Chatting Cats: Revving Up for Service Cat Fridays

Published on by Service Cats U.S.28 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s furinally Furiday!!! I’s know it, but let me tell ya’, that lady in a box is an idiot!!! As most of ya’ know, mommy passes out…a lot. Well, when she comes ‘round she has to figger out the basics. Ya’ know, things like, what day it is, what time it is, who is she…ya’ know, the basics. So, when mommy came too this meownin’, the lady in the box was beepin’ fur no ‘pawrent reason. It wasn’t me that kept pushin’ her buttons.

          What? Are you implyin’ me did it, Raena? Me didn’t go near her. She’s always yakkin’ ‘bout somethin’, even when she ain’t been asked. Me had been mindin’ me’s own bizness, eatin’ me’s brekky till mommy passed out. You were doin’ purrlenty of alertin’ fur both of us, so me knew me wasn’t needed yet. Once she passed out, me did what any self respectin’ Service Cat would do, me laid by mommy’s side and kissed her face.

I’s did too, sissy. I’s a good Service kitty too. Anyways, when she came too, the lady in the box was just yakkin’ away. Mommy kept yellin’ and askin’ who was there, but the lady just kept ramblin’ on ‘bout not unnerstandin’ and not bein’ able to find that one. That one what? Didn’t nopawdy ask her to find anythin’. Hmmmpht  I’s brought mommy the teevee remote so she could get her bearings and tell that lady in the box to be quiet.

 

          And she did, didn’t she Raena? Once mommy furinally figgered everythin’ out and could ‘member box lady’s name, she yelled STOP at the top of her lungs. Me thinks the lady in the box is even more stubborn than you. Even you don’t prattle on as much as she does.

Yeah sissy, I’s…wait a minute, what do you mean Even me? And just what is this prattle on thing? I’s a good girl. Hmmmpht Even me…Anyways, mommy offen wonders ifin somepawdy ain’t tryin’ to spy on us through the box lady cuz of some of the things she says outta nowhere.

          Me thinks it’s just bad innernet connections and our small town, Raena. Our lives ain’t nearly x’citin’ enuff to spy on. Anyways, the events of this meownin’ were a great way to set up a new year of Service Cat posts.

 

 Raena sits in box

 

 

 

Sure ‘nuff sissy. Join us next Furiday fur our furst Service Cat post of 2018. We’ve got lots of questions ‘bout the new wheelchair that we’ve just been waitin’ to answer. We had to wait on the chair to get here befur we could answer most of them, so we just held them all. Be sure and get your questions in fur the 2018 year. You ask the questions, we’ll answer ‘em. Maybe you’re wonderin’ ‘bout the right foods to feed or why your kitty does somethin’. Or maybe you’re wonderin’ ‘bout a specific health issue, or how to train kitty to do somethin’ specific. No matter the question, we’ll tackle it and answer it with our mommy’s best Tips, Tricks and Techniques. We do wanna let ya’ know, mommy is fine. Passin’ out is completely normal fur her, and once she got her bearings, all was/is well. While we ate our brekky, she had a nice cup of hot coffee. 

 

Raena lays in powerchairShould we give our chair a name?

 

 

 

We do have a question fur all of ya’ tho’. Several of you have asked what we named the new wheelchair. Truth is, we’ve never given them a name. So, what do you think we oughtta call it? Ifin we get enuff suggestions, we’ll let ya’ll vote on it. So, let us know your suggestion in the comments below.

Chatting Cats: Purr Therapy Is Best

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe January’s almost over? MeOW seems this year’s gonna speed by like the last one. But hey, I’s guess that means mine’s birthday will be here soon.

 

 Dezi lays in box

 

 

 

          Raena, your birthday is still months away. And, we’re not gonna be meowin’ ‘bout that every day till it gets here. Ya’ know, the world doesn’t revolve ‘round you.

 

 Raena lays beside box

 

 

 

What? Yes it does, mommy says so. You’ve heard her, she’s always sayin’ her world revolves ‘round us. We’re her everythin’. Even her Monday ‘pointment said so.

 

 Dezi sits in box looking over her shoulder

 

 

 

          Yeah, ‘bout that Monday ‘pointment… Ya’ know, we’ve had several peeps ask what kind of ‘pointment it is. Mommy hadn’t decided ifin she wanted to talk ‘bout it. But, me told her, our life is an open book. She even said so when we furst started in social media. It’s not like you can keep secrets when everypawdy’s postin’ everythin’. 

