Oh Meow, What a weekend. fire boomers all weekend long and funnew stowrms too. And fun at Cat Scouts and da Tabby Cat club too. Meez so tired. And yous know what? Me kulda been dehudwated too wiff all dat runnin’ wound out in da heat. But fankfully weez got furesh water available all da time. And not just any ole bowl of water eever, weez got a kitty fountain to dwink fwum. And yous know how much fun kitty fountains awe. Yous wunnewin’ why me be ramblin’ on ‘bout meez kitty fountain awen’t you? Well it’s cuz me wants to talk to you ‘bout sumfin’ weally purrtant today and dat’s Hydwation. Me told you earlier this mumff dat July be Pet Hydwation Awareness Mumff. And you all know how purrtant it be dat we all stay hydwated. Isn’t dat wight mommy?
Yes Dezi that’s right. 80% of your body is water. And as a kitty it’s not really in your nature to drink a lot of water. In the wild you would get a lot of water from the prey animals that you would eat.

Me knows dat’s what they say mommy, but me be weally glad me dusn’t have to hunt fur meez dinner and eat little mouseys.
Well sweety I’m glad you don’t have to hunt and eat little mice either. But that means you need to drink more water, and that’s not something a kitty readily does.
We do tho’, don’t we mommy? Lexi and me? We luv to dwink fwum our fountains.
Yes Dezi, you and your sister do like to drink from your fountains. But I remember a time beore we had a fountain, and you didn’t drink nearly enough water. You’re suppose to drink at least an ounce of water for every pound of body weight. And if you don’t, you’re in danger of becoming dehydrated. And that’s not good. Water is essential for your well being. It helps support your vital organ functions.
And it’s wespawnsible fur fings like digestion and waste wemoval too, wight?
That’s right honey. Do you know what causes dehydration Dezi?
Me duz mommy.. It happens when we don’t dwink enuff. Or when our fluid level dwops cuz of heat or dwy kibble. We animals sweat diffewently than hoomans do. Dogs pant and we kitties sweat fwu our paw pads. Duin’ this can deplete us of dat much needed hydwation purretty fast. So we need to weplenish. And one of da ways we can get da water our bodies need is to dwink more water. But a bowl of stagnant water isn’t weally appealin’, and altho’ sum doggis dwink outta da hooman pawdee box, dat’s not weally safe. Us anipals seem to kmow dat runnin’ water be furesh water and dat’s why Lexi and me like dwinkin’ fwum a fountain. so much.
And OMC Were we ever blest to have wecieved a pawsum Drinkwell Pagoda fountain fwum PetSafe. You can check out their udder pawsum purroducts by clickin’ on their name. And you can check ‘em out on twitter and facebook also. Our new fountain has 2 water falls to dwink fwum and two bowls too, an upper and larger bottom bowl. And it looks purretty. It comes in 4 diffewent colors to match or blend in wiff any décor. And it holds 70 ounces of furesh water dat it wecirculates over and over again. And it has not 1 but 2 filters to make da water even cleaner. It’s made of ceramic so it dusn’t cause dat feline acne. And they say it makes it easier to clean. Is it easier to clean mommy?
Oh yes Dezi, it sure is. I love how easy it is to clean. And that all the parts are in one place. And that there aren’t a billion little places to get all gunky and slimy. Yes Dezi, I like your new fountain as much as you and Lexi do. And the replacement filters are easy to find and not too expensive.
Dat’s pawsum mommy. How offen do yous have to clean it?
Well sweety it should be cleaned and filled with fresh water weekly, or as needed, but the filters only need to be changed once every 4 – 6 weeks.
So then it’s easy to maintain. You know what wulda been gweat mommy?
What’s that sweety?
Ifin Pet Safe Wulda let us give one of these pawsum fountains away to one of our amazin’ furiends.
Well Dezi dear guess what? They are. You can give away 1 Drinkwell Pagoda fountain in any of the 4 colors to one U. S. reader.

Meowllo everypawdy and happy Independence day. Let me just tell ya; dat weez didn’t get much visitin’ dun yesfurday cuz mommy never went to bed da night afur. And weez late today cuz she just nodded off last night writin’ meez posty and never woke up again till today. It was wiff good weason me must say. At 3a.m. Furiday meownin sis Lexi made a bloody depawsit in da pawdee box. And she weturned fur several more in no time at all. Based on mommy’s past speriences, she panicked cuz it means Lexi has a UTI. Well ifin yous member mommy has lost a kupple kitties to complications fwum UTI’s, so she be a mess. And in all meez time on this earff meez sissy hasn’t weally looked or acted sick till now. So me didn’t know what to do. Well when all else fails…do da zoomies. Me zoomed and mewed all over da house. wasn’t anypawdy getting’ any sleep dat;s fur sure. So yesfurday when mommy twied to do sum visitin’, hers just stawred at da scween. Well sort of. Actually she was kind of noddin’ off every few seconds and jerkin’ awake wiff all da funner boomers. Yep we was havin’ more rain. So very little puter time fur us. So weez gotta ask ya’ to purrlease purray fur sissy.
