Chatting Cats: Remembering A Snow Fall

Published on by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

MeOWwwww  RaenaBelle, did you see the snow yesfurday? Me thought we might not get any since it was stormin’ and rainin’. But it was so cold the raindrops turned to snow drops mid air. 

 

Dezi looks out window from cat tree

 

 

 

          Really sissy? The cold can make rain turn to snow?  

 

Raena sits pretty on the cat tree

 

 

 

What? Uh…sure it can Raena, didn’t you see it?  

 

          No, I’s was too busy snugglin’ with mommy. Is it still snowin’? Do ya’ think mommy will let us go out and play in it? 

 

Raena gets lap loving

 

 

 

Nah, Fankfully the snow’s stopped fur now and the sun’s come out. Mr. Sun ain’t doin’ anythin’ to warm us up, but at least he’s makin’ the snow melt. The weather guessers had furcasted 8” of snow plus an inch of ice. Fankfully, they were wrong as usual. As fur playin’ in it, let me tell ya’, it’s not as fun as it might sound Raena. Me ‘members me’s furst time in the snow. A long time ago, me thought me just had to go out and see it. So, mommy wheeled us outside and me accidentally pushed the joystick on the wheelchair furward and we fell off the sidewalk and right into that cold white stuffs. Me couldn’t get in the house fast enuff. Me’s sis Lexi laffed at me furever ‘bout that. 

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcherSee the bottom of that box behind me? Mommy says

it’s our new scratcher lounger.

 

 

 

          Really sissy? You made mommy fall into the snow? 

  

Not on purr-puss Raena, it was an accident. Trust me, that was the last thing me wanted to do. (Dezi goes back to eating her breakfast to distract her from the memory of falling in the snow)

  

Dezi eats her freeze dried cat food

 

 

 

          What did it feel like sissy? Was it soft?  

 

Can’t you see me’s eatin’? (Dezi thinks back to that day when she was just a small kitten who ended up in the snow with mommy A and the wheelchair falling on top of her)  To be honest Raena, me doesn’t ‘member that much ‘bout it. Me just ‘members it was cold and me wanted to go back inside where it was toasty warm and safe. Me feels so bad fur the kitties that have to live out in all that cold. 

 

          I’s do too sissy. I’s so wish every kitty could have a happy and luvvin’ furever like we do. It’s a new year and I’s gonna purray that more kitties find homes than ever befur.  (Raena jumps up on the back of mommy A’s chair and begins to take a mid morning bath) 

 

Raena bathes atop the chair back

 

 

 

That’s a good idea Raena. Me will join ya’. Meowin’ of the new year, we’re gonna be pickin’ up where we left off with our Service Cat Furiday posty’s startin’ February 1st. So, we’d like to remind ya’ to send us your questions and article suggestions. You can do so via our Contact us page or sendin’ us an email at: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com. We’ll be delvin’ deeper into Nutrition and the foods we kitties do/should eat, as well as takin’ a look at the food/feed available on the market. We hope you’ll join us.  

 

          I’s fur sure can’t wait sissy. I’s been doin’ lots of research to get ready. I’s even heard mommy sayin’ we were gonna be tastin’ some new foodables so we can meow the truth. I’s gonna go link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furidays. Will you play with me afterwards?

Chatting Cats: A Countryfied Friday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

(Dezi, laying in the chair and sleeping, mews quietly a few times and then jolts awake)  MeOW Hissssss Move over RaenaBelle, your hoggin’ the mommy warmth. (Looking around and realizing she’s not in the bed and mommy is sitting across the room, she quickly runs over to the cat tree and cleans her paw.)  Kittens!!!  It seems even colder today. 

 

Dezi licks paw while sitting on cat tree and Raena looks out door from small perch

 

 

 

          It is sissy. Don’t you hear the heater keep switchin’ on? I’s heard mommy tell the counselor that she sets it on 55°F, cuz ifin it gets that cold in the house, the we obviously need some heat.  

 

Dezi bathes while sitting on cat tree and Raena looks out door from perch

 

 

 

Me’s thinkin’ she might need to turn it up a few degrees Raena. Like maybe another 10 or so. Ya’ know when the fan’s blowin’ right on ya’ circulatin’ the cold air, ya’ gotta get heat from somewhere. Me knows mommy can’t breathe ifin it gets too hot, but seriously, it ain’t s’posed to be this cold inside the house.  

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap with mouth open and tongue out

 

 

 

          I’s agree sissy. But, I’s don’t think mommy knew it was gonna turn that cold when we went to bed this meownin’. Ya’ know, a storm blew in with high winds, lots of rain and thunder boomers.  

