Well dat’s what mommy says she’s doin’ when she’s talkin’ but nopawdy’s listin’.

     Yep Raena they are dat fur sure. But we’s gonna meow ‘bout da contents of said box today. As ya’ know we’re Chewy Influencers and as such get products to try out every month. Well ya’ know how mommy’s always sayin’ how much she luvs us? This month there was a food called I and Love and You. With a name like dat, we just had to try it out. When it got here and mommy opened da furst can, she said, “Oh No.” She hadn’t seen anythin’ dat said it was a pate’, but sure ‘nuff, it is a pate’. No gravy in da can. There are lots of little specks of color what are veggies. But mommy knows we don’t eat pate’. Never da less, she put half in a plate fur me and half in a plate fur Raena and served it to us. Now befur we get to taste testin’ let’s tell ya’ a little more ‘bout this I and Love and You food.

It’s good fur all life stages. Now we seperated da ingredient list fur ya’ based on flavor. It’s much easier to read than da one on Chewy. Chewy.com lists these as da key benefits.  

Key Benefits

  • For all stages of life

  • Real meat is the first ingredient

  • Free of grain, corn, wheat, soy and rice

  • No artificial preservatives, flavors or colors

  • Free of carrageenan

  • Made in the USA

 Raena poses with a case of I and Love and You cat food

Notice these furmulas don’t contain any carrageenan, but they do have a lot of da gums. We do like dat it’s made in da USA and dat meat is da furst and really da second ingredient, as liver’s a protein fur us kitties. We also like dat it’s grain free with nuffin’ fake included. But ‘member, it’s a pate’. So let’s get back to da taste testin’. Me wouldn’t go near it. Mommy had to remove da plate befur me would eat anythin’ else. It really smells strong of fishies. And well, since Salmon oil is in all three furmulas, dat would make sense. Anyways, so me gives it a paw up fur good ingredients and bein’ made here in da US.

 I and Love and You cat food in the can

     Can I furinally meow again sissy? 

Yes Raena, tell everypawdy what you thought ‘bout da I and Love and You food. 

 I and Love and You cat food in a plate

     Fank you. I’s luvs it. Dat pate’ dislikin’ was you and Lexi, God rest her (Raena says reverently and quietly). I just might likes this pate’ stuffs. I did purrfur it when mommy added water to it so it had a little gravy, but I’s think it tastes really good. So I’s givin’ da I and Love and You noms 4 paws up. And Chewy gets 4 paws fur da box and packin’ paper too.

Raena, we’re not reviewin’ Chewy boxes. Altho’ me’s sure they’ll be happy to hear you liked da box, today’s all ‘bout da noms. Me asked mommy what she thought and like me she liked dat meat was da furst ingredient and dat it is made in da US. She isn’t crazy ‘bout all da gums or veggies, but was thrilled to find somethin’ else you would eat. So a thumb up from mommy too. Dat means 5 paws up and 1 thumb up fur I and Love and You. So ifin ya’ like pate’ foods with quality ingredients, give this a try.

Welcome to a brand new Blest Sunday. A while back, and me does mean a while back, we were tagged by da happiness “bug”. Now me ‘members Purrseidon, bein’ one of da bloggies, and Binky, and me thinks awnty Ellen of 15 and Meowing. But cuz mommy had so much goin’ on, she didn’t have time to help me put together a posty. Me thinks Blest Sunday is da purrfect day fur da Happy tag, so we’s gonna share it today. To accept da Happiness tag, we’re ‘posed to list 5 things dat make us happy, 5 songs dat make us happy and 5 bloggers dat make us happy. We’re then to notify said bloggers dat they’ve been tagged. Smile So let’s get on with it.

5 Things dat make us happy:

     Well nummer one on dat list is havin’ each other. Raena and me know we have da bestest mommy in da universe, and mommy says we’s da bestest girly’s in da universe. So, we all agree on dat one.