Now on to Independence day. All over America peeps awe celebwatin’ today wiff BBQ’s, fire boomers. booze and furiends. But weally it’s all ‘bout a little document called da Declaration of Independence. Da founding fathers of da U.S.A (then only 13 colonies) awthored and signed into law a document of listing certain inalienable wights and gawanteein’ fweedom fwum da tyranny of da Queen of England and all udder governments. They was establishin’ our government. Dat original document has been ammended a few times fwuout da years, but it still holds twu today. Peeps, wake up, don’t let this or any government take away da wights da founding fathers and God gave you and da blood of so many bought you. Happy Independence day to you all.
Meez gunna be at da Cat Scouts fur a while today and sissy and me will be at da Tabby Cat Club fur a bit also. Yous invited to join da celebwations goin’ on all over da blogosphere today.
Well da fire boomers got weally loud last night. Da garwage band and da fire boomers seemed to be in competition over who was gunna be loudest. Weez gunna call it a tie.
Datz da truff Dezi. Eeben I had too doo a liddull UTB akshun at wun poynt.
I’m sorry girls. I wish I could make them stop. I wish I controlled the world and could do away with all the things that scare you.
We know mommy. And we boff luv ya’ fur it. But we know you can’t do dat fur us any more than our furiends pawents can do it fur them. So me fawt me wuld talk a bit today on how to make this holiday better fur yous furry furmily members. Cuz altho’ most of us kitties get scared of da fire boomers, so do a lot of our doggy furiends. So let me say furst, KNOW yous fur baby. Come on, you know whedder they be fwaid of this nonsense or not. And ifin they awe, don’t force them to go wiff ya’ to see da fireworks show in da pawrk. It’s not fair to them or you; and nopawdy has a good time. So da furst fing you can do fur yous fur babies duwin’ all da celebwations is make them feel safe. Mommy closes da big door and it muffles da sound a bit. Ifin da fire boomers awe goin’ on wight outside, then maybe yous can put yous furry in a bedroom and close dat door. Member ifin yous shut them up in a room to purrvide furesh water so they don’t get dehydwated. Member this is Pet hydwation Awareness Mumff. Altho’ anytime is a bad time fur yous furry to be dehydwated, it sure wuld be a shame ifin it happened this mumff fur sure.
So yous closed yous furry in a room all their own fur their safety, what’s next? Purrvide them wiff sumfin’ they find comfurtin’. You know a favowit bed, or toy, or sumfin’ wiff yous scent on it. A shirt or pillow. Mommys scent is stwongest in da bed sheets so a lot of times dat’s where we hide. Have you ever looked fur yous kitty or doggy only to find them hanginn’ unner da covers of da bed? Weez be surrounded by yous scent and feel safe there. Be sure we have identification on our collars or awe microchipped. You never know, we might get so scared we jump fwu a window. or a BBQ guest might open da door to our sanctuary while lookin’ fur da pawdee box room, and in all da ‘citement, we might run out. Speakin’ of pawdee boxes, don’t furget to leave us one in our safe place. Just cuz weez scared dusn’t mean we stop needin’ to pee.
And all dat cutesy glow in da dawk jewelry…it’s poisonous. Not so much so dat weez gunna die (dependin’ on da amount), but it will make us sick and feel like weez wanna die. You know dat feelin’. Most adults have had it at least once in their lives. And even tho’ we may be beggin’ fur BBQ extwas, don’t give ‘em to us. And absolutely NO alcohol. Lighters and matches, used to ignite yous fire boomers awe also dangerwous fur us. Deadly in fact, so keep ‘em outta our reach. In udder words best you celebwate this holiday on yous own. Hey sumtimes you hoomans need to have sumfin’ dat dusn’t include us. And fur this one day, weez okay wiff dat. Just make sure weez safe, wiff furesh water, food, tweats, toys and a pawdee box or piddle pads. Weez’ll be hidin’ out, but weez safe so you go and have fun, and weez gunna close up and play wiff mommy. Sissy got a purrezzy this week and weez havin’ a blast. Fank you Bugsy, Sparky, Tiger and Blackbeard. Weez’ll be postin’ fotos this weekend. And weez also joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da weekly Pet Pawade.