 

 Raena's profile sitting in a box

 

 

 

That’s true, sissy. And, it’s not like mommy really cares, or that she’d say anythin’ in that ‘pointment that she wouldn’t let us say here. 

 

          Yep, me thinks it’s no big deal either. Me doesn’t know why the DHS (Department of Human Services) nurse thought mommy needed a counselor anyways.

 

 Raena bathes while laying on the heated mat

 

 

 

I’s think it might have somethin’ to do with all the cryin’ and beggin’ mommy did when she told her they were takin’ away most of her benefits. Ya’ know, a few months ago, the state was gonna stop the benefits fur all the old and disabled peeps; but, they met with tons of resistance and decided not too. What we didn’t know is that they were still doin’ it, they were just doin’ it one purrson at a time. While I’s tried to paw away mommy’s tears, she was askin’ the nurse where she was s’posed to get the green papers fur the medicines that had been covered by those benefits. 

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me could see the nurse felt bad fur mommy, but she just sat there and said her hands were tied. Me thinks the craziest thing she said was when she asked ifin mommy was gonna do anythin’ stupid. Hmmmpht  She doesn’t know our mommy. And then the next day she called and told mommy that she had set her up fur counselin’, and that it would look good ifin mommy was coopurrative. She didn’t say anythin’ ‘bout givin’ mommy’s benefits back tho’. 

 

Yeah, it might not be so bad ifin mommy didn’t know so many peeps that cheat the system, or all those illegal immigrants gettin’ rich off the system. Anyways, least the counselor lady’s nice. 

 

 Dezi bathes while laying on the heated mat

 

 

 

          How would you know, she’s only showed up twice. She showed up the furst week and then cancelled the next. Altho’ not early enuff fur mommy to do anythin’ else. And then, she did it again yesfurday.

 

Fanky fank the cats mommy doesn’t actually need the help. She ain’t the kind to do somethin’ “stupid”. And, she has us, what more could she pawssibly need?.

 

          Me agrees Raena. Mommy’s always sayin’, there ain’t nuffin’ better than purr therapy.

 

 Raena gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Meowin’ of, I’s think I’s’ll go lay in mommy’s lap now and give her some of that purr therapy. You can have the heated mat.

 

          Fanks Raena. (Dezi meows sarcastically) Maybe me wants to lay in mommy’s lap.

 

I’s’ll race ya’…Readyset Go!!! (Raena starts running and jumps over Dezi to mommy’s lap. Dezi shakes her head and lays down on the heated mat to have a nice bath.)

Chatting Cats: Chirps, Chortles and Quacks

Published on by Service Cats U.S.16 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. (Raena jumps on the Liberty cat tree to look outside for the source of the chirping she hears. She looks out and back again and chirps and chortles at Dezi.) Sissy, do you hear it? Is winter over?

 

 Dezi sits on cat tree and looks out door

 

 

 

          (Dezi jumps up on the Liberty cat tree beside Raena and looks out the door and then the window.) Where is it, Raena? Me can’t find the birdy. (Dezi reaches her paw out and touches the door and pulls her paw back quickly.) Hmmmpht  Winter ain’t over Raena, far from it. Least the temps have furinally risen above 0. Fankfully, you’re the one that’s gonna be out in it with mommy today. Me’s gonna stay here and stay warm.

 

 Raena lays on chair back, selfie

 

 

 

I’s luvs goin’ out with mommy, sissy, even ifin it’s cold out. Besides, did you see the new carrier thingy she got fur us? I’s can’t wait to try it out. It looks really cool.

 

 Sling Pet Carrier

 

 

 

          Are you meowin’ ‘bout that sling thing Raena? Me knows mommy was really impurressed at the quality considerin’ what we paid fur it. Ya’ know, we got a few green papers fur Christmas, and mommy was thinkin’ ‘bout BlogPaws and ‘memberin’ how little room there was when we were walkin’ ‘round and visitin’ with the vendors. And she ‘membered how cute our furiend Sophie looked in her sling thing and wanted to get one fur us. But, ya’ know those things ain’t cheap. So, when she found this one fur $7.99, she had to scoop it up. Ya’ know, we’re purrayin’ hard that we get to go to BlogPaws this year. Me still purrfurs me’s stroller, but me might give that sling a try too. There ain’t nuffin’ better than bein’ close to mommy’s heart.

