Blest Sunday: Thankful Blessings

Published on October 28, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

MeOW Me’s been busy with the annual Cat Scout jamboree fur the last week. It’s always great fun, but me’s glad it’s over and things can settle down a bit again. Ifin you’ve ever wanted to be a pawrt of somethin’ bigger than yourself and make lastin’ furiendships with others like you, then you should check it out. Cat Scouts is furee to join. It’s gone thru a lot of changes since me furst joined, but the furiendships me’s made there have only gotten stronger. But, me is happy to be getting’ back to normal now. And what better way, than with Blest Sunday, don’t you agree Raena?

This is me’s patrol, the Powerful Paws.

Yep sissy, I’s glad too. Kittens!!! Dinner was late almost every night. I’s don’t know what ya’ll be doin’ ‘round the campfire, since you won’t let me join, but just cuz ya’ll be havin’ virtual cook outs doesn’t mean mine’s real tummy don’t get hungry.

Purrlease Raena, dinner wasn’t that late. It’s not like you’re starvin’. Have you ever actually missed a meal? Me thinks not. Mommy does everythin’ she can to make sure we have purrlenty to eat. You know there are lots of kitties in the world that don’t have that security. They’d gladly swap places with you.

That’s okay sissy. I’s don’t wanna swap places with any kitty. I’s livin’ the good life, even when dinner’s 10 minutes late.

Meowin’ of the good life Raena, what happened to you last night?

Wha’d’ya’ mean sissy?

You know, when you were sleepin’ all sound like atop the liberty tree and suddenly jolted and flew off the top of the tree and skedaddled thru the house and unner the table. You scared mommy and me half to death. Did you have a bad dream or somethin’?

Oh sissy, it was just horrible. Ya’ know, that tree’s really high. I’s kind’a wish I’d thought ‘bout it a bit befur launchin’ mine’s self into the air. I’s don’t think we kitties were meant to fly.

Well, ya’ hit the nail on the head with that one Raena. What was your furst clue, the lack of wings or your crash landin’? Me’s gotta tell ya’, me’s not sure me’s ever seen your eyes look quite that big befur. And me fur sure don’t like hearin’ that much panic in mommy’s voice. She was so worried you’d hurt yourself or somethin’.

Yeah, I’s didn’t like it too much either sissy. Fanky fankfully, I’s only got a few bruises. Ya’ can’t see ‘em fur the fur, but I’s assure you, they’re there. I’s don’t ever wanna do that again.

Me’s sure me’s meowin’ fur mommy too Raena, when me meows, we don’t want you to that again either. Me’s just glad you’re okay. ‘Specially since you’re plannin’ me’s pawrty. You know me’s actual birthday is this comin’ Fursday, right?

I’s know sissy. And mommy’s purromissed to get us some special treats fur that day cuz of your birthday and cuz mine’s surgery has been moved up to that day too. Mommy called doctor stabby and grabby and he agreed to go ahead with mine’s surgery and let us pay what we’ve already raised and pay off the rest as it comes in. We’re so Blest to have such amazin’ furiends. I’s a little scared, but knowin’ so many peeps luvs me sure is comfurtin’.

Yep Raena, me’s heart is so full thinkin’ ‘bout all the furiends we’ve made and how we all luv and suppurrt each other not just durin’ the good times, but also the bad. Ya’ know, a true furiend is the one who doesn’t abandon you when life throws ya’ a curveball.

That’s a great way to put it sissy. I’s wanna say a meowsy big fanky fank you fur helpin’ me have mine’s surgery to awnty Claire, Zorro and Pixie, awnty Theresa, awnty Kerry and Valentine, awnty Susan M, awnty Susan C, and awnty Ava. Ifin you’d like to help, you can donate here. And a huge fanky fank you to all of you fur your purrs and purrayers. I’s would ‘purreciate a few extra come Fursday November 1st. Mommy says we have to be there t’ween 7:30 and 8:15 that meownin’. Looks like we’ll be stayin’ up all night Wednesday and she’ll be havin’ coffee at the V-E-T. Maybe they’ll even have donuts.

