Published on by Service Cats U.S.35 Comments

Meollo evewypawdy and happy Caturday to ya’. As you know, cuz me told ya’, meez at Cat Scouts hostin’ a day of fun, games and dancin’ and of course eatin’. We scouts do know how to have a good time. Anyways, mommy wuz asked to do a weview, so it works out purrfectly. And cuz this purroduct be sumfin’ wiff many uses includin’ sum all you pet luvvers wuld be innewested in, mommy’s gunna tell ya’ all ‘bout it. Me will see you all fur blest Sunday. Here’s mommy…    Thank you Dezi, have fun.

I’m going to talk to you all today about peppermint oil. I mean the essential oil and not the flavoring. As with any essential oil DO NOT apply on your pets skin or allow them to drink it. An if they get into by accident, see you vet immediately. Now I know what you’re asking yourself. If it’s so dangerous for our furries why then are we writing about it and suggesting it’s use? The answer is, because it’s natural and has a lot of beneficial uses. And if you know to keep it away from your pets you can do so and still benefit. So when we were asked to review Peppermint Oil for Go Pure Naturals skin care, we jumped at the chance. I’ve been using essential oils since my accident. They can be very beneficial.

We received a 4 ounce bottle of 100% Pure, Therapeutic Grade A cold-pressed Mentha Piperita/essentail Peppermint Oil. It arrived in only a few days in an amber glass bottle with a dropper attachment included. And it smelled divine. I personally love the crisp fresh scent of peppermint oil. I first learned of peppermint oil when I was 12 years old and singing in a competition. I had lost my voice right before the finals and thought I was going to have to drop out. I was also entered in the duet category and my duet partner knew a trick that would deaden my throat and give me back my voice. That little trick included a few drops of peppermint oil in the back of my throat. I gotta tell ya’, it burned like the dickens, but I got my voice back and was able to compete and won. It was then that I went on a research spree for all the uses of peppermint oil. And OMC I found a ton of them. 

 dw PM oil20

Peppermint oil is one of the most used essential oils with a history dating back almost 3000 years. It has been used both externally and internally to treat a variety of physical and mental ailments as well as it’s common household uses. It has a high concentration of essential minerals like magnesium, potassium and calcium. A few drops in a glass of water can help with digestive disorders. It can also be rubbed on the chest or inhaled through a vaporizer to help with respiratory issues. It can be rubbed into the scalp to assist with getting rid of dandruff and lice. And used on the face to encourage cell regeneration and aid in getting rid of acne. 

 dw PM oil21

Now I’m going to tell on Lexi a little bit. Remember I raised her from 10 minutes old, so she didn’t really learn how to be an average cat so to speak. One time when she was much younger we had a little visitor from outside come into our apartment. Yes, we had a mouse. I’ll tell ya’ I hate mice. They terrify me. I know you think I’m silly, but that’s okay I don’t mind standing in the chair and screaming. MOL The thing is, Lexi joined me on that chair and she was meowing like crazy. Luckily for us her brother Lucky wasn’t afraid and he took care of that problem for us, but Lexi is not, nor has she ever been a mouser. So, peppermint oil to the rescue. Did you know that a little peppermint oil on a cotton ball placed in cabinets or closets will keep those little rodents away. You can also place it outside your home, especially if you live near a field. It also works on wasps, ants, spiders and more.

I wouldn’t be without a bottle of #PeppermintOil in the house. Go Pure Naturals offers the highest quality at a great price. Their customer service is wonderful. You can find their products and learn more about them at their website here, or on amazon.com here. You can also find them on Facebook. We do hope you find this useful. It’s something we use and have used for a very long time.

As Dezi would say, Till the next time………………..Be Blest!!!

Blood Stealin’…No Thieves Here

Published on by Service Cats U.S.24 Comments

Meowllo evewypawdy, da weekend’s finally here! Woohoo Yous askin’ yousselff why me be so ‘cited it’s da weekend since meez a cat and meez mommy be disabled and home wiff us all da time anyways, wight? You wuld be wight ‘bout boff those fings, but it seems eeven tho’ mommy dusn’t work anymowe hers still kinda wuns like she duz. She twies to put in hers 12 hours on da puter evewyday workin’ on meez bloggy and visitin’ wiff ow furiends, and facebook and all da udder stuffs we do. And now hers puttin’ in extwa time wesearchin’ fings ‘bout sis Lexi’s CKD/CRF. So when da weekend comes, she usually spends mowe time wiff us and less on da puter. It keeps us behind in ow visitin’, but she sez all this wuz stawted fur us, and ifin she dusn’t spend time wiff us, then all this wuz fur naught. So dat’s why meez so happy ‘bout it bein’ da weekend. And meez hostin’ a dance at Cat Scouts tomowwo. Yeah me be a little nervous cuz meez never dun this afur, but meez still ‘cited cuz it’s gunna be so much fun. Ifin yous been finkin’ ‘bout joinin’ up, no time like da purresent. Just click on da link (cat scouts) above.

