Meowllo and welcome to a very special Blest Sunday. We have so many blessings in our lives one post just isn’t enough. But we’ll try. First me wants to say fank you all fur participating in our Blest Sunday postathon. We decided to host this event at the Tabby Cat Club, but thought it should be shared by any blogger who would like to post their many blessings. And it just so happened to fall on the same day that we were going to post after the fundraiser’s end. Things couldn’t have aligned better if we had tried. You may have also noticed this post is being written in human speak. It’s because we want everybody to be able to read every word.
As most of you know by now we’ve only been in social media for about a year now. But in that year we have met so many wonderful people from all over the world. And we have made so many friends. We are so truly blest. Guess we’ll go back to when this all started. Through no fault of our own, our apartment flooded back in July. Not once, but twice, and management kept giving us the run around about repairing and replacing the floors. During all this, mommy’s only sitting recliner broke. Our mattress which is all foam got wet. And so there mommy was sitting on the wet dirty carpet and sleeping in the wet bed. Well, back when we first got our computer we started a facebook page and belonged to a cat group where we made tons of wonderful friends. The cat group site shut down so we all migrated to facebook, and kept in touch.
While mommy was fighting with management trying to get our apartment fixed one of our awesum friends Mary Beth, who we call awnty; was rallying our facebook friends to try to raise some money so we could get mommy a new recliner. She asked for our paypal address and before we knew it our friends started putting monies in our account. And some sent food for us and for mommy, and some sent clothes, and others sent toys and/or treats. All the while they were praying for us and mommy. We can’t thank you all enough for what you did for us. Just know that you all hold a special place in our hearts.

Just a few of the gifts we received.
Another month passed and mommy was still fighting with management trying to get our apartment fixed up, and Miss Linda sent us an email. Conversations back and forth and finally Miss Linda said it would be great if mommy could get a lift chair and we could replace the wet mattress. Mommy agreed, but didn’t see how that was possible. And Miss Linda said she would like to sponsor a fundraiser for us and add to the list steps for Lexi to help her out. So the fundraiser was started. The first of the money that came in was transferred to us and put with what we already had in our paypal account and a chair for mommy was ordered. By this time we were finally back in our apartment and the floors had been replaced and several other improvements had been attempted. (all have been completed at this time) The fundraiser ended early when all funds were raised and exceeded. The final total was $1,952.00. We can’t begin to express our gratitude to everyone who donated. You all gave from your heart and we are so honored to have been the recipients of your love and kindness. Every gift mattered and every gift was precious to us. We watched the fundraiser everyday and mommy would read the names to us and the comments that were made and she would cry tears of happiness and humility. There was a little confusion at one point over the fees, but after much research and a few phone calls we can tell you that the fees WERE NOT charged to us or Miss Linda. The best way to explain is that it’s kind of like using an out of network ATM. The person using the card is charged a fee. But that fee isn’t taken out of the amount they withdraw, it’s charged to their account. So, the final total that You Caring showed is the amount that was deposited into the pay pal account for us.
Well first of all you already know that we were able to get a chair for mommy. And we all love it. It was special made just for her. And we got a new and dry mattress for the bed. It arrived Saturday. So we’re going to be sleeping in a dry bed again. WooHoo And we got a set of steps ordered fur sis Lexi, and the top half got here yesterday. They are being specially made just for her and our bed. Of course you will be seeing lots more of them in the future.

There was also some of you that gave and specified something different. We were so touched by the special friends that gave us their treat money so we could hav a new toy. Mommy ordered us a nip nana cause it’s one of our favorites. And we love it!!! And mommy was given a gift card and told to buy something frivolous with it. She hasn’t yet, but now that all the stress is over and everything’s finally set right, mommy will turn her thoughts to frivolity and make a decision about what to buy. Of course we’ll let you know what she got when she gets it.
We have been so humbled by the love and support we’ve received during all of this. We never expected the depth of generosity we received, but are eternally grateful. Thank you just doesn’t seem adequate but is all we know to say. You’re all so dear to us. And we pray God’s blessings for you. Every prayer, kind and uplifting word and monetary donation are appreciated. We have been alone for such a very long time, but you all have shown us we are no longer alone. Our family has grown exponentially and we are thrilled and honored to welcome you to our family. Our Facebook friends, Blogging friends and Cat scouts all supported us and we hope that we can in some way make you all proud to know us and be a part of our extended family. We are so Blest and so very grateful to be a part of such an awesome community. From the bottom of our hearts…………THANK YOU!!!

