Meowllo evewypawdy, hope all is well wiff ya’. And yes, me will splain da title of meez posty, don’t worry. Altho’ weez hope weez not get kicked outta da Bloggin’ A to Z challenge we can’t pawlogize fur missin’ yesfurday. And once you hear why, weez guessin’ quite a foo of ya’ wulda dun da same fing. Anyways, furst let me say dat da letter fur today be K. Well now ain’t dat special. Sis Lexi and me be grown kittens. And wuldn’t ya’ know it, kittens stawts wiff a K. Yep dat’s wight meez gunna do a little talkin’ today ‘bout kittens. Me wuz born in November but sis Lexi wuz born in Apwil almost 16 years ago. Yep she’ll be havin’ a Meowday (birffday) this mumff on da 29ff. Udder than makin’ an announcement ‘bout hers Meowday what duz dat have to do wiff anyfin’ yous ask? Well a lot ifin yous work in a shelter or kitty wescue. See kittens can be born any time of year these days cuz mowe and mowe of us live inside where wedder is conducive to year wound bweedin’. But ow outside counterpawts swing into high gear duwin’ this time of year and da wesult is sumfin’ wescuers call Kitten season.
Yep a season full of kittens. Shelters and wescues awe gunna be ovewflowin’ fur da next little bit cuz so many cats wemain unaltered (spayed/neutered). A kitten can stawt wepurrducin’ as early as 4 months. And yes me sed kitten, cuz at dat age they still be kittens. And they have no business havin’ babies. A litter can consist of any where tween 3 – 12 kittens. Sissy wuz 1 of 3 and me wuz da last of 11. And even tho’ weez boff pure breeds still we ended up needin’ wescuein’. See it dusn’t matter how purretty we awe, or what twaits and attwibutes we might have, ny of us can end up in a shelter or wescue. And at this time of year, these organizations whose wesources awe alweady stwetched to da limits, must deal wiff a pawpulation explosion evewy year.
Shelters and wescues can use donations of gween papers and supplies year wound, but specially this time of year. They need food and litter, blankets, toys, medicine, cleanin’ supplies, and volunteers just to name a foo. So we encourage you to check wiff yous local shelters or wescues to see how you can help. Maybe yous finkin’ ‘bout fostewin’. Mommy sez it’s vewy wewardin’ to know dat you saved a life and helped it to get a furever home of it’s own. Or maybe yous can help clean cages or purrticipate in spay/neuter clinics. Or maybe yous a fantabulous fotogwafur and can take fotos of da kitties up fur adoption to put up on websites. There’s sumfin’ dat evewypawdy can do. And ifin yous adoptin’ a kitty to shawe yous luv wiff, member to spay and neuter. It not only cuts down on da overpawpulation fing but also helps to keep yous furry furiend healffy.
Now fur da weason we wuz absent yesfurday. As weez told you afur we live in a vewy small town and doon’t have a shelter here. What we have is mowe of an old fashioned dog pound. Da peeps here be so backwards they still fink a bullet is da appwopwiate way to euthanize an animal. Many peeps and gwoups have twied to make changes to these purractices to no avail. Anyways, we do have new weaders, so me had to give yous a little back stowry afur we continued. Ow town has city council meetings evewy couple of weeks to discuss da goin’s on in ow town. Da last meetin’ wuz last week. Well ow neighbor mr. W bwought da newspaper down fur mommy to wead on Caturday cuz hims wanted to see ifin hims kuld get her all wiled up. Fur sum weason peeps like to get meez mommy all outta sorts. Anyways, seems dat duwin’ this meetin’ a discussion awose ‘bout kitty cats and how peeps not be keepin’ ‘em confined to their house. Well da city council sed dat ow towns “shelter” isn’t equipped to house cats, never has been and never will be. And dat accordin’ to State law all cats awe classified as FERAL and must be dealt wiff diffewently than dogs.
What’s dat? Oklahoma state law classifies cats as FERAL? Hmmmmmm Why is it then dat we have to have vaccinations? Or be licensed? And just how come there be shelters fwuout da state that house, and wehome cats evewy day? And why is it a cwime in this state to abuse a kitty cat? Well mommy wuz livid!! Her wuz angwy at da ignowance of city council members and da newspaper. Awen’t newpapers posed to investigate and weport facts? Cuz they didn’t even put quotation mawks wound dat statement. Well altho’ weez lived here in Oklahoma fur quite a foo years now mommy sed she knew she didn’t know all da laws and maybe she missed sumfin’. So she ‘cided to find out da twuff. Awe we of da feline purrsuasion classified as FERAL in this here state?