Ain’t that the truth, sissy. I’s so glad mommy knows how to shop fur bargains. And, I’s really purray we get to go to BlogPaws. I’s can’t wait to meet our furiends in the fur to flesh. That sounds like soooooooo much fun. I’s guessin’ I’s goin’ in the stroller today tho’. Ya’ know, I’s don’t think the doctor could hear mommy’s heart with all mine’s furs in the way. Maybe he’ll give mommy somethin’ to get better too. We was visitin’ our furiends on Wednesday and tryin’ to get all caught up, and then yesfurday, mommy just zoned out. She kept passin’ out, so she furinally just shut the catputer off. I’s sure hope we can visit more furiends after we get home today. We’ve missed so much. 

 

 Dezi sits on cat tree and looks out door

 

 

 

          Me too, Raena. Ya’ know she was tryin’ to do that pecan thing to raise green papers to take you to the V E T and to send us to BlogPaws. Unfurtunately fur our pawcket book the work’s over and mommy didn’t make enuff fur anythin’. Altho’ me is glad that she’s gonna be home with us from now on. Me really didn’t like her bein’ gone so much. Me worried ‘bout her all the time. Seems that belt runnin’ along like it did gave her the dizzies and caused her to pass out. Anyways, it’s furinally the weekend and it’s warmin’ up a tad, so maybe mommy will feel up to playin’ with us. You may enjoy goin’ out, but me would much purrfur a good game with the cat dancer.

 

 Raena models the new sling carrier

 

 

 

I’s luvs playin’ with the cat dancer too sissy. That sounds like a great idea. Oooooh And, the hexbug. Maybe mommy will take him down too. I’s chased him under the oven the last time we played. Did you know the oven comes apawrt? I’s never seen anythin’ like it. There’s a cool cubby down there. I’s sure wish mommy would’a let me go under there and play. 

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Oh Raena…That ain’t no cubby and the oven ain’t a toy. (Dezi shakes her head and then suddenly sees something out of the corner of her eye.)  Raena!!! Look’it all the ducks!!! 

 

 Raena looks back while standing on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

(Raena jumps up just in time to see the ducks waddle by and go off into the woods.) Oh sissy, those sure are some big birds. Sorry Tabbies, but they sure did look nomilishus. MOL Well, I’s better go help mommy get ready to go. The sooner we leave the sooner we can get back and visit our furiends. We’ll be by to see ya’ soon.

 

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

Chatting Cats: New Year, Same Old Same Old

Published on by Service Cats U.S.34 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. What a week we’ve had so far. I’s don’t like these below 0° days and nights. Let me tell ya’, we’re all feelin’ yucky here. Mommy can barely move. She’s all hunched over like that big ole wisteria bush outside. And sis Dezi had a bout of the sneezy wheezies and horkin’ everywhere. Me? Yep, mines eyes are all gunky and mommy’s had to clean mine’s bloomers more than once in the last couple of days. Hmmmmpht I’s don’t like bloomer cleanin’. No dirty bloomer fotos. Mommy says not even she wants to see that. I’s a big girly and not s’posed to need such things.

 

 Dezi lays in cat bed and looks back over shoulder

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ on about now? Trust me, ya’ never outgrow bloomer cleanin’ ‘round here. Mommy always says she ain’t kissin’ a mouth that’s been cleanin’ such things that get stuck on our bloomer furs. Furankly, me would much rather have mommy clean it up than me. Yuck!!!  Anyways, ya’ know we’ve been meowin’ with mommy ‘bout our postin’ schedule since she’s gonna have that new standin’ ‘pointment on Mondays. We’ve also been thinkin’ maybe mommy can do a few more postys/reviews this year. We think sometimes companies furget we kitties have humans.

Maybe sissy, but I’s hope mommy gets somethin’ more fun than the product she’s tryin’ out now. As fur our new postin’ schedule, seems we’ll be postin’ Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Furidays and Sundays. Blest Sunday has been a pawrt of Deziz World since almost the beginnin’, and we luv meowin’ ‘bout our blessings. So Blest Sunday’s ain’t goin’ anywhere.

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap and gets loving

 

 

 

          We do luv our blessings Raena. Our Service Cat postys will return in February, so get your questions and desired topics in now. We’re also workin’ hard on figgerin’ out a way to go to BlogPaws. It’s so close, we just hate to miss it. We have a ticket, we just need to get the green papers fur the room and transpurrtaion. Anyways, we know 2018 is gonna be full of fun and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.

 

 Raena gets love on the cat tree

 

 

 

And, meowin’ of all of you, we’re really behind in our visitin’ cuz of mommy tryin’ to get green papers and bein’ sick. But, we’re slowly tryin’ to get caught up. So, we’ll be by to visit with ya’ as soon as we can.

 

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