Blest Sunday: My Life Wouldn’t Be the Same

Published on May 14, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.30 Comments

Welcome to a very special Blest Sunday. As ya’ll know, we luv blest Sunday’s, but today is even more special. Today, is Mother’s day. We know this day is all ‘bout women who have 2 legged children. But what ‘bout those women who fur whatever reason don’t have 2 legged children? Or those who gave their luv to a child who didn’t have any? And those like mommy, who only have furry four legged kids? Well, we say ifin you’ve ever luvved and nurtured a young’un, be it furred or non furred, you’re a mother.

You’ve no doubt gone without at one time or another to make things better fur that young’un. You’ve laffed whether they were funny or not, and cried when they were hurt. You felt purride in their accomplishments and joy in their happiness. And gave fanks at the end of each day that they were close to you.

That’s right sissy. We salute all mother’s today and every day fur your unconditional luvs. We fanky fank you fur puttin’ us young’un’s befur yourself, and fur givin’ us the most pawsumest life.

Yep Raena, you got that right. We wrote a little poem fur all the mother’s of furries every where. We realize that not all furry children can do the things we do but we know they luv their mommies just as much as we luv ours. We’ll be givin’ mommy lots of extra luv and massages today. But befur we get started we wanted to wish you all the most Blest and Happy Mother’s Day ever!

My Life Wouldn’t Be The Same

Without you, my life wouldn’t be the same.

Maybe you found me, looking starved and scroungy on the streets.

Maybe you found me hiding in a cage

At some shelter, that took me in.

Maybe you found me online

Being fostered by a caring human.

No matter how you found me…

You Did!!!

My life changed that day,

And so did yours.

I’m so happy you chose me.

Out of all the kitties in the world

You looked at me

And saw my inner beauty.

You saw passed my sad eyes,

My dingy fur and even my fear.

Now, I wait to hear your voice calling my name,

To feel your gentle caress on my clean shiny furs.

I watch for you from the window sill when you’re away

I wait patiently for your lap when you sit down.

My purr says I Love You

My meow says I need you

Without you, my life wouldn’t be the same.

Blest Sunday: Growing Green

Published on May 7, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.30 Comments

MeOW It’s Blest Sunday. Me luvs Blest Sunday. Ya’ know, we count our blessings each day, but we so luv takin’ the time to fank God fur them and fank all our furiends fur sharin’ their lives with us.

I’s luvs Blest Sunday too Dezi. We really are blest to have so much. Our furiend Valentine recently innerviewed us, and it reminded us just how blest we really are. You can check out the furst installment here.

Yeah Raena, what an innerview. Valentine asked a lot of great questions. Of course we meowed ‘bout how it is bein’ Service Kitties, but he also asked a lot of questions, we bet peeps have wondered ‘bout and just haven’t asked. As a matter of fact, he asked so many good questions, he’s gonna post it in pawrts.

Ya’ reckon he also decided to do it that way cuz we’re kinda wordy sissy?

Wordy? Who’ve you been meowin’ too Raena? We’re not wordy, we just have lots to say. ‘Purrtant stuffs. Wordy means you’re meowin’ nonsense; and we don’t meow nonsense?.

Of course I’s agree with you sissy. But, we have been called wordy and long winded befur. I’s don’t know why anypawdy would say that, but mommy says it’s true.

Well, that’s okay Raena. Peeps can say whatever they want. Mommy says us Southerners have lots of colorful ways to express ourselves. So, we’re just doin’ what comes naturally. MOL

Well sissy, did you see what Valentine and his mommy sent us as a fanky fank ya’?

Me sure did Raena. Mommy said she’d never seen such a cute little grass kit. We’d never heard of Maggies Micro-greens befur, but we can’t wait fur our grass to start growin’. Fank you so much Valentine, we do luv grass.

That’s fur sure sissy. I’s couldn’t hardly wait fur mommy to get it planted up. ‘Pawrently, we have to wait fur it to sprout now. Kinda like when mommy grows her salads in the Aerogarden.

