Cat or Dog Lover…Controversy Unleashed

Published on by Service Cats U.S.48 Comments

Meowllo and a happy Wednesday to ya’. Hav you evew wunnewed ‘bout da age old question “Are Dog peeps diffewent than Cat peeps?” And ifin so, what awe those diffewences? Well we set out to figger it out. And OMC is there a ton of infurmation on this topic. But there duz seem to be a consensus on a foo fings. And da biggest is dat there weally awe sum diffewences tween da two.

 dw D n L dove Love tiled

One of da biggest diffewences is dat Dog peeps obey da wules much better than cat peeps. Cat peeps don’t confurm to da nowm as well. Guess dat means ya’ fink outta da box a bit mowe. We know mommy sure duz. MOL Doggy peeps awe mowe extwoverted than da kitty peeps. Stands to weason they be duin’ all dat walkin’ and hangin’ in da dog pawks, while da kitty peeps be hangin’ at home wiff a cat in their lap.

And da most controversial question is: Hoo be smawter? Well fur what it’s worff, in a study of 600 students; da kitty peeps scowed higher on IQ tests than da doggy peeps did. But doggy peeps be mowe twustin’ and lively. Where da kitty lovers be mowe weserved. Although kitty peeps do tend to be a bit mowe open minded and acceptin’ of diffewences and change. Dog peeps awe genewally mowe outgoin’ than kitty peeps. Seems da kitty peeps be kind of stand offish as peeps say ‘bout us cats. Altho’ weez not fink we be stand offish at all.

Now we fink this one is wight on da munny. Dog peeps like companionship but cat peeps seek affection. Cat lovers tend to be mowe sensitive than dog lovers. And tend to purrfur solitude as opposed to crowds. And it seems dat dog peeps be a little mowe dominant than kitty peeps. Hmmmm Maybe kitty peeps awe sneakier and get their way by manipulation. MOL And it seems this same study found dat doggies wuz da most pawpulaw pet. In udder words mowe peeps in this study claimed to purrfur dogs to cats by 60% to 11%. Da udder 29% claimed to eevew like boff or neevew. Neevew, can you magine sumpawdy not likin’ a kitty or a doggy?

 dw Dezi plays-blurrysm

Anyways, it’s just a study. Altho’ sum of it seems to be twu and udders awe twu based on many studies. Da weal twuff is, there’s no absolute in da diffewencess in Cat Lovers and Dog Lovers. There awe no doubt diffewences and these awe most likely to hold twu, but we also don’t fink there will evew be a definitive test dat will give us all da answers. After all this is mostly peeps opinions ’bout themselves. And opinions vawy so widely there can’t be an absolute. Now, me duz hav kitty and doggy peeps as furiends. So tell me, what do yous fink? Duz yous purrsunality fall into da category of yous furry of choice?  

Till da next time…………………..Be Blest!!!

Published on by Service Cats U.S.45 Comments

Meowllo evewypawdy hope yous enjoyed da weekend, cuz it’s Monday again. Fur sum of ya’ dat be da beginnin’ of da work week and fur udders just anudder day. Fur us, it’s gunna be a weview day. We told ya’ da udder day we got to twy this tweat dat sis Lexi weally liked. Well Chewy sent us this pawsum tweat fwum Orijen. You know Chewy has so many pawsum bwands to choose fwum, and da Orijen bwand is a all natural one. Their slogan be Nourish as nature intended. And dat’s da kind of ingwedients dat goes into their food and tweats.

So this tweat we twied is anudder fureeze dwied one. You know dat be ow favowit. And we chose da one called Tundra. It be made wiff ranch raised venison, elk, quail and steel head trout. Don’t those sound like sum yummy ingwedients? We sure fink so. And sis Lexi weally fawt so. Da Orijen bwand be made in Canada. And guess what?  This be anudder tweat dat be edible by boff kitties and doggies. 1 tweat fur da whole house. Isn’t dat gweat?  As me sed, sissy luvs ‘em and gives ‘em a 4 paws up. Yous wanna know ifin me liked ‘em too don’t ya’. Yep, me did. Me wuld giv ‘em 3 paws up. They also cwumble purretty easy so mommy can use ‘em as a toppin’ on ow noms. They come in these little cubes dat purrawlly be bite size fur a medium size doggy. But they be soft enuff to bweak into smaller bites fur us kitties.  