 

 

 

 

You think me didn’t hear it Raena? Me heard it just fine. Boom, boom, boomin’ overhead and blowin’ stuffs all over the place and into windows and doors. Somethin’ kept knockin’ on our window while we were tryin’ to eat dinner. It was somethin’ else. Me thought me just might fall to pieces. 

 

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, least you didn’t run and hide out. We didn’t have to call your name once. Mommy and me are so purroud of you.  

 

 

 

 

Well fanks Raena. Me wanted to be with mommy and help her with her singin’. It always gives me sweet dreams.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Me too sissy. The melody was off the chain last night. I’s bet the winter rose even tried to bloom. 

 

 

 

 

Maybe Raena. Least we didn’t need any help to make it through the night.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap with her paw to her mouth

 

 

 

          Good one sissy. In case ya’ think we’re meowin’ in code or somethin’…we are. MOL  We thought we’d try to incorpurrate the song titles into our conversation. It’s a little harder than we x’pected. But, fur all those that requested mommy to sing some country songs, we’ve finally got a few recorded and hope you enjoy them. You can also go to soundcloud and lissen to the ones we didn’t include in the posty as well as those from last year.  

 

Dezi sits on cat tree with head bowed

 

 

 

Me’s even workin’ on me’s own song. Anyways, we better run. We’ve got lots to do and not much time to do it in. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree looking up

 

 

 

          I’s gonna link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday sissy.

You do that Raena. And don’t furget to join the Blessing Train. We can’t wait to see who be added to the tracks this week.

Chatting Cats: More Plans Ahead

Published on by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

MeOW RaenaBelle, you really did a great job with me’s carnival pawrty. Me wasn’t sure at furst, but you really do have some good ideas after all. The ice cream truck was a great hit. And everypawdy looked so pawsum in their masks. Me knows you worked really hard purrin’ it all together. ‘Specially since our innernets went out and you had to do it all over the weekend. (Dezi walks over to Raena and head bumps her) Fanks, me will plan you a great pawrty next year.  

 

Raena lays atop cat tree with tongue out

 

 

 

          Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fanks sissy. I’s glad you had a good time and liked your pawrty. It was a lotta work and put us way behind in visitin’ our furiends, but ifin you’re happy, it was worth it. Meowin’ of visitin’ our furiends, we’re slowly but surely gettin’ caught up. However, our comments seem to disappear on some of your bloggy’s includin’ the wordpress ones. Now that might be cuz you’re monitorin’ ‘em, but ifin you’re not and don’t see a comment from us in the next few days, purrlease let us know, so we can try to figger out what’s happenin’. You might wanna check your spam folder furst tho’, we have ended up there in the past. 

 

Dezi lays on floor

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me hates it when we get behind. Fankfully most of our furiends unnerstand. On another note, me’s joinin’ the choir at cat scouts, so mommy’s tryin’ to help me record me’s audition track. And me told her she owed our furiends her rendition of Amazing Grace and at least a couple of country songs that they asked fur last year. Now that she has teeth again, she can form words and sing. So it’s gonna be a little busy ‘round here fur the next couple of weeks. 

 

Dezi lays atop the cat tree and Raena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

          I’s just luvs it when mommy sings sissy. ‘Specially when she sings ‘bout us. She makes up the bestest songs ever.

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

Me likes it too Raena. But sometimes, the songs she makes up could use a little work. Ya’ know like when she sings, Dezi, sweet as apple pie? Like, is apple pie even sweet? We don’t even like apples. 

 

          Yeah well, ya’ might have a point there sissy. I’s not sure ‘bout bein’ her punkin’ pie either; but I’s do luvs it when she says we’re purrfect and her purrecious baby girls.

 

Dezi lays on floor

 

 

 

Me kind’a likes those pawrts too Raena. We really are Blest. Ya’ know, the holidays are here and peeps are startin’ to get really busy.  

 

Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

 

          Sure ‘nuff sissy. I’s had mine’s thinkin’ cap on lately and I’s thinkin’ we should post a gift guide with our top picks. Mommy even received this cool new notebook fur furee, to keep track of all our plans and picks. And, ifin you’re like mommy and still like to use paper notebooks, we think you’d luvs it or one like it. Ya’ oughtta check out TeePublic, they’ve got some really cool things that would make great gifts. 

 

Me thinks that’s a great idea Raena. Guess we better get to work on that befur Christmas sneaks up on us. 

 

Raena looks out door from small perchWe thought this foto was kind’a cool the way I’s almost black and white

x’cept fur the outside. Mommy can’t see black and white fotos very

good, so we ‘pawlogize ifin it’s blurry.

 

 

 

          I’s ready sissy. Just let me link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furidays right quick and we can start shoppin’ together. 

 

Dezi bathes, With all this fur it's hard to reach everywhere

 

 

Sure Raena, me will have a little bath while me waits.