     And nummer two on dat list would be all of you. Ya’ll are da bestest furiends and furmily in da universe. Again, we all agree on dat one.

     Nummer three on our list is da roof over our heads. We are blest to have a place to call home.

     Nummer five is treats. Raena insisted on this one, and me agreed dat treats are a good thing.

 Raena lays on the pens for a selfie

 Treats? Did somepawdy say treats?

 

5 Songs dat make us happy:

     At da top of dat list is Amazing Grace.

     Second, are all da little songs dat mommy makes up and sings to us. Ifin me gets scared of somethin’ and hides and won’t come out, mommy can sing me a song and me will come runnin’.

     Third on our list is, Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand. When everythin’ ‘round us is changin’ and closin’ in on us, God never changes.

     Fourth, Sweet Beulah Land.

     And fifth is God on the Mountain. Altho mommy didn’t make it famous, she’s made it famous ‘round these pawrts. Anytime she’s out, peeps ask her to sing it.

A Sunshiney Furiday

Meowllo and welcome to a happy Sunshiney Furiday. Me told ya’ll last week dat we had received a few awards but hadn’t posted ‘bout them cuz mommy was too busy with other stuffs. So today, we’re gonna get to another of those pawsum awards. Our amazin’ furiends Purrseidon, Mr. M and quiet, shy Saphera bestowed on us da Sunshine Blogger Award. Fank you Purr, we’re honored.

 Dezi looks at the camera from the Liberty cat tree

Da rules fur acceptin’ da Sunshine Blogger award are to thank and link back to da bloggy what nominated you. We’ve done dat. Next we have to answer 11 questions asked by Purrseidon, come up with 11 questions of our own and pass them and da award along to 11 other bloggers. So let’s get to those questions.

 The Sunshine Blogger Award Badge

Where would you live if you could live wherever you wished?

     Me and Raena both agreed it doesn’t matter where we live so long as we always live with mommy.

 

What is your favorite holiday?

     Well, till we joined social media, da only holidays we really celebrated was Christmas and Birthdays. Little Raena hasn’t celebrated any holidays yet (We don’t celebrate da 4th), but me ‘magines her favorite is gonna be Christmas just like me.

Dezi in a Santa Suit including the hat

What is the top thing on your bucket list?

     Me had to ask mommy what a bucket list is Purr, and me discovered we don’t have one. Ifin we was gonna make one, da only thing on it would be to meet all our wonderful furiends from da innernet.

 

What is your favorite book?

     Da only book mommy reads to us is da Bible, so dat would be our favorite. We do luv da stories of Jesus.

 

What is your favorite movie?

     Me’s not much fur movies, and Raena likes everythin’ on da teevee, so we asked mommy what her favorite movie was, and she said she has always luvved Where the Red Fern Grows.

 

If you could take your ideal vacation, where would you go?

     As chaotic as it was, we would luv to go to BlogPaws or any of the other big animal conventions.

 

If you had three wishes, what would they be?

     Our furst wish would be to have sis Lexi back with us, healthy and whole. We know dat would never happen, but it would be our wish. Our second wish is dat all kitties had luvvin’ furever homes like we do. Our third wish would be dat we all, animals and humans, could live together peacefully.

 

Do you speak more than one language, too?

     Well we speak cat and some human English. Mommy speaks English, some Spanish, Some Hebrew, Some Greek, and a teeny bit Italian. She’s also fluent in Cat.

 

What is your favorite color?

     Purrple is of course our favorite color. We also like blue, and animal print. Is dat a color mommy?

What’s your favorite way to relax?

     Our favorite way to relax is to lay on mommy’s lap.

Raena sleeps in mommy's lap

What is your favorite treat?

     Me’s favorite treat is freeze dried chicken breast. Raena really luvs freeze dried chicken hearts.

