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.

A Special Day in the Cat Blogospere

Published on by Service Cats U.S.13 Comments

Well Furiday is here and we’s all welkumin’ in da weekend. We was gunna take today off, but it’s another special day in da Cat Blogosphere so we kuldn’t let it go wiffout sayin’ a little sumfin’. You know when we got started in Blogville we knew absolutely nuffin’. We don’t member exactly how we furst found out ‘bout BlogPaws or da Cat Blogospere, but we found ‘em purretty early on. While BlogPaws is a community fur all pet bloggers and has things like conventions and such; da Cat Blogosphere is a smaller group of just us Cat bloggers.

Da Cat Blogosphere is a place where we can go and link up and see other cat bloggers posts as well. It’s a place dat lists all da special days we celebrate here in Blogville. And when there’s a birthday or blogoversary or even a death, you know you can count on it bein’ posted at da Cat Blogosphere. But hey, it’s not run by a machine. Sumpawdy has to be respawnsible fur puttin’ all dat infurmation together and postin’ it fur all of us to see. And let me tell you, it’s not an easy job. We only have our blog to keep up wiff and we get behind and furget things here all da time.

We thought we shuld give a little background ‘bout da Cat Blogosphere cuz altho’ we found it early on, we’s recently talked wiff more than a few kitty bloggers who didn’t know it was here. Paw on any Cat Blogosphere in red to go right on over and check it out fur yous self. Ifin you have any special days you want listed on da calendar, all you have to do is submit ‘em. You know like birthdays, gotchadays, blogoversaries and da like. And dat brings me back to da part ‘bout it not bein’ a machine. There’s a real live purrson who takes care of all those calendar listings and postin’ da daily link up.

Now mommy has been tryin’ to find us a sponsor among da companies whose purroducts we use. Part of dat purrocess is bein’ turned down, and we know a lot ‘bout rejection dat’s fur sure. So over da holidays mommy opened us up a Zazzle store. We had big hopes of makin’ da greenies, paper not treats; fur BlogPaws and even to pay da VET and buy noms. But alas, we haven’t even made enuff yet to buy a bag of treats. MOL  Course there’s a minimum you have to make afur they’ll even pay ya’ what yous made and we’s got a long way to go yet.

You know we can’t wait to sit around in da #Phoenix Courtyard sippin’ lemonade and lookin’ out at da #Mountains and deserts. Da sky seems so blue and da #Clouds so soft and pillowy we kuld just stay outdoors fur hours. We luv horses and kuld spend a leisurely afternoon watchin’ da #Horses drinkin’ from da #Water troughs and listenin’ to da wind blowin’ fru da leaves on da #Trees. We might even be able to find a good tree fur climbin’. MOL  Or maybe we kuld go ridin’ on one of those #Horses. Mommy luvs da desert and #Cactus, she grew up out West. #Cactus be so amazin’ how they can live in such hot and dry conditions by holdin’ in their water supply.

Published on by Service Cats U.S.35 Comments

Well it’s another miserable Monday and we’re all still here. We kinda went AWOL this weekend cuz sis Lexi wasn’t duin’ so good. Late last night she finally pulled out of it a bit and wanted to eat. We was so happy. Me dusn’t really unnerstand what’s goin’ on when sissy be havin’ a bad time so mommy not only has to take care of sissy, she also has to comfurt me. She duz a gweat job but it leaves her totally exhausted. Anyways back to sis Lexi’s eatin’.

logo.20130121chewy

As #ChewyInfluencer’s we received a gweat variety pack of Tiki Cat Gourmet Carnivore canned cat food this month free of charge in exchange fur our honest opinion. As ya’ know, free or not, we always tell it like it is. We’s only ever tried da chicken and duck so we were excited to get to try more flavors. We got a 12 pack of 2.8 ounce cans. Da chicken and duck we like so much was included along with beef, turkey and fishies includin’ tuna. Furst let me tell ya’ dat when you open a can of Tiki Cat, you wuld never know you be lookin’ at cat food. Inside each can is shredded, cut and/or sliced pieces of real meat in juices or a consommé and no stinky smell. Meat is da furst ingredient in every can and there’s no carrageenan. So since sissy hadn’t really eaten all weekend, mommy gave her a can of da Tiki Cat fur dinner last night. Me was purrpared to let her have me’s can too cuz me wanted her to get full and me had a can at breakfast.

dw-TikiCat2-166004 (640x497)

Now let me tell ya’ a little more ‘bout da Tiki Cat foods afur we get to da tastin’. All da foods we tried are grain and gluten free. Carbohydrate, starch and flour free as well. They are made with whole meats and be 55 % protein, 35 % fat and 0 % Carbs. Of course it contains da extra vitamins and minerals required to meet da nutritional needs of all cats and kittens. So on with da taste test. What did sis Lexi think ‘bout her dinner?

 

I luvved it Dezi. I really like da chicken and duck but I have also luvved every flavor we got in our variety pack. And it tazted even better lazt night when I waz soooooo hungry. So I give da Tiki Cat 4 pawz up. Did you like da one you had fur brekky?

 

Mmmmmmmm Thiz iz gooooood.
Mmmmmmmm Thiz iz gooooood.

Me sure did Lexi. Me also gives Tiki Cat 4 paws up. And mommy sed cuz of da gweat ingredients, and lack of da bad and controversial ones, she luvs it too. And she gives it 2 fumms up. And since we both like it and lick da plate clean me magines dat’s another reason mommy likes it. You can get your own Tiki Cat at Chewy.com fur $11.77 – $17.17.
