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.

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

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!!!

Blest Sunday: Blessings Floor To Ceiling And Beyond

Published on July 22, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.30 Comments

Dezi: MeOW HiSsssssssss RaenaBelle!!! Quit jumpin’ on me!!!

Raena: I’s didn’t jump on you sissy, I’s jumped over you. I’s was in a hurry to get to the purrch. I’s thought I’s saw somethin’ outside.

Dezi: Ya’ still need to stop. How many times has mommy told you to slow down Raena? Besides, it’s Blest Sunday and was time fur brekky. What ifin mommy had a been tryin’ to bring us our plates at that very minute? Y, All our food would’a ended up on the floor. We’re not heathens, we don’t eat off the floor.

Meow fur yourself sissy, sometimes I’s find all kinds of yummy things on the floor. Y, Just the other day mommy dropped a piece of cheese in the kitchen when she was makin’ her smashed tater with cheese. Ifin I’s hadn’t grabbed it up when I’s did, she would’a throwed it in the trash. What a waste that would’a been. I’s luvs me some cheese. Ya’ know our china platters are fine, but I’s not gonna miss an oppurr-tunity to eat me somethin’ tasty just cuz it’s not served with silver and gold trimmins. See, sometimes you can find Blessings on the floor. Just be careful it’s food and not a bug.

(Dezi shakes her head) Oh Raena, sometimes me just doesn’t know what to do with you.

Oh sissy, just luvs me. You know you were just like me once. Mommy says so. She says when you were young you couldn’t wait fur her to open the door in the meownin’ and put the purrch in front of it. She says you used to sit on it fur hours and chirp and chortle at anythin’ that came by.

Yeah Raena, me did. It seems so long ago now. It also seems like there was more to see back then. We used to have stray kitties and all kinds of wildlife play on our porch. It’s gotten so hot, ain’t nuffin’ outside doin’ much of anythin’. Y, just last night it was still 104°F at 9:30 p.m.. That’s just too hot.

Yep sissy, it is. You’d think the old bobcat and the coon family would be knockin’ on our door askin’ fur food. It’s gotta be too hot to hunt.

Me’s been wonderin’ where they were Raena. We haven’t seen either of ‘em all season. Maybe when it starts coolin’ off in a couple of months they’ll show up. Fankfully, we furinally got a new lease signed. Our rent went up $30.00, so mommy may have to put her dentures on hold fur a bit. It takes quite a bit of gas to get there every week and she’s been drivin’ on fumes the last couple times. With more money we don’t have goin’ to rent and nowhere to take green papers from, that drive is purretty much the only thing left to cut.

Well sissy, I’s guess that’ll give her more time to try to fix the mess the manager made and figger out what they can and can’t do befur it all starts again. Ya’ know the manager told mommy that they’re gonna be “rehabing” these ‘pawrtments soon and that they’re gonna wanna do a move out and then move us back in and start all this again in just a few months. Mommy told ‘em they couldn’t do that cuz she has a years lease, and utilities that be in her name that she has to pay each month. While she might not have had to put down a depawsit, those companies charge to turn it on and move it and stuffs. Not to mention the stress mommy’s just went thru. We fur sure can’t be doin’ this again that soon. We all need time to recupurrate.

Yeah Raena, the way they treat us just ain’t right. It’s not like we’re poor and need help by choice. And mommy certainly ain’t disabled by choice. Ifin mommy could change our situation, she would in a heartbeat. Our mommy ain’t afraid of work. Y, Befur her accident, she worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time to make sure she could affurd everythin’ she needed and wanted.

I’s heard sissy. She says she was young and dumb back then and didn’t save, so that’s why we’re in the shape we’re in now. Altho’ I’s know mommy wishes she could do more and could give us more, and had more money, I’s glad things happened the way they did. Y, ifin they hadn’t who knows where you and me would be? We might not have ever been saved?. I’s don’t even wanna think ‘bout what it would have been like ifin mommy hadn’t showed up and whisked me away to this Blest life.

Me neither, Raena, me neither. We might not be rich by the standards the world uses, but when it comes to luv, we’re bazillionaires.

You got that right sissy. We’ve got the bestest mommy ever, altho’ we know all of you think you’ve got the bestest pawrent, and that’s okay. And meowin’ of all of ya’, we can’t ‘magine a life without you.

Me’s oil painting selfie

We wouldn’t want to Raena. We have the bestest furiends in the whole universe. God smiled on us the day we met you, our dear furiends, and we ask Him each and every day to keep and Bless you and your families. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to stop and see ‘em.

Mine’s oil painting selfie

So true sissy, so true. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go get us some mommy luvvin’. But furst, I’s wanna meow Fanky fank You God, fur all our blessings. And fanky fank all of you fur bein’ pawrt of our Blessings each day.