So there ya’ have it, our answers to all those questions. Those were some really great questions, so we’re gonna pass them along to our nominees. And this is where it gets tricky. Every blog we follow, read, and/or comment on brings a little sunshine to our day. So there’s no way we could limit this to just 11 blogs. And of course, cuz we’re late postin’, a lot of you have already received it. So here’s what we’re gonna do. Ifin ya’ haven’t received da award, purrlease take it and answer da same questions we did. And remember, you all bring sunshine each day.

An Oversized Blest Sunday

Hey, are ya’ there? Sis Dezi told me to welcome ya’ to a new Blest Sunday befur I did anythin’ else, so welcome. It’s fur sure a Blest Sunday. I’s blest to be alive and meowin’ at ya’ at all after da Furiday I’s had. Let me tell ya’. Those peeps tried to KILL me!!! Sure nuff, they wanted your cute little fluffy girl d-e-a-d, DEAD!!! But befur I’s gets to dat, I’s do wanna fank God and Hims pawsum angels again fur makin’ sure we had air conditionin’ in da car. It was some kinda hot and I don’t think I’s woulda made it without dat nice cool air.

 Raena chillin'

As ya’ may ‘member from some of our fotos, I’s been takin’ a few local strolls ‘round our ‘pawrtment complex since I’s gotten a little bigger. So this was mines furst time to really travel in style. Well mommy says travelin’ in style also has to be done safely, so dat meant harnessin’ up so I’s could be tethered in to da stroller. Well, I’s not gotten dat much bigger. Mommy found one of da smaller harnesses dat sissy got from dat rescue group one Christmas, and did her bestest to make it fit me. So, I’s went out sportin’ da new oversized look. Mommy insists I’s tell ya’ dat this was mines furst time ever bein’ in a harness much less with a leash attached. This is somethin’ mommy generally spends time trainin’. She says I’s a natural. So anyways, let’s get back to da killer peeps called VETs.

Raena looks at the camera from inside the stroller

Raena making headlines in the newspaper about her oversized fashion sense

As ya’ll may ‘member, these vaccinations haven’t been very nice to me so far. I’s been really sick after every visit, and last time was da worstest. Mommy was really scared I’s was gonna die. I’s gotta tell ya’, I was purretty scared too. Not only was I sick from da shots but I’s also had dat heat exhaustion from bein’ in da hot car. Well fank God I’s didn’t have dat to worry ‘bout this time, so I’s figgered a quick trip in to be mauled and poked and mommy and me would be off to get me some special treats and have peeps swoon over me. After all, I’s was in mines new oversized fashion wear. I’s did look rather cute ifin I’s do say so mines self. When we arrived, fank catness there was none of those big whiney, nosy doggy’s in da waitin’ room. Matter of fact, there was no one there at all. Guess dat shoulda been mines furst clue dat it was gonna be a bad day. They had nuffin’ but time to torture me.

 Raena posing at the vets

Furst up was da big scale, where I’s weighed in at just over 3 pounds. 3 pounds 1 ounce to be exact. I’s growin’ up. Anyways, we then headed to a room where mommy decided it was time fur an impurr-omptu foto shoot of me in minez oversized pink fashion dress. We were rudely innerupted by da lady in da white coat and her assistant. Seems Dr. C’s new VET is takin’ over more and more. Well da assistant purromptly grabbed me outta mommy’s hands and scruffed me. Looka’ here, just cuz I’s a Ragdoll with a docile nature doesn’t give ya’ da right to be mean. And it certainly doesn’t give ya’ da right to take me from mines mommy. She gotta hiss and a bitey fur her trouble. Hmmfft  Guess she’ll know better next time. While I’s scurried back to mommy, things seemed to be takin’ a turn fur da better when da doctor started cooin’ over me in mines purretty pink oversized dress.

 Raena looking around the vets exam room

Then mommy turned me ‘round so they could have a look at mines eye, cuz it isn’t really getting’ better and I’s been on dat medicine fur a while now. Da VET asked mommy a question, and she took her hands off me fur a second to look fur a foto in da camera and da tech grabbed me up again. Then I’s got stuck. Not once, but twice. And da second time had pink stuffs squirtin’ everywhere. Yep, they missed me again, and gave mines fur a shot. It’s no wonder they charge so much with all they waste on fur shots. Then she stuck me again!!! Dat one hurted. Mommy says it was da rabies one. But let me tell ya’, they was so mad ‘bout me hissin’ and bitin’, they decided to kill me right then and there. Yep, right in front of mommy.

