          I’s luvs Blest Sunday too Dezi. We really are blest to have so much. Our furiend Valentine recently innerviewed us, and it reminded us just how blest we really are. You can check out the furst installment here.

 

Dezi lays atop the Liberty Cat Tree

Yeah Raena, what an innerview. Valentine asked a lot of great questions. Of course we meowed ‘bout how it is bein’ Service Kitties, but he also asked a lot of questions, we bet peeps have wondered ‘bout and just haven’t asked. As a matter of fact, he asked so many good questions, he’s gonna post it in pawrts.

 

          Ya’ reckon he also decided to do it that way cuz we’re kinda wordy sissy? 

 

Wordy? Who’ve you been meowin’ too Raena? We’re not wordy, we just have lots to say. ‘Purrtant stuffs. Wordy means you’re meowin’ nonsense; and we don’t meow nonsense?.

 

 Raena looks out from the top of the Liberty cat tree

 

          Of course I’s agree with you sissy. But, we have been called wordy and long winded befur. I’s don’t know why anypawdy would say that, but mommy says it’s true. 

 

Well, that’s okay Raena. Peeps can say whatever they want. Mommy says us Southerners have lots of colorful ways to express ourselves. So, we’re just doin’ what comes naturally. MOL 

 

 Raena bites the Cat grass pail from Valentine

 

          Well sissy, did you see what Valentine and his mommy sent us as a fanky fank ya’?

 

 

 Dezi watches Raena with the cat grass kit from atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Me sure did Raena. Mommy said she’d never seen such a cute little grass kit. We’d never heard of Maggies Micro-greens befur, but we can’t wait fur our grass to start growin’. Fank you so much Valentine, we do luv grass.

  

 Raena plays with the cat grass kit from Valentine

 

          That’s fur sure sissy. I’s couldn’t hardly wait fur mommy to get it planted up. ‘Pawrently, we have to wait fur it to sprout now. Kinda like when mommy grows her salads in the Aerogarden.

Me sure hopes we don’t have to wait that long Raena. Fanks to awnty Anonymous, mommy’s got more salad greens to plant fur herself. Looks like we’ll all be eatin’ salads befur too long. MOL

 

          Awnty Anonymous also sent mommy some more of that shelf stable milk so she could make more of that cheater mac and cheese. We really do ‘purreciate her. Mommy made a big ole plate last night.

 

 Casr of Organic shelf stable milk

 

Yep, and then you jumped on the counter right next to that hot burner. Oh Me Cats were you in trouble!!! 

 

          Yeah sissy, I’s guess I’s shouldn’t have done that. Mommy was so scared she was cryin’. And I’s never seen mommy move that fast, have you? Did you see her come runnin’ fur me? 

 

Who could miss it Raena. Her arms were flailin’ thru the air and she was hollerin’ “Danger!!! Danger!!! Don’t step on that burner!!!”. 

 

          She snatched me up so fast mine’s head was spinnin’. I’s purrobably won’t be doin’ that again. MOL 

 

 Dezi and Raena atop the Liberty Cat tree

 

Well Raena, me’s sure mommy will be happy to hear that. Ya’ know, there’s usually a reason fur the rules mommy makes. We might not always unnerstand, but mommy says they’re fur our own good and safety. You coulda got really hurt ifin you’d stepped on that hot burner. Me’s just glad mommy got to you befur anythin’ bad happened. Yet another blessin’ we’re fankful fur this week.

 

          You’re right sissy. I’s a blest kitty fur sure. We’re so fankful fur all our furiends too. We live such blest lives. 

 

 3 cats meowing thank you

 

We do Raena. And we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the blessings in your lives. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go play. Maybe we can watch our pail of cat grass grow. MOL

Chatting Cats: Furiday Playdates

Published on by Service Cats U.S.17 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe it? Twice in one week, I’s…

  

 Raena lays on the back of the chair while Dezi looks up at her from the seat of the chair

 

          RaenaBelle!!! What are you doin’? 

