I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.

Chatting Cats: Lap Hogs and Forgetfulness

Published on by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. And it’s Furiday!!! I’s don’t know why we’re so x’cited ‘bout that, but we are. To me, it just seems like any other day.

 

 Dezi and Raena laying atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

          Fur us Raena, it is like any other day. But humans have been celebratin’ the arrival of Furiday fur a long time. It used to mean the weekend was here and peeps didn’t have to work fur a couple of days. Now we live in a 24/7 world so peeps might be off work in the middle of the week ‘stead of the weekend. Still, we get x’cited fur Furiday.

 

Oh, okay. Whatever. Hey, did you hear mommy say that Ms. A was comin’ over today? 

 

 Dezi wearing home made garrison cap

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me did. When we made me’s hat fur summer camp, we broke the needle on the sewin’ machine. Seems mommy can’t hardly see it to replace it, so Ms. A’s gonna come help her. Mommy hand’t been that worried ‘bout it since we don’t actually have any material fur her to sew. But, when she was over there takin’ somethin’ to Nubs, they got to talkin’ ‘bout sewin’ and, well, the rest as they say is history. Me’s just happy to see mr. Sunshine again. 

 

 Raena looks out door from the small perch

 

 

 

Oooooh Me too, sissy. Me too. It had been so yucky and drab lookin’ fur ever. I’s thought mr. Sunshine packed up his bags like ms. Fall. I’s was thinkin’ old man Winter must be really inhospitable.

 

          Well Raena, you can keep right on thinkin’ that, cuz he is. Me can’t believe you can’t ‘member last winter?. You weren’t that young.

 

Maybe I’s have mommy’s furgetful disease, sissy.

 

          Oh Purrlease Raena. That ain’t no disease, that’s old age. And, well, purroblems left over from her accident. Me thinks your purroblem has more to do with your care furee catitude. You don’t care ‘bout anythin’ so long as you can lay in mommy’s lap. You’re such a lap hog. 

 

 Raena lays in mommys lap for loving

 

 

 

I’s luvs mommy sissy and I’s luvs layin’ in her lap. It’s the bestest seat in the house. (Feeling that Dezi may want to sit in mommy’s lap, Raena jumps up first and makes herself comfortable)

 

 

          Me knows Raena. And me would like to sit in it ever once in a while too. You know, mommy’s lap belonged to me furst. And, it iiiiis me’s birthday month, ya’ know.

 

 Raena lays in mommys lap and bathes

 

 

 

Purrrrrrrrrlease, what does that have to do with anythin’? (Raena meows from mommy’s lap) 

 

 

 Dezi lays in mommys lap for loving

 

 

 

          (Dezi paws at mommy’s leg from the floor and whaps Raena who’s bathing and oblivious to Dezi’s plight) C’mon Raena, it’s me’s birthday month and that means me gets more special luvvin’ this whole month. More specials than you even. Now Meow-ve!!! 

 

 

 Raena lays on back of chair

 

 

 

(Raena jumps to the back of the chair and looks down at Dezi who mommy has picked up and put in her lap) Okay sissy, it can be your turn now. You know I’s luvs you too. How ‘bout we play later. Maybe, I’s’ll even let mommy take you fur a stroll furst ifin mr. Sunshine sticks ‘round.

Hey, some of ya’ asked ’bout that cutesy tunnel toy with the track I’s was playin’ with in our last posty. We got it at Wally World the day I’s had to get mine’s rabies shot. It had been returned cuz pawrt of it was broken, so they had it on clearance fur $2.00. Mommy was able to add some tape and poke a few extra holes in the tunnel to make it work fur us. We don’t ‘member what it was called, nor do we know how much it actually costs.

Chatting Cats: Where Did All This Cold Come From

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s can’t believe the week we’re havin’. And OMC It turned cold, cold, cold here over night.

 

Dezi and Raena sit on shower benches in bathroom

          Raena, ya’ need to s’plain what happened on Monday. You know, with our Service Cat Monday posty?. 

 

 Raena lays on a box

 

 

 

What’s that sissy? Why me? Ya’ make it sound like it was mine’s fault. I’s didn’t do anythin’ wrong. I’s didn’t make the innernets be sketchy, or the storms to roll thru, or all the letters and calls that came fur mommy with upsettin’ mews. And I’s fur sure didn’t schedule mommy’s doctors ‘pointment to be right in the middle of it all. 

