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.

Peace Is Returning

Hey, is anypawdy there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Well, what a week we’ve had. Mines tummy’s been sore and mines balance was a little off at da beginnin’ of da week. And then there was sis Dezi. She wouldn’t come near me at all. And every time I tried to give her a nose bump or even walk by her she would hiss and growl at me. A lot of ya’ ‘splained dat basically I’s stank and dat’s why sissy didn’t like me. I asked mommy to give me some of her purrfume so I could smell purretty like sissy and maybe then she would like me again.

       Raena, mommy told you it wasn’t just your smell and dat you didn’t actually stink. You just didn’t smell like da Raena me had learned to luv and accept. And trust me, no amount of mommy’s smell good purrfume was gonna mask dat.

 Raena laying on the floor

Well, ifin I’s didn’t stink then how come you were still bein’ mean to me a couple days later after mommys scent was all over me?

       (Dezi says under her breath and grins) Cuz me could. (Looks up and talks to Raena) Well Raena, mommy allows fur stinkerness after certain events without withholdin’ treats, so me was just takin’ advantage of every second of dat rule.

Is dat why you’re not hissin’ at me as much anymore?

 Dezi and Raena laying on the Liberty Cat Tree

       Yeah, mommy’s run outta patience and said we better get along or else. And besides it takes a lot of energy to do all dat hissin’ and growlin’. Me even missed a nap or two.

Well sissy, I’s glad we’re furiends again. Wanna play with our silvervine sticks? 

       Dat sounds like fun Raena. You know a couple peeps asked ‘bout where we found our sticks of da vine. As most everypawdy knows we don’t have much money, so mommy searched da innernet far and wide and found them on ebay fur less than a dollar and free shippin’ all da way from China. All ya’ gotta do is put silvervine sticks in da search bar and voila’ you’re on your way to vine bliss. Speakin’ of, me needs to find me’s stick. Befur we go, we’re gonna join with Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade.

Don’t furget to tell everypawdy dat mommy’s gonna be busy gettin’ together our entry fur a pawsum contest today. We’ll tell you all ‘bout da contest next week. And mommy’s also gotta go get a flu shot this afternoon. Maybe I’ll get to go with her. So we’ll be by to visit as soon as we can. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Baubles, Knick Knacks and Toys

Published on by Service Cats U.S.44 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy, it’s already Wednesday. Y, Just da other day somepawdy was talkin’ ‘bout Christmas decorations. Dat could be very interestin’ ‘round here this year. Mommy’s never had a kitty play with da tree or da baubles on da tree. But she has a feelin’ Raena just might be dat kitty. Let me tell ya’ da girl’s into everything.

 Dezi and Raena on cat tree

       Sissy? What’s a tree bauble? 

 

 

Well Raena, they’re balls, or other purretty glass knick knacks dat hang from da branches of a Christmas tree.

 

 Raena sits on small perch and bathes

       A whole tree of danglin’ toys? Really? I’s can’t wait till Christmas Dezi. (continues her morning bath while thinking about tree baubles)

 

 

No Raena, they’re not toys any more than mommy’s other knick knacks are toys. 

 

 

       Well ifin they’re not toys, then what’s da point of ‘em danglin’ there and temptin’ us? 

 Dezi on the cat tree looking down

Me doesn’t know Raena, we’ll have to ask mommy ‘bout dat. Me just knows dat we’re not ‘posed to play with them. Anyways, we’ve gotta wrap it up. It’s almost time fur da inspection. Da exterminator’s also ‘posed to be here and mommy doesn’t want us anywhere near da kitchen till she can clean up da mess he leaves behind. Mommy said it’s a good thing we don’t have bugs and dat she sprays fur herself cuz da exterminators soakin’ of da walls, fridge, oven, cabinet doors and middle of da floor doesn’t kill anythin’ but us and mommy. And while we may like water, there’s nuffin’ worse than bein’ snatched up and thrown into a bath cuz you happened to walk thru all dat poison. Mommys’ arms are wavin’ ’round in da air and she’s hollerin’ “danger danger, poison, poison,” and purrayin’ we didn’t get it in our mouth or dat it hasn’t soaked into our skin. Me knows all ‘bout dat from furst hand experience. We hope you all have a pawsum day.

Monday Updates

Published on by Service Cats U.S.33 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy. Me knows it’s Service Cat Monday and you’re all expectin’ to learn ‘bout kitty dialin’ 911 trainin’. But, as you know mommy had her regular monthly doctors pointment last Furiday. These ‘pointments are to monitor her medications and get refills. She has medicine dat can’t be called in, she has to have a new purrscription every month. But when mommy arrived, there was a note on da door dat said da doctor wasn’t in and wouldn’t be back till Monday.