Mommy spent da entire weekend lookin’ up laws. And da only feral animal evew discussed wuz hogs. Yep we have feral hogs in Oklahoma. But nuffin’ ‘bout cats bein’ feral. So when Monday wolled wound, mommy got on da fone and hers search continued. Mommy is now discussin’ this ignowant statement/belief wiff members of da Oklahoma State Senate; cuz nopawdy else in da state has evew heard such nonsense. And da Senate wuz quite innewested in just why ow town still be usin’ bullets to solve their “stway” purrawllem. We don’t zactly have an answer fur ya’ today, cuz they’ll be getting’ back to us once they wesearch and look into this matter, but weez can purretty safely say dat da species Felidae is NOT classified as FERAL by da state of Oklahoma. Weez’ll keep ya’ updated and mommy’s gunna be writin’ a letter to da editor and contactin’ da city council ‘bout this. Mommy fawt settin’ da wecord stwaight wuz mowe purrtant than visitin’ or a posty. But weez back now and as soon as we get da word weez’ll tell ya’ zactly what da Senate sez.
Meowllo evewypawdy here we awe wiff anudder Blest Sunday posty. You might find this a bit odd, but today weez gunna focus on a purroduct we got fwum Chewy this mumff to weview. Weez gunna tell ya’ why we fink this mumffs offewin’ is a blessin’. As you know weez not been weviewin’ fur Chewy long, but weez been ordewin’ fwum them since purretty much da beginnin’ of da company. So we wuz fwilled when they chose us too weview fur ‘em. And so faw weez at least liked most of da purroducts weez twied. There’s been a foo ifin yous member dat one or da udder of us wuzn’t cwazy ‘bout, but hey yous can’t expect evewy cat to like evewyfin’, so dat’s bound to happen evewy once in a while. Mommy sez it’s rare to evew find a purroduct dat all cats like, and in ow house we can’t member da last purroduct dat weez boff went high flyin’ cwazy over sides nip. Till this mumff.
Well mommy wha’cha’ waitin’ on? I’z nawt habz anee fummz soz youz gunna habz too owe pin it.
We got ow package fwum chewy.com and at da time we wuz boff nappin’, so mommy set iit down and went back to whatevew her wuz duin’. A foo hours passed and sis Lexi came up fwunt to let mommy know she wanted a tweat or sumfin’. Since she lost so much weight weez been getting’ a foo extwa tweats off and on fwu out da day, and so she wuz wantin’ sum. Mommy pulled out da Chewy.com package and opened it up and took out a bag of tweats. Well soon as me heard dat wumblin’ oof da package me wuz off da top of da cat twee and wight beside sissy. Mommy took a kupple fotos and then opened one of da packages. Oh da smell of divine goodness. Me stawted meowin’ and sissy stawted gwabbin’ at da package. Mommy laffed and sissy stawted meowin’. Mommy wuz takin’ faw too long. Finally she got da package of tweats open and poured a foo in hers hands and…Wow wuz they evew good. What were they you ask? Well let me just tell ya’. Da name of this pawsum goodness is Canidae Grain Free Pure taste wiff fwesh chicken.
Oh wow mommy these smell pawsum.
Mommy kuldn’t believe hers eyes. We wuz boff scawffin’ ‘em down as quick as mommy kulld pour ‘em out. Actually quicker. They be little heart shaped crunchy kiblets. Now member sissy dusn’t have many teefies, but…
Lexi: kwit tawlkin’ bowt minez lack ov teef Dezi. I’z habz purrlenty to chawmp deez down wiv. And ledid me tell youz, I’z wuz chawmpin’ fazt. Deez feengz beez delishuz.
Gibz me sum mower mommy, doez iz good.
Yes sissy you did at dat. And so did me. Yous wight they awe delishus. Mommy’s even been puttin’ sum in sis Lexi’s noms to encourage her to eat mowe at meal times. Amazingly enuff weez boff give ‘em 4 paws up. So what do they have in ‘em and is it enuff fur mommy to like ‘em too? Ingredients awe: chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, peas, potatoes, chicken fat, lamb meal, natural flavor, menhaden fish meal and those mixed tocopherals. And Canidae’s development center and manufacturin’ facility be in Brownwood Texas, wight here in da USA and one state ovew fwum us. All in all mommy’s purretty happy wiff ‘em too. Mommy even called ‘em to see ifin they wuld give her da full analysis on ALL their foods. Customer Service wuz gweat and even knew all da nummews. So it’s safe fur sissy to eat even wiff hers kidney disease. And since we boff still like ‘em weally well, mommy’s fur sure gunna get us sum of da noms.
Wecently we wuz talkin’ to sum peeps dat have ordered stuff only to have their kitty turn up their nose. And they wuz complainin’ ‘bout da fact dat ordewin’ meant they had to buy a case of sumfin’ and then they wuz stuck wiff it. Well let me tell ya’ a little mowe ‘bout Chewy.com, cuz ifin yous ordewin’ fwum them, yous nevew STUCK wiff sumfin’ yous kitty won’t eat or use. See Chewy offers a complete wefund fur any unused purrtion when you buy fwum them. And it won’t even cost yoou to send it back. And their customer service is available and furiendly 24/7/365. Now tell me, can you beat dat? And chewy.com also has a low flat rate shippin’ purrcie on all orders unnew $49.00 and furee ifin ovew. And they ship wiff Fed Ex, so you get yous order purretty quick like.