 

 Dezi stretches on the scratching post

 

 

 

          Me never meowed it was your fault Raena, me just meant that you should let everypawdy know that we’re okay and sorry we missed Service Cat Monday. But, never fear, we’ll be back on schedule next week. Well, lessen the innernet’s ghosties appear again.  

 

Oh, okay sissy. Sorry, I’s just thought… 

 

          That’s what ya’ get fur thinkin’. MOL 

 

Sissy!!! I’s gonna tell mommy that you’re bein’ mean to me.

 

          Oh purrrrrrrlease. It’s not bein’ mean ifin it’s the truth. Anyways……

 

 Raena lays beside scratcher

 

 

 

(Raena looks around a bit confused) Somehow, I’s still think that’s not nice. But fur now, I’s’ll let it go. I’s gotta tell ya’ sissy, I’s not really likin’ all this cold weather we’re havin’. Mr. Sunshine hasn’t been out fur days. I’s thought it was Fall? Ya’ know cooler days fur strollin’? But Nooooooo, we went from Summer to Winter overnight. Altho’, I’s do like the appearance of the ‘lectric blanky. Snugglin’ with mommy the last couple of nights has been really toasty. Well, once you quit meowmblin’ that is. What’s up with that anyways.

 

 Dezi looks down from atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          What? You kept jumpin’ on me. Mommy told you it was late and time to go to bed. You know play time’s over when mommy takes us to bed. We’ve done the same thing every night since you came to live here. 

 

Maybe I’s wasn’t ready to go to bed, sissy. Maybe, I’s wasn’t sleepy yet. Maybe the colds have given me more energy. Maybe, you just looked to temptin’ not to jump on.

 

          Well, temptin’ or not, sleepy or not, you know the rules. You know mommy can’t sleep without us layin’ beside her. And besides, that ‘lectric blanky sure makes fur nice cuddlin’. As fur all that energy, me’s kind’a feelin’ it too. But me did hope fur a few more days of strollin’ weather befur it got so cold.

 

 Raena lays on the back of the chair

 

 

 

I’s purromiss I’s’ll do better tonight sissy. Meowin’ of sleepin’ and ‘lectric blankies, I’s thinkin’ a little nap just might be what the doctor ordered as mommy would say.

 

          That does sound like a good idea Raena. (Dezi sees the manager coming up the walk) HiSSSssssssss  Me’s thinkin’ we oughtta go nap right now Raena. Looks like more bad mews is on it’s way to the door now. 

 

Dezi lays in the chair with Raena on the back

I’s right behind ya’ sissy. Weather purrmittin’, we’ll be ’round to visit as soon as we can. I’s just wanna remind everypawdy there’s still time to get in on their chance fur that Chewy Goody box we’re givin’ away. Just click here.

Blest Sunday: Blessings Love and Peace

Published on by Service Cats U.S.50 Comments

MeOW Raena, c’mon, it’s time to write our Blest Sunday posty. You know we have lots of blessings to meow ‘bout this week.

          I’s sure do, sissy. I’s started off this past week not feelin’ so good. I’s sure was a hungry kitty girl, but I’s just couldn’t keep any of mine’s foods down. That’s a purretty miserable place to be. ‘Specially when I’s already needed to gain a few pounds. I’s quickly lost those 2 pounds I’s had gained and then some. Mommy’s eyes were so filled with tears, she could barely see. But, fanky fankfully, our furiends started purrayin’ and God showed up and calmed mine’s tummy. I’s ate 3 helpings last night and asked fur a few treats. Mommy’s eyes were still filled with tears, but, she said those ones were the joybell tears. I’s’ll never unnerstand the difference t’ween human tears; but, I’s really glad that mommy’s happy now. I’s still have a tad of the wheezy sneezies, but it seems I’s back to eatin’ like a champ again.

That you are Raena, that you are. Me’s glad you’re feelin’ better too. Trust me, you’ll never figger out those human tear things, so don’t even try. We don’t know why you had such a bad tummy upset Raena, but mommy thinks those wheezy sneezies just might be allergies. She’s wonderin’ ifin that might be the purroblem with your eyes too. They got all better after you got those eye drops, till the last couple of days durin’ your sicks.