 

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

Raena scratches ourpets cat scratcher

Tell All Tuesday: A Cat’s Gotta Scratch #ChewyInfluencer

Published on by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Kittens we’re getting’ a late start today. With the weather bein’ up and down and all over the place, mommy’s body be screamin’. I’s thought we’d never settle down fur sleep last night.

 

Raena lays atop cat tree with tongue out

 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

 

          We didn’t Raena. 5:30 a.m. ain’t night time; it’s the wee, wee hours of the meownin’. Fankfully, we didn’t have to worry ‘bout gettin’ ‘round at any purrticular time so we could get in some cuddle time with mommy. 

 

I’s so luvs cuddlin’ with mommy, don’t you sissy? I’s like cuddlin’ with you too…when you let me. 

 

Dezi stands on cat tree looking out door

 

 

 

          Yeah, well, it’s too hot when we cuddle Raena. T’ween your floof and me’s floof there’s no room fur air. 

 

 

OurPets Cat Scratcher

 

 

 

Whatever sissy. Hey, did you see our new scratcher? I’s luvs to scratch, don’t you? 

 

 

OurPets cat scratcher

 

          Yeah Raena, me does. Me says a kitty can never have too many scratchers. Y, Even a kitty without claws needs a good scratcher. Purrlease, don’t interpret that statement to mean declawing is okay. Never declaw your kitty.

 

Dezi scratches ourpets scratcher while Raena sniffs the back

 

(Dezi and Raena shudder as they think about having their paw knuckles amputated) Oh sissy, I’s can’t even ‘magine what that would be like. Fanky fankfully, we’ll never have to know. And, our new OurPets Alpine Climb Cat Scratcher is the purrfect solution fur all kitties. It actually comes in 2 pieces, so whether you’re a vertical scratcher or a horizontal scratcher, you’ll luvs it. There’s some assembly required, but trust me, ifin mommy can do it, anypawdy can. The name on chewy implies there are different colors, but we received the yellow one just like in the foto. It measures, 18.8” X 8.2” X 10” and can be used laying flat like you see us doin’ it today, or inclined with the bottom attached. It also comes with a bag of catnip and costs $14.39. You can also get it on autoship and save an extra 5%. There are sticky strips that allow the scratcher top to be securely attached to the incline bottom. Let’s see what Chewy says ‘bout it.

Dezi and Raena sniff our pets scratcher

 

 

 

          It didn’t take us long to check it out, did it Raena? We didn’t get the toy Chewy mentions in the description. As soon as mommy put it on the floor me was all over it. Least me was till you came and stuck your floofy paws on it. 

 

Dezi and Raena sniff the ourpets cat scratcher

 

 

I’s wanted to scratch too sissy. Why should you be the only one havin’ any fun? I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s like all kinds of scratchin’, doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s vertical or horizontal, just give me somethin’ to sink mine’s claws into. 

 

Dezi and Raena argue over the ourpets scratcherDezi: Hey, me was here furst!!! (Dezi raises paw and hisses) 

Raena: It’s mine’s turn now, sissy. I’s wanna scratch too.

(We’re posting this foto so you can see we aren’t always purrfect.

Even we have squabbles every now and then)

 

 

          Ya’ know Raena, you mentioned earlier that this pawsum scratcher could be added to an auto ship. And me got to thinkin’, some peeps may wonder why you’d want a scratcher on auto delivery. Me can tell ya’ that we kitties not only like to scratch, but we need to scratch. It’s one of those drives we just can’t ignore. And, a good scratcher is just what you need to make sure kitty doesn’t scratch up your furniture. Most kitties like corrugated cardboard, but they’re not meant to last furever. So, havin’ it on auto ship means kitty will get a fresh new scratcher with each shipment and your couch will stay safe. Me gives the Alpine scratcher 4 paws up. 

 

Raena scratches ourpets cat scratcher

 

 

 

Me too sissy. I’s luvs it, 4 paws from me.. And, when it’s elevated, there’s a small hole that a tiny kitty, one smaller than us, can get into and ambush your fursibs from. MOL  Mommy says the purrice is okay. And as always, Chewy ships all orders $49.00 and up fur furee. With Christmas right ‘round the corner, this would make a pawsum gift. Trust me, any kitty receivin’ this unner their tree is gonna be one happy kitty.

 

Disclaimer: We received the OurPets scratcher in exchange for our honest opinion. As always, we tell it like we see it. We only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and friends. 

 

          That’s true Raena. Me wouldn’t mind gettin’ a scratcher fur Christmas, or any other time fur that matter. Well, me’s gonna go scratch some more and take a nap. How ‘bout you? 

 

Raena washes her eye

 

 

 

I’s gonna take a little bath furst sissy. And then I’s’ll have a nap. 

 

Till the next time………………………………………………Be Blest!!!