Me seconds that Raena. C’mon, me will race ya’ to mommy’s lap.

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

Blest Sunday: Fearless And Mighty Blessings

Published on July 8, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.28 Comments

MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Time to count our many Blessings fur the week. In spite of all the boom, boom, booms of fireworks, no kitty spent any time UTB (under the bed) here. We quite surpurrised mommy. Me thinks there were a couple of times when she was actually holdin’ her breath and tryin’ to purrtend she didn’t hear anythin’ so we’d ignore it too. Our town put on their little big fireworks extravaganza last night. The boomers seemed to go on furever, but we just ignored them and chilled with mommy.

Yep sissy, mommy was quite purrleased with us. I’s even caught her smilin’ once when she thought we weren’t lookin’. I’s don’t know why she was surpurrised tho’, nuffin’ scares me.

Oh yeah, the big bad brave RaenaBelle, conqueror of all in her teeny big world. Hmmmmmpht Some times you can be a real show off. There’s nuffin’ wrong with bein’ scared now and then. Fear can be a good thing. Ya’ know, like bein’ ‘fraid of mommy’s jet ski sized feet steppin’ on your tail or her’s jumbo hiney splattin’ ya’ when she falls. Bein’ ‘fraid means you know when to get outta the way.

Why would ya’ be ‘fraid of mommy, sissy? She’d never hurt us.

‘Course not Raena, least not on purr-puss. But, sometimes she doesn’t watch where she’s steppin’, and you know she doesn’t have any control over where she lands when she falls. A little fear never hurt any kitty.

Whatever sissy, I’s purrfur mine’s way better. I’s trust mommy no matter what.

Well Raena, that’s why you got your tail stepped on the other day.

To be honest sissy, it wasn’t actually mine’s tail she stepped on. She only caught a few strands of the tippy end of mine’s tail furs. Besides, she cried and ‘pawlogized and gave me lots of extra luvvin’ afterwards. We would have even got some treats but you know we’re not eatin’ ‘em cuz she bought out the store. What kitty wants cheap treats when there’s purrlenty in the house? Anyways, we’re s’posed to be countin’ our Blessings. I’s meow our furst Blessing is that we have a pawsum luvvin’ furever home. This past week it’s been hotter than a fryin’ pan, stormed and raged and been full of silly humans pawppin’ those fireworks; and we didn’t have a care in the world. We were inside with the cool a/c loungin’ ‘bout and enjoyin’ the good life.

Ain’t that the truth Raena. And fanks to awnty Vonda, we had a bar-b-que sammich, smashed taters with cheese and a watermelon fur our celebration.

Oh sissy, that bar-b-que sammich was so tasty. I’s fanky fankful mommy shared, but I’s could’a ate a whole sammich mine’s self. I’s didn’t have any of the taters, but I’s do luvs me some cheese. And, that was mine’s furst ever watermelon. It was really purretty yummy too. Who’d’ve thought we kitties would like such a thing?

Yep Raena, watermelons are purretty tasty, but me sure does have to pee a lot after eatin’ ‘em. Mommy says they’re one of her favorite foods. We used to have ‘em every summer when me was a kitten. Anyways, we had a great celebration. Me hopes all our furiends did too. We were reminiscin’ this past week ‘bout our lives befur we got a catputer and innernet. We are so Blest to have met so many amazin’ peeps and anipals, and we never wanna go back to the way things were befur.

We sure don’t sissy. I’s wasn’t even alive in those days. But, I’s can’t ‘magine what mine’s life would be like without all our furiends, and I’s don’t even wanna try.

Me neither Raena, me neither. Hey, did you see where mommy read that story ‘bout coffee?

You mean the one that said peeps who drink coffee appear to live up to 5 years longer than peeps who don’t drink coffee? Yep sissy, I’s saw that. I’s guess we might oughtta let her enjoy a cup ever once in a while, huh?.

Uh, Maybe you oughtta heed your own meows Raena. After all, it wasn’t me inneruptin’ her the last couple of meownings. Me was purrfectly happy to let her finish a cup while it was still hot.

Well sissy, ifin you had used the litter box ‘stead of the piddle pad, I’s wouldn’t have had to ask her to clean it up right away. Anyways, she made another cup, so technically she got to finish her coffee. Let’s wrap this up, I’s wanna play.

‘Course you do Raena. Don’t you ever get tired? (Raena grabs a nip filled mouse and runs through the house chortlin’ and chirpin’.) Guess that answers that one. We’d like to fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. We luv you all very much. We’d also like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life.

(Raena runs to the living room and stops briefly) Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

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.