Me will be purrayin’ fur ya’ Raena. Even ifin it means me has to miss a meal. You can’t eat anythin’ after midnight, so guess what? That means me won’t get anythin’ either. Hmmmpht The sacrifices me makes fur you.

I’s do ‘purreciate you fur doin’ that sissy.

Like me has a choice. Those better be really delicious treats ya’ll bring home. Me knows mommy luvs coffee and donuts, but me’s wants somethin’ way better than that.

I’s sure mommy will get us somethin’ really tasty sissy. Don’t worry. All this meowin’ ‘bout food’s got me hungry. I’s gonna go finish eatin’ mine’s brekky. Gotta keep up mine’s strength ya’ know.

Me luvs you mommy.

Me too Raena. Me’s right behind ya’. 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 we wanna fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. And don’t furget to send us your fotos fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday pawrty.

Blest Sunday: A New Day A New Blessing

Published on September 30, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.27 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. It’s time to get outta the window and count our Blessings.

Raena: What are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy? I’s not in the window. Last time I’s checked, this was a door. And technically, I’s not in it. MOL

Dezi: Okay miss smarty pantaloons, get away from the door and let’s get to work.

Raena: Work? I’s didn’t hear mommy ask fur anythin’. What do we need to do?

Dezi: Not that work silly. Me meant it’s time to write our posty. (Dezi shakes her head) Sometimes, you’re not the crispest cracker in the box. Guess it’s a good thing you got the purretty gene. We can’t all be purretty and smart like me.

Raena: Huh? Somehow sissy, I’s thinkin’ you’re not actually payin’ me a compliment. But, it’s Blest Sunday, so I’s not gonna fight with ya’ today. I’s am purretty. Mommy even says I’s gawjus. When God started passin’ out the purretties, I’s got in line twice.

Dezi: RaenaBelle Mayce…Girl, you’ve gotta stop watchin’ so much tv. You’re startin’ to sound as silly as some of the peeps on those shows you like.

Raena: But sissy, you can learn so much from tv. Altho’ ya’ have to be careful what ya’ watch. Mommy says even regular tv is usin’ a lot of HBO words these days. Anyways, did you see that cool runnin’ wheel fur kitties the other day? I’s want one. I’s think it would be so much fun.

Dezi: You would Raena. Me thinks it would be lots of fun to watch you runnin’ in place. Maybe it would tire you out a bit so you’d pester me less. Hmmmmmm Me needs to mention this to mommy. A kitty wheel fur sure needs to be on our Christmas wish list. Anyways, me wanted to meow ‘bout how the weather started to cool off some this past week. Cooler weather means me has more energy. (Dezi stops and thinks for a minute) ‘Course, it also means you have more energy too. Yep, we fur sure need one of those wheels.

Raena: I’s enjoyin’ the cooler weather too sissy. Ifin it would stop rainin’ so much we could go fur some nice strolls with mommy. I’s luvs mommy and me time soooooo much. I’s count mommy as mine’s biggest Blessing every single day. You’re mine’s second Blessing and our furiends are mine’s third. Every Blessing after that is just the bonito flakes over rabbit.

Dezi: You’re right Raena, we are indeed very Blest kitty girls. We actually received one of those other Blessings this week. We wanna say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Susan fur the green papers and her furiendship. We fank God fur bringin’ us and mommy together and makin’ it pawssible fur us to meet so many amazin’ peeps and anipals. And, while me may not like thunderstorms and rain, me’s fankful fur it cuz it makes the purretty flowers bloom and the air smell furesh. Blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to open our eyes and see ‘em.

I’s luvs you too mommy.

Raena: That’s so true sissy. Every meownin’ when we wake up mommy smiles. She can’t even move yet, but she looks over at us and smiles and says fanky fank you to God. Mommy says just wakin’ up to a new day is a Blessing. It makes me so happy that I’s turn on mine’s motor boat full blast. MOmmy says it’s like she has a vibrating bed. I’s don’t know zactly what that means, but I’s do know it makes mommy happy and that’s all I’s care ‘bout.

Me’s mommy. Life is good.

