AJSavannahs Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (of my foot!)

AJSavannahs F2B Michael on top, playing King of the Hill. Bella left and Kevin right worked together to pull him down right after I took this photo.

And ALL of Kboo's kittens and their cousin Oscar had a blast today between trying to take the bandage off my toe, hit my bruised foot (torn ligaments again), steal my Moto Droid, play hockey with the camera, leap off my shoulder to the cedar chest, pierce my ears, help sweep, supervise changing litterboxes, block me from escaping. You get the idea! They were wound up and focused on the weakest in the herd and boy is that me. Just published 35 new photos on our AJSavannahs Facebook page.

We cut claws after these photos, foolish on our part, should have done it first, and I was trying to stand on one foot like a flamingo while holding a kitten for Jason to cut claws. It was funny, as always, to see them try and climb my jeans after having nails trimmed. Such sad confused looks when they don't have any traction to shimmy up. We're in the process of teaching them not to climb, but it's always harder when you have five siblings. Collective short attention span is hard to overcome!

They slept hard for about four hours this afternoon. Tried to sneak back up for more photos, but they can hear me coming up the stairs with my foot hurt. So I gave up and was grateful for these shots.

Have an 11-minute video that I need to process next. Will try and edit, but WHO do I cut out??? Will try and upload tonight on our AJSavannahs YouTube channel.

Kboo's Kittens Meet Oscar

Just published 64 new photos on Facebook; Kboo's kittens meeting Oscar for the first time. Kboo's babies are 52 days of age, Oscar 16 weeks. Berta immediately learned how to jump UP, just from watching Oscar. All five trailed Oscar around the room, jumping at his tail and trying to get his attention. Bella kissed his nose, Kevin made multiple mini-serval leaps to try and take him down, Eric bopped him on the nose, and Michael went up and tried to headbutt a greeting. They were all worn out by the time their meet-and-greet time was over. Michael could barely keep his eyes open; he looks absolutely beat!

Sambu and Toki (Terry and Jimmy)

Sambu (Terry) and Toki (Jimmy) are very happily settled into their new home with David in California. He's not set up on the AJSavannahs Family Blog yet, so I just had to share these photos. Sambu is flying from his cat tree and landing on a very soft king-size bed about eight feet away.



Sambu and Toki are F2B kittens from our F1 Kboo and F6A Mbau. This is the same pairing that gave us my sweet Harvey. Their brother Howie is as beautiful, just that our other David, in Florida, (who also has our F2B Tessa from Kboo and Mbau) hasn't sent recent photos! (No pressure there...)



Age five months in these photos, Sambu already weighs 13 pounds, Toki a bit less. We wanted these boys to stay together and were very happy when David obliged. This is the delivery that stranded me in Charlotte, with Andrew coming to our rescu. Andrew has our F2B kittens Zeus from Gabatta, Fina from Kboo, and F3C Isis who is Ayo's granddaughter.



Toki , above, showing off his Happy Tail, below, his beautifully contrasted coat. Although smaller than his brother (who isn't???) Toki has always managed to more than hold his own in any altercation, real or imagined.



Sambu has Kboo's sweet face and I think he's almost as pretty as Harvey. We expect him to be about 90% of Harvey's size when full grown, based on his birth weight and weight at age five months. Toki will be a large Savannah, but always dwarfed by Sambu. Even though Toki has the much larger personality.



We're expecting F2B kittens from Gabatta and Mbau late October. And should know in about a week if Kboo is pregnant, also from Mbau. If yes, her babies would be due mid-November.

Kboo's Kittens and Fox NFL Sunday

Kboo's kittens have arrived. All boys, our F2B kittens Terry, Howie and Jimmy were born April 9th, just a bit ahead of schedule. Photos coming soon at our AJSavannahs Kittens page.

Fox NFL Sunday explanation on our AJSavannahs Daily Blog.

Kboo and Mbau have given us our gigantic F2B boys Trouble, Cary, Wilbur, Jack (Shombay), and my Sweet, Spoiled Harvey. We're hoping for more big, beautiful typey boys this time, too.

Check out our AJSavannahs Kittens page for a video of Kboo's kittens Cary, Sophia, Audrey (Aja) and Grace kicking and pushing to get out.

And don't miss our extensive collection of movies on our AJSavannahs YouTube channel. My goal is to publish at least three new (older) videos each week til I'm caught up. Which never seems to happen, it's too much fun to play with (socialize is the preferred word!), to play with our kittens.

Movies on our AJSavannahs Movies blog, too.