Me sure hopes we don’t have to wait that long Raena. Fanks to awnty Anonymous, mommy’s got more salad greens to plant fur herself. Looks like we’ll all be eatin’ salads befur too long. MOL

Awnty Anonymous also sent mommy some more of that shelf stable milk so she could make more of that cheater mac and cheese. We really do ‘purreciate her. Mommy made a big ole plate last night.

Yep, and then you jumped on the counter right next to that hot burner. Oh Me Cats were you in trouble!!!

Yeah sissy, I’s guess I’s shouldn’t have done that. Mommy was so scared she was cryin’. And I’s never seen mommy move that fast, have you? Did you see her come runnin’ fur me?

Who could miss it Raena. Her arms were flailin’ thru the air and she was hollerin’ “Danger!!! Danger!!! Don’t step on that burner!!!”.

She snatched me up so fast mine’s head was spinnin’. I’s purrobably won’t be doin’ that again. MOL

Well Raena, me’s sure mommy will be happy to hear that. Ya’ know, there’s usually a reason fur the rules mommy makes. We might not always unnerstand, but mommy says they’re fur our own good and safety. You coulda got really hurt ifin you’d stepped on that hot burner. Me’s just glad mommy got to you befur anythin’ bad happened. Yet another blessin’ we’re fankful fur this week.

You’re right sissy. I’s a blest kitty fur sure. We’re so fankful fur all our furiends too. We live such blest lives.

We do Raena. And we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the blessings in your lives. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go play. Maybe we can watch our pail of cat grass grow. MOL

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

Blest Sunday: Hidden Blessings

Published on April 30, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.32 Comments

MeeeeeOW Welcome to a brand mew Blest Sunday. Ya’ll know how much we luv our Blest Sunday’s, and this week is no different. You know, sometimes the blessings are in your face and ya’ can’t miss ‘em. And sometimes, ya’ have to look a little harder fur them; but either way, they’re always there. As most of ya’ know, sis Raena’s furst birthday was last Furiday, and she got lots of gifts, that she’s sharin’ with me by the way; and we had a great pawrty. But the fun didn’t stop there. As ya’ll saw in our last posty, the gifts kept comin’.

They sure did sissy. I’s luvs birthdays. And I’s luvs, luvs, luvs our furiends.

Me does too Raena. And we’ve still got a birthday pizza comin’. Me really purreciates you waitin’ fur the weather to clear up so me can enjoy it too.

No purroblem sissy. It wouldn’t be the same ifin you wasn’t out to enjoy it too. Awnty Anonymous even sent enuff green papers fur mommy to get somethin’ to celebrate with us.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Well Raena, speakin’ of awnty Anonymous, we wanna say a meowsy big fank you again, cuz she sent mommy some more noms this past week. Mommy had actually spoke with her on the fone and knew these things were comin’, she just didn’t know when. So when the furst box arrived, mommy was taken by sur-purrise and as usual, she had a long fankful cry.

Those gifts and mommy’s noms would be the in your face blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout, right sissy?

That’s right Raena. But, we’ve also had some of those not so in your face blessings this past week.

Do tell sissy. I’s not know how you’re seein’ all these blessings while hidin’ out UTB (under the bed).

Me told you, me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s bein’ safe. And me wasn’t UTB the whole time. Me was drivin’ mommy to the bathroom every meownin’. And me came out to eat and play a few games and even nap a few times…till the thunder boomers started. Me was even doin’ really good this meownin’ till you jumped into the door tryin’ to get that birdy.

Well, who knew the door wasn’t gonna open. That birdy’s lucky I’s couldn’t get to it. Hoverin’ at our door tauntin’ me like that, it deserved whatever it was gonna get.

Yeah, Uh Huh, Sure. (Dezi licks her fur) Raena, the mighty huntress. Like you would’a even known what to do with that birdy ifin you could’a got to it.

Are you doubtin’ mine’s exceptional huntin’ skills sissy? Cuz you know mommy says I’s the greatest huntress in the house.

Mommy says a lot of things Raena. Ya’ notice she said in the house, and not somethin’ like, in the universe?.

I’s don’t know what you’re meowin’ ‘bout sissy. Mommy doesn’t lie. So all I’s know, is that I’s the Great Huntress. Now, let’s get back to those hidden blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout a minute ago.

