Cat Dancing: Keeping Kitty Occupied

Published on by Service Cats U.S.49 Comments

(Dezi dances and whacks her paw in the air at the dangling, swinging prey in front of her, and then mommy yells to her that it’s time to write her blog post.)

Well da weekend’s over and it’s da start of a new week. Member me told you ‘bout this pawsum new toy me was playin’ wiff? Well mommy finally got da video ready and up on YouTube so me kuld tell ya’ all ‘bout it. This isn’t a sponsored posty. Mommy actually bought us da toy. A while back me had to go to da VET and one of our pawsum awnties sent da money to help get me there. Well there was a few green papers left and so mommy asked ifin she kuld use it to buy us this toy. We had seen it fur years, but mommy didn’t think we wuld play wiff it and she didn’t really get da concept, so she just never got us one. And then while visitin’ a furiends blog one day we actually saw it in use. They was meowin’ ‘bout how much they luvved it and me meowed to mommy dat me wanted one. Da oppurr-tunity finally arose to get us our very own Cat Dancer toy and she did. Mommy saved it fur Christmas, so she didn’t even look at it till then.

Da day after Christmas mommy finally took it out of da package and…”Oh no” she sed. It had an adhesive backin’ dat needed to be put sumwhere so we kuld play wiff it. And accordin’ to da package, da sticky stuff was really sticky. Once it was attached, it wasn’t gunna be goin’ anywhere. Well as ya’ know we rent, so it went right back into da packagin’ and mommy sed she was gunna have to think ‘bout just where this kuld go. Our furiends had sent us such pawsum gifts fur Christmas dat we didn’t even give it another thought. As you all know me’s been feelin’ a little cooped up lately and down right bored; so mommy once again pulled out da package and started tryin’ to find da right place to put it.

Mommy decided da cat tree wuld be da purrfect place fur it, but as you know our cat trees are  covered in carpet. And you humans all know dat sticky stuffs dusn’t stick to carpet very well. But mommy kept readin’ da part ‘bout how they use extra strong sticky stuffs and decided to call da company and ask ifin it wuld adhere to carpet. Da nice lady we spoke to sed she didn’t know. Nopawdy had ever asked dat question afur. Then she told mommy to try it and ifin it didn’t stick to send her an email and she wuld send us another sticky paw so we kuld put it sumwhere else. So mommy peeled da backin’ off and found da right place on da cat tree and applied da paw. Me immediately went crazy purrlayin’ wiff it. Mommy hurried to get da camera so she kuld get a few shots and a video and me found da sticky paw.

Paws up Dezi

 

Dezi stretches non nonchalantly at the Cat Dancer

Uh Oh!!! Mommy was sure this was all fixin’ to be a mess. Me is notorious fur chewin’ thru da strings and lastics attached to danglin’ toys. This Cat Dancer has a wire attachin’ it to da paw, so there’s no chewin’ thru dat. Stead, ifin me was gunna liberate me’s new toy me was gunna have to get da sticky paw off da tree. Guess what? When they say they use extra sticky sticky stuffs, they mean it. Dat paw ain’t goin’ anywhere. So mommy sent an email to da nice lady telllin’ her ‘bout our findin’s and included a foto of moi playin wiff it. And do you know what happened next? She sent us a little care package wiff sum really cool goodies and a new paw. So now mommy can move our Cat Dancer to another area and make it lower too. Altho’ me can reach it from da ground, sis Lexi can’t without losin’ her balance, so mommy secretly wished she had put it a little lower, and now she can. Fank you nice Cat Dancer lady, we luv all da new toys, specially our new Cat Dancer.

Now me knows this sounds a lot like a review, but me just had to tell you ‘bout da Cat Dancer in case you be thinkin’ like mommy did. Cuz me guarantees your kitty will play with it. And it’s not dat spensive. Fur less than $5.00 (it’s on sale right now at Chewy fur $1.99) you can keep your kitty entertained fur hours. Okay maybe not hours at a time, but hey, weez cats, we half to get in our beauty rest. And ifin you have your own demolition crew, they won’t be demolishin’ this toy fur sure. Me’s gotta go play now. 