 Dezi sits

When they furinally unlocked da door and let mommy in, she asked why she wasn’t called and her ‘pointment wasn’t rescheduled. They said there were no ‘pointments dat day. Mommy made them look it up and lo’ and behold they said dat she had a ‘pointment in her records but it wasn’t in their books. What does dat even mean? They have a catputer, actually several. There aren’t any old fashioned ‘pointment books in da office. Each office girl has 2 catputers and da nurse and doctor have ipawds of some sort and then there’s everypawdy else in there. Mommy always has da girls at da front desk schedule her next ‘pointment befur she leaves each month and they give her a card with her ‘pointment day and time on it. Anyways, there was no doctor fur mommy to see. So she has to go in today.

 Raena walks with toy in mouth

And trust me, it’s been a very long weekend. Tween sis Raena’s post op needs and mes neediness and mommy’s increased pain we’re behind in everythin’ and mommy also has to get ready fur another ‘pawrtment inspection. So, we’ll be back next week with Service Cat Monday, and we’ll be ‘round to visit as soon as we can. We are still sendin’ purrayers to those affected by da recent storms. Unfurtunately this wasn’t da last one we’ll see. But God can keep us all. We’d purreciate your purrayers fur us and mommy as well. We’re gonna wrap it up fur now, we just wanted to update ya’ and let you know what’s goin’ on and where we are/have been. Here’s to a pawsumly wonderful day.

Blest Sunday Spay Day Update

Published on by Service Cats U.S.51 Comments

Meowllo and welcome to Blest Sunday. Me’s gonna let sis Raena tell ya’ll ‘bout her spa day yesfurday, but me wanted to fank you all fur da purrs and purrayers. They were needed and purreciated. Okay Raena, it’s all yours.

 Raena lays in mommys lap

       Fank you sissy. Is anypawdy out there? Sissy, Purrlease stop hissin’ at me.

Well, then stop touchin’ me.

   That’s enough girls. Dezi, be nice to your sisfur, she’s still a little under the weather. And Raena, be nicer to Dezi, she’s confused today like you were yesterday.

 Spay Clinic

 

Spay clinic

    

       Sorry mommy. Sorry sissy. Anyways, I’s gonna tell everypawdy a meowsy big fank you. I was a little touch and go at one point. But, I’s gettin’ ahead of mines self, so let me start at da beginnin’. We had to be at da shelter in Ardmore at 8:45 a.m.; so no sleepin’ fur mommy da night befur. And did you know dat mommy didn’t even let me have brekky? Seems ya’ can’t eat after midnight befur a surgery. And let me just say, you all dat luv spa days have got to be crazy ifin this is what ya’ll do. Anyways, no brekky fur me. I watched mommy fix up one plate and then I got ushered into da stroller while sis Dezi got da plate of food. Mommy and me said see ya’ to sissy and we was off. It was a long drive, but da car was comfy and cool so I didn’t mind. After all, I was with mommy and on mines way to a “spa day”. When we arrived mommy took me outta da stroller and put me in da Samsonite. Now I started wonderin’ just what kind of “spa day” this was. When we went in, all da peeps made over mines beauty and gawjus eyes. Just repeatin’ what they said. Anyways, mommy filled out some paperwork and they put some pink bracelet ‘round mines neck. Mommy gave another lady some green papers and we went to a table to sit down. They said I was 24. Not sure what dat was, but da numbers went up to 60 fur da day. Mommy said dat’s pawsum, and they had almost as many numbers fur today.

 Raena waiting for her spay surgery

       Anyways, mommy got a coke and a donut and sat and ate right in front of me. Hmmph I know mommy likes donuts, but I’s didn’t get any brekky. There was lots of peeps millin’ ‘round and lots more kitties came in. Then some doggies started filin’ in. Now let me tell you, those things sure did get noisy. One of them was so loud everypawdy was hollerin’ at him. Ifin I had known what was ‘bout to happen, I’s might have joined him. Anyways, mommy luvved on me a bit and took a couple of fotos and then suddenly a man came and put me on a big cart with these other kitties. Mommy purrayed over me and da other kitties and I was wheeled off to a trailer outside. I got a little scared, but all of a sudden, I saw mommy and then I drifted off to sleep.

