Author: Service Cats U.S.

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.

Boar, Bacon, All The Same?

Published on by Service Cats U.S.28 Comments

Oh meow weez got a gweat tweat to tell you ‘bout today. Chewy asked us to review sum fureeze dwied tweats fwum Orijen this mumff and we got ‘cited. Weez twied a few udder purrodcuts fwum Orijen and fur da most pawrt weez liked ‘em. And as most of you know we luv fureeze dwied tweats. They’re purawlly one of our favowits. But what flavor wuld we be twyin’ this time we wunnewed? Mommy wusn’t tellin’ so when da box awwived we was all over it.

 

Youz mean I’z wuz awl oweber it doen’cha’ Dezi?.

 

It's a Chewy box. I'z wunner whatz in it?
It’s a Chewy box. I’z wunner whatz in it?

Well yes, Lexi you was da one all over it, but me was close by. Me was just as ‘cited as you to find out what was in it. So mommy opened it up and…Orijen Wild Boar Treats? OMC Dat be what bacon’s made of, wight sissy?

 

Well sort ov Dezi. I’z gezz itz kloze enuff.

 dw4278orijen

Well there was no waitin’, we wanted a taste wight then. So mommy opened da bag and pulled out a kupple tweats each and offered ‘em to us. What do yous fink sissy? Awe they good?

 dw4287orijen

(chewing)

 

Sissy? stop eatin’ fur a minute and tell everypawdy what you fink ‘bout these tweats.

 

I’z like ‘em a lot Dezi. 4 paws up heer.

 

Fanks sis.. (Chewing) They be very good. Sowry to talk wiff meez mouff full, but these awe weally, weally good. Fur those of you kitties dat awen’t lucky enuff to get dat bacon or even fur those dat do, these wuld be a purrfect substitute. Me gives ’em 4 paws up too.

dw4288orijen

Now what’s mommy gunna say ‘bout ‘em me wunners? Well to find dat out weez need to find out a bit more ‘bout ‘em. They be 100% single animal source Alberta wild boar. All dat’s in ‘em is wild boar and wild boar liver. They be low calorie and carbohydrate free. And da pieces awe a nice size fur a cats smaller mouff. Altho’ me duz like an even smaller bite, so mommy halved them fur me and sez they was very soft and easily split wiffout crumblin’ all to pieces. Me sez since they be soft in texture they be easy fur older kitties who may not have as many teefies left. And they wuld be easy enuff to cwumble over a meal fur a little entiemnet. And altho’ they do make these tweats fur doggies too, since there be nuffin’ in ‘em but da meat, yous can share wiff yous doggie bwofurs and sisfurs. Orijen gets all it’s ingwedients locally in Canada and then purrpares ‘em wight there too. They don’t outsource. Dat means they make all their purroducts themselves stead of sendin’ it to anudder manufacturer to purrpare, and they don’t make any foods fur any udder companies. Now yous wanna know what mommy sez ‘bout ‘em don’t ya’?

No sissy, me means ‘bout da Give Away weez havin’. Oh, datz what youz beez tawkin’ ‘bout.

 

Yep, I’z sided ‘bout dat too. I’z rellee happee dat peepz arr awlwayz wunderin’ ‘bout what beez beztezt fur us kitteez. It meenz weez git too try nu fingz dat weez mite not git too try udderwize. Soz who’z gunna tell ebberpawdy ‘bout it?

 dw Lexi profile face on1

Me of course. Me might need a little help, but wait till me asks, okay?. (Lexi nods and starts a bath) Well kitty peeps awe always lookin’ fur da best food and carriers and tweats and toys and…well you get da picture, wight?. Seems da biggest debate among hoomans is our pawdee boxes and what to put in ‘em. Shuld it be clumpin’ or not, and just what shuld it smell like? Wild flowers or spwing bweeze, or sum udder furesh scent. And shuld it be pelleted or sandy, scoopable or not. Da choices awe weally endless. Well come weal close and lissen up, cuz meez gunna tell ya’ what yous kitties have been talkin’ ‘bout and wishin’ fur. Da bestest litter in da whole wide world be da one yous kitty weally likes and will use. After all da pawdee box be fur him/her to do their business, not you. And all those purretty scents you luv…We DON’T!!! We have noses dat can pick up a scent fwum miles away and come on, do yous wanna sit on da hooman pawdee box sneezin’ da whole time?