 

 Raena lays inside tent track toy

 

 

 

          I’s thinkin’ mommy might be right, sissy. I’s heard mommy sayin’ that we might have to take a trip to the V E T as soon as we can. And, fanky fanks to uncle Pete, Timmy and furmily fur sendin’ some green papers to help with mine’s medical, that day might be sooner than later. Mommy’s just tryin’ to decide ifin she wants to put those green papers towards our bill so we can pay it off faster, or just see a new V E T. Decisions, decisions. I’s sure glad we don’t have to worry ‘bout those kinds of things sissy.

Me too Raena. We’ve got enuff to think ‘bout what with where to sleep, nap and what toy to play with. Anyways, as most everypawdy knows, we don’t blog on Caturdays anymore. And cuz of that, we missed the big Blog Fur Peace day. But, truth is, we think ‘bout and purray fur peace every day. We just don’t unnerstand why peeps would wanna kill each other over somethin’ as small as a disagreement. Ifin everypawdy thought the same way, what kind’a world would this be? Obviously, we luv God and believe He’s the one and only true God. And, we wish everypawdy believed it too. After all, we want all our furiends to be saved from their sins and spend eternity with us in heaven. But, we know that just isn’t gonna happen. None the less, we respect your right to believe somethin’ different without hatin’ ya’ and fur sure without killin’ ya’.

 

 Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

     True sissy. We luvs all our furiends so much and don’t want anythin’ bad to happen to any of you. We purray that God would bless each of you and your families. And, that He would send healing to those that are sick, comfurt to those in turmoil and purrvision to all. We purray fur peace on earth and good will to all. Fanky fank ya’ fur bein’ our furiends and luvvin’ us even when we disagree. Diversity makes fur innerestin’ conversations and causes us all to strive to be better than we are.

 

Dezi lays on floor

Sometimes you can be really smart Raena. We really do ‘purreciate all of you fur your differences and the things we have in common. We fank you all fur your purrayers and suppurrt and ask that you continue to keep Raena in your purrayers. We wouldn’t be the least offended ifin ya’ said one fur mommy and me too. As always, we wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives.

Chatting Cats: Prayers and Thank Yous

Published on by Service Cats U.S.31 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Ifin ya’ follow us on that facebook thingy then you already know, I’s been a little unner the weather lately. I’s a hungry girl to be sure, I’s just havin’ a little trouble keepin’ mine’s noms in mine’s tummy where they belong. Mommy fixes mine’s plate, I’s eat and then a few minutes later I’s horkin’ that stuff all over the place. Actually, mommy says I’s a really good girl cuz I’s only throw up a little on the tile wood floor. I’s save the biggest blah fur the litterbox. Altho’ it doesn’t seem to matter where I make mine’s depawsits, mommy still cries. Yesfurday I’s suddenly got the wheezy sneezies right alongside the horkin’. I’s really ‘purreciate all of ya’ fur sendin’ up some purrayers fur me. Since I’s just went to the V E T fur mine’s yearly visit, our credit is maxed out. I’s not know what that pawrt means, but the gist of it is that we can’t go see the doctor till mommy pays it off. So, purrayers it is. God’s better than that ole V E T anyways.

          You’re right ‘bout that Raena, God’s better at everythin’. And, me and mommy are purrayin’ hard. Me heard mommy sayin’, she hoped it was just a stubborn ole hairball, and that that hairball paste she forced down you would help. Me doesn’t know why you don’t like the malty (hairball paste)?. It tastes so yummy.

 

 Dezi licks butter/baby food spoon with medicine

Me luvs a good butter spoon (medicine).

 

 

It’s medicine, sissy?. We’re not s’posed to like medicine. Don’t you read how our furiends act when it’s medicine time? We make things way to easy fur mommy. I’s had to object to somethin’ just to keep her on her toes. 

 

 Dezi gets loving while laying on the arm of chair-selfie

 

 

 

          Just cuz everypawdy else does it doesn’t mean we’re s’posed too Raena. We’re s’posed to be good examples and happily take our medicine. Besides, malty ain’t medicine, it’s a nommy treat. Anyways, Me’s wanted to fank everypawdy fur the birthday wishes. Me’s birthday month has started off with a bang. Me got lots of extra luvvin’, a relaxin’ groomin’ session and some treats from the Chewy Goody Box and Birthday box. What more could a girly ask fur? The bestest gift me ever got is a luvvin’ home with mommy. Me’s even grateful fur you. 

 

Fanky fank ya’ sissy. I’s grateful fur you and mommy too.
