You know we luv our Chewy and we just got our auto-delivery fwum them a kupple days ago, so we have a gweat box fur boxin’ day. And we got our review box fur da mumff too. Yep 2 boxes at one time. You know how much us kitties luv boxes. Anyways weez gunna be tellin’ ya’ ‘bout da Nutro Perfect Portions today. Nutro be pawt of da Mars Pet Furmily. We met a lot of da Mars peeps at BlogPaws and got sum samples too. Mommy even got a teeshirt. These Perfect Portions meals are da size of one of da small cans they just be divided into separate containers so dat yous not have to put any in da fwidge ifin yous kitty not be able to eat da whole 3 ounces at one time. You can give one Perfect Portion and when kitty finishes and wants more you can give da udder half and it’s still furesh cuz it’s never been opened.

Come on mommy, open it up and letz see what weez got.

This is weally nice fur sissy wight now cuz hers been eatin’ gweat since BlogPaws, but it takes her a little longer to eat now. Sissy will eat ‘bout da whole 1.3 ounces and then take a bweak and get a dwink of water or go to da pawdee box and take a 30 minute nap and then she’s back wantin’ more. Course this makes mommy and me happy campers (weez not campin’ so don’t know why we say dat, but…) and mommy gladly gives hers more. So, what about these Nutro Perfect Portions? Duz sissy like ‘em? Duz me like ‘em? And is mommy happy wiff ‘em? And just what be in ‘em? Those awe all da fings yous wantin’ to know huh?

Notice there be NO carageenan. You hoomans awe weally concerned ‘bout dat and so is mommy, so we was weally glad to see it had been excluded. And mommy likes dat da top ingwedients awe da meats. Dat means most of what’s in there be meat fur hers little carnivores. So mommy’s purretty happy wiff ‘em, and dat means dat kitty might not be. You know da ole it’s good fur ya’ so we don’t want it fing? So fingers cwossed mommy gave us each our own side of da Perfect Portion and stood back. Was this gunna be a winner or not.

 dw4318Nutro

Yep, sissy went to town and ate all hers side and wanted more. WooHoo All paws up fwum Lexi and a happy mommy. Next was to see how me liked it. Well me went in to smell da blob on meez plate and…me walked away. Me dusn’t weally like da pate’s so mommy wasn’t like shocked dat me didn’t wanna eat it, but she had hoped me wuld at least twy it. So she doctored it a bit wiff sum nip and…No joy, me walked away again. So paws down fwum me. But mommy sez dat’s okay havin’ sumfin’ good fur Lexi dat she will eat and enjoy is enuff to counter meez down paws. Now what about dat guaranteed analysis? Is it good fur sissy to eat wiff hers CKD?

Well da phosphorous not be listed on da chewy website or da Nutro web site, so mommy picked up da fone and gave ’em a call. She spoke wiff a very nice and knowledgeable Michael and he was more than happy to answer any of mommys questions. Hims did sum calculatin’ and gave mommy da DMA (dry matter analysis) of all da Perfect Portions meals. And da turkey we had has a DMA phosphorous of 14.5% or .65. So dat’s better than good fur sissy.

Lexi and Dezi

 

Two service cats are we

Called Lexi and Deztinee

We did our very best

We passed the hard test

Things that we can do

Will surely amaze you

Dezi immediately detects

Low sugar and other effects

When she dances on her toes

Then Mummy surely knows

That down she really must sit

For kitty’s certain she’s not fit

Mummy is never to be left alone

And if she can’t reach the phone

We know how to answer the call

It’s not a problem for us at all

We’re able to bring her the chair

Driving it with extreme care

By holding on to the joystick

The chair moves nippity quick

In the case of dire emergency

911 is dialed by my sister, Dezi

Mummy always makes a fuss

Cuddles and belly rubs over us

Each one of us a rescued cat

We can never fully repay that

But Dezi and I will always try

Never to let our mummy cry

Because she is the best mummy

there could ever, ever, ever be

This comes with all our love

From Dezi and Lexi (that’s me)

Could You Love Me Furever?

Well it’s June alweady. And do you know what dat means? Yeah it duz mean warmer wedder and cook outs and vacation time, but it also means kitten season is in purrime swing. Shelters and rescues everywhere awe filled to da bwim wiff adowable cuddly kitties and cats. And all they be wantin’ is a warm place to call home, full bellies and luv. And in return they will offer you unconditional luv and adowation. Affection, purrs and a fluffy lap blanky. It’s also Adopt a Shelter Cat Mumff. We know yous alweady seen lots of our baby fotos, but mommy kuldn’t wesist just 1.