Meowllo evewypawdy, hope yous all have a pawsum weekend. Weez gunna twy to do sum welaxin’ today, so weez’ll get by to visit wiff ya’ as soon as pawssible. And since weez gunna welax a bit, we fawt weez wuld take it easy on meez posty too. Weez joinin’ Athena and Marie fur da Caturday Awt Bloghop today. And as usual, ow awt is mostly point and click. Enjoy.
Meowllo evewypawdy, it’s finally Furiday. We be weally happy it’s da weekend. It’s been a long and busy week so weez lookin’ furward to sum west time this weekend. As you wecall it wuz mommy’s doctow pointment week and then cleanin’ day to get weady fur inspections. Then there wuz moppin’ after inspections cuz da exterminator came too. And then yesfurday da lawn cwu wuz here fur their furst visit of da season. So mommy sez she’s just kinda wunnin’ on autopilot. Now most of ya’ know dat meez not to fond of da lawn cwu and me wuns and hides. Mommy’s twied just ‘bout evewyfin’ to help me not be so skeered. Cuz it’s not just da lawn cwu, it’s also stowms and fireworks. Mommy’s been wantin’ to twy thise flower essences, they just haven’t been in da budget. So she finally found a cheap knock off and bought it. We actually got it at da end of last mumff. So when she saw da lawn cwu twuck today she fawt it wuz da purrfect oppurrtunity to give it a twy.
What’cha got there mommy?
Me wuz hangin’ out on da top of da cat twee when mommy bwought over this bottle and a dwopper full of sumfin’. She stuck it up there and sed, “Open wide Dezi.” Yeah wight. Have you ever seen a cat just “open wide” wiffout sniffin’ whatevew be in their face furst? Me will tell ya’, No you haven’t, and neevew did me. Of course me did what any self wespectin’ kitty wuld do and stawted sniffin’. Me wusn’t so sure ‘bout dat dwopper full of whatevew. So no, me didn’t stick meez tung out and say ahhhh. So mommy put a foo dwops on meez paw furs and a little on meez side. Yep, yous guessed it, me stawted lickin’. and then da lawn cwu guys wuz on ow porch and me stawted wunnin’. Me finally weappeared 5 hours later and 20 minutes after da lawn cwu left. So weez guessin’ eevew da cheap knock off dusn’t work, or me didn’t get enuff of it to weally test it out. So guess what mommy will be duin’ da next time da lawn cwu shows up? weez’ll let ya’ know how it turns out. MOL
Me dusn’t know ’bout dat mommy. Why dusn’t sis Lexi twy it furst?
Now as you all know me joined up wiff da bloggn’ A to Z challenge this mumff and today’s letter is I. Me fawt dat wuz kinda a twicky one, but one word kep comin’ to meez mind and so me told mommy to look it up. So she typed in da search baw, Injuries in indoor only cats. As most of you know we be indoor only cats. Mommy has always believed it wuz faw safer fur us. Da only time we ever go outside is wiff mommy in ow stwoller, and usually wiff a hawness and leash just in case. Da only exception to this is when weez stwollin’ wound ow pawtment complex and fur occasional VET visits. We don’t always have to wear a hawness and leash duwin’ those times. Ow stwoller is quite secure, but mommy dusn’t like to take chances. And there’s a clip in da stwoller to attach da leash to, so it shuld be assumed dat even da manufacturers of stwollers feel dat there is a need fur additional safety measures.
We know a lot of you let your kitties go outside unsupervised and/or off leash. We fink da only kitty what belongs outside wiffout supervision is a Feral. And we gotta tell ya’ weez not weal cwazy ‘bout dat, but we know there’s a weason they be called Feral. We weally wanna talk ‘bout da dangers to us kitties out in this big old world. There awe diseases yous kitty can get/develop if exposed to da gweat outdoors. And sum of these be fatal. Among those awe: FeLV, FIV, FIP and URI’s. We can also get fleas, ticks, ear mites, ringworm and intestinal worms. And while these may not be fatal, they awe certainly not pleasant fur us or you. And then there be fings like cars, dogs, wild animals, poisons, and old fashioned animal cwuelty. There awe a lot of not so nice peeps out there hoo abuse kitties fur amusement, and just plain meanness.
And da twuff is dat weez been so domesticated dat weez not weally need to go outside. We do need a cat furiendly home wiff sumfin to scwatch on and lay on and play wiff. A pawdee box, high quality meaty noms and furesh water. You can even gwo us sum cool gwass to eat when ow tummies be upset. And you know weez not have much munny but even wiff a limited income mommy wuz able to cweate a funtastic kitty abode. Gwanted weez have a lot of new pawsum cat furniture and toys fanks to ow furiends here and on Facebook. But all yous kitty weally needs is to be kep safe and luvved. So weez hope yous give these fings a fawt da next time yous open da door fur kitty to go outside. Weez lost so many furiends to fings dat kulda been purrvented ifin only they had stayed inside da house. And weez just don’t wanna lose any mowe. Weezz joinin’ up wiff Rascal and Roccos Pet Pawade Blog Hop and da Cweate wiff Joy Furiendship Furiday blog Hop.
