To Dezi…With Love

Sweet sweet Dezi. My heart and my soul…my destiny. My precious angel you could have never known how I felt the day I met you. My heart had been ripped out of my chest just days earlier when I lost Ransom. The third boy, no…son that I had lost at the age of five. I swore as He drifted off to heaven that I would never give my heart away again. I just couldn’t bare going through this again. And I thanked God that Lexi was waiting for me, to comfort me. She would fill that hole and be enough. I knew that I would have to get a new kitty to help Lexi help me, and that kitty would be well taken care of. But I wouldn’t lose my heart to them. Of course Lexi had gotten older and needed help quickly. It broke my heart to see her trying so hard to do the work that 2 kitties had done for the past 5 years. And then the phone rang.

 dw Baby Dezi

On the other end of the line was a dog rescuer begging for my help. They had taken in a large litter of Ragdoll kittens from a very bad breeder. They knew my situation and I’m sure they thought I’d take at least 1 kitten home. And of course I made the 2 hour drive to meet you all. And the whole way there I kept telling myself I wasn’t going to fall head over heels. When I arrived I was given the back story, and although touching, having been in rescue for so long and already grieving, it didn’t phase me much. I was told y’all were 6 weeks old, weaned and using the litter box. They led me to a big empty room and brought a small Easter basket filled with kitties into the room. You were all poured into the floor and I thought you all looked way too small to be 6 weeks old. But they had gotten papers that said just that. And then you came waddling over with your worm filled belly and struggled to crawl up onto my leg only a few inches off the floor but towering over you. Your litter mates all huddled close together and played with each other. But you had no interest in being anywhere but on my leg. And then you looked up at me with those big deep blue eyes and started to purr and mew and I knew you were my destiny. It was meant to be. I wouldn’t admit it, but I was falling in love with you.   

 0dw Baby Dezi TG

I picked you up and we made the long drive home. You lay quietly only purring the whole way. Once home it was then I realized you weren’t 6 weeks old but 3 1/2 to 4 weeks instead. You were half dead from being over wormed with big box store wormers and you had a horrific case of tapeworm instead. These were all things I had dealt with many times, so once I called the rescue to make sure your littermates were properly cared for we set in for the long haul. Over the next few days and weeks and months I didn’t realize how you were purring your way right into my heart. You always wanted to be able to see me. You didn’t seem to miss your littermates at all. And you always wanted me to be seated before doing anything. If I wasn’t sitting down you wouldn’t eat, drink, go to the potty, or play. I learned it’s because you know when I’m going to pass out and since you alert me, you want to know that I’m not going to fall. You are still that way today.  

Meez gunna get you
Meez gunna get you

I think about those first few weeks and how close I came to losing you on more than one occasion. You had been so dehydrated and sick from the wormers and the worms that each day was a fight to keep you alive. But even amongst all of that you wanted to be near me. You were ready to take on Lexi when she would protest with a hiss as she towered over you like a giant and drooled from her toothless mouth. You would turn your tiny little body to the side and flare up and hiss right back. And then run to me for “protection” as she ran down the hall to hide. You liked to sleep right on my chest with your head under my chin and your cottony baby furs tickling my face. I didn’t dare move you because you were just so precious. Sleeping and purring all at the same time.   

 0dw Dezi gettin luv4

I remember the first time you did your “dance” at my ankles only a few days after coming home, and I didn’t know what you wanted. That “dance” has become the bond that keeps us together almost 24/7. You now stand much taller than my ankles but you still do “the dance”. And with your high pitched babyish mew you make my heart melt. I watch you sleep and see that little kitten that crawled up on my legs and laid down the first day so contented and safe. When you sleep in my lap and wake to find me watching you and tilt your head up and squint your eyes and “pucker” your lips for a kiss…I lose my heart all over again.

 0dw Dezi gettin luv2

I remember the day I realized I had fallen head over heels in love with you my sweet. I woke up and you were laying on my chest with your paw on my cheek and purring as loud as a lion roars. I looked at you and your eyes slowly opened and you put your other paw on my cheek as well and lifted your head and licked my chin. It was as if the world stopped for that moment in time. And then you drifted off to dreamland again. In that moment I knew I could never imagine my life without you. You’ve grown a lot since then and gotten much heavier, but I wouldn’t ever want you to stop our morning wake up ritual.

dw Dezi Floating hearts - 2HEoW-1ea - normal

I love how you chatter and trill and purr almost constantly. How you are always wherever I am. How you wipe the tears from my eyes with your paw. And try to make the hurt go away with your pats. Sometimes I wonder who’s petting who. And just who’s taking care of who. You are one of a kind and I was so blest you chose me to love and be your mommy. Maybe you did know how I was feeling that day and you knew that you could make it all better. My Deztinee, my precious angel, my heart, all I know for sure is that my life isn’t complete without you. Thank you for being my perfect angel and my true destiny. Thank you for loving and looking after Lexi. Thank you for choosing me when I wasn’t worth choosing. I love you with all my heart and soul and nothing will ever separate us. With each passing day my love for you grows and I wouldn’t change a thing.          

With all my Love, 

Mommy 

Oh mommy meez luvs you very much. Me never wanted to be anywhere but wiff you. Fank you fur comin’ dat day and fur fightin’ fur me so hawd. And fank you mostly fur lovin’ me.