 dw Orijen Tundra

dw Lexi orijen tundra75

So what duz mommy fink ‘bout ‘em? They be fureeze dwied and nuffin’ but da meat. So faw so good. They claim to be low calowie altho they don’t say how many calowies awe in a tweat. They be carbohydwate furee, so dat’s a good fing. They awe purriced ‘tween $5.49 – $12.99, so ‘bout avewage fur this kind of tweat. Da Tundra be easily cwumbled or bwoken so mommy likes dat. They come in a vawiety of flavors and altho’ da same ingwedients be in boff, they do have specifics fur dogs and cats. We just happened to get da dog tweats. Mommy will also sumtimes do this cuz you can get a lawger amount fur not much mowe munny ifin any. In this case, da one we got wuz a 2 oz bag (dog) and it cost da same purrice as da cat bag dat wuz only 1.25 oz. And we got da same ingwedients we just had to bweak them up into smaller bites. So overall mommy gave ‘em a fumms up too. We wuld like to twy da wild boar and da lamb ones too. 

 dw Lexi orijen tundra71

So ifin these sound good to you to, head on ovew to Chewy.com and check ‘em out. While yous there yous might wanna check out all da udder goodies chewy has too. They hav lots of bwands and awe addin’ mowe all da time. And they don’t just hav food and tweats. They also cawry toys and supplies.. You know like da litter and scoop bags fur da dog walks among udder fings. And they always have gweat customer service, flat rate $4.95 s/h and furee shippin’ on all orders over $49.00.   

 dw Dezi St Pats

Disclaimer: We didn’t weceive any gween papers fur this weview. But we did get these pawsum tweats fur furee. Course furee or not it didn’t sway ow opinions as we kitties not care ‘bout munny. And as always we only tell ya’ ‘bout fings we fink ya’ might be innewested in.

Till da next time………………….Be Blest!!!

Caturday News and Updates

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Meollow evewypawdy, hope yous enjoyin’ yous Caturday. And we hope da wedder in yous awea is stawtin’ to clear up and get warmer. It is fur us. Mommy’s had da fans on fur days now. And she even had to use da air conditioner in da caw da udder day. Weez had roofers out here all week so weez all a bit fed up wiff all da noise. Mommy sez she has da mudder of all migwaines and sis Lexi and me fink we purrawlly do too. Pawt of pawtment livin’ means yous not get to choose what work be dun or when it gets dun. Altho’ management has been told fur years they needed to weplace da roof, we just never spected it to happen. After all, it’s like pullin’ teef to get them to do anyfin’. But they awe finally weplacin’ da roof. And these guys even worked in da rain yesfurday. Not like any roofers weez ever known. 

 dw Lexi nip mat92

As me sed last time we wuz able to get a new tire and so mommy and Lexi went to da Vet on Fursday. Da roofers had been wight over head all meownin’ so we wuz boff on edge. Lexi wuz so stwessed out dat when they left she wuz singin’ da song of ow peeps purretty loudly. When dat happens da only fing dat’ll calm us down is mommy singin’ to us. So mommy and Lexi sang togedder fur a bit and then Lexi settled down and they made their way to da Vet. Once there mommy asked him ifin he cawwied any of da calmin flower essences, and hims acted like him had never heard of ‘em. Then it wuz time to look at sissy.

Ifin you can’t see da video, click here.

