Chatting Cats: Getting Old’s No Fun At All

Published on June 13, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.22 Comments

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s gonna be one of those days. Mommy’s not yet finished her furst cup of coffee and she’s already yellin’ at her new smarty pants fone. I’s not sure who Okay Google is, but accordin’ to mommy she’s a bossy idiot.

RaenaBelle!!! Me thinks you’re usin’ the idiot word too much these days. It’s just not nice.

But sissy, that’s what mommy said. She told her she didn’t wanna go that way to the dentist this time, she wanted to go thru Ardmore. And all that Okay Google could say is “hmmmmm I don’t know how to help you with that.” Mommy’s been screamin’ at her to quit redirectin’ the directions to the quickest route. Ya’ know, mommy wants to take a safer route today, but she needs that silly fone fur directions. (Raena shakes her head)

Well Raena, ya’ know mommy’s eyes aren’t what they used to be and it’s hard fur her to see the writin’ on the maps. Me knows she was lookin’ at the atlas last night and mumblin’ ‘bout the tiny purrint and gettin’ old.

Well sissy, sounds like we need to learn how to read a map so we can give mommy directions.

Sure Raena, me will put that right up there with make mommy a cup of coffee. We kitties can’t read the map any more than mommy can. Besides, me heard mommy say that she’d just go to Ardmore and then ask the silly smarty pants fone fur directions.

Sounds like mommy’s outsmarted the smarty pants fone to me, sissy. I’s knew our mommy was smart. Meowin’ of dentists, fanky fankfully, we got our money back from Aspen Dental over the weekend so mommy can pay the new dentist today. I’s so glad we don’t have to deal with those peeps anymore.

Me too Raena. Mommy used to get so stressed befur her ‘pointments that she almost made herself sick. Meowin’ of ‘pointments, did you see the card me got from the V-E-T? They actually wanted me to tell mommy to call them to schedule a ‘pointment fur them to stab and manhandle me. Hmmmpht Like that’s gonna happen. What self respectin’ kitty in their right mind would willingly tell their human to take them to the V-E-T? Not this one me tells ya’. Nope, no way.

What are you lookin’ at? Don’t you be gettin’ any

ideas ’bout pokin’ me with that.

Well, good luck with that one sissy; I’s think mommy already saw the card. Besides, why would you think you could get outta goin’ when I’s had to go the day befur mine’s Gotchaday?

But Raena, you didn’t get poked and jabbed on your visit. They wanna do all kinds of unmeowable things to me. It’s just not fair, me tells ya’, not fair at all. Every year they think they oughtta jab me with their huge needles.

I’s feelin’ all better mommy, let’s go home.

Every year sissy? Does that mean I’s gonna have to go back too? They already tried to kill me the other day. I’s know they’re plannin’ and plottin’ mine’s demise. The kitties in the waitin’ room when we left told me so. Their names were Thelma and Louise. I’s told ‘em to run fur their lives when their carrier doors opened. I’s told ‘em not to stop fur the bonito flakes we left on the table. I’s sure hope they got out okay. They reminded me of your pawsum sis Lexi. They were big ol black tabby kitty girls…and I’s do mean big.

Really Raena? Me hopes they got away too. Ya’ know, we oughtta check fur some new hidin’ spots so mommy won’t be able to find us to take us to the ol stabby place. Me saw you watchin’ mommy drag stuffs outta the furbidden room (closet), did she make enuff room fur us to get in and hide?

It sure looks like fun in there mommy. Where’d you get all that stuffs?

I’s don’t think so sissy. Who knew mommy had that many clothes?. I’s never seen her wear any of ‘em befur?.

Yeah Raena, it’s been a while. Those are mommy’s dressy clothes that she only wears fur special occasions. She hasn’t had much cause to wear ‘em in quite some time. Me does ‘member a time when she’d shimmy and shake into somethin’ called panty hose and shapers and then pull out somethin’ really nice from the furbidden room. Since we go to church at home now, mommy says she doesn’t need to wear the hose and shapers anymore. Truth be told, me doesn’t think they’d fit. MOL

Ooooh Sissy, you better not let mommy hear you meow that. I’s think that might hurt her feelings.

Sometimes the truth hurts, Raena. You know mommy says we should always tell the truth, even ifin it’s not necessarily nice.

Uh, Mommy also says ifin ya’ can’t say somethin’ nice then don’t say anythin’ at all. I’s purretty sure implyin’ mommy’s fat would fall unner that category.