 

Oh Meow mommy, these toys look like lots of fun.

Do you  or your kitties or doggies demolish toys?

Do you or your kitties or doggies like playing with danglin’ toys?

 

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

Blest Sunday: Material Blessings

Published on by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy, weez here. Mommy’s been tryin’ to relax and rest up after sis Lexi’s 36 hour throw up fest, but she sed we wasn’t missin’ 2 Blest Sundays in a row. Cuz no matter how bad things might get, or what’s goin’ on, weez still blest and me wants to meow ‘bout it. As ya’ know we find blessings in everything. We are blest to have all of you in our lives, and we are blest to have each other and a warm home full of luv. But we also received a kupple material blessings this past week. And we are so thankful to those who blest us.

Humidifier/Mister

Furst up is our new pawsum humidifier. Ifin you’ll recall, sis Lexi recently had to go to da VET and hers skin was dry and flakey; leavin’ depawsits of white dandruff all over her black furs. and of course da itchy ripple skins. Our humidifer broke a few years ago and mommy just didn’t have da money to buy another one, so we just dealt with da dryness as bestest we kuld. Well, one of our pawsum awnties sent us money to buy a new one and it arrived this week. Mommy got it all set up and placed on da vanity beside da bed where Lexi likes to sleep away da day. Within 24 hours da skin ripplin’ stopped and we all kuld breathe a little easier. Fank you so much awnty Anonymous, we reallly purreciate and luv our new humidifier.

But dat’s not da only material blessin’ we got this week. We also received 2 bags of da Primal freeze dried noms weez been eatin’. You all know mommy changed me’s noms recently, and she’s workin’ hard to get us to an all natural, species appropriate raw diet. Altho’ she sed ifin da freeze dried raw is where me draws da line, she can live wiff dat. She sez it ain’t purrfect, but it’s close. Course it be spensive, but as you know mommy will do whatever it takes to keep us healthy, so it’s really nice to have received 2 bags. Fank you soooooo much LouLou and awnty Suzanne. And hey, ifin you like gawjus kitties, good food and breads, you need to check out hers bloggy. She posted a gweat pizza recipe da other day, and she also has a recipe book out. You know pizza be our favorite human food so weez been meowin’ at mommy to make us one. We even purromissed to share.

Ooooops Me didn’t move me’s paw fast enuff. Oh well how ’bout a paw selfie.

We woke up this meownin’ to a parkin’ lot full of emergency vehicles and da ambulance. They left wiff an empty stretcher so all must be well.

Oh What A Night

Published on by Service Cats U.S.48 Comments

(Dezi sings) Oh what a night…Oh hey, it’s Finally Furiday, WooHoo!!! Meez singin’? You wanna know what dat was all ‘bout? Well let me tell ya’. Things have been goin’ purretty good round here lately. Sissy and me have both been eatin’ really well, no pawdee box purroblems, no errant hairballs, and weez been playin wiff a new toy. Stay tuned fur more on dat in a later posty. And then last night…OMC mommy was fit to be tied. And when me sez night, what me means to say is da lonely hour of 4:30 a.m. when mommy had gotten so tired she kuld barely hold her eyes open and we was finally goin’ to sleep. She gathered me up so we kuld join sis Lexi in da bed. We turned off da last of da lights and headed to da bedroom. We always stop off at da bed to turn on da lektric blanky and tell sissy weez comin’ to bed so she needs to move off mommys pillow.

