Mommy, me thought spring was here. Why is it so cold and stormin’ out?
Spring is here Dezi. But April in Oklahoma is windy, chilly and stormy. And we may still get a freeze before it’s all over.
A FUREEZE? But mommy, me wants da sun to come out so we can go fur a stroll.

I know baby. Trust me, we’ll take plenty of strolls when the weather warms up.

Okay mommy, thank you. Ya’ know a while back a couple of me’s new furiends asked why you needed Service kitties. Me told them we would write a posty ‘bout it and then lots of things happened dat we needed to write ‘bout and so we never got ‘round to ‘splainin’ anythin’ to them.
I know baby, maybe we can give them a little over view today.
Dat would be pawsum mommy. And then when me’s new sisfur and helper gets here they can read all ‘bout us trainin’ her. Me can’t wait to meet her.
Me either sweety. I sure hope she finds us soon.
Anyways, a long time ago now, you had car accident dat left you disabled, right?
That’s right.
You had lots of nerve and muscle damage; and cuz of it lots of times you don’t have any feelin’ in your extremities. And you have a blood clot on your brain dat makes you have migraines all da time.
Well sort of honey. The blood clot is just one of the reasons I have migraines.
Well, okay. Anyways, you have lots of pain and have to take medicines to control it. And when we go to sleep at night those medicines wear off and you get all stiff and stuck in pawsition; so you can’t move in da meownings. So dat’s why you need massages to get your body and muscles warmed up and movin’. And cuz you need to visit da pawdee box room when you wake up, you need me to drive your wheelchair so you can pull yourself onto da, well, you know. And ya’ never know when da pain or da pinched nerves or whatever is gonna cause you to pass out and go fallin’ to da ground. Me knows tho’ and you need me to tell ya’ so you don’t have to fall all da way to da floor.
I sure do baby. I really appreciate you letting me know. That floor sure is hard and an awful long way down. And for a migraine. there’s nothing in the world better than a purring kitty giving a massage. It’s so relaxing and helps so much.
Oh mommy me luvs givin’ you a massage. Me sometimes gets so happy me drools a little. But on with me’s duties. You also pass out in da shower a lot. Somethin’ to do with those nerve things, right? Anyways, a peep can drown in as little as 2 inches of water. So it’s really purrtant to keep your head outta da flow of da shower. And you’re not very graceful mommy. Lots of times you lose your balance and fall. Ifin you was to ever be hurt really bad and couldn’t get to da fone, you would need somepawdy to call da ambulance to help you. Even with a helper me can’t stop da bleedin’ or patch ya’ up.
Well baby you summed it up pretty good. Now why don’t we end with something positive today.






Great post ! Those who are new to your blog can better understand how important it is for you to have another service cat to help you to help your mom. Purrs

Oh, Dezi! What a lot of responsibility you have to carry on your furry shoulders! Your poor mommy! We hope you get a new brofur/sisfur/helpurr really, really soon.
About the massages – sometimes, when We think Mummy is staying in bed too late, We give her a shampoo and a scalp massage (well, Caspurr does, at any rate). Mummy says his raspy little tongue tickles. And we all like making biscuits (mol).
We are effur so honoured that you adopted Our Suggestion for your fishy’s name. Names are effur so impawtant. There’s a story behind each of Our Names. Maybe We will blog about it one day.
Hugs and purrs and kitty kissies to you and your Mommy.

You did a great job telling about why Mommy needs a service kitty. I like the name Dougie. I just lost a dear friend in December named Doug so I’ll think of him when I see your fish.
Please stay safe in those storms.
Love you and Mommy so very much precious Dezi. Hugs and kisses.

Dezi, you are one special kitty! You must love your mommy so much to do all that for her. The extent of my cats’ abilities is just making them biscuits. (Love the fish name, too. But I wonder what the Hebrew word for brekky, lunch or dinner is!)

I find it so amazing that you can do all those things for your Mom and so could Lexi and those before her. I don’t think any of my cats could be trained to do all that.Joanie and Sammy love to make muffins , Joanie gets on my lap several times a day to do that which is actually a little painful- sort of like acupuncture with her needles of claws. I think that is a great name for your fishie. XO