 Raena sitting pretty

They pulled mines skin up so high you could see mines bones and then stuck me with a torturous gigantor needle. I’s let out a scream dat fur sure was heard ‘round da world. Okay, maybe not da world, but fur sure da whole buildin’ complex where da VET office is located. I’s squirmed and bit every finger and hand  and pawrently a purrivate pawrt or two dat came anywhere near me. Then I’s felt a way to break free and hurried to mines cryin’ and screamin’ but comfurtin’ mommy. She wrapped me in her arms and held me so tight dat I knew she was gonna purrtect me, and then I’s went limp from shock. Cuz of da shock I’s couldn’t see or hear anythin’, but I’s know mommy was givin’ them what fur. There’s no way she was gonna let them KILL her baby girly. Nope, mines mommy wouldn’t let anypawdy hurt me. But they wasn’t finished. They came at me with this big ole machine gun next, and mommy pulled me even tighter. I’s heard a beep, but they musta been outta bullets. Fank catness, cuz they woulda got mommy too. Well, I’s looked up at mommy’s tear stained face and she kissed me and told me everythin’ was gonna be alright and dat nopawdy would ever hurt me like dat again. Then she said we was gonna go get me a treat. Somethin’ special just fur me. I’s wasn’t even gonna have to share it.

Raena looking around at the vets

Don’t none of you touch me again, ya’ hear? Me’s mommy’ll get ya’ ifin ya’ do.

 

 

We went out to da waitin’ area to pay, and I was gonna warn any anipals there to run fur their lives, but alas, da place was still empty. They gave mommy a piece of paper and told her to register it when she got home, and she told them she knew all ‘bout it, cuz sis Dezi was registered there too. They said somethin’ like mikey chips. I’s don’t know, I was just ready to go. Then mommy started cryin’ again. Seems somethin’ ‘bout da $116.08 charges meant they had to be paid in full. So fur some reason they wouldn’t let her charge mines visit and she had to use some of da monthly bills money so we could leave. We were furinally able to get outta dat death trap, but I’s gotta tell ya’… I’s never wanna go back there again. When we got out to da car, mommy opened a bag of treats we won from our furiends at Three Chatty Cats in a little cats helpin’ big cats give away. I’s munched down, and we was off.

Raena sleeping off the dat at the vet

This was me sleepin’ after we got home. those shots just do me in.

 

I couldn’t wait to tell sis Dezi all ‘bout how they had mistreated and tried to kill me. Fankfully she’s a great big sissy and told me not to worry, mommy would never let dat happen and dat I’s was gonna be okay. She even kissed mines head and patted mines sore hiney. I was a little sickly and lethargic fur a couple days, but no fever and I’s did eat. I’s feelin’ all better now. But, mommy’s gotta put these eye drops in mines eyes now. 3 times a day. Yep 3 times a day she’s droppin’ somethin’ in mines eye. They seem to be feelin’ better, but I’s not like it one bit. Mommy says we’s gonna save da rest of our trip fur tomorrows Service Cat posty cuz it addresses some issues we wanna talk about and some of da questions we were asked after last weeks posty. 

 Dezi hanging in the Liberty cat tree

I sure wanna fank all of ya’ fur bein’ our furiends and purrayin’ fur me. We are truly blest to have such pawsum furiends. And I’s blest to have such a pawsum mommy and sisfur. Mommy says God looks out fur His children, and I’s believe it. Take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your lives. I know you’ll find ‘em. Oh and sissy also told me to tell ya’ dat even tho’ we didn’t take any selfies this week, we’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur da Sunday Selfies. Go by and check ‘em all out. And…

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