Weez told you dat this wuz a weally special Meowday in da first place and sum of you wunnewed why. So we fawt weez wuld shawe dat wiff yous. See Shad, Devon, Lucky and Ransom all went to heaven eevew wight afur their 5ff Meowday, or shortly aftew it. Fur years it seemed dat mommy wuz cursed to lose her beloved fur babies sumtime in da 5ff year. When sis Lexi bypassed 5 and celebwated hers 6ff Meowday mommy wuz so ‘cited hers didn’t know what to do. And now each year weez tweat hers Meowday wiff such elation cuz weez awe fwilled dat hers bwoke dat curse. But mommy still duz get mowe purrtectiv wound da 5ff Meowday. But we luv her so weez tolerate it. Da blessing in all this is dat mommy has me and me has her. And meez pawty wuz pawsum.
Fank yous Sweetie and awnty Melisse.
Meez nex posty is gunna be ‘bout da pawsum date Andy took me on. And wait’ll you see da gift hims got me. OMC And today weez celebwatin’ November Meowdays and Gotcha days ovew at Cat Scouts. As most of you know meez Gotcha day is this mumff too cuz mommy litewally saved meez life.
Fank you Shoko and Kali (The Canadian Cats)
Now on to a little news. Me told yous dat da big box weez put nip in fur meez pawty wuz gunna be ow new pawdee box. Mommy finks da jumbo boxes we hav awe too small fur me and dat’s da weason me hadn’t fully weturned to usin’ them. So mommy got da new box all cleaned up and filled wiff litter. And to be on da safe side, mommy had also ordered sum of da BLue Buffalo bwand of cat litter. On da off chance me had decided me didn’t like da Swheatscoop anymowe. So in da new gigantor box is ow twaditional Swheatscoop cat litter. And in one of da old boxes, aftew bein’ cleaned, mommy put in da walnuts. Well dat’s what it is, wight? Cwushed walnuts?. So anyways, now we hav da gigantor box wiff Swheatscoop and we hav one of da jumbo boxes wiff da BLue Buffalo nut shell litter and da last jumbo box wiff da Swheatsoop. While mommy wuz fixin’ ow dinner guess hoo went to da pawdee box? Yep, ME. And me didn’t even holler fur her to come and watch me.
Fank you Mika and awnty Linda B.
Now anypawdy wanna guess which of da 3 boxes me used? Well do ya’? Yep, me used da jumbo box wiff da Blue Buffalo Walnut shells. Altho’ mommy did see dat me had been walkin’ wound in da new gigantor box. At da end of da day mommy sed she dusn’t cawe what box me used so long as it wuz a box and not da floor. MOL And that hers didn’t hav to come back there and stand watch. Course da new neighbor isn’t nearly as scawy as da last ones and da floor not stink anymowe, so me shuld use da pawdee box, and now meez happy too. Weez’ll keep yous all updated on da litter and box saga as time goes on.
It turned pawfully cold here yesfurday. Course we scpected dat, cuz we weally only hav 2 seasons here. We call them…Hot and cold. And da hot always leaves da night of halloween. And suwe nuff, it wuz wound 85 degwees duwn’ da day, and then fureezin’ at night. There wuz furost on da caws and gwass/weeds when we got up yesfurday meownin’. So guess weez hav to say goodbye to summer. But again, da blessin’ is dat hopefully it will kill off all da bugs. (Dat’s mommy’s wish) Anyways we kinda covewed a lot of diffewent fings today, but weez do feel twuly blest to hav all of you in ow lives.

Weez suwe hope lots of yous will shawe ‘bout da mini black panfers all ovew social media and help to dispel all those cwazy myffs ‘bout such pawsum kitties. And OMC meez Meowday is comin’ up weally fast. Meez gunna be 5 years old this November 1st. Me can’t believ it and mommy’s holdin’ hers bweff and will be till meez 6ff Meowday. Anyways mommy’s twyin’ to figger out what to do fur meez big day, got any suggestions?
Well here it is Blest Sunday again. This year has just gotten away fwum us and is almost ovew. While dat might not mean vewy much to yous, it’s vewy impurrtant fur us. It mawks a weal milestone in ow lives. See just a little ovew a year ago now we got ow vewy first catputer. Mommy knew nuffin’ ‘bout ‘em but most of ow bills and bankin’ had swiched ovew and wuz gunna stawt chawgin’ us a mumffly fee ifin weez didn’t jump on da ‘puter bandwagon. Well of course weez didn’t hav da munny fur no [uter, but mommy continued to look wound. Hers finally found a puter weez kuld buy and ordered it. It wusn’t long afur weez had it in ow house, and mommy began to twy to figger out what to do wiff it.