 

Y, I’s writin’ mine’s posty sissy?. 

 

          You wrote the last post Raena, ‘member? 

 

I’s know sissy. Isn’t it pawsum that I’s writin’ two in a row? Furiday’s mine’s day, right?

 

 Dezi enjoys her Christmas nip toys

 

          You’re day? Furiday’s everypawdy’s day Raena, not just yours.

 

You know what I’s mean sissy. Besides, we’re havin’ a virtual play date today. We invited Valentine of Noir Kitty Mews to come over and play. He even plans to innerview us fur is bloggy tomorrow.

 

 Dezi and Raena with nip toy

 

          Yeah, me knows. That Val sure seems like a cool kitty. Me hopes he’s not ‘fraid of storms. You know, mommy checked the weather the other day, and the weather guessers were talkin’ ‘bout the wonderful sun puddles and warm temps of spring we were havin’. Guess they hadn’t been outside. Cuz there’s been no sun puddles ‘round here. And it’s been so cold and windy, you’d’a thought winter had done come back. Me thinks me needs to get a job as a weather guesser. Can you believe they get paid green papers to guess what’s gonna happen?

 Oh sissy, you wouldn’t wanna be a weather guesser. You’d have to leave mommy and go to work. But you’d furst have to go to school to learn how to guess the weather. 

 

 Rain, lightning cloud emoji

          Yeah, me bets they sit ‘round learnin’ how to toss coins. Anyways, cuz of all this weather, we’re behind in visitin’ all our furiends.

 

Well sissy, we won’t be gettin’ caught up today either. Mommy has her regular monthly doctor’s ‘pointment today, so we’ll be gone most of the day. Hey, is our new tunnel movin’? 

 

 Dezi and Valentine in the chair

 

          Yep, looks like Valentine’s here. 

 

 Raena and Valentine lay on the Liberty Cat Tree

 

I’s can’t wait to show him our cat trees. He was meowin’ ‘bout  how much he liked our Liberty tree. 

 

          And maybe you could take him fur a spin in the wheelchair. MOL  

 

Raena and Valentine sit in the wheelchair

Oh sissy, yous know I’s not allowed to drive without mommy.

 

          Me knows you’re not allowed to, but that doesn’t stop you from tryin’.

Chatting Cats: Mommy’s Got A New Tee: #GiveAway

Published on by Service Cats U.S.34 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe it? I’s getting’ to take the lead today. And guess what? We have a pawtastic give away fur all of ya’. Dat’s right, everypawdy can enter. Anyways, let’s get to the good pawrt. We were contacted by the sweetest gentleman, Aaron Seminoff, ‘bout checkin’ out his website full of animal related purroducts fur our humans. Let me tell ya’, mommy was some kind’a x’cited when she saw all the amazin’ kitty tee shirts.

 

 Raena sits on the personalized tee shirt from Animal Hearted

 

          She sure was Raena. Mommy doesn’t wear a lot of tee shirts, but when she does, they’ve gotta be kitty related.

 

 

Disclaimer: We received Animal Hearted products in exchange for our honest review. As always, we tell it like we see it. We only bring you products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you, our readers and friends.

 

 Animal Hearted Logo

 

Yep, sissy, mommy’s a real live Cat Lady. She couldn’t believe how many different kitty designs Animal Hearted has. And not only were the designs pawsum, they also offur several different types of tee shirts and even sweatshirts. Mommy likes her shirts a bit oversized and roomy, so she was thrilled to see the larger sizes offured. 

 

 Raena checks out the personalized tee shirt from Animal Hearted

This is great mommy. That’s me!!!

 

          Mommy was really impurressed when she saw the purrsonalization option. That meant she could get a shirt with one of us on it. So, even when she does go somewhere without us, she could still show us off.