Weez not know anyfin’ ‘bout it or ball games or teams, so me won’t insult ya’ by twyin’ to talk ‘bout it. Me just wants to say me hope there be no hawd feelins cuz yous team didn’t win. There wuz a pawty over at da Cat Scouts, so me went and spent da day in da spa. There wuz a teevee in there and me watched da kitten bowl wiff a foo udder scouts. We wusn’t all into da big game. But da kitten bowl wuz a lot of fun. We weally enjoyed it. But me knows dat yous not here to talk ‘bout da kitten bowl or da super bowl or any udder bowl fur dat matter. Yous all here to see just what awnty Ann bwought us. What is da BIG supwise. Well, here it is!! Just take a good look. Is dat not amazin’?

Last year wight afur ow big flood awnty Ann told us ‘bout this pawsum company called Fandango Cat Furniture and it’s owner, Cat Tree Steve. He works wiff wood and cweates all these pawsum cat twees and steps. All his twees awe made fwum real wood and house hold cawpet. And meez not talkin’ ‘bout da nasty cheap cawpet like weez got in ow pawtment eever. Each twee is handcwafted to purrfection. And made to wiffstand any amount of wuff housin’ yous kitties kuld put it fwu. 

Fank you so much, we luv ow new twee.
Fank you so much, we luv ow new twee.

Well as you all know we kuld never hope to be able to buy one of these pawsum twees, but we sure wuz oohin’ and aahin’ over ‘em. There awe sum amazin’ designs. Well last year wight afur da flood in ow pawtment awnty Ann sed she had told Cat Tree Steve all ‘bout us and he ‘cided to giv us a twee. What’s dat you say? Yep, ow very own handcwafted made wiff luv and sturdy wood cat twee. See he has a client dat donates her old twees back to him when she buys a new one so dat hims can help out a shelter or sum udder kitties like us. 2 little Service cats fwum Oklahoma. Awnty Ann wuz to pick up da twee fwum him and bwing it to us. Dat wuz sumfin’ hers worked out wiff him purrawlly while she wuz pickin’ up anudder twee fur hers own kitties. Weez can’t be certain, but she purrawlly has all da twees hims makes, or at least close to it.

 0dw Dezi on CT house11

Well she wuz gunna be wetirin’ at da end of da year so she told us dat after hers wetired she wuld bwing it up. She went and picked it up back in November and it wuz all we kuld do to keep fwum buggin’ her evewyday ‘bout when she wuz comin’. Well let me tell you, ifin we had known da twu quality of this here twee back then, we wulda been buggin’ her evewyday. MOL When she bwought it in last week mommy wuz awe stwuck. She held hers tears back till after awnty Ann left, and then mommy just sat and looked at ow new twee and cwied. It is so bootyful and BIG and sturdy and Purrfect. And then da leakin’ fwum mommys eyes turned into a flood. Sis Lexi walked into da room and jumped wight up on da twee and sat down. Da floodgates wuz open. They wuz tears of joy and happiness, but they wuz tears nun da less.

 

0dw Lexi on cat tree12
Aaaaaw Doent kry mommy. I’z lubz da nu tree.

Ow twee is made of sturdy wood and weally comfy cawpet. It has 6 shelves big nuff fur boff Lexi and me. And member weez be 30 pounds each. And da shelves hav no purrawllem holdin’ da weight. As a matter of fact (altho’ she ain’t twyin’ it), we fink mommy kuld purrawlly crawl wound on it wiff us. MOL Wuldn’t dat be a sight?  It also has a little house dat Lexi luvs. Each of those shelves is big nuff fur us to stwetch out on and take a  long nap, or bird and squirrel watch. Or even look fur awnty Ann to come back. And me did just dat. Theres a red pick up in one of da fotos and me fawt dat wuz her and wuz twyin’ to tell mommy to go and get her and tell her me wuld be nicer this time. MOL

Mommy is dat awnty Ann? tell hers me will be nice ifin she comes back.
Mommy is dat awnty Ann? tell hers me will be nice ifin she comes back.

We had this pawsum video, but mommy pushed sum button and it disappeared. We don’t know where it went, but dat’s okay cuz ow twee isn’t goin’ anywhere so there’ll be purrlenty of oppurrtunities fur fotos and videos. We awe such blest kitties to hav so many wunnewful furiends in ow lives. And weez weally blest to hav been givin’ such a pawsum gift. We weally wanna fank Cat Tree Steve fur makin’ such a pawsum twee and fur donatin’ it too us. And we wanna fank awnty Ann fur pickin’ it up and bwingin’ it to us. And we wanna fank da pawsum lady and hers kitties hoo gave it back to Cat Tree Steve so hims kuld donate it to us. It is Purrfect and we luv it.

Da nex time yous lookin’ fur a twee or sum stairs fur yous kitty or doggy, why don’t yous take a look at Fandango Cat Furniture furst. As a matter of fact, why don’t yous paw da name and pop on over wight now and take a look at all da pawsum designs. You just might find yous not need to go anywhere els. Don’t furget to check out hims Facebook page and paw a like too. And yous might wanna hide yous cwedit cawds or yous kitty might just be placin’ an order all by themselves. By da looks of ow twee, there ain’t nuffin’ dat Steve can’t do wiff wood, so ifin yous got a special wequest you might just ask him. You never know, he might be able to whoop it up fur ya’.  And by da way, Happy Groundhog day.

Disclaimer: Weez didn’t get paid and Cat Tree Steve didn’t even ask us to give this review or shout out. We did receive da twee fur furee and we wanted to send sum business hims way. He’s a gweat guy wiff a good heart and he luvs cats. Dat sez it all, wight?.
