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.

Meowllo everypawdy. Hope you’re ready fur da weekend. It’s officially spwing and tornado season in tornado alley. We have sure had da wedder lately. And weez have also had lots of power twubbles. Y just yesfurday it looked like nighttime all day long. And da power kep flickerin’ on and off. So we didn’t hawdly get on da puter at all. We be so fwustrated wiff all this. We have sum Fank yous we need to post and weez also been researchin’ sumfin big fur an educational posty. But weez wanna wait on those till we donn’t have to rush to make a posty. At da moment it’s dawk outside and da middle of da day, so while it’s a little calm so weez twyin’ to get this out afur it all stawts up again. See yesfyrday got weal innerestin’ round here. As me sed it was dawk and we knew stowms were on da way. Da power had been flickerin’ on and off all day and every time it wuld go out, mommy wuld gwit her teef and ask God to make it come back on. And it did. Until…Well let me just tell ya’ in full detail. 

 dw D n L wide space

Mommy had twied to get sum of dat calmin’ stuff in me to no avail. And da power hadn’t flickered in a kupple hours so mommy fawt all was good. She had been dwinkin’ coffee which, well it runs fwu her like no udder dwink duz so she headed to da pawdee box room to…well you know. Anyways, Lexi jumped up on da vanity and wanted mommy to turn da water on fur her. Of course dat’s zactly what mommy did. And then she pulled down hers bwitches and… 

 dw Dezi hugs

Lexi: Why are you getting’ to tell da story Dezi? What do you know about how fings went? After all…  

Cuz it be meez name on da bloggy sissy. Me dusn’t have to tell everypawdy dat me was so scared me was hidin’ in da recliner. Oh hey, y’all awe still here. Well dat’s okay me finks you all wulda been purrlenty scared too. Da wind was blowin’ ‘bout 70mph and rain was fallin’ so hawd it sounded like drums. So on wiff meez story. Let’s see…yeah mommy had just sat down and there was a big ole funder boomer and da power went out. Well there awe absolutely no windows in our pawdee box room at all. And da small window in da bedroom off da pawdee box room has black curtains and a black film on it to make da room cool and dawk fur sleepin’. So there was mommy in a not so furtuitous pawsition, and Lexi on da vanity slingin’ water everywhere and suddenly it’s pitch black. Mommy sed, “Oh Lord please turn the power back on.”

 dw D n L Nature

Mommy sat there a minute tryin’ to member where da flashlights were; we have a kupple little $1.00 LeD flashlights and da one me won fwum Cat Scouts. Mommy waited anudder minute afur gwopin’ wound fur toilet paper and such and then she told Lexi to stay put. Yeah wight. Tell a service cat to let you walk fwu a dawk house by yous selff. Like dat’s ever gunna happen. MOL And yes even me came out fwum unner da chair to find mommy. So here’s mommy lookin’ like a zombie wiff hers awms out in fwunt waivin’ fwum side to side hopin’ not to run into anyfin’ and Lexi and me hot on her heels. Mommy finally reached da bed and felt round on da vanity beside it fur a flashlight. She knocked a few fings round but finally got da flashlight and pushed da on button. It came on and then went out. OMC Da batteries were dead. So mommy turned wound and almost stepped on me. She only missed me cuz me moved outta da way, anudder service cat technique. And off we all went to da livin’ room to find anudder flashlight. Lexi ran on ahead of mommy and me but steered clear of mommys huge feet. Mommy felt round and finally found a light and pushed da button to turn it on and…OMC it’s da red dot. MOL Now’s where it kuld get innewestin’ wight?

 dw Dezi love - 2HEoW-1e3 - normal

It kulda, but bein’ service cats we know da job comes afur play. So we totally ignored da red dot and mommy flashed it everywhere lookin’ fur candles. We finally got a candle lit in every room and mommy went to ask da neighbors ifin anypawdy had reported da outage. All these old peeps sittin’ outside in da dawk and pourin’ rain and sed, “they’ll get to us. We sure hope it’s soon. The hospital’s next door so surely they’ll get us up at the same time.” Well furstly da hospital has generators and we don’t, and secondly weez not on da same line. So mommy came back in and had to go dig in da dawk closet to find da old fashioned fone dat works wiffout lectwicity. They finally got our power back up wight at dinner time. Whew, we was worried mommy wuldn’t be able to see to feed us. Which bwings us to anudder update dat weez’ll be postin’ ‘bout shortly. We just gotta get fwu these stowms. Oh and weez be joinin’ up wiff da Pet Pawade Blog Hop as always. Fanks fur hostin’ yous guys. We do so luv our Pet Pawade. And we purraelly won’t be ablle to get online tomorrow so weez gunna join up wiff Athena’s Caturday Awt a day early.

