Blest Sunday: The Selfie Fiasco

Published on August 19, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

MeOW (Dezi lays on the scratcher cleaning her face after having a few bites of breakfast, when she hears a low rumble off in the distance…) Hisssssssssss Hurry Raena, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty befur the storms start up again. (Dezi looks up at mommy A sitting in the chair beside the scratcher and begins to meow) Mommy, me’s so tired of the storms. Me didn’t even get to take selfies with you and Raena.

Well whose fault is that sissy? Mommy called you like, elebenty billion times. You’re the one who chose to stay UTB (under the bed) ‘stead of comin’ out fur the foto shoot. ‘Course, I’s’ll tell ya’, you didn’t miss much. Mommy couldn’t figger out how to make the smarty pants fone camera turn ‘round; and shootin’ selfies with the regular camera was like shootin’ in the dark. And, mommy made me sit and stare into the air the whole time she messed with ‘em. She got great fotos of mine’s paws and her neck. And a few of our tummies, and the tippy tops of our heads. I’s tellin’ ya’, we’d have blooper fotos fur a year outta that one foto shoot.

Really Raena? Well, guess it’s good that mommy doesn’t claim to be a seasoned or purrfessional fotographer. Otherwise, it would really be embarrassin’. Sometimes, me thinks we could take better fotos even tho’ we don’t have any thumbs.

You’re purrobably right sissy. We did furinally get a couple of usable fotos. Fanky fank heavens. Mommy’s been so x’cited ‘bout havin’ her new teethies, and we know everypawdy wants to see ‘em, so she wasn’t ‘bout to stop till we got at least one foto. Mommy was so touched by everypawdy who said she was purretty even without makeup.

Yeah Raena, but they’ve never seen her. Ya’ know, it’s kind’a like the old barn on the farm. It’s full of memories and luv but not much to look at. But, you throw a couple coats of fresh paint on ‘er and she’s not an eyesore anymore.

Sissy?!! Are you callin’ mommy an eyesore? I’s gonna tell.

Go ahead blabber mouth. Me wasn’t callin’ mommy an eyesore. Me was just sayin’, some old barns look better with a few coats of paint. You know, mommy’s got scars and discolorations and no eyebrows. You know how self conscious she is. She gets all decked out fur her drivers license foto fur kittens sake.

That’s true sissy, she sure does. Anyways, I’s think the new teethies look purretty good. It’s fur sure nice to see mommy smilin’ again. She’s gonna need some adjustments, but ‘pawrently, that’s purrfectly normal. And as soon as we get the green papers fur more gas, mommy’ll call and make a ‘pointment. Mommy says she’s so very fanky fankful fur all the luv and suppurrt from our furiends durin’ this long purrocess. We are so very Blest to have the greatest furiends in the universe.

We are Raena. That’s why we fank God fur them every day and ask Him to Bless them and meet all their needs.

I’s luvs purrayer time sissy. I’s luvs countin’ all our Blessings. (Seeing Dezi pawing through the toy basket, Raena meows…) Sissy, what are you doin’? There’s a nip nanner right here, and a nip heart and fishy and our made with luvs by awnty Ellen, silvervine toast over there.

(Looking up and over her shoulder from the toy basket) Me knows Raena, but those aren’t the toys me wants to play with right now. Me’s sure there’s somethin’ really fun in the toy basket, me just has to dig out some of these toys on top.

But sissy, mommy just picked up all those toys and put ‘em away. I’s don’t think she’s gonna be too happy ‘bout you scatterin’ ‘em all over the floor again.

She won’t care Raena. Mommy’s always sayin’ how much she luvs to see us playin’. (Dezi pulls the top layer of toys out of the toy basket and then looks around) We sure are Blest to have so many toys. Me thinks me’d rather play with the nip heart after all. As we do every week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Hey sissy, don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. After all I’s had to put up with to get a usable foto of mommy’s new teethies, we’re fur sure postin’ ‘em. Truth be told, I’s totally enjoyed bein’ held by mommy. Ain’t ‘nuffin better than mommy luvvin’.

Till the next time…………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: We’re Always Good Girls

Published on August 12, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

RaenaBelle, me sure wishes you’d act like a civilized cat and quit layin’ on the pawtty box. Some of us like a bit of purrivacy ya’ know?! And me’s tail isn’t a toy fur that matter. How would you like it ifin me whacky pawed your tail while you were usin’ the pawtty box. Or purrhaps you might get a laugh ifin me tried to trip you as you stepped outta the pawtty box, huh? RaenaBelle?!! Are you lissenin’ to me?

What’s that sissy? Did you meow somethin’? Hey, isn’t it Blest Sunday time?