Dezi: Me too Raena. Let’s wrap this up. Me heard mommy say somethin’ ‘bout a foto shoot. Befur we go, 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, fank you fur bein’ a Blessing in ours.

Raena: Don’t furget ‘bout our selfies with the Kitties Blue, sissy.

Dezi: How could me furget Raena? You’re always there to remind me.

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

Blest Sunday: The Smallest Blessings Are The Best

Published on September 16, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Dezi: MeOW Hissssssssss (Dezi heaves and convulses atop the liberty cat tree and stretches her neck)

Mommy A: Dezi, Come down from there!!! Use a piddle pad baby. Don’t hurl all over the place. I haven’t even had a cup of coffee yet.

Raena: (Raena sits in front of the bathroom looking down the hall towards Dezi heaving on the cat tree) And I’s not had brekky yet sissy. (Raena runs back to the kitchen where mommy’s preparing breakfast and her coffee and lays down in front of the fridge)

Dezi: (Dezi heaves one last time and out comes a hair ball. She then climbs down from the cat tree and sits at the edge of the kitchen watching mommy prepare breakfast. Dezi cleans her paws and face) Hurry mommy, me’s hungry. And, it’s Blest Sunday. We’ve got lots to do today.

Raena: I’s bet you are hungry sissy. Wasn’t that dinner there with that hairball? You know, when humans hurl after their meals it’s a sickness.

Dezi: It’s not the same fur kitties Raena. But you’re right, it is a sickness. We have no way of knowin’ ifin any of our furiends might be dealin’ with this or not, but ifin you are, purrlease stop. You are luvved and Blest and purrfect just the way you are. (The girls watch mommy grab some papertowels and cleaner and head for the cat tree and hairball mess) Mommy, clean it up later, me’s hungry now.

Raena: You should’a waited till after mommy served brekky and got in the sittin’ chair sissy. Now we have to wait till she cleans up. We’re never gonna get brekky now. It’ll be more like brunch. You really should use the piddle pads; clean up’s much quicker.

Dezi: Whatever. Anyways, as me was meowin’, it’s Blest Sunday. We luv countin’ our Blessings ‘round here, don’t we Raena.

Raena: Sure nuff sissy. We saw this post on facebook the other day that was listin’ Blessings. Not the big ones that peeps normally think ‘bout, but the every day Blessings, like a roof over our heads and food in our bellies and the likes.

Dezi: Yep Raena, sometimes the littlest Blessings are actually the bestest Blessings. So many peeps and anipals don’t have a place to call home, and so many of us take ours fur granted. A new season the bad kitties show just started up and while we were watchin’ an episode the other night, me was reminded just how Blest we are. Even tho’ me hurled all over the place this meownin’ befur mommy even had a cup of coffee, me never once thought she might get rid of me.

Raena: That’s true sissy. I’s wish every kitty could have the security we do. Maybe we should do somethin’ fur mommy. You know, to show her how much we luvs and ‘purreciate her. I’s wish we could throw a pawrty or somethin’ fur mommy and all our furiends. A huge get together where everypawdy could laff and have fun. And spend a day not worryin’ ‘bout anythin’. Wouldn’t that be cool?

Dezi: It would Raena. But, since that’s not likely to happen, we should just remind all our furiends how much we luv and ‘purreciate them. Mommy says you never know what tomorrow may bring, so you should tell those in your life how much you luv them as offen as you can.

Raena: I’s luvs hearin’ mommy tell us she luvs us, don’t you sissy? I’s could hear those 3 words all the time and never get tired of it. Meowin’ of luvs and ‘purreciation, we wanted to meow fanky fank you to awnty Vonda fur the green papers. She told mommy to get her somethin’ special to eat now that she has her new teethies. I’s can’t wait to see what mommy gets cuz I’s sure she’s gonna share at least a few bites with us.

Fank you fur not bein’ mad that me hurled everywhere, mommy.

Dezi: Me hopes she gets somethin’ tasty Raena. Anyways, meowin’ of tasty, we should wrap this up and go eat brekky. As we do each week, 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 we’d like to Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

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

Dezi: Always havin’ the last meow Raena. (Dezi shakes head)

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.

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

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.