 

Youz tell ‘em Dezi.

dw Smartcat4112

Fanks sissy. Weally da bestest litter is unscented in a texture dat isn’t too wuff on our paws and dat we can do our business in and get on wiff our busy lives of nappin’. So dat bein’ sed, seems there’s a new litter in town and all da peeps be askkin’ ‘bout it. Just what is it? How duz it work? Duz it work? Duz it have dust? Duz it twack? What is it you ask? Well it’s Pioneer Pet’s new litter called SmartCat All Natural Clumping Litter. It’s made of…wait fur it…GRASS. Yep you read dat wight, me sed grass. And it claims to out clump clay every time. It’s chemical free, clay free and fragrance free, 99% dust free, biodegwadable and wenewable and light weight. Well those fings there oughtta make yous peeps happy. But, duz it work and awe those claims twu or just more hogwash?.

 dw4133

Da folks at Pioneer Pet was gwacious enuff to send us a 20 pound bag to twy out. Mommy was a little worried cuz bein’ made of gwass and all she kinda fawt it was gunna be gween of sumfin’. And as much as we like to eat our cat gwass, she wunnewed ifin we might twy to eat da litter. (not weally but me kuldn’t wesist) Never fear mommy dear, weez smawter than that. MOL When monmmy picked up da bag she sed she wuldn’t weally call it light weight, but it kuld be considered such as 20 pounds felt more like 10. And since mommy has difficulty wiff heavy fings then weally it is lighter weight than most. So when she opened da bag, she was purrleasantly surpwised to see a golden litter dat looked a lot like what we were alweady usin’. She was happy to not be overwhelmed by purrfumes, and so were we. Now fur da furst test. Mommy began to pour da litter fwum da bag into da box…NO dust. They get a check mawk there too. Now she just sat back and waited fur us to twy it out to evaluate da west of their claims.

 dw4134

Of course, she didn’t have to wait too long. You know us kitties, a clean box be callin’ our name. MOL And well you all know me. Me began to holler to make mommy aware dat she needed to clean up. So mommy got da scooper and scoop she did. OMC What a clump. it was hawd as a cement rock. So mommy bwoke it up a bit ad flushed it down da hooman pawdee box. No purrawlems there eever. We had to wait a few hours to check it’’s clumpin’ abilities wiff sis Lexi, but it clumped just as well fur her. Mommy sez she weally liked how well it clumped cuz nuffin wet bwoke off and fell back into da clean litter. Mommy also sez there was absolutely no smell. Altho’ da weal smell test comes in later wiff da…well yous know. And Pioneer Pet’s SmartCat gets 8 paws and 2 fumms up there too. We was all so impurressed dat it be all weez took to BlogPaws. And even one of our visitors liked it well enuff to give it a twy. Our weebly wobbly furiend Sophie had to avail hers selff of da facilities while visitin’, and so weez gunna say anudder 4 paws up there.

dw4136

Old litter on da left, SmartCat on da wight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a lot of you know we be purretty big kitties so there’s only one fing we found purroblematic. Me duz seem to “sink” a bit cuz it be so lightweight. Sissy has lost a lot of weight and mommy didn’t notice it happenin’ wiff her, so ifin yous kitty be 15 pounds or less, you shuld be fine. Fur me a little mixin’ and all’s good again. As wiff most of da natural clumpin’ litters Pioneer Pet wecommends keeping 3” – 4” of SmartCat in da box fur optimum purrfurmance. And a 20 pound bag filled da extwa lawge pawdee box and we had a little more than a 1/3 of a bag left. Me wuld like to tell ya’ a bit ‘bout Pioneer Pet. It was founded by Betsy Lipscomb, a cat behaviorist. She also stawrted Catsinternational.org, a non-purrofit organization whose mission is to help peeps better unnewstand their feline companions. The mission of Pioneer Pets is to make purroducts to impurrove da quality of life fur hoomans and us kitties.