(Dezi shakes her head) That selective hearin’ is gonna get you into trouble some day Raena. Me meowed purrlenty. But you’re right, it is Blest Sunday, and pawrt of fankin’ God fur our Blessings is furgivin’ those that have wronged us. So, me will furgive you fur tryin’ to trip me this meownin’, and yesfurday and the day befur and the day befur and the…

Uh, I’s think furgiveness isn’t s’posed to sound quite like that sissy. I’s think you’re just s’posed to furgive me and not actually count all the times or things you’re furgivin’ me fur. Anyways, fanky fank you. I’s furgive you too.

Fur What, Raena?! Me’s never done anythin’ to you.

What? Of course you have sissy. You eat mine’s dinner evey day. Even tho’ mommy tells you not too. But that’s okay, we’re furgivin’, and besides, mommy always makes me more when you’re not lookin’.

What?!!! (Dezi shakes her head) Whatever Raena. Is there anypawdy else you need to ‘pawlogize too? Or maybe you need to ask somepawdy to furgive you?

Nope, sissy, I’s good. How ‘bout you?

Ifin you’re good then fur sure me is, Raena. Me’s always a good girl.

Sure you are sissy. That’s why we can’t see the bathroom floor fur the piddle pads. Or the hallway floor fur that matter. All cuz you’re bein’ a good girl. Why don’t we ask mommy what she says to that?

Go ahead tattle tale. Don’t you know by now that it doesn’t matte what we do, mommy luvs us just the same?. Even you, you little pest. No matter what, mommy says we’re always Good Girls, her little angels.

I’s gonna tell mommy you’re bein’ mean to me and callin’ me names, sissy. You know she doesn’t like negative names. That’s why she calls us her little angels, even when we’re not actually actin’ like one.

Me’s sorry Raena. Kittens!!! Sometimes you can be such a brat. And me means that in the nicest pawssible sense. Let’s get to our Blessings. You know we’re the most Blestest kitty girls ever. We were reminded this past week just how Blest we truly are. While on facebutt (facebook) we were readin’ a few rescue stories of kitties saved from the mean streets of this world. It reminded us of our own humble beginnings.

So true, sissy. It doesn’t really matter where you get your start, what matters is how it all ends. Fanky fankfully, we didn’t have to wait very long fur our happily ever after, our furever story, but so many kitties do.

Life is good.

Yep Raena, our furever is amazin’ and filled with so much luv and so many pawsum furiends. We wish that ever kitty could find their happy furever, and we believe that some day that will happen. In the meantime, we’ll continue to do all we can to make that happen. We also wanna fank all of those who help kitties in need. Each life is purrecious and a Blessing. As always, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Life is better than good.

Don’t furget our Sunday Selfies with the Kitties Blue, sissy.

Till the next time………………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Friends Are A Blessing

Published on August 5, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.19 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s time fur Blest Sunday and we’ve gotta get to it while mommy’s able to type fur us. Ya’ know, things would be so much easier ifin we had thumbs to type fur ourselves.

Raena: Or an app that could translate kitty meows to human speak. Wouldn’t that be pawsum sissy? As it turns out, the new smarty pants fone doesn’t unnerstand meow speak after all.

That would be purretty cool Raena, but humans have enuff trouble unnerstandin’ us kitties, can you ‘magine the misunnerstandings a catputer purrogram would make? (Dezi shakes head)

Only ifin humans created it, sissy. Maybe we could create the app. We’d be famous. We’d be rich. We’d be…

We’d be somethin’ Raena, that’s fur sure. Anyways, we’ll just have to hope that mommy can adjust and keep helpin’ us.

Yeah sissy, I’s just don’t unnerstand how a group of peeps that don’t even know mommy or her medical history can make laws that tell her doctor how much medicine she can take. Mommy said they were gonna cut her dose again soon. She’s already started fallin’ more and passin’ out more and I’s swear, we’re gonna wear our paws out with all the migraines she’s been gettin’. I’s lost count of how many massages we’ve given her over the last couple of days.

Me feels ya’ Raena. But, we are so Blest to have such a pawsum mommy. Ifin she needs a hunnerd massages a day, me will gladly help her. Me’s just happy that the doctor or his staff wasn’t mean to mommy. She had no idea what to x’pect when she went in fur her regular monthly ‘pointment Furiday. After all, the last time she was there, that office lady was yellin’ at mommy and throwin’ papers at her.

Yeah sissy, I’s was glad ‘bout that too. That lady basically just ignored mommy and purrtended she didn’t see her. Anyways, enuff ‘bout that. Did you see the woofy that moved in next door?

Is that what that was on our porch the other day?

Yeah sissy,, the grandkid was s’posed to be walkin’ it and stead of takin’ him/her on the grass ‘round back, they were all over our porch and garden. Mommy said she better not open the door to find any surprises. We just don’t unnerstand why peeps don’t clean up after their woofies.

Yeah Raena, me thinks woofies could take a few lessons from us kitties on how to train their humans. Us cats have that one down. Hey did you hear that today is National Friendship Day? We’re so Blest to have so many amazin’ furiends.