Yeah, we better do that befur me says somethin’…

Anyways, as most of our furiends know, mommy had some complications from her recent oral surgery. After havin’ a loose stitch removed at her 2 week recheck, a hole opened inside mommy’s mouth up into her sinuses. Not only was it gross, aggravating and painful, it was also dangerous and could’a required a second surgery to close that hole. We asked our furiends to join us in purrayin’ that the hole would safely close on it’s own and that mommy would be okay. And guess what? The last couple of days have been pawsum. Ain’t nuffin’ comin’ outta mommy’s nose that isn’t s’posed too. She can brush her teeth, swish, gargle, eat and drink without worryin’ ‘bout it comin’ out her nose again. What a blessin’ that is. Mommy’s gonna have to check with the surgeon to see when she can purrceed with the rest of the work she needs done. And hopefully, we’ll have enuff green papers to finish all the work so mommy will feel all better.

Ifin mommy gets all better sissy, will she not need us to be Service Cats anymore?

No, Raena. Mommy will still need us to be Service Cats. The work we do doesn’t have anythin’ to do with mommy’s teeth purroblems. She’s always gonna need us Raena, don’t worry.

Fanky fanks sissy. I’s luvs mine’s life, mommy and you. I’s wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else.

You don’t ever have to worry ‘bout that Raena. When mommy told you it was furever, she meant it. Mommy also said it was a blessin’ to watch you experience all the fursts this year. Mommy said, at her age, she’s furgotten a lot of the wonders in life and nature. But watchin’ you get x’cited by the wind, or seein’ your furst birdy up close, or you tryin’ to smell the dandelion befur the wind blows it’s seed petals away remind her how purrecious and fragile this life is.

Did you see that wind sissy? It’s whoopin’ those trees ‘round like they ain’t even there. I’s didn’t think those ole branches could move like that. Mommy called it the dance of Spring.

Ya’ can’t actually see wind Raena. But me did see those branches dancin’ ‘round out there. Me can hear ‘em scrapin’ the roof too. Me just hopes they all stay on the trees and don’t break off and break anythin’. The point is, blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to take a minute and see ‘em. As we do every week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a moment today and every day to give Thanks fur the blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and sharin’ your lives with us.

Don’t furget ‘bout the Sunday Selfies with the Kitties Blue sissy. I’s gotta go back to the door and watch fur that birdy to come back.

See ifin you can find a sun puddle too Raena.

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

Blest Sunday: All Partied Out

Published on April 23, 2017April 23, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.44 Comments

MeOW Raena, did you enjoy your pawrty?

Oh sissy, I’s sure did!!! What fun. And so many of our pawsum furiends came by. I’s such a blest kitty girly.

Yep Raena, we sure are. Me had a great time too, even tho’ it is stormin’ here. Me’s gotta tell ya’, you looked so funny chasin’ those nip bubbles ‘round the house. Mommy even found one you missed this meownin’ when she sat down in the sittin’ lift chair.

Those bubbles sure are a lot of fun. All those red dot kitties don’t know nuffin’ ‘bout disappearin’ prey. Every time I’s thought I’d caught one, it was gone. One even hit me on the nose, but befur I’s could ketch it, it disappeared.

MOL Me saw that, Raena. We don’t play the red dot game here, cuz mommy says we’re too smart curious. ‘Stead of tryin’ to ketch the red dot, we go straight fur the source; the light in mommy’s hand. Mommy says that’s dangerous fur kitties to stare into the lasered red dot. But we did enjoy those bubbles.

Yeah sissy, it’s too bad mommy ran outta breath, cuz I’s sure was havin’ fun chasin’ all the bubbles.

Well, there was lots of bubbles still floatin’ ‘round in the air even after mommy ran outta breath. Me’s sure she’ll play the bubble game with us again. ‘Specially now that she knows we like ‘em.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I’s sure hope so sissy. Did you see all the cards I’s got yesfurday (blog links listed as comment)? And, I’s can’t wait till the weather clears up enuff fur us to have mine’s Birthday pizza. Awnty Anonymous sent mommy some green papers and told her to get us a Birthday pizza. But since you hang out UTB when it storms, mommy said we have to wait to have it, so you can enjoy it too. Maybe ya’ oughtta think ‘bout not hidin’ away so much.