 0dw Dezi baby in a basket

dw Lexi in box

 As you all know sis Lexi and me be rescues. Mommy saved us boff fwum certain death. And as most of you also know neever of us had to spend any time in a shelter or a cage, so we don’t know what dat be like. But we can magine and know dat we wuldn’t like it. Ifin yous missed da stowries of our beginnings, you can read them in mommys Luv letters to us, here and here. There’s lots of reasons fur a kitty to be at da shelter. Sum awe there cuz they were picked up off da stweets as stways. And sum of them be there cuz there hoomans didn’t want them anymore. We weally can’t unnewstand how a furmily kuld take their furry to a place dat’s gunna lock ‘em in a cage and maybe even kill ‘em. But it happens all da time. Sumtimes they report dat da kitty peed on da floor stead of da pawdee box, or maybe they suddenly developed an allergy. Or they be movin’ sumwhere dat dusn’t allow pets. Why wuld you do dat? Yous wuldn’t move off and leave yous two legged kids behind. And here’s one of our favowits, “ I’m pregnant and can’t clean the litterbox without getting Toxoplasmosis.” The last time mommy volunteered wiff da clinic she actually saw and heard a lady say dat wiff a stwaight face, Da liklihood of dat happenin’ is so low it isn’t even funny. But there she was and da poor kitty not knowin’ what be goun’ on at all. Anyways, Lexi and me know how lucky and blest we awe, and twy to fank mommy everyday. And we purray fur all da kitties dat not be as blest as us. We hope da day comes when there’s no longer a need fur shelters cuz all kitties have luvvin’ furever homes and be spayed or neutered.

 dw Lexi4064

So why shuld you adopt a kitty dat be in a shelter? Well don’t you wanna save a life? Cuz dat be zactly what you be duin’. And as we sed earlier you will be on da weceivin’ end of sum gwatefull purrs. and unconditional love. Lots of shelters be runnin’ specials wight now so you can pick up a kitty or two at a discount. Now you know you wanna. Mommy sez she never wants to know what life be like wiffout us. She sez we be so smawrt and purrfect and make life worff livin’. Now don’t you need a weason to get up in da meownin’s? Well a kitty can do dat fur ya’. And 2 kitties is even twice da weason. And ifin yous purrvide us wiff a scwatchin’ post we won’t even scwatch up yous furniture. Give us sum nip and weez’ll keep ya’ entertained. And a few toys, wegular VET checks, quality noms, and purrawmiss to luv us furever and weez’ll give you many years of companionship and comfurt. Weez’ll be there fur ya’ when you gwaduate, or bweak up wiff dat no good fur nuffin’ so and so, or get da gweat job purrmotion, or even ifin yous lose yous job. No matter what, weez’ll be there to luv you fwu it all. And weez’ll never judge ya’. And weez smawrt too. After all, mommy twained us to be Service cats. And weez be weally clean. We bathe ourselves just fine. Sum of us play fetch. Whatever yous lookin’ fur there be a kitty out there fur ya’.

There’s also a contest goin’ on wight now you might wanna check out. Click here to read all ’bout it.

All Good Things…

Well let me see where me left off da udder day. Oh yeah, sissy had eaten 2 packets of da new noms and we was in fur da night. Mommy cleaned up our dinner mess and crawled into da shower.. Yes of course sissy and me was wight there to help her when she needed it. Mommy kept lookin’ at da hooman pawdee box and finkin’ it looked pawfully small, but she didn’t fink much else till she twied to sit down and just kept on fallin’. OMC This was one of those teeny potties like they had put in our pawrtment after da flood. Later we found lots of peeps was talkin’ ‘bout da teeny hooman pawdee boxes. It never occurred to mommy to wequest a handicap room when makin’ da reservations cuz she knew she kuldn’t take hers wheelchair and beyond dat she didn’t fink. But mommy ‘cided we was in and unpacked and tired and so this was gunna be our room fur da duwation. So we all crawled into bed and Lexi chatted up mommy while givin’ hers a head massage. She was tellin’ mommy how happy she was to be there and how much fun we were gunna have. It was workin’ just like mommy had fawt it wuld. Da twip and bein’ away in a motel was puttin’ da pep wight back into Lexi. Happy Lexi, equals happy mommy and me.