He felt all over her and mashed hers kidneys and bladder, and twied to look in hers mouff to see ifin she wuz anemic. He sed it wuz too dawk in there to weally tell, but mommy had checked her earlier and kknew she wuz fine. Hims didn’t wun any tests but sed she wuz duin’ faw better than any of hims udder patients in da same condition. Hims sed dat wuz a twibute to mommys care. And even tho’ this wuz a wecheck, hims still chawged us fur an office visit. Mommy asked again ‘bout a blood panel and hims just basically ignored her. So altho’ we can’t afford a lot of tests and stuff, mommy be a little put out wiff him. Seems a lot of us in da blogosphere awe havin’ twubbles wiff ow long time VETs.  

 dw Lexi stroller45

Mommy’s been duin’ a lot of wesearch and asked him ‘bout sum of da udder supplements and tweatments udders awe usin’ and hims dismissed them and sed dat we wuz duin’ all we needed too wight now. Hims hadn’t even heard of one of da purroducts made by da same company as Lexi’s curwent medicine, and it’s used fur da same disease. Mommy’s finkin’ afur long she’s gunna know mowe ‘bout this disease and it’s tweatments than Dr. C duz. She’s not so sure she likes dat idea. She sez she spects mowe fwum ow Vet. But weez set now fur anudder 6 weeks and then weez’ll hav to decide what to do then. Mommy can’t afford to go back evewy 6 weeks and buy da medicine too. Dat’s technically evewy mumff fur those of us dat get paid only once a mumff. We wuz very furtunate to have one of meez furiends and fellow Cat Scout to pay fur sissy’s medicine this time.

Now me has meez own nip mat and Lexi has hers. Fanks Miss Ellen and sweet Tabbies, we do luv 'em. and we even know which one is ours. :)

But sissy shuld also be eating a weally good quality diet wiff da wight purrotiens and not so much phosphorous. Pawently doctows purrscwibe a low purrotien diet in these cases; but it’s not weally da purrotien dat needs to be low, it’s da phosphorous. And da purrotien shuld be top notch. So mommy’s gunna stawt lookin’ wound to twy and find sumfin’ dat meets those wequirements dat sissy will eat. Cuz eatin’ be mowe purrtant than worryin’ ‘bout what’s in it. She has lost a lot of weight, but is holdin’ steady wight now, so dat’s a good fing. Altho’ ideally she shuld put on a little mowe weight. And twust me, mommy be twyin’ to help dat out. Anytime sissy wants sumfin’, she gets it. And weez got a weview comin’ up this week ‘bout sumfin’ sissy has ‘cided she weally likes. She’s still dwinkin’ like a fish which is good; it keeps her hydwated. And in weturn she’s got da biggest clumps ow pawdee boxes hav ever seen.

Arrent deez pencils grayt mommy? Dey sorrtah look like Dezi and me. Fanks Miss Ellen.

Now on anudder note, member we got a nip mat fwum Miss Ellen, and da Tabbies o Twout town told her to send theirs to us too. They actually won theirs but wanted us to boff hav a mat of ow own. So Miss Ellen sent us da furst one and wiff it she sent da cutest pencils fur mommy. They hav pictures of kitties on them dat wesemble us. And wiff da second mat came a Seuss hat dat we purrawmissed at least one of us wuld model. Well wiff all da commotion dat’s goin’ on there’s not a chance mommy’s gunna get dat fing on meez head, so sissy volunteered to model it. Fanks sissy fur enduwin’ da foto shoot.

And we got a email da udder day dat’ll make all meez bacon luvvin’ kitties happy. Seems Friskies has lissened to all of us and they’ve put weal bacon in a line of their canned noms. They even hav a contest goin’ on where you kuld win a whole year of these bacon noms. While mommy and sissy wuz out, they picked up a kupple cans of these baconated noms cuz mommy found a coupon fur them; and OMC Lexi licked da bowl clean. This is not da purrfect food fur hers condition, but anyfin’ hers eats like dat makes mommy happy. Specially since she’s been not eatin’.

 dw Lexi scratcher64

Well guess dat’s all fur today. We wanted to update evewypawdy ‘bout sis Lexi. As a weminder, we hav an amazon wish list wiff a link on ow sidebaw and mommy will be updatin’ it this weekend. there’s a lot of stuff on it to meet most pocket books.

You will hav to enter ow email addwess which is also listed on da link, and any help will fur sure be purreciated. We awe goin’ fwu littler like cwazy wiff sissy makin’ such lawge deposits and offen. Fank you all fur bein’ ow furiends and fwamily and fur yous continued purrayers. We say dat’s why sis Lexi is duin’ so good. It’s cuz of all da luv, support and purrayers of ow furiends and fwamily.
