits so well in our family...I cant even remember life with out her.

She is getting along GREAT with Malibu and Caprice. They all play like brother and sister....but I actually think Malibu has a crush on her :)

Keesa LOVES the water. Anytime the foist is running, she has her nose in it, inspecting it..trying to figure out exactly what it is. It is very obvious it is her instinct to be drawn to it. She also loves the bath...her new game is to paddle with her paws and stick her face in the water and blow bubbles!!??! Don't ask her how or why....it's Keesa, she has a mind of her own. When I am getting ready in the morning she hangs out in the shower, the water is not on, and she just lays there with a look on her face as if saying "haha water, I have WON"

While she is getting older and is listening a LITTLE better, it is still Keesa...with her larger than life personality she literally barrels into the room. Her favorite thing to do is to somersault onto her toy while playing in the living room. It is the most entertaining thing to watch.

She is SO spunky it is hard to get any pictures of her in action, she is so quick that most of the pictures are a blur...so while you are seeing pictures of a relaxed SV...it is only because she has worn herself out! Which I dont mind, because after a day of play she relaxes in our arms for an hour or so. Keesa has learned how to hug. She will wrap her arms around your neck and pull you close to her....it is the most adorable thing EVER.

She is great with our domestic cats...even though she has already claimed her role as Alpha at 7months, she loves to snuggle and really brings out the best in Malibu and Caprice.

Having a F2 Savannah in your life, you do have to make small adjustments to your lifestyle. It is like having a puppy...only smarter...and can climb! But once you get one in your family it is more than words can describe, and those small adjustment dont even matter, because the reward is so special. I thank Adrianne and Jason so much for getting us prepared and continuing to be a friend in my life! We are so thankful and just LOVE LOVE LOVE watching our monster grow...I hope you do too :)

Keesa meets her playmates

After her two week quarantine Keesa was ready to meet her new friends. At first being very content in her own room...she was now ready to explore

Meeting Malibu and Caprice: Malibu is a 3 year old Snowshoe who is as vain as they come and loves to lounge around. Caprice is our 2 year old domestic tuxedo kitty who loves to snuggle and despite her size, likes to think she runs the House

Since Malibu is the more sensible one, we introduced him first. Keesa was ready to play as usual and after a smooth play time we let them both rest a bit.

Next up was Caprice..who was just a little more hesitant. It is quite obvious Keesa will be the reigning ALPHA in this house and Caprice didn't like the looks of that. A little sniffing here and there. Keesa knew to be gentle with her and after a few short minutes they were done.

Later that evening we introduced our little monster to the rest of her house. She was very good and after a few minutes of inspecting some new territory she lied on the couch to catch some sleep (which is rare for this hyper active Savannah). What happened next was the best part of the night! Caprice who was not so interested in her new friend jumped up on the couch and......well I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Caprice seemed more than happy to get a nice bath from her new BFF. Having never done a quarantine for new animals I was unsure of what difference it would make...but after this night I realized just how right Adrianne and Jason are (p.s. they are pretty much right about everything when it comes to Savannahs). It has been almost a week since they met and Keesa is still her Tasmanian self, playing with everything she see's and getting into anything she can get her paws on....only now she is teaching the other cats some new tricks!!

Meet Keesa

My name is Keesa. I was born July 3rd 2008, which means I am almost 4 months old. I have adopted parents Brittany and Scott. I spend most of my time grooming Brittany's hair and Scott's beard....they just cant get it clean the way I can!

I am just getting settled in to my new home with Scott and Britt. I have two playmates, Malibu and Caprice that I will be able to meet once Im all nice and comfortable.

I have A LOT of energy....and I mean A LOT. I love to "hop" around chasing everything I see...sometimes that gets me into trouble, luckily my short attention span lets me move on to the next adventure pretty quickly!I am very beautiful, and have the most loving personality EVER. I love to be held and give kisses. I am also very good and giving hugs, wrapping my arms around you and giving kisses all over your face! But my very favorite thing to do is.....PLAY! Everything I see is a potential toy. What can I say? Im just doing what I do best..being cute and getting into EVERYTHING.
