Postcard From Hell

Published on by Service Cats U.S.44 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy, you are not gonna believe what happened last week. Me’s loungin’ ‘round just tremblin’ under da chair enjoyin’ da rains and thunder and mommy brings in a postcard and says it’s fur me. Well let me tell ya’, me luvs to get mail, so me couldn’t wait fur mommy to read it to me. Da front had these cutesy fotos of kitties and doggies, so me could only ‘magine good things. Maybe me had won a lifetime supply of noms. Or better yet, a lifetime supply of freeze dried chicken breast treats. Those chunks of white meat chicken are so yummy, me can taste ‘em now. (looks off dreamily and licks lips) Anyways, me ask mommy to read it to me.

Dezi cocks head to the side in thought
What’s it say mommy?

Big mistake furiends. Ifin ya’ get a postcard in da mail with cutesy kitties and doggies on it…throw it out, tear it up, rip it to shreds, eat it, just do somethin’ with it befur da peeps get a chance to see it. It’s da postcard from hell. Dat stinky ‘ole VET had da nerve to send me a card tellin’ me to tell mommy to call them up and make a ‘pointment fur me to get poked and purrodded. Can you believe dat? Me’s respawnse to dat postcard? Sure thing doctor C me will get right on dat. Me can’t wait to be manhandled and jabbed. Me’s gonna tell mommy to make dat call ASAP. Yeah, right. What’s up with them? Do they think me actually likes them? Do me’s hisses and growls not tell them clear ‘nuff dat me doesn’t enjoy me’s time there? Me told mommy dat she could just throw dat out and ignore it all together.

Give me dat postcard, me will rip it to shreds.

But alas, mommy had da nerve to call over to da VETs office and schedule an appointment. Me has to find some place to hide or else me will be getting’ assaulted Fursday meownin’. Dat’s right, me’s ‘pointment is Fursday at 11 o’clock. Me may just have to give da VET da ‘ole whacky paw so he’ll get da message and not be sendin’ anymore of those cutesy postcards. Me hopes your day goes better than me’s day. As you’ve purrobably figgered out by now, we’re way behind on our visitin’. Just wait, you’ll find out ‘zactly why later this week. And hopefully things will get back to normal soon. Seems mommy’s monthly doctor’s ‘pointment is Wednesday, and of course there’s all this lease re-certification stuffs mommy has to get together, so we’s plannin’ a big ketch up with you all this weekend and when we can durin’ da week. Seems June is a really busy month fur us. Me’s gonna wrap it up now, da lawn crew just showed up. Kittens!!! And it’s only miserable Monday. So much fur me’s nappin’ and strollin’ plans. Mommy, ifin ya’ need me, me will be UTB. 

Dezi laying on svratcher
Oh cats, da lawn crew’s here. There goes me’s nap.

Remember, be suspicious of all cutesy animal postcards addressed to us furries. It’s most likely da postcard from hell.

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

Do you get reminder notices from your VET?

Do you (your kitty) like your VET?

Blest Sunday Cat Beds

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy and welcome to another Blest Sunday. Me has sooooooooo much to tell ya’ there’s no way me can tell it all today. You know me’s a little chatty and long winded but me’s sure you all don’t have da time to read a book today. So me will have to break up all me’s news into a few postys. So let me see…where should me start?

 Dezi atop the cat tree

About a week or so ago we got a pawsum box from awnty Mary Beth, uncle Garth, Gizmo and da gang. Now me had never had a cat bed, me hadn’t even seen one till a couple years ago when they sent me and sis Lexi our furst kitty bed. Mommy figgered we would never use one cuz we sleep in da big bed with her; so she was a little afraid dat she wouldn’t have any fotos to post of us enjoyin’ those beds. But guess what? We luvved ‘em, ‘specially me. You’ve seen me’s video. In case ya’ haven’t, check it out below. Ifin ya’ can’t see it there, click here.

Anyways, back to now and da box we recently got from awnty Mary Beth. Mommy opened da box and inside was a couple of coffee related gifts fur mommy’s birthday and these 2 huge black trash bags. Now wait a minute. Let me tell ya’ me thinks mommy was just as ‘xcited ‘bout da trash bags as she was ‘bout da coffee stuffs. So mommy emptied da box and those trash bags and lo and behold there was 2 brand new bootyful cat beds. In case ya’ couldn’t make it out in da video above, me has literally massaged and suckled those old beds till there ain’t any of da softy fleece on a few sides. So awnty Mary Beth had decided to send me a new one. But wait…she sent two kitty beds ‘stead of one? Dat was pawsumly nice of her, but me can only sleep in one at a time, so me isn’t sure why she sent me two beds?.

Dezi sniffs new cat bed from Gizmo and the gang

What’s dat mommy? Oh da second bed is fur me’s new sisfur? Well doesn’t awnty Mary Beth know we’re havin’ trouble findin’ one? Ya’ know a couple of shelters and rescues wouldn’t even talk to us once they found out we didn’t live in da same city/town as them. A couple of da rescues charged over $200 fur their adoption fees but they didn’t have any kitties anyways. And then ‘member dat rescue dat insisted you adopt two kitties? Of course they threw ya’ a bone by givin’ ya half off on da second kitten, but as much as you might like to have three kitty’s da ‘pawrtment manager would kick us out. And then of course there’s da two kitties (different kitties/litters/peeps) we thought was gonna be ours who died befur you could get down da road to pick them up. We already wrote ‘bout one of them.

 Dezi checks out new cat bed

What’s dat mommy? Yes, she knows? Me’s new sisfur will arrive when she’s ‘posed too?. Well okay, in da meantime, me will just break both these beds in, okay? Well me’s sendin’ out a meowsy big fank you to awnty Mary Beth, uncle Garth, Gizmo and da gang. Me luvs da new kitty beds and me’s sure me’s new sisfur will think da same thing. What a blessing our furiends are. We are so thrilled to have all of you in our lives.  We thank God and ask Him to look out fur and bless you all everyday. ‘Member today and everyday to take a minute to count da blessings in your life.