Da local community college has a bwanch here in ow town and they offer clases fur da seniors here fur furee. Well mommy purromptly signed up fur a Facebook class. Alwight even livin’ off da gwid and under a rock weez had heard of Facebook. Da first class mommy learned hers wuz gunna hav to cweate a Facebook account. WTC (what the cat) Mommy bein’ a purrivate purrsun and a single lady livin’ alone hers ‘cided wight away hers didn’t want hers foto and name all ovew da net, so hers cweated sed Facebook account under Lexi and meez name. And then hers went about liking a foo sites and so on. Da nex fing hers knew she wuz bein’ asked ifin weez, sis Lexi and me; had a page. It took ‘bout 3 weeks, afur hers figgered out what to do to cweate us a page, but soon nuff hers got it up and began to tell ow stowwy. And what followed wuz beyond ow wildest dweams or expectations.
Peeps stawted followin’ ow stowwy and commentin’ and messagin’ us and weez made furiends. Now meez knows yous all know dat’s what Facebook calls da peeps dat follow yous, but weez mean “Weal Furiends.” Peeps dat weally cawed ‘bout us and dat luvved us as much as we luvved them. Weez kuldn’t wait evewyday to connect wiff ‘em, and shawe in their joys and sowwows and hav them do da same. Afur long those same furiends became pawt of ow framly. And weez don’t know what we wuld do wiffout ‘em. And then a foo mowe mumffs down da road and weez had a blog and even mowe furiends. And yous know what? Y’all hav become pawt of ow framly too. Weez awe so blest.
Weez hav come so faw in a year it’s kinda skeery. We can’t magine ow lives now wiff out yous all in it. And weez not want too. Yous know when we stawted out mommy didn’t know nuffin’ bout editing fotos much less usin’ foto apps or online photoshoppin’. And now weez pawticipate in a Caturday Art Blog Hop. When weez stawted mommy didn’t know nuffin’ ‘bout makin’ videos, and now weez hav ow own YouTube channel. When meez stawted bloggin’ mommy didn’t even know how to let me leave a comment fur meez oldest and dearest bloggin’ furiend Timmy Tomcat (hims blog wuz on a diffewent furmat). It wuz Timmy dat got us into bloggin’ in da first place and now weez kuldn’t even comment on hims posties.
Well dat’s all behind us now and weez can comment on any blog anywhere. And weez hav accounts wiff Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr (All under da name Deziz World), of course Facebook and ow newest and most undeveloped, Instagram. Can yous believ it? A year ago weez didn’t even know what these fings wuz. Meez a Cat Scout and sis Lexi and me awe boff members of da Tabby Cat Club. Weez also membews of a foo cat specific sites like da Cat Channel. And nun of this wulda evew happened ifin weez hadn’t got a catputer. Weez learn new fings evewyday, and just last night mommy learned how to use a fumm dwive. Can yous believ it? Afur yous go gettin’ all ‘cited ‘bout mommy gettin’ smawt, hers kuldn’t hav dun it wiff out help fwum Mr. Pete, Timmy’s daddy. Hims walked mommy fwu what to do and now hers a fumm dwive natuwal. (It’s okay Miss Tricia hav yous a good laff just don’t spit out da coffee). Fur those of yous wunnewin’ dat’s Miss Tricia of da Katnip Lounge. She’s way cool and gets a weal kick outta me sayin’ fumms. Most of yous know hers and da lounge but ifin any of yous not know ‘em yet, head on ovew, those cats got a gweat set up there in da desert.
Anyways, me sed all dat to show yous just how blest weez weally awe. Blest Sunday is ow favowit posty to make. We know it has vewy little to do wiff us bein’ service cats or ow work or play, but it’s a time to weflect on da good in ow lives. And all of these fings awe gweat, but da bestest and gweatest blessing is ALL of YOU!!!
Anudder blessing weez need to mention is da fundwaiser dat Savannah and Miss Linda be sponsowin’ fur us. Fank yous so much an fank yous to evewypawdy dat has donated. Yous can check it out here.
Do yous member how it wuz when yous first stawted in social media? What wuz yous first account? Hav yous made furiends since stawtin’ out dat yous feel make yous life better? Yous awe all twuly blest too.
(Dat’s mommy’s wish) Anyways we kinda covewed a lot of diffewent fings today, but weez do feel twuly blest to hav all of you in ow lives.