We sure are sissy. Can sissy’s be furiends too? I’s think I’s Blest to have you fur a furiend and mine’s sissy.

(Sarcastically) Yeah, yeah, whatever Raena. Me’s Blest too.

Really sissy? Do you mean it?

Yeah Raena, me means it. (Dezi thinks about all the possibilities and then mumbles quietly) Guess me could’a ended up with much worse. (Dezi clears her throat) Anyways, meowin’ of furiends, there are so many who aren’t feelin’ tip top lately. We just hate it when our furiends are feelin’ yucky. We’ve been sendin’ up lots of extra purrayers fur all.

Sure ‘nuff sissy. Ya’ know, we’ve got a big week ahead of us, we better get to crackin’.

Me’s comin’ Raena. But, me’s not doin’ all the cleanin’ me’s self. You’re gonna be helpin’ too, right?

Of course I’s gonna help sissy. I’s gonna snoopervise. That’s what alpha kitties do.

We’re not a pride of a hunnerd Raena. You’re gonna do lots more than snoopervise or me’s gonna tell mommy. More than half this mess is yours. You’re the one who uses the piddle pads as skateboards not me.

Yep sissy, and you have no idea what fun you’re missin’. Trust me, try it just once. I’s bet you’ll luvs it. You can go from one end of the hall to the other in no time…watch me. (Raena runs and jumps on the piddle pad in the hallway and slides down the hall) Wheeeeeeeee!!! See sissy? It’s sooooooo much fun!!!

Sure Raena. Me’s not sure mommy would agree. Anyways, let’s get off here and finish brekky so me can have a beauty nap. As we do each Blest sunday, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of ours.

Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies too.

Blest Sunday: Mini Tigers Major Blessings

Published on July 29, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.22 Comments

Dezi: MeOW RaenaBelle, hurry up, it’s time fur Blest Sunday and me thinks me hears the sky rumblin’. Me might have to go searchin’ fur intruders soon.

Raena: I’s don’t get why you don’t just admit you’re hidin’ sissy. There’s nuffin’ to be ashamed of; lots of our furiends are scared of thunder boomers and storms.

Dezi: Me’s not scared Raena. How many times does me have to tell ya’ that? Y, Ifin not fur me, you might wind up sleepin’ with some pawful intruder one night.

Okay sissy, whatever you meow. Hey, did you see on the catputer that today is International Tiger Day? You know they’re our cousins, right? Maybe some day, we can meet one. That would be so cool.

Can you see me?

RaenaBelle, sometimes, me wonders how you ever survived long enuff fur mommy to save you. Tigers might be our cousins, but trust me, you don’t want to meet ‘em up close and purrsonal. Y, They’d have us fur a snack. Anyways…

Don’t worry sissy, I‘s would purrtect you. I’s a mini Tigress after all.

Sure Raena. As me was meowin’ befur you so rudely innerupted me, we have so much to be fankful fur this week. Fanks to awnty Susan, mommy was able to buy gas to go to her dentist ‘pointment fur the last of the wax try ins. She’s gettin’ so close to furinally havin’ teeth again. She said they looked great, even tho’ they were still in wax.

(From the perch at the door) Yep sissy, I’s can’t wait. I’s know mommy can’t either, she’s so x’cited.

Is there anythin’ x’citin’ goin’ on outside Raena?

Not a thing sissy. I’s haven’t even seen any birdies today. I’s can hear all kinds of things, but they must be hidin’ somehwere. Maybe they’re lookin’ fur intruders too sissy. What do you think?

Me thinks you’re bein’ a real smarty pants Raena, and it isn’t cute. Now, let’s get to countin’ our Blessings. Even tho’ you can be a real pain in me’s behind, me is fankful that you’re me’s sisfur.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Sissy, that’s so sweet of you.

Yeah well, don’t let it go to your head. Me’s fankful fur trash bags too and ya’ don’t see them gettin’ all beside themselves.

Oh Sissy, I’s know you like to act all snooty and mean, but you’re really just a big old softy.

Look into me’s eyes…you’re gettin’ sleepier…MOL

Anyways, we’re so Blest to have each other. Me’s not sure anypawdy else would put up with us. MOL

We’re also Blest to have such great furiends. And it’s even cooled off some. The temps fur the last couple of days have been in the low 90’s. We won’t meow ‘bout that humidity stuffs. Mommy says it’s so thick ya’ can’t even breathe. She even waited till 3 this meownin’ to take the trash out. She was hopin’ it would be a bit cooler. Fanky fankfully, she came to bed shortly after and I’s got mine’s nightly mommy and me cuddle time. I’s also fanky fankful our wild cousins decided to take up with humans so we could live the nice cushy life we have these days.

Good one Raena. We’re also Blest to have mommy’s lap and her luv. Yep, we are so very Blest indeed. As always, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives.

And, like we do every Sunday, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

C’mon Raena, let’s go play while me’s in the mood.

Till the next time……………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

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.
