Ifin we only write one posty it automatically posts here by default, but parently when you write more than one dat be scheduled to go up at da same time…well catputers can’t think or read minds. MOL  You’ve gotta tell ‘em what to do kinda like a child. MOL  So here we are a little late, but we wuldn’t not celebrate a day set aside just fur da feline kind. Weez postin’ sum of our favorite moments in pictures. Check out da TCC fur more pawsum kitty cat fotos.

Da rules are purretty simple, post da award and link back to and thank da blogger who nominated you. Nominate 15 bloggers and comment on their blogs to let them know, and link back to da originating blog the Edge of Night. Da last rule is to give a brief intro as to how your blog got started and give any advice to new bloggers you might have. So now dat we’ve given ya’ da rules let’s get on with it.

Sum of you have already heard this story, but many of you haven’t. See when we furst got our catputer we knew nuffin’, less than nuffin’ really. Anyways, we was members of this now defunk cat site where we met Timmy and his brofur Buddy Budd. One day they asked ifin any kitty wuld like to guest write on their bloggy. Since sis Lexi had a facebook page mommy decided me kuld guest blog, so we replied dat we wuld luv to. Timmy gave us a link and said we needed to create an account to get started. Well a few clicks later and we suddenly had our own blog. We emailed Timmy and asked what we did wrong. He didn’t know where da errant click was, but dat day, February 18th, 2014, Deziz World was born. And we’ve never looked back. It’s been so much fun and we’ve enjoyed meetin’ so many more wonderful peeps and anipals. We can’t magine not havin’ a blog anymore. We didn’t stop followin’ Timmy around tho’ and now meez a purroud Cat Scout and sis lexi and me both are part of da Tabby Cat Club. Again, all thanks to Timmy and his family. Unkle Pete has helped mommy with catputer fings and helped with sis Lexi’s CKD care. Thanks dear furiends, we luv you all bunches.

So now fur a bit of advice. We wuld tell any new blogger to be true to yourself. Write fur you and enjoy it. Everypawdy has a story and their own unique way of tellin’ it. Don’t be discouraged by nasty comments or even a lack of comments. Comments will come and there’ll always be nasty peeps in da world. And as long as you’re havin’ fun so will your readers. And member, ifin you expect others to visit and comment on your blog, you need to visit and comment on theirs. We all purreciate the recognition of others when we put forth the effort to make a post.

So many of our furiends have already received this award and a lot of you don’t purrticipate, so we’ll just leave da nominations open. We purreciate all of you and fink all bloggers shuld be recognized fur their efforts. It does take a bit of courage to put your heart on da screen and let others see you and comment.

The Holidays Are Rollin’ In

Published on by Service Cats U.S.40 Comments

Well we wanna pawlogize fur makin’ sum of yous sad yesfurday. Unfurtunately da stowry we made up happens far to offen. And will continue to happen till da day society as a whole stawrts to value life, all life and learns dat pets not be fwo aways. Anyways we wanna talk a little today ‘bout halloween. We don’t celebwate this purrticular holiday but a lot of peeps do, and as wiff any holiday it comes wiff fun and dangers fur yous furry furmily member.

 dw-pmDeziorangeframe

Lots of ya’ like to dwess up yous pets in da latest costumes fur foto shoots and competitions. There’s nuffin’ wrong wiff dat ifin yous pet likes dat sort of fing and is comfurtable. Da doggies weally luv this one but most cats not so much. Altho’ sum of us kitties do like getting’ dwessed up, me be one of them. So go ahead and give it a twy. Ifin yous furry stwuggles too much, then STOP. Yous addin’ undue stwess and da fotos won’t look good anyways.

dw-pmLexipeachrose

Then there’s da pawrties. Lots of fun fur you but not so much fur yous furry. Lots of peeps and loud noises. Food and dwink and minglin’. Fur da “pawrty animals” Candy Is Not a food gwoup yous furry pal shuld be eatin’. Chocolate be bad fur all pets, but so awe all da udder sugary sweet substances. As well as most of da spices and ingwedients in human food. And booze…when was da last time you saw da Lion King havin’ a beer or margarita? Use sum common sense ifin nuffin’ else. And ifin yous furry wuldn’t eat it or dwink it in da wild, they purrobably shuldn’t be havin’ it at a pawrty.

 dw-pmLeximoontree

Now fur all da “wallflowers,” those animals who don’t like da pawrties; like us kitties. Purrvide us a safe haven away fwum all da hustle and bustle of da festivities. Put us in a room of our own wiff a closed door. Turn on sum soft music or da teevee to help drown out da pawrty goers. Don’t furget to give us sum food and water and a few toys. Maybe a bed; whatever makes us feel comfurtable and secure. Put a note on da closed door to alert yous guests dat we be in there and shuldn’t be disturbed. Remind yous guests regardless of whether yous pet be da center of attention or unseen and unheard, dat they shuldn’t be feedin’ us.

 dw-pmDezifire

Then there’s those pesky twick or tweaters. Make sure yous furry can’t escape everytime da door opens. It wuld be bestest to put us in our safe place fur all concerned, even yous furiendly, luv everypawdy doggy. Da ‘citement of da night can make any well twained furry furget their manners. And yous not wanna be sued cuz yous furry jumped on, bit or scwatched a twick or tweater.