 

 

And she did just that sissy. When mommy went to her dental surgery ‘pointment, she wore the purrsonalized tee Animal Hearted made fur her. She said it brought her some comfurt to be able to look down and see mine’s purretty face. She also said almost everypawdy complimented her special tee shirt. I’s think it’s cuz they thought I’s sooooooo purrrrrrrr-ty. Don’t you think so sissy?

Unisex Personalized Tee Shirt

 

          Uh, yeah, sure Raena. That’s x’actly why they complemented her. (Dezi shakes her head and mumbles under her breath) That girl is so conceited. 

 

Mommy even got a couple of key chains. Mommy does luv her key chains and baubles. And she said the Animal Hearted web site was really easy to navigate; and the ordering purrocess was so simple anypawdy could do it. 

 

 Animal Hearted kitty themed key chains

Those key chains say, Stop Stressing Meowt!

 

          Yep Raena, and even tho’ mommy’s not all that great with catputer maneuverin’, she said makin’ her purrsonalized tee shirt was a breeze. The Animal Hearted website took her step by step thru the process and let her back up ifin she made a mistake. She even got to preview her choice befur orderin’.

 

 Animal Hearted Key Chain

This pawsum key chain says, Crazy Cat Lady. It suits mommy

to a tee. MOL  Get it? A tee? MOL

 

Sure ‘nuff sissy. And after she placed her order, she got an email almost instantly requestin’ the foto she wanted on her purrsonalized shirt. Initially, the instructions on what kind of foto was allowed, wasn’t real clear. Mommy submitted a collage foto with both of us. The folks from Animal Hearted respawnded very quickly and told mommy that the best foto to submit would be a fairly plain foto of just one of us. So mommy sent in a foto of me layin’ in the wheelchair. In no time at all, she received another email with the purrposed final design.

 

 First draft personalized tee shirt from Animal Hearted

This was the furst tee Animal Hearted submitted to mommy

fur approval. She didn’t care fur the greens, so they went back

to the drawin’ board. 

 

          Mommy didn’t like it. She thought the green washed you out. And she didn’t think the green looked all that great on the gray background either. Not to mention her dislike of pastel greens. At this point mommy got a little nervous. She was worried that when she said she didn’t like it, that they might get a little snippy with her. But mommy went ahead and sent an email tellin’ them she didn’t care for the green and suggested our signature purrple, or blues to match our eyes; just no green. And then she got a purrleasant sur-purrise. The Animal Hearted team quickly and nicely respawnded and sent an email with another design.

Here’s the second and final tee shirt. It’s purrfect!!!

 

And it was purrfect, wasn’t it sissy?

 

          Yeah Raena, mommy luvved the second design and told them to go ahead. The whole purrocess was easy peasy, and the folks at Animal Hearted were as nice as could be thru it all.

 

 Animal Hearted Kisses Not Hisses tee shirt

Aaaaaaaw Isn’t that just purrecious?

 

A few days later, mommy got her purrsonalized tee, key chains, and cutesy tee in the mail. She couldn’t wait to wear ‘em. They’re a light weight cotton and wash up great. 

 

 Aaron Seminoff with his 2 rescue dogs

 

          The other thing we really luv ‘bout Animal Hearted, is their mission. Animal Hearted donates 25% of their purroceeds to non-purrofit animal shelters and rescues. That’s right, a whole 25%. And even tho’ Aaron is pictured with his two rescued doggies, he’s also a cat man. Yep, he’s owned by two rescue kitties too.

 

Now fur the good pawrt. Aaron agreed to let us give one of our amazin’ readers a $50.00 gift card. You can buy anythin’ ya’ want from his website. Altho’ we’re all ‘bout the kitties, Animal Hearted has a variety of animals represented. Just click on the Enter Here graffic below to enter this pawsum give away, just in time fur Mother’s Day. The lawn crew’s here, so I’s gonna wrap it up now and take a nap. Wait fur me sissy.