As you all know weez now 7 weeks into sis Lexi’s diagnosis of early stage Renal Failure. Hers diagnosis wuz made wiff a simple urinalysis and altho’ mommy asked fur bloodwork to be dun, ow Vet found dat unnecessary. Dat did bodder mommy a bit, but she wuz so shocked by da diagnosis she kuldn’t weally fink very clearly and let it go. She came home and dug in and stawted wesearchin’. Evewy where she looked, blood work seemed very purrtant. Has sumfin’ to do wiff da nummews and all. So when mommy took Lexi in fur hers 6 week check up, she again asked fur a blood work up. Da Vet completely ignored mommy and sed she wuz duin’ what she needed to be duin’ and dat sissy looked gweat. Now mommy wuz fwustwated. We like ow Vet and we get a small discount which weally helps, but mommy feels she weally needs mowe infurmation to manage sissy’s illness. Specially when we heard fwum ow sweet furiend Brian dat Zoe had beat this pawful fing based on hers nummews. So mommy set out to learn how to make Lexi da next one to beat this pawfull disease. Turns out dat wuz easier sed then dun. 

 dw Lexi looks pretty3898fr

Don’t know what’s up wiff da Vets wound here, but getting’ one to do a CBC/Sr. Blood Panel wuz hawder than we evew spected. Evewy time we turn wound one of ow furiends is havin’ their blood stolen, but dat’s not sumfin’ kitties wound here have to deal wiff pawently. But yesfurday we finally found a vet dat wuld do just dat. Now we need to find da munny to pay fur it afur ow pointment on Monday. Da cost is gunna be $132.00. Dat wuld include da office visit, Full CBC and a new urinalysis. We kuld get by wiff $100.00 and skip da urinalysis, but mommy wuld like to get furesh tests as ifin it wuz da furst time so she wuld have a complete picture of where sissy be at. Mommy found dat there awe noms out there dat sissy will eat dat not be outwageously purriced. They awen’t purrscwiption, but mommy hasn’t had any kitty dat wuld eat those purrscwiption diets. As weez sed afur, it be da phosphowous content dat needs to be low, not da purrotien. Altho’ da purrotien needs to be fwum a “good” source. Ifin you can help wiff da Vet cost we wuld sure purreciate it. Ow PayPal addwess be on da PayPal link on ow sidebaw.

Here’s to wishin’ y’all a pawsum weekend full of sunshine and warm wedder. Weez got sum wain in ow furcast, but weez holdin’ out hope dat da sun peeks fwu anyways.

Cat or Dog Lover…Controversy Unleashed

Published on by Service Cats U.S.48 Comments

Meowllo and a happy Wednesday to ya’. Hav you evew wunnewed ‘bout da age old question “Are Dog peeps diffewent than Cat peeps?” And ifin so, what awe those diffewences? Well we set out to figger it out. And OMC is there a ton of infurmation on this topic. But there duz seem to be a consensus on a foo fings. And da biggest is dat there weally awe sum diffewences tween da two.

 dw D n L dove Love tiled

One of da biggest diffewences is dat Dog peeps obey da wules much better than cat peeps. Cat peeps don’t confurm to da nowm as well. Guess dat means ya’ fink outta da box a bit mowe. We know mommy sure duz. MOL Doggy peeps awe mowe extwoverted than da kitty peeps. Stands to weason they be duin’ all dat walkin’ and hangin’ in da dog pawks, while da kitty peeps be hangin’ at home wiff a cat in their lap.

dog-vector

And da most controversial question is: Hoo be smawter? Well fur what it’s worff, in a study of 600 students; da kitty peeps scowed higher on IQ tests than da doggy peeps did. But doggy peeps be mowe twustin’ and lively. Where da kitty lovers be mowe weserved. Although kitty peeps do tend to be a bit mowe open minded and acceptin’ of diffewences and change. Dog peeps awe genewally mowe outgoin’ than kitty peeps. Seems da kitty peeps be kind of stand offish as peeps say ‘bout us cats. Altho’ weez not fink we be stand offish at all.   

 dw Lexi playing3701

Now we fink this one is wight on da munny. Dog peeps like companionship but cat peeps seek affection. Cat lovers tend to be mowe sensitive than dog lovers. And tend to purrfur solitude as opposed to crowds. And it seems dat dog peeps be a little mowe dominant than kitty peeps. Hmmmm Maybe kitty peeps awe sneakier and get their way by manipulation. MOL And it seems this same study found dat doggies wuz da most pawpulaw pet. In udder words mowe peeps in this study claimed to purrfur dogs to cats by 60% to 11%. Da udder 29% claimed to eevew like boff or neevew. Neevew, can you magine sumpawdy not likin’ a kitty or a doggy?

 dw Dezi plays-blurrysm

Anyways, it’s just a study. Altho’ sum of it seems to be twu and udders awe twu based on many studies. Da weal twuff is, there’s no absolute in da diffewencess in Cat Lovers and Dog Lovers. There awe no doubt diffewences and these awe most likely to hold twu, but we also don’t fink there will evew be a definitive test dat will give us all da answers. After all this is mostly peeps opinions ’bout themselves. And opinions vawy so widely there can’t be an absolute. Now, me duz hav kitty and doggy peeps as furiends. So tell me, what do yous fink? Duz yous purrsunality fall into da category of yous furry of choice?  

Till da next time…………………..Be Blest!!!