And ifin yous got little ones dat you be takin’ out, use yous good judgement. Ifin da house don’t look furiendly, don’t send yous kids to da door. Check all da loot they bwing home to make sure nuffin’ has been tampurred wiff. Make sure yous kids don’t enter anypawdy’s house dat yous not know weally well, an it’s still bestest ifin yous accompany them. Fwo out all handmade tweats lessen yous purrsonally know where they came fwum. Better safe than sowry. Da world we live in isn’t always very nice. And purrlease keep yous solid black and solid white furry furiends inside. People awe cwuel at this time of year and those colors awe sought out by unscwupulous peeps. Yous’ll be able to relax an have more fun when yous not worryin’ ‘bout yous furry furmily.

Don’t Leave Me Alone

Published on by Service Cats U.S.40 Comments

Hi, my name is…well the lady that feeds me calls me Little Momma. I guess that’s my name. It wasn’t always tho’. I can barely remember anymore, but a long time ago when I was little I had a family and a home. I was loved so much. I was fed twice a day, everyday. I had toys and a bed and I watched all these other cats run around outside. They looked so sad and unkempt. My long silky furs got brushed everyday. I would never look like Those cats. My human adored me. I was her Princess. One day my human’s boyfriend moved in with us and now I had two humans to spoil me and take care of me. And then one day my human started to gain weight. She took up more room in the bed, but she still loved me.

Only she quit cleaning my litter box. And I could hear my humans voices raise when her old boyfriend, now husband was cleaning it. Something about how he worked hard all day and didn’t want to come home to have to clean out the cat box. Each night when they sat down to watch t.v. I would jump up in their laps and sleep. Suddenly they started pushing me away. One of the rooms got really busy. I don’t know why because they started closing the door and I couldn’t see in, much less get in. I waited outside the door one evening while my humans talked. I kept putting my paw under the door so they would know I was there, but they never let me in.

The next day I was put in my carrier and taken out to the car. I just knew I was going to that awful place with the white coats. That’s okay, I always got extra treats when we came home. My humans didn’t say a word while they drove. We drove for what seemed like forever before finally stopping. Wait…This doesn’t look like the white coat place? There’s nothing around here? What are we doing here? My humans didn’t even get out of the car. They pulled me out of my carrier and tossed me out the window and sped off. I was in shock and confused. I tried to follow them but they were already out of sight by the time I got up. It’s getting dark and it’s time for dinner. Please, come back I meowed. Don’t leave me out here alone. I sat at the clearing waiting for my humans to come and get me, but it just kept getting colder and darker and their was all kinds of scary sounds. I finally ran up the closest tree. Seems I remember those cats outside my windows did this when something was chasing them.

I spent the night in the tree till the next morning. Day broke but it was still cold and the wind was blowing. My silky furs looked awful and I think I had a mat. Something really hurt under my arm. I waited and watched but my humans never came back. I lost track of time. And if not for some of those kitties that grew up outside I probably would have died that first week on my own. There was a few other cats like me where my humans dropped me off. They hadn’t seen their humans in a long time, but knew where to get food and water and sometimes shelter when the freezing started. They taught me to not let any human get near me cause bad things would happen. I thought they must have been right cuz I had amazing humans and then they threw me out of a car window and left me.

 feral cat1

That’s been years ago now. I barely resemble the beautiful cat I once was. My fur isn’t silky anymore. It’s matted and dirty and hurts my skin. I’ve had lots of babies since then, many have died. Some were killed by those scary sounds coming from the trees that furst night. Some never made it across the street. And some…it gets sooooo cold in the winter. Well, there’s a lady here and she brings out food for all of us everyday. She seems nice enough, but I’ll never be fooled again. Once a Princess, now just another Little Momma.

 NationalFeralCatDay-Badge-10.16.2015

Today is National Feral Cat day. This stowry is mostly fiction. We say mostly cuz me just wrote it as if me was da kitty. But da twuff is, it kuld be any feral’s stowry. Not all feral cats was born outside. Da very furst ever feral cat was once sumpawdy’s princess. TNR helps to stop the repopulation of the feral colonies. It allows them to continue to live out there lives without the burden of breeding, fighting over breeding and territory and giving birth. But nuffin’ purrtects them fwum da dangers dat lurk outside. We wanna fank all those who care fur ferals everywhere. And fur all those who put up warm shelters fur them in da winter and fresh food and water fur them to eat and dwink. We purray da day comes when there awe no more ferals cuz all kitties have a luvving furever home.