Me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s just bein’ safe. All the news peeps say to stay away from windows and glass durin’ storms. So there. Me’s the smartest kitty in the house.

Yeah, Okay sissy, you’re not hidin’, you’re just bein’ “safe”. MOL

You won’t be laffin’ ifin any of those storms actually break our windows while you’re lookin’ out.

But sissy, that birdy that built her nest in one of mommy’s old pot baskets is so much fun to watch. Did you hear her callin’ mommy names the other day?

Me sure did Raena. Now that was funny. Mommy went out to trim the wisteria, and that ole momma bird was so mad. She flew into the big old oak tree in our front lawn and squawked and cackled at mommy the whole time she was out there. Guess she didn’t know that mommy would never hurt her babies. The really funny pawrt was when she came flyin’ in fur the attack when mommy was tryin’ to take fotos of her babies.

Oh sissy, that was funny. Mommy was tryin’ to swoosh her away with one hand and focus on the babies with the other. Mommy’s wanted to take more fotos, cuz the baby birds be growin’ so fast, but she doesn’t wanna face the wrath of momma bird again. MOL Mommy didn’t get any fotos of the momma bird. Mommy says she wouldn’t coopurrate. MOL

Yep Raena, mommys’ sure can be furocious when they’re purrtectin’ their young; no matter what size they are, or the purredators size.

You’re so right sissy. And mommy unnerstands that cuz that’s the way she feels ‘bout us.

Sure ‘nuff, Raena. We are blest to have such a pawsum mommy. Speakin’ of mommy, we need to update everypawdy ‘bout her complications. Ya’ know, we told everypawdy that mommy’s upper teeth has roots that were embedded in her sinuses. That’s not a good thing. But mommy was followin’ all the instructions and bein’ really careful, so when she went in fur her recheck, the surgeon was really purrleased with how well mommy was healing. But, she had a stitch that had been hangin’ down, and rubbin’ her tongue fur days. When the doctor looked at it, she said it was ‘bout to fall out, so she went ahead and removed it. They thought everythin’ was fine till the next meownin’. Altho’ thinkin’ it was a fluke, mommy didn’t call the doctor that day. And then the same thing happened off and on all last weekend. So furst thing Monday, mommy called the doctor to report that she now had an openin’ into her sinuses. ‘Pawrently, that stitch was holdin’ that hole closed.

I’s got really worried ‘bout mommy, sissy. Cuz she said it’s not just gross and aggravating, it also hurts. Fankfully, the dentist put mommy on another round of antibiotics, more Sudafed and told her not to blow her nose fur another 2 weeks.

Yep, Raena. They’re hopin’ the hole will close on it’s own so mommy won’t have to have another more serious surgery. And the antibiotics are to help make sure mommy doesn’t get an infection. Seems the Sudafed is harder to get than mommy’s purrscription meds. ‘Pawrently, the active ingredient is used a lot here to make meth. What does mommy know ‘bout meth and drug makin’? Anyways, mommy can only buy a certain nummer of boxes a day, week and month. And she has to sign fur them, and purrvide her drivers license and get her foto taken each time. One box lasts one day. Is that crazy or what? Me sure hopes she doesn’t have to take this stuff fur long.

Me too sissy. We’ve been so blest, that mommy hasn’t had any more purroblems, so we’re purrayin’ really hard fur this hole to close soon, so mommy can start feelin’ better and get on to the other bad teethies.

Yes we are Raena. And we’re so blest to have so many furtastic furiends to help us purray fur mommy. Every time we think ‘bout our furiends, we are so humbled to be so blest. From purrayers to luv and suppurrt and even gifts, we have the bestest furiends in the universe. We wanna remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. We’re gonna wrap it up now and get some rest. We’re all pawrtied out.

Speak fur yourself sissy. (Raena yawns) I’s not pawrtied out. MOL We’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

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

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.