Meez here mr. paparazzi eat yous heart out.

Da next meownin’ came way to soon fur mommy, but she got up anyways and got weady to go down and have bwekky and take hers furst class. Mommy and me headed down and OMC they was servin’ bacon. Yep, it was piled so high me kuldn’t see da bottom of da pan. After bwekky we went to our class and then back in to visit da exhibition hall again. Mommy told them all ‘bout how sissy ate such a good dinner and not just dat, but this meownin’ she ate 2 of thoes pouches again. So da pawsum peeps fwum Weruva loaded us up wiff noms and told us to check wiff ‘em later. And then mommy let me take a turn on da big Cat twee. Da paparazzi luvved me. We had lunch and then went up to da room to take a small bweak. And mommy left me behind and gwabbed sis Lexi and they went back down fur anudder class. Mommy did da switcharoo sevewal times dat day so Lexi and me boff kuld have a turn. Specially cuz everytime mommy wuld leave Lexi in da room, she wuld follow mommy to da door and wanna go. After da class mommy and Lexi went to da exhibition hall and they was tellin’ da cat peeps all ‘bout how we got to come to BlogPaws and ‘bout poor Brian getting’ sick and all and she told us to take a kupple extwa goodies fur them. Weez sendin’ ‘em a box today wiff a little BlogPaws swag. Anyways, mommy and Lexi came back up wiff Ms. Ava and flat Christy Paws and Miss Emily and Sophie joined ‘em.

 dw Dezi in tree5

Now comes da pawrt dat we pawently need to splain. See weez be Service cats. Dat means we be twained to help mommy purrfurm daily tasks to continue livin’ independently. We awen’t Celebwacats. Altho’ weez fur sure wanna be, so weez be workin’ on our hostessin’ abilities. As Service cats we can be very furiendly and outgoin’ while out on duty, ifin mommy sez it be okay; but home (or our room) is ours. Weez not used to havin’ company or entertainin’ in our space. So Lexi did gweat when she visited wiff Sophie and flat Christy. Me on da udder hand…well me just hung UTB lissenin’ to everyfin’ goin’ on. Our guest stayed a while and then went back downstairs fur anudder class. Mommy decided to stay in da room wiff us cuz we had an innewview later on dat night and we was gunna be meetin’ awnty Mary fwum Facebook. Furiday night was a furee night. Meanin’ there was no classes, dinners or anyfin’ else. Awnty Mary bwought mommy sum much needed cokes and went to da innewview wiff mommy and me afur leavin’. It was so nice to meet awnty Mary, and this time sis Lexi lissened in UTB. Alone again, we came out to play wiff mommy and have dinner. Again, sissy ate a pouch and a can of da noms. Mommy was so happy to see sissy eatin’ so well. And sissy was also jumpin’ fwum chair to chair to bed in our room. Yep, da twip was duin’ everyfin’ it kuld to make sissy feel better.

 

Caturday came too fast fur us. This had all been a whirlwind and we just didn’t want it to end. Now me told ya’ there was a couple doggies dat purrawllu shuldn’t have been there cuz they weren’t da bestest behaved. They had lunged and growled and bawked at me and Lexi fwuout da day on Furiday. So it came time fur mommy to get weady to go down to da dinner and she ‘cided to go by hers selff. There wasn’t a lot of room at those tables fur our stwoller. But just as she was sayin’ goodbye and headin’ out sis Lexi ran to da door and wanted to go. Mommy told her she had to go in da stwoller ifin she was to go, and picked Lexi up and put her in da stwoller. lexi purromptly jumped out and gwabbed hers leash and ran fur da door. Again mommy told her she had to be in da stwoller and this time sissy dwopped da leash and went unner da bed. Ifin she kuldn’t go da way she wanted, she just didn’t wanna go at all. MOL Anyways da twip was so much fun fur all of us. But we awe glad to be home.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

And speakin’ of home… We wasn’t home more than a kupple of hours and sis Lexi was jumpin’ all over da cat twee and askin’ fur tweats. Mommy was so ‘cited she stawrted diggin’ fwu da swag bag to get her sum. And she gwabbed da camera and snapped a few fotos as well as a small video. Hope yous enjoy it, weez fwilled Lexi feels so good. Now weez workin’ on a small give away, so bear wiff us and weez’ll post dat soon.