And dat’s when it all happened. Throw up was all over da bed!!! Yep, sure nuff, sis Lexi had thrown up hers dinner on da not so soft anymore top blanky and all over da edge of da mattress right next to mommy’s pillow. She was layin’ in da one clean spot on da bed. Me looked at mommy who was starin’ down wif half closed eyes in disbelief. Me’s guessin’ we ain’t goin’ to be right now me mewed quietly. Mommy set me down and moved sis Lexi and started cleanin’. Da whole time she cleaned she was shakin’ her head and repeatin’, “We don’t throw up where we sleep. We don’t pee or throw up where we eat, sleep or sit. Why did you do this Lexi? We have a pawdee box room full of piddle pads.” Sissy didn’t care, she was already back in da livin’ room getting a drink of water. Me was sittin’ at da edge of da pawdee box room door watchin’ an exhausted mommy tryin’ to get da bed sleep ready. Here we was, me’s once purroud sissy dat wuld never throw up on da bed, was now eever to weak or too lazy to get off da bed to leave her yack depawsits. An hour later mommy finally got da bed all clean and we turned in.

A few hours later mommy and me was awakened by a heavin’ sissy. Yep she was getting’ ready to yack again. Course mommy kuldn’t move, so she hollered, “Not on the BED Lexi!!!” So sissy took 2 steps and stood on hers climbin’ steps and one convulse later, blah. All over da steps. Then she went and stepped in it afur leavin’ another depawsit all over da floor. Me just lay there in disbelief. This ain’t how me’s sissy duz things. Me just dusn’t unnerstand why she duz things like this. Mommy sez it’s a combination of her age and da CKD; but in times like these me just wants me’s old sissy back. And while mommy was tryin’ to clean a bit and fix our brekky, me had her. She was climbin’ all over da Liberty tree and checkin’ out da big cold outdoors thru da crack in da door. Mommy has lots of laundry to do now and sum sweepin’, moppin’ and carpet monsterin’ too. Me just hopes sissy be thru throwin’ up fur awhile. Course now dat da bed is covered in piddle pads, nopawdy wants to lay on it.

Adopt A Purrecious Jewel

Published on by Service Cats U.S.17 Comments

Well winter has been showin’ her fury. Weez so glad to hear most of our furiends made it fru da latest storm mostly unscathed. We was sure purrayin’ fur da poor ferals specially da ones whose care takers kuldn’t get to them. We purray they were able to find warm shelter and sumfin’ to eat. Member me’s challenge to you at da beginnin’ of da year? You know da one, to help more kitties (at least 1 more) get adopted this year than ya’ helped last year. Fur most of us we don’t actually count how many kitties we share or post ‘bout, so me’s challenge will go wiffout a nummer. But dat’s okay, so long as we share and try to get these anipals in their furever homes and getting’ lots of luv. Dat means it’s time fur us to innerduce you all to another pawsumly adoptable kitty.  

Dezi poses for the camera from the arm of the chair

Meowllo Jewel it’s so very nice to meet you. And your name purrfectly describes your beauty.

Well thank you girls fur sharing me. So many of the kitties at my shelter are getting homes and I sure would like one of my own too.  

Well Jewel dat’s why we share kitties like you. Why don’t you tell everypawdy a little bit ‘bout youself.

 Okay Dezi. As you can see from my photo, I’m a domestic shorthaired tabby with white socks and maybe a bit of calico. I’m about 3 – 4 years old and have visited the place of white coats so no babies fur me. And I’ve had all my shots and am in good health. Some nice folks saw me wanderin’ the streets and brought me to the shelter. You know it’s a little stressful bein’ here and I didn’t care much fur bein’ in a huge room full of kitties. It reminded me of the days of havin’ to fight fur my food. So I would really purrfur a home where I can be the queen. I love peeps of all ages, and would turn on my motor fur a little lovin’. I don’t play much here, but once I get sprung from the big house, and settle in somewhere I bet’cha’ I’d really enjoy some nice play time and a cuddle or three. You know us tabby girls really are affectionate.  

Dat’z rite Jewel, we shur are.  I shur hope youz get a grayt home and soon. 

Fanks sissy and fank you Jewel. We boff hope you get a furever home soon. Jewel be at da Pauls Valley Oklahoma Animal Shelter and can be adopted fur a measly $50.00. You can find out more about Jewel and all da other pawsum adoptable pets there by callin’ 405-238-1303. Purrlease share Jewel and let’s get this girl her own happily furever after.  

 

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