Meowllo everypawdy, da weekend’s here. WooHoo Well yesfurday fur National answer yous cat’s question day we let you choose da questions. And we got sum good ones dat’s fur sure. See, we ask mommy questions all da time and she answers ‘em wight then and there. And usually ifin hers can’t answer ‘em hers will find da answer. Whether dat means duin’ wesearch or askin’ sumpawdy els, so weez didn’t weally hav anyfin’ to ask hers. And we usually do da same fing wiff all of you. Ifin weez wunnewin’ sumfin’ ‘bout ya’, weez just ask. Yous always answer, so Fank you fur dat. Now me will get on to da question and answer portion of this posty.
Da first question by ow pawsum furiends da Trout Town Tabbies wuz: Why dusn’t mommy grow us more gwass in da house?
Mommys answer: I ought to. the girls love their grass, but we just don’t have the room to put a football field of grass in the house, and I get tired of stepping in and cleaning up the grass puke. MOL A little grass goes a long way.
I’z lubz da grazz too. Fankz awnty Jennifer.
Ow nex questionwuz fwum meez fellow Cat Scout and furiend Shoko fwum da Canadian Cats. She wanted to know where me sleeps.
Meez gunna answer this one. Me sleeps wight beside mommy. We hav a twin size hospital bed and mommy sleeps as faw over to one side as hers can to make room fur me to curl up at hers waist. Sis Lexi sleeps between mommy legs and rests hers head on mommys thigh.
Ow nex question got asked by a kupple of ow wunnewful furiends. Timmy fwum da Tomcat Commentary and Annabelle fwum Manx Mnews wanted to know what toy wuz boff Lexi and meez favowit.
Sissy and me talked this one over a while and came to a consensus. Ow favowit toy wuz da Cat’s Meow. we actually played wiff it so much we ran da motor out and it dusn’t work anymore. So, now ow favowit toys awe those wiff da nip in ‘em. You know da nana, da made wiff luv toys weez won and ow ball and twack toys.
Ow furiends da Florida Furkids wanted to know what ow favowit pizza is.
OMC It’s Pepperoni!!! Weez luv, luv, luv da pepperoni pizza. Dat weminds me of a question me has, when can we hav anudder pizza mommy? Oh, mommy sez soon.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Anyways on to ow nex question which comes fwum ow adventurwous furiends da Purrfect Kitties. They wanna know ifin weez ever seen a weal live mousey.
Well… me hasn’t ever seen a weal live mousey but mommy sez she finks me wuld be a weal hunter and killer. Sis Lexi on da udder hand…she has seen a weal mousey and she joined mommy up in da chair while hers bwofur Lucky chased it down and made short work of it. C’mon now, weez posh pampurred inside Service kitties. MOL
Come here mousy meez gunna get you.
Ow dear furiend Tribble hoo got a new bwofur last year has da nex question. And she wants to know why weez hav no bwofur and do we want one. MOL Even tho’ this be a fun question it has a very serious answer, so meez gunna let mommy take this one.
Dear sweet Tribble after losing Devon to cancer and then Lucky and Ransom who both had UTI’s that essentially robbed them of their lives and me of them, I just couldn’t go through that again. Although females can get UTI’s it is more of a risk for males. So after Ransom died I prayed and asked God too send me a sweet little girl to love. And He did. He sent Dezi to me, and she is perfect in every way. I love all the boys that are in our lives including your sweet brother, but my heart couldn’t take another loss like that. So that’s why the girls don’t have a physical brother. You and your mommy are family to us, your not just online friends. That means your family is our family, including Indy.
Da nex question is by one of ow pawsum Facebook awnties. She’s been wiff us since almost da beginnin’. And she wanted to know when mommy had hers accident and ifin meez still fwaid of da loud noises.
Mommy had hers accident November 21, 1994. And yes, there awe sum loud noises dat still scare me. And meez purrawlly gunna fweak out again this year when spwing finally awwives and da lawn crew shows up fur da first time in mumffs. MOL
We saved this question fur last, cuz it might take a little time to answer. Ow furiends Pipo and Minko fwum We bees Siamese want to know how we learned to be Service Cats.
Dat’s a loaded question and wuld take a lot more time than we hav in this posty. We posted back on April 19, 2014 ‘bout Shad, Mommy’s Original Service Cat who twained herselff. And after she died and mommy wealized dat kitties kuld be twained to do such fings mommy stawted twainin’ hers very nex kitty, Devon. And while volunteerin’ wiff a wescue gwoup mommy adopted Lucky and then Lexi and twained them also. Devon helped wiff their twainin’ as well. We posted a little ‘bout Lexi’s twainin’ back on April 21, 2014 in Lexi Becomes a Service Cat. And finally me joined mommy and Lexi and they hav boff had a hand in twainin’ me.
