AJSavannahs JET Update from Teresa and Jimmy
Teresa gave permission for me to share this. We read it late Saturday night, laughed so hard it hurt. Then reread Sunday and Monday and just had to share. Jericho goes by JJ now, he's actually AJSavannahs Jericho from our F1 Ayo and F6 Wari. Ellie is an F3B Savannah from our F2B Komari and F6 Wari. Tater is a gorgeous domestic shorthair, rescued at just a few days of age, and a survivor against terrible odds. Except that he was fortunate enough to be found by Teresa and Jimmy.
In your face, LOUD and opinionated. She has started trying to jump into my arms if I don't pick her up fast enough. That has made for some ugly flops on the floor as she is so uncoordinated. I was standing by the island doing a quick check of the newspaper and this cat head came flying up through it. Scared the heck out of me. Needless to say I didn't get her caught. Didn't thwart her further attempts.
Also do they chew as much as dogs? JJ luckily only chews on his toy like the one you brought with him. BUT he has gone through 5 of them. Chewing the plastic into rings but not chewing the strings. He will chew for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. He still drags it to the food dish and chews, eats, chews etc. Has to have it to eat with or he almost won't eat. Had Jim pick up a bunch of them at Petco so he wouldn't run out.
I wish I had a video of JJ the other night. We were in bed and I was throwing his toy into the bathroom for him. He flew off the bed just as Tater was coming out from under the cat tree and JJ landed right on top of him. Scared them both and with some scared hissing from Tater, JJ went flying into the spa tub.
A minute later I saw, through the tears in my eyes from laughing, JJ's head slowly pop up over the edge then disappear, then slowly reappear and gone again but his little paws were always on the edge. When he thought the coast was clear he came out of there at mach V and about took me through the bedroom wall when he hit. He was running to mama fearing the worst from the old man. Tater tolerates most everything JJ does but he and Ellie are still on rocky terms most of the time.
They have been helping me a lot in the office.....I have finally had to rearrange everything so that there is enough room for me to work and JJ to lay on the desk. That requires a lot of space.
JET Update from Teresa:
JJ has been changing lately. He actually sat in my lap on the couch last night and wanted lots of tummy rubs. He loves his chest and belly scratched and has started headbutting. He would always raise his head but now he is starting to smack you one. He is so sweet, gentle and softly spoken......THEN there is Ellie.

Didn't thwart her further attempts. Such a little trouble maker too. Devilish little girl and you can see the mean little thoughts swirling through her head. So easy to read. If I am on the couch reading with the book in my lap she just jumps on top of it or pushes it off. But I don't mind, she is the little lap cat I wanted. She rules the house and that is the way she likes it. Us girls have to stick together around here as we are outnumbered.