 Dezi inspects the new cat bed from Gizmo and the gang

Me would like to take a minute to tell ya’ll ‘bout this pawsum new Cat Dancer toy. You all know dat me discovered this great toy recently. Mommy had never bought me one cuz she didn’t know what to do with it. It’s a wire with some cardboard tubes but no handle fur mommy to use to play with me. Recently da company created a new Cat Dancer with a handle. And not just any handle but one dat could be clipped to a cage so dat shelter kitties could enjoy it and have a little play time while waiting fur their furever homes. They’ve started a Kickstarter campaign to raise da money fur purrduction. And ifin ya’ support da campaign you can even get your very own. Ifin you’re innerested you can check it out here. You know spendin’ so much time in shelters and rescues lately made mommy ‘member dat a lot of these kitties get very little inneraction day in and day out and even fewer get to play, so we luv this idea and wish da Cat Dancer peeps da bestest of luck. Me wouldn’t mind havin’ one of these meself.

Me’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday selfies. Ifin ya’ like takin’ selfies, ya’ might wanna link up too. Me’s gonna go break in one of da new kitty beds now, so we’ll see ya’ soon.

Girl Friday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.32 Comments

WooHoo it’s Furiday!!! Me thought it would never get here. Now me knows you’re thinkin’ me’s excited cuz it’s da end of da week and da beginnin’ of da weekend, right? Me’s a cat, so what does me know ‘bout weeks and weekends really? Me only knows what mommy tells me; so me knows most of da world luvs Furiday. But dat’s not why me’s so excited. As you know it’s been stormin’ here fur so long me thinks me should grow some gills and fins. You know Dougie would feel right at home outside in our garden. Betta fish in da wild are often found in rice paddies or flood plains. And a flood plain is fur sure what we got goin’ on; so Dougie would be just fine out in da garden. Anyways, me’s getting’ off track. Me was gonna tell ya’ why me’s so happy it’s finally Furiday.

Dezi lounges atop the Liberty cat tree

Well mommy and me was checkin’ da weather report and you know what da weather guesser said? You know ya’ can’t really trust ‘em, cuz after all, they’re only right about 20% of da time. Did you know weather guessers go to school to learn how to guess what da weather’s gonna do? Y, mommy didn’t need any weather schoolin’ at all, and she can always tell ya’ when it’s gonna rain or storm. Mommy says her knee’s been purrdictin’ da weather fur over 30 years. Notice me respected mommy’s 35 and holdin’ age lie?. MOL  Anyways, mommy injured her knee years ago when she was young and says dat ole man Arfur-Itis tells her exactly when it’s gonna rain. And after her accident, she says her whole body is in tune with da weather. So me doesn’t know ‘zactly what those weather guessers learn at school, but it ain’t nearly as reliable as mommy’s knee and ole man Arfur-Itis.

Dezi stares out the window at the rain from the Liberty cat tree

Mommy, it’s still rainin’. 😦

 

Now, where was me? Oh yeah, me was tellin’ ya’ what da weather guesser said. He said dat only one more day of storms and we would have a whole week of mr. Sunshine. Dat’s right, mr. Sunshine was gonna be showin’ his smilin’ face ‘round here on Sunday and last fur days. Such welcome news, me’s gonna give him da benefit of da doubt and believe him this time. Me can’t wait, so he better be right. Or maybe me should consult mommys knee. Course, it’s time fur us to recertify our lease so mommy claims she’s gonna be really busy this month.

Dezi looks back from her door perch on the Liberty cat tree

Me’s gonna be right here watchin’ fur mr. Sunshine to appear.

 

As a matter of fact, we took da day off Fursday and mommy worked so hard on da house dat she was pourin’ sweat. She looked like she had been standin’ outside in da storms. Me doesn’t know why she thinks she needs to tear da house up, but she says it’s…time. Time? What does she mean…Time? Time fur what? Oh don’t worry, you know me. Me will tell you all as soon as me figgers out what she’s talkin’ ‘bout. Me can’t keep a secret from me’s furiends. Maybe dat’s why mommy won’t tell me her age, ya think? 

In da meantime, mommy was so purroud of me fur offurin’ to help her with da carpet monster.  

 Dezi uses the Shark vacuum

No, self purrpelled or not, me can’t actually push dat thing ‘round, but…me didn’t run away and hide from it like me used to. And let me tell ya’ dat thing will almost run itself. Dat’s why mommy bought it all those years ago. She needed somethin’ light weight dat didn’t take a 100 pounds to push. Ya’ know she passes out, a lot, and so anytime she can get help with somethin’ like dat, she takes it. And let me tell ya’ another thing, it’s pawsum at pickin’ up those litter pieces of scattered litter and all dat shed pet furs. Now we ain’t bein’ paid by da Shark peeps, so this ain’t no sponsored posty or commercial; but we know a lot of ya’ are often lookin’ fur good carpet monsters, so me just thought me’d tell ya’, this is a good one. Now was dat a run on sentence or what? MOL  Anyways, where was me? Oh yeah, purroud mommy. Me hung in there close to da action and mommy, dat she called me her Girl Furiday…whatever dat is. You know it doesn’t take much to make mommies and daddies purroud, fank catness. So, we have lots to do mommy says, so we will be by to visit with ya’ll as soon as we can.

 Dezi looks smugly from atop the Liberty cat tree

What’s dat mommy? You want me to move so you can get all da furs off da cat tree? Let me think ’bout it, okay?

Till da next time……………………………………Be Blest!!!
