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.

Service Kitty Havin’ Fun

Published on by Service Cats U.S.78 Comments

Meowllo evewypawdy, and a happy Tuesday to yous all. A while back meez posted ‘bout meez new hawness and showed yous all fotos of me wearin’ it and luvin’ it. And then a bit later me told yous all dat mommy had put it on me duwin’ a weally bad stowm we had and it seemed to help me. Specially since me hates da fundershirt and won’t keep it on so weez hav no idea ifin it wuld work. Well meez has sum new furiends since then and sum of them awe workin’ on leash and hawness twainin’ and sum awe workin’ on becomin’ Therapy animals, so me fawt me wuld make a little posty ‘bout me and meez hawness ifin nuffin’ else to giv their hoomans hope dat sumday their furbabies will be stwuttin’ their stuff too. Smile 

Mommy cleaned da hutch and meez lookin' at meez weflection in da window.
Mommy cleaned da hutch and meez lookin’ at meez weflection in da window.

As yous know me and sis Lexi awe Service cats. Now dat’s not da same as a Therapy or Companion animal and we covered those distinctions early on, and yous can read dat posty here. Anyways, pawt of bein’ a workin’ animal wegardless of which one yous awe is dat yous will hav to go outside and twavel wiff yous hooman at sum point. And yous gunna hav to wear a leash. Well what dat leash is attached to can be numerous fings, but mommy purrfurs and so duz me, da harness. And weez purrfur da jacket style hawness ovew da fin stwappy ones. Ifin yous hav a badge it can be attached or sewn onto yous jacket hawness much easier. Mommy wuz gunna sew meez Service badge on meez hawness, but hers decided to attach it to da stwoller instead, cuz meez always in there when weez go out unless weez awe visitin’ sumpawdy. But meez job is to take cawe of mommy. And cuz she found out it works so well when weez hav stowms. Sumtimes da badges make them a little stiff. So meez badge is on da stwoller and meez can wear da hawness anytime fur any weason.

Yep yous read wight. It's stormin' and meez not hidin'. Meez luvvin' me hawness mowe evewyday.
Yep yous read wight. It’s stormin’ and meez not hidin’. Meez luvvin’ me hawness mowe evewyday.

And guess what? Meez been wearin’ it a lot lately. Weez been havin sum pawful stowms here. Let me tell ya’ they’ve been so pawful even mommy’s been jumpin’ sum and not able to sleep fwu them. Mommy sez da funder and lightning has been so loud and stwikin’ so close to ow pawtment dat even hers has been a little worried. See weez hav nuffin’ but woods behind ow pawtment and lots and lots of twees. Mommy sez all those tall twees awe like a bunch of lightnin’ rods. It’s a fire waitin’ to happen. And hers been so excited ‘bout hers new chair dat yous all helped get hers, she hasn’t wanted to leav it. MOL But fur meez new and yous older furiends too we took a little video of me and meez hawness duwin’ a wecent stowm. Da idea bein’ don’t giv up. Even ifin yous kitty dwops like dead weight when yous first put da hawness on ‘em, keep da faiff. A foo minutes a day at first and work up fwum there. Once kitty is comfy wiff da hawness, attach da leash and leav it fur a foo minutes a day. Eventually add yous selff to da udder end and work up to goin’ outside. But purrlease member to tweat yous kitty fur fleas and all da dangers and hazards of outside life afur yous take them out into da big bad world. And make suwe yous kitty has tags, a micwoship or tattoo. Sum form of identification in da event of da worst. And when weez say tattoo, weez not mean “awt”. Lexi has an ID tattoo in hers ear, cuz when she wuz little dat wuz da pawpular method of id’in’ an animal. It wuz like da purrcursor to da micwochip. Which sis Lexi and me also hav. So hope yous enjoy da video and good luck in yous endeavors.

And a small update, all da boxes awe unpacked, and now mommy’s twyin’ to get evewyfin’ put back where it belongs. Mostly knick knacks and such, but cuz hers keeps twyin’ to be too many places at once and hers awfur-itis is actin’ up cuz of all da rain,  she just hasn’t had enuff time yet to get it dun. But don’t worry, weez member yous all wanna tour da house and da new stuffs. 🙂

Ifin yous ca’t see da video purrlease click here.

Weez also wanna fank Savannah and hers mommy Ms. Linda fur sponsewin’ da fundwaiser to get mommys chair and sum pet steps and a new dwy mattress fur ow bed.  Weez had kinda stalled fur a foo days, but da fundwaiser is still goin’ and all funds awen’t yet raised, so purrlease check it out here. And meez wants to say a meowsy big Fank yous to Spitty the Kitty fur hims donation and purrayers. 

Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!

Fanks to yous generosity hers wuz able to go ahead and order a chair (payment: 1/2 on order and da udder 1/2 afur delivewy). And now let me tell ya’, this is no ordinary chair. It weclines all da way to slepin’ comfurt, called zewo gwavity. Or it can stop anywhere fwum sittin’ to layin’ down. And then it’ll lift hers wight on up to a standin’ position. This here chair wuz da first fing fwum da fundwaiser mommy ordered when hers wuz able to cover da cost. Cuz this chair wuz also made special fur mommy. Hers told them how wide to make da seat and how tall to make da back and how faw up or down hers wanted it to go. In udder words, this chair isn’t sumfin’ hers kulda just went online to amazon.com and order. Hers ordered it a while back, but cuz it wuz bein’ special made, weez kuldn’t say anyfin’. And then on Furiday da semi pulled into da complex and da dwiver came up to ow pawtment and sed hims had a chair to deliver. So dat special made chair IS HERE!!! WooHoo!!! Weez luv it, and mommy’s fwilled wiff it too. Da wemote contwol is all lit up so dat even wiff out hers glasses mommy can see what hers duin’.

Oh Wow, Lookit what yous all bought fur meez mommy. Fank yous sooooo much!!!