A Friend To Many

Published on by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy. We hadn’t planned on writin’ a posty today as da wedder be just pawful. Da wind is howlin’ and da skies be wumblin’ and lightin’ up wiff stweaks of blue and white. But alas, da blogosphere has lost a dear soul and we have lost a dear furiend. We’ve only been here fur a little ovew a year now, so we don’t offen write these posties. Mostly cuz there’s a lot of you we didn’t or don’t know well enuff to do you justice in da passin’ of a dearly luvved furry one. But in this case, Nerissa, aka Nissy is one we met shortly after coming to blogville. We even wemember all da details. We wuz visitin’ our then new furiend Sammy from One Spoiled Cat and he was posting an award. We still didn’t unnewstand awards and such, but Sammy sed hims gweat pal Nissy had passed it along to him. He mentioned Nissy had been round da blogosphere fur a very long time and was a special kind of kitty. We fawt dat was a weally cool name and just had to go and find out hoo this Nissy was.

 Dezi-NissyMissing You... - 2HEoW-1f5 - normal

So we clicked on hims name and went stwaight over. At da time Nissy and Seville was takin’ a twip wiff their egg beaters. Mouses  As Nissy wuld say. We had no idea what this was all about. See da blogs we had stawted followin’ was mostly like ours, they told ‘bout events round their house and such. So a twip wiff egg beaters? You can tell we don’t read much fiction here. Our maginnations kuldn’t hawdly wrap our bwain round it. But we wuz drawn in and kept goin’ back to read more. Nissy was always nice to us when he came by to visit. He didn’t tweat us like newbies and we don’t fink he evew spoke a cwoss word to anypawdy. He had a heart of gold and was always welkumin’.

 Nissy R.i.P - 2HEoW-1f1 - normal

Nissy’s gone afur his time. Cuz he was let down by da VETs and da dwug manufactuwers as so many of our kitty furiends awe. So little is known ‘bout feline healff and tweatments. Fur years everyfin’ has been based on canine tweatments. Scientists awe just beginnin’ to learn dat da feline body be diffewent and wesponds diffewently than canines. Our physiology and psychology awe completely diffewent and we need science to catch up wiff feline medicine. We hate dat Nissy be gone but hims will never be furgotten. He will live on in da hearts of all he touched and in da bits and bytes of da innernet furever. We send our purrayers to hims furmily. We will miss you Nerissa, but you awe no longer in pain and fur dat we awe furever gwateful. Mommy sez dat Nissy be back in heaven now wiff God and playin’ in fields of nip wiff our very own Ransom, Lucky Devon and Shad. And dat wez’ll see him again sumday. Purrlease go by and let da furmily know yous finkin’ ‘bout them.

Meowllo everypawdy. Maybe me shuld make a fishy mouff and say hey. Yep it’s stowmin’ again. Course we knew we was in fur mow rain, we just didn’t know there wuld be stowms too. And when mommy and hers doctor was visitin’ at hers pointment him was sayin’ dat we be in a critical drought. Now meez just a kitty so me dusn’t unnerstand just how we can be in a drought wiff all da rain we be getting’, but pawently it’s so and we need all this rain. And truff is it’s always rainy here in May. Mommy sez there’s a human sayin’ dat April showers bwing May flowers. But we get April AND May showers and then sum burnt up June flowers. (it gets really hot). So yesfurday ‘bout 45 minutes afur meez Cat Scoout pawrty stawted there was a stweak of light dat lit up da dawkened sky and then da heavens opened and da angels tears fell. It didn’t let up but fur ‘bout 30 minutes last night so me missed da pawrty. Anyways, sissy wanted to tell y’all ‘bouut a pawsum fing dat happened this week, so me will turn it over to her now.

Lexi: Fanks Dezi. Hey y’all hope youz had a grayt day yesfurday. I’z need to give ya’ a bit ov background afur I’z tell ya’ da newz udderwize youz won’t git it. So az you all know I’z habz a facebook page called Alexandra and Furiends. Which by da way ifin youz not pawed dat like buttoon, purrlease click minez name and click like, or scroll down a bit here on our bloggy and click the like button on minez facebook feed. Anyways, the udder side of facebook is unner minez and Deziz name too. And it inkludez minez birffday so it showz me az da 16 year old I iz. Itz nebber binn a purrawblem till recently and mommy kuldn’t enter a contezt fur coffee cuz it used our facebook purrofile and youz had to be 18. So we asked a few furiendz to enter fur usm and they did. It waz no big deal and mommy didn’t give it anudder fawt.. And then while vizitin’ our furiend Truffles da udder day we found minez age an issue once again.  