As we hav had quite a foo new furiends join us in wecent mumffs we will be tellin’ more stories ‘bout ow twainin’ in da future. Although ow posts awe in no way meant to be a twainin’ manual as we don’t cover minute by minute. It wuld be way too boring. Twainin’ isn’t always fun or funny. We twy to post the joyous and funny times, and even lots of da oopsies. Just know dat there’s a lot of time put into twainin’. We wusn’t born Service cats, but any cat can be twained to become one. And we also posted the diffewence between a Service cat and Therapy cat on April 18, 2014. They awe not the same thing or interchangeable terms. Lexi and me awe twained Service Animals. Me has also been fwu da certification purrawcess to be a Therapy cat cuz mommy likes to giv back to da community when she can and weez not hav munny to giv but we do hav time.
Well, dat wraps up da questions and answers fwum National answer yous cats question day. We hope you learned a little more ‘bout us. As always ifin yous hav a question fur us anytime, just ask. Weez not mind answerin’ anyfin’ so long as it’s wespectful and nice. Yous know weez a rated G bloggy dat wuld be safe fur da peeps gwandchildwen to wead. so just member to keep it clean. There wuz anudder question dat rian asked. Hims didn’t actually ask us, but we wanted to share it. Hims not been feelin’ so good of late and wanted to know why hims sisfurs wus always hovewin’. Hims dad did a gweat job of answerin’ him and we just wanted to say dat we kitties be very empafetic. And when we luv, we luv deep. And we just want ow furmily to be okay. They hover Brian cuz they luv you, as do we. Yous in ow purrayers as is yous furmily.
And speakin’ of purrayers, weez askin’ you to keep sis Lexi in all yous purrayers. She will hav da bloggy nex time to tell yous ‘bout da rest of hers and mommys day togedder and giv yous an update on hers pill takin’ and eatin’. So be sure to come check it out.

Meowllo everypawdy, hope yous had a pawsum day. Me knows dat sis Lexi wuz gunna be bloggin’ today ‘bout hers day out wiff mommy, but it’s answer yous cats question day today, so Lexi will tell hers story anudder day. We also wanna fank Miss Ellen fwum 15 and meowin’ fur da Roar and donation to ow PayPal and a meowsy big fank you to Brian and hims furmily fur their donation too. And to Miss Jackie, Jinx and Jasper a fank ta’ also. Mommys eye leaked, ow eyes leaked and weez all sent yous all a big hug. Me will say dat Dr. C didn’t tell us everyfin’ ‘bout this medicine. Actually hims didn’t tell us much, ‘cept dat sissy had to hav it 2 times a day and hims didn’t care how mommy had to get it in hers, just to get it in her. She did gweat da udder night. You all heard her slurpin’. But yesfurday, hers fwu up hers bwekky wight after eatin’, which means she also fwu up da medicine. Then she wuldn’t eat hers dinner. So dat only left one option…da pill push. Mommy did sum readin’ and this medicine is posed to bweak down in da tummy so it’s not weally posed to be mixed wiff hers noms anywways. Sumtimes even a good Vet has hims downfalls.
Me luvs to go stwollin’.
In udder news, it’s time to vote fur da Nose to Nose awards fur da blogospere. Weez wuld sure luv to win one. We even hav a ticket to BlogPaws. Now all weez gotta do is figger out how to get there and where to stay. Nuffin’ much, wight?

Thank you Lexi, I had a great time spending the day with you. And I’m sorry Dr. C stuck you with a needle, but we needed to know how to help you. Dr. C said that Lexi’s urine isn’t being concentrated enough because the liver is getting old and giving out. And that she has early stage Renal disease. He said that for now we would treat it with a supplement called Azodyl given twice a day. This is suppose to help take the pressure off the liver and process some of the toxins that her liver can’t. He didn’t do a blood test at this time because he felt it wasn’t needed since their was no sugar in her urine and diabetes had been the course of thought until now. And the tests he did perform on the urine were pretty extensive. He wants her on the Azodyl for a week and if she improves we’ll do nothing further as far as testing at this time. If she doesn’t improve, then we’ll have to go back and run more tests to determine what else might be the problem. As for her diagnosis, I would have preferred cantankerous old gal, but we believe in God and prayer, so we will ask you for your continued prayers. Lexi and Dezi are my world, and for the last almost 16 years I’ve done very little without Lexi. She is still so full of life and love, and has so much more to share with the world and with me. Thank you for all your support. This Azodyl is not cheap, and if it works, will be a forever thing. So we have put a donate button on our sidebar. As we can’t use HTML code, it only links to PayPal. You still have to enter our email address to donate. And if you choose friends and family, there is no fee charged to you for a transfer. I would very much like to thank the girls “awnty Ann” who paid todays entire bill.
mommy painted over ow address.