 Mommy A waking Raena after her spay surgery

 Mommy says not to pay ‘tention to her, she didn’t have on her

makeup. She did attempt some in da foto editor tho’, and fur sure

used da wrinkle remover.

 

 

         Da next thing I’s ‘member is bein’ so cold. I could barely hear mommy. I knew she was there, I could feel her arms ‘round me, but mines eyes couldn’t focus and I just couldn’t wake up. It was sooooooo cold and It took so much energy to breathe. Mines heart seemed to be missin’ a few beats here and there. I could barely hear it, but I knew mommy was purrayin’. Furinally mommy kissed me and I heard her clear as day. She said, she luvved me and she would never leave me. And she hadn’t. Mommy had kept her purromise and she never left mines side. It was like mommy was breathin’ fur me and her heart was beatin’ fur mines. Da warmth started comin’ back to mines body and I was able to pull mines tongue back in mines mouth. When I could hold mines head up a bit mommy had da nice lady next to her look after me fur a minute and mommy opened up da stroller and put me in it. I was a lot bit wobbly and confused, but again, da peeps were all makin’ over me. I could hear lots of peeps callin’ mines name. One of them even wanted to take me home with her. Yeah, dat’s never gonna happen. I’s not ever wanna be anywhere without mommy. Mommy got to eat a little lunch and we were off. Mommy purromissed special treats, so we went to da Wallyworld. And then we were on our way home.

 Raena in stroller after spay

       When we got home and I furinally got outta da stroller, mines legs didn’t work so good. And everythin’ seemed to be closin’ in on me. Mines heart was racin’ and I didn’t know what to do. I cried and cried. I wanted up in mommy’s lap one minute and down da next. Mommy wouldn’t let me jump anywhere. ‘Course, dat might have been a good thing. I couldn’t quite focus on da tree, or anythin’ else fur dat matter. I was pacin’ from one room to da next. And I couldn’t get enuff mommy luvvin’ I would rub her legs, arms, hands anythin’ she would let me near. Until suddenly, I’s just attacked her. I don’t know why I did it. All I wanted was to luv mommy and yet all I could do was bite her and jump at her. Mommy got out one of those toys she put back da other day and gave it to me. Fank catness, I quit attackin’ mommy and started carryin’ dat toy ‘round while I paced da floors.

 Raena carrying her new nip toy

       As da night went on mommy noticed dat I would get in da pawdee box and pace ‘round and squat, then get in da other box and do da same thing, but never left a depawsit. You all know by now what a worrier mommy is, and dat’s ‘zactly what she did, worried. You also know dat we believe in purrayers too, so mommy began to purray. All da while, I just wanted to be as close to mommy as I could get. Y, I even jumped up on da human potty rim while mommy was availin’ herself. she said she didn’t know how I did it or where there was room, but there I was. And no, there’s no foto purroof. Seems it’s okay to take fotos of us peein’ but not mommies. I just couldn’t seem to settle down last night, but mommy was so tired, she furinally had to turn in. Sis Dezi sure wasn’t purrleased with me, but mommy says it won’t last. I sure hope she gets over it soon.

 Raena plays

       Anyways, I furinally went to da pawdee box and left a huge depawsit this meownin’. Mommy was so happy, she almost danced. And let me tell ya’ dat’s a feat since she can’t even walk in da meownings. I’s eatin’ good and drinkin’ purrlenty and back to scalin’ da tree and anythin’ else I want today. So fank you all fur your purrs and purrayers. Mommy says I’s gonna be a real sensitive kitty and dat hopefully I won’t ever need to be put under anesthesia again. So there ya’ have it, dat “spa day” was really a spay day. Seems da doctor took away somethin’ inside me and now I will never have babies. But dat’s not a bad thing. It also means mines risk of certain cancers are decreased and dat I shouldn’t develop bad behaviors. I do have some stitches and somepawdy knicked a couple of mines teets and they’re kinda sore, but I’s gettin’ back to normal. Hopefully sis Dezi and me will start gettin’ along again soon. I don’t understand why she doesn’t like me, but she sure is mad at me right now. Ifin ya’ don’t mind, we could use some extra get along purrayers.

 Dezi and Raena on cat tree

Yeah we could at dat. We need to wrap it up fur now. We’re also joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Me might not be so fond of Raena right now, but me is grateful she made it thru and is back home. We’re so fankful fur those who helped make her spay day pawssible with green papers, and all your purrs and purrayers. We are so blest to have you all in our lives. ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your lives. And we hope you all have a wonderful day.

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