 dw Lexi1494 regeneril

Truffles waz habbin’ a give away fur a new purroduct dat kuld help this old gal. We don’t alwayz enter give awayz, lessen it be sumfin’ we really want or wuld like to try. And this waz just one ov those timez when we really wanted to enter. So we entered our email address and clicked enter and we got a message weez nebber seen afur. It sd, “it appears you do not meet the age requirements.” Hmmmmmmm What you talkin’ ‘bout, we fawt. So we did it again. This time mommy looked at all da options and saw we kuld sign in wiff facebook, twitter or email. Well, we nebber sign into anyfin’ wiff facebook or twitter, so when we got da message da second time we kuld only assume da contest widget was hackin’ into our facebook and getting’ minez birffday and ov course I’z still not 18. So we kuldn’t eeben enter fur a chance to win da give away. We wished eberpawdy good luck and told Truffles and Miss Melissa why we kuldn’t enter in our comment and then went on wiff our day. Da next timme we checked our email Miss Melissa had sent us a note saying she was sorry we kuldn’t enter but dat she had a extwa bottle of da Regeneril and fawt dat it might be weally good fur me. And dat she had sum noms she wuld like to give us too. OMC We are so very blest. And I’z like da regeneril. Mommy sez it smells purretty strong to her, but I lick It up. Mommy puts it in minez baby food glob wiff minez udder medsinz. so I’z wanna say a meowsy big Fank ya’ to Truffles and Miss Melissa fur sharin’.

Me Didn’t Mean To

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy hope you’re having a gweat week so far. Yesfurday was one of ouur busy days as it was mommy’s regular monthly doctors pointment. Mommy used to be one of those peeps that was early to everyfin’ by at least 15 minutes. But since the accident and her getting older, she has become one of those peeps dat be late to everyfin’ by at least 5 minutes. So as she rushed round da house trying to get ready yesfurday me settled into a short nap at da top of da cat tree. Mommy had already passed out a few times and so she sed she was fine, and looked it too. Lexi ate a great dinner last night but wouldn’t touch her bwekky so in tween mommy’s rushhin’ to get ready she was tryin’ to coax sissy into eating. No luck there.  

 0dw Lexi film effect pf

Me knows what you’re finkin’, what about all of dat wuld have me sorry? Well as it happens, mommy was indeed already runnin’ late fur hers pointment. So she was hurriedly trying to gather up everyfin’ we was gunna need and she stawted havin’ hers own purrsonal summer and getting dizzy. And dat’s when it happened…mommy stated whirlin’ and reaching and grabbin’ at anyfin’ and everyfin’ to hold onto so she kuld avoid falling. Well let me tell ya a little sumfin’ ‘bout lots of da furniture here in our house. Mommy has intentionally got lots of fings wiff wheels or dat be light weight so dat she can easily move fings round. So as mommy was grabbing at fings stead of supporting her, they was moving right along wiff her. Till finally everyfin’ including mommy bumped into the immoveable freezer against da wall and down mommy went. BOOM…CRASH…BANG!!! Da horror of da noise jolted me frum meez sleep at da top of da cat tree and me jumped and scurried right into da window wiff da mini blinds and onto da floor. Me kuldn’t get away get to mommy fast enuff. 

 dw Dezi1486

Really as soon as me hit da floor, me ran to mommy to see what me kuld do to help her. Sis Lexi was hot on meez paw heels and there we was standin’ on top of mommy hoo was sprawled out on da floor. We helped mommy get up and put da house back together and we boff followed her to da chair to sit down. She cleaned da blood off her legs and arms frum da cuts and we purred while she looked in da mirror to make sure hers eye wasn’t cut up. And then mommy slowly got up frum da chair and got da stroller and we was off. Doc sed mommy’s sure gunna hurt tomorrow. She told him she sure hurt today. MOL So dat’s what me be sorry ‘bout. Me really didn’t mean to break da mini blinds. Now mommy has to go and buy sum new ones. And me sure didn’t want dat. Mommy sez she dusn’t blame me, she just didn’t have the extra money fur buying fings fur da pawtment. But there be no salvagin’ those fings. You know they have to be cheap to begin wiff, so dat’s zactly what mommy’s gunna replace ‘em wiff. But pawently even cheap mini blinds ain’t so cheap. Looks like they’re gunna cost us sumwhere round $10.00.  Again, me knows you understand and don’t blame me, but meez really sorry mommy, me fur sure never meant fur them to break. 

 dw blinds1505

Weez also spendin’ today wiff da Cat Scouts and da Tabby Cat Club celebratin’ Cinco de Mayo.  Hope you’re enjoyin’ your day as much as us.  Happy 5ff of May. 

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