Fat? Me didn’t call mommy fat, you did and me’s tellin’. MOL You’re in trouble now. (Dezi runs to mommy laughing all the way)

(Raena runs after Dezi meowing) Wait!!! Sissy, I’s didn’t call mommy fat, you did. I’s can run faster than you. Besides, I’s the baby, who do you think mommy’s gonna believe? I’s gotta hurry and finish mine’s brekky so we can get ready to go to Tishomingo today. Fanky fankfully, it’s not s’posed to storm today. Maybe we can stop fur some special treats. Ifin you don’t tell mommy, I’s’ll bring you somethin’ back?.

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

Chatting Cats: 12 Amazing Facts About Us

Published on June 12, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey, everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Wha’ch’all doin’? Is it hot enuff fur ya’? Did you know that some of our furiends on the other side of the world are havin’ winter? I’s couldn’t hardly believe mine’s ears. It’s hard fur a little kitty girl to comprehend how it can be so totally different somewhere else. But sure ‘nuff, it can be.

RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ ‘bout now? Me thought we were gonna meow some amazin’ facts ‘bout us today?. Ya’ know, me’s good furiend CK came up with more questions and we furgot to post ‘em on Blest Sunday.

Your good furiend? Don’t you mean our good furiend sissy? I’s luvs CK too.

Sure Raena, whatever. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) She was me’s furiend furst. Anyways, let’s look at the questions and see how we’re gonna divide ‘em up.

Divide ‘em up? I’s think we should both answer all the questions sissy. After all, I’s sure everypawdy wants to know the same things ‘bout both of us. I’s’ll answer furst and then you, k?

1. What’s your favorite number?

Raena: I’s don’t know that I’s have a favorite nummer…is all a nummer?

Dezi: (shakes head) Me’s favorite nummer is 1, cuz me’s birthday is on the furst day of the month that starts with two one’s, ya’ know, November, 11/1.

2. What is your dream job?

Raena: Oooooh Mine’s favorite job is bein’ mommy’s Service Cat. I’s luvs spendin’ time with mommy helpin’ her and gettin’ luvvin’ all, there it is, mine’s favorite nummer, the time. Don’t you sissy?

Dezi: Yep Raena, me luvs bein’ mommy’s little helper too. But me thinks me would also like to be a famous actor or writer. Ya’ know, me would like to see me’s name in lights.

Raena: Ooooh yeah, me too sissy. I’s wanna be famous too. I’s wanna be just like you.

Dezi: (Dezi whines) RaenaBelle…

3. What is something no one would ever guess about you?

Raena: Even tho’ I’s wanna be just like sissy and do everythin’ she does, I’s an Alpha kitty all the way.

Dezi: You are at that Raena. And as much as mommy wanted me to be the Alpha when sis Lexi went to heaven, all me wanted to do was be mommy’s little baby girly. Me didn’t wanna be in charge fur nuffin’.

4. A trait you have that people would be shocked to know about you?

Raena: Well, I’s guess you could call me a bit of a pest…Sometimes.

Dezi: Sometimes? Hmmmpht Me couldn’t really care less ‘bout treats. Ifin we get ‘em that’s great, ifin we don’t, me doesn’t miss ‘em.

Raena: That’s not a shocker sissy, everypawdy already knows that.

Dezi: Okay Raena. Well, sometimes, me sets Raena up to get in trouble. MOL (Dezi starts rolling around and laughing while Raena looks at her with shock on her face)

Raena: Really sissy? That’s not very nice. Why would you do that?

Dezi: Movin’ right along Raena. We need to answer the rest of these questions.

5. Do you think aliens are real?

Raena: Aliens? Hmmmm I’s don’t know what that is, so I’s s’pose I’s don’t think aliens are real.

Dezi: The only real aliens are the illegal kind.

6. Can you use a hooded litter box?

Raena: I’s use the Litter Robot. It doesn’t have a hood really, it’s more of a spaceship. But we do have a hooded pawtty box that we also use.

Dezi: What Raena meowed. Me purrfurs a covered pawtty box fur sure. It’s the only way to get any purrivacy ’round here.

7. Guilty pleasure?

Raena: Guilty purrleasure? Hmmmm Is that somethin’ dirty or naughty?

Dezi: (Dezi laughs at Raena) Pepperoni pizza. Altho’ we haven’t had one of those in so long me can barely ‘member what it tastes like.

8. If the world ends (as you know it) do you want to survive?

Raena: I’s would only wanna survive ifin mommy and sis Dezi were still with me.

Dezi: Yep, me too. Me wouldn’t wanna survive without mommy. And yes, me would even want the little pest to be with us too.

Raena: Aaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fank you sissy. I’s knew you luvv… (Raena goes to hug Dezi)

Dezi: Ugh, Get off me, Raena. Don’t let it go to your head.

9. Do you have any outstanding markings?

Raena: I’s a bicolored Ragdoll that’s also a tortie. I’s have one orange striped in the middle of mine’s furhead, and an orange tipped ear.

Can ya’ see it?

Dezi: Me’s a Lynx point Ragdoll who’s also a tortie and me has an orange patch on the top of me’s head and stripes on me’s arms and legs.

Ain’t me purretty?

10. Favorite kitten game that you played?

Raena: I’s still a kitten and I’s think every game is fun. Mine’s favorites are the ‘lectric ones. I’s so luvs turnin’ ‘em on and off. MOL

Dezi: Me’s favorite game is anythin’ that involves mommy. Me luvs “gonna ge’cha’”.

11. Do you purr to yourself?

Raena: Sure I’s do. It makes me feel better.

Dezi: Yep, me purrs a lot.

12. Milk or Tuna juice?

Raena: Neither. I’s actually never tried either of them.

Dezi: Does ice cream count?

Ice cream? When did you get ice cream sissy? I’s just luvs purr-layin’ these kinds of games sissy. I’s luvs learnin’ more ‘bout our furiends. I’s hope lots of bloggers play along.

Isn’t sis Lexi bootyful? The canvas is still wrapped in

plastic till mommy decides where to hang it. That’s why it’s shiny like that.

Me too Raena. That actually reminds me ‘bout a give away we won from our pawsum furiend Cody. A while back he was givin’ away a purrsonalized canvas from Petsy. Mommy was really torn ‘bout who to put on it, but she decided to memorialize sis Lexi fur her birthday. Anyways, we got our canvas last week and it looks so purretty. Mommy luvs it. Fanks again fur the oppurrtunity to win such a pawsum purrize, Cody.

It sure is bootyful sissy. Now mommy needs to have one made of us. Ya’ know, we better wrap this up and go finish brekky.

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

Chatting Cats: New Hiding Places And The Forbidden Room

Published on June 6, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Let me tell ya’, soimethin’ is goin’ on ‘round here. I’s not quite figgered it all out yet, but I’s gonna get to the bottom of it soon. Hey, sissy, are we goin’ on another trip? Are we movin’? What’s goin’ on and why is mommy tearin’ the house apawrt?

No, Raena, we’re not movin’. And other than your trip to the V-E-T tomorrow, we’re not goin’ on any trips either. We’ve already meowed ‘bout this tho’. Don’t you ‘member us meowin’ ‘bout the garage sale mommy was gonna be havin’? Well, it’s this weekend, so that means she’s gotta get everythin’ out that she’s gonna put in the sale.

Where’d all this stuffs come from? I’s never seen some of these things. Y, I’s thinkin’ we could have lots of fun playin’ in some of this.

Yeah Raena, we might could. But, ifin mommy gets rid of enuff of that stuff, we might get to play in the closet. Ya’ know, the Furbidden room beyond the closed door in the bedroom.

The closet Furbidden Room sissy? Really? Have you ever been in there?

Yeah Raena, a couple of times when me was really young. Me barely ‘members it, but me was actually trapped in there once. Me could hear mommy callin’ me but me was on a great adventure and didn’t want her to find me, so me didn’t answer. There was all these little hidey spots everywhere. It was so much fun…well it was till the lights went out. Once it got dark me wanted out and fast. Me meowed and squeaked and squealed till mommy furinally heard me and came to me’s rescue. Guess you could say mommy’s rescued me more than once.

That sounds purretty scary sissy. Kind’a like the time I’s got stuck behind all that stuffs in the corner of the bedroom. I’s not sure I’s wanna go on an adventure in the closet Furbidden Room.

Sure you do Raena, we’re cats. We always wanna go where we’re not s’posed too, ‘specially ifin the door is closed. (Dezi thinks for a minute and gets an idea. If she can get Raena locked in the closet, she could have a nice peaceful nap. Then she remembers how frantic mommy A gets when she can’t find the girls and decides she better not trick Raena. But, if it were to happen by accident…) Well, we’ll see. We’ll just have to wait and see ifin mommy actually leaves the door open.

Okay sissy. I’s’ll go in there ifin you do. (Raena thinks to herself that if they get in trouble, she can always tell mommy A it was sis Dezi’s fault.) Guess I’s better go watch mommy to see ifin she leaves the door open. And maybe I’s can play in all the stuffs she’s pullin’ out of there fur now. Wanna play hide and seek sissy?

Sure Raena, you hide furst and me will come and find you…(whispers) maybe.

Okay sissy, close your eyes and count to 10. But don’t fall asleep!!!

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

Chatting Cats: They Better Not Get Any Funny Ideas

Published on June 5, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.30 Comments

Hey, Is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. And it’s Summer time!!! Kittens is it hot here. There was a few rain showers yesfurday that mommy said brought some cooler winds, but she said ultimately those showers were gonna make it hotter than ever cuz of somethin’ called humidity. I’s don’t know much ‘bout humidity but mommy thinks it makes mine’s eyes gunk up more than normal.

Yep Raena, so much so that me heard mommy on the fone with Dr. C. ‘Pawrently she’s plannin’ on takin’ you in fur some tests or somethin’. Me heard her tell him that she didn’t know what ya’ll needed to do but somethin’ had to be done and she wasn’t takin’ we don’t know fur an answer. Me does know that it really bothers mommy when you look up at her and can’t open your eyes fur all the gunk. You might not can see it, but me sees her cryin’. And those ain’t the happy tears.

I’s don’t like it when mommy cries the sad tears sissy, and I’s fur sure don’t like to be the reason. I’s don’t know why mine’s eyes gunk so much but I’s wish they’d stop. Ya’ know, some days they seem fine and others, I’s just can’t see nuffin’. I’s kind’a hope the doctor can figger out why that is. ‘Course, I’s don’t plan on makin’ it easy fur ‘em. After all, it is the V-E-T. MOL I’s’ll meow ya’ another thing too, they bestest not be gettin’ any ideas ‘bout stickin’ no thermometer anywhere near mine’s nether regions. Maybe I’s could manage to cover mine’s bloomers in some of that smelly clay litter we tried out last month. Once that stuffs dries they’d need a sledge hammer to get anywhere near me. MOL

RaenaBelle!!! (Dezi and Raena laugh while thinking about the VET staff trying to clean off dried clay from their rabbity fine bloomer furs.) Me doesn’t think they’ll be takin’ your tempurrture. That is at the other end of the purroblem after all. Me’s purretty sure that has nuffin’ to do with your eyes. But, by all means, give ‘em what fur ifin ya’ see ‘em appurrchin’ with one of those thermometers. Ya’ might wanna watch out fur claw clippers too. Even tho’ mommy thinks the VET charges too much she might have ‘em clip your claws while you’re there.

No Way sissy. Why would she ever do that? She clips mine’s claws purrlenty, I’s fur sure don’t need some silly tech who doesn’t know me clippin’ ‘em.

That’s the truth Raena. Mommy had ‘em clip me’s claws once and that didn’t work out very well fur ‘em. She even had ‘em put those soft paws on me once…well, Dr. C tried. Me let him know in no uncertain terms that wasn’t happenin’. He gave up after the furst one. Mommy siad he charged a furtune fur his tryin’ and she came home and put the rest on me in a matter of minutes. They didn’t work out so good tho’ and so we definitely don’t recommend ‘em. We purrfur that peeps purrvide their kitties with purrlenty of scratchin’ options ‘stead.

I’s don’t think I’s would like those soft paws either sissy. Sorry they were bad fur ya’, but I’s pawfully glad mommy doesn’t recommend ‘em anymore. So, since you’re the one with all the infurmation, just when am I’s s’posed to go see the doctor? Maybe I’s can eat a spider and be too sick to go.

Do you know how stupid that sounds Raena? Too sick to go to the doctor?

That’s not nice sissy. You know how mommy hates that word. Just cuz of that I’s might decide not to share mine’s special treat with you.

What special treat , Raena? We don’t have any treats, mommy said so. We haven’t gotten treats since your birthday.

Don’t furget the pawrty you purromissed mommy.

That may be true sissy, but ‘member how mommy said ifin we had a small birthday pawrty fur me we’d really whoop it up fur mine’s gotchaday? It just so happens, mine’s Gotchday is this Furiday. Yep, I’s been here with you and mommy fur 2 whole years now. And you purromissed to make mine’s pawrty a pawrty to ‘member. So, wha’ch’a got planned? And it better be good.

Oh, Well, Me’s furgot. Ya’ know Furidays are our Service Cat postys.

Then you better get to thinkin’ sissy, cuz I’s gonna be x’pectin’ somethin’ outta this world. ‘Specially ifin I’s have to go to the V-E-T this week.

Well, guess me better go have a nap and see what comes to me.

I’s gonna go ask mommy fur somethin’ special to celebrate with. (Raena looks over at mommy A trying to drink a cup of coffee after having cleaned up a few messes she and Dezi had made before breakfast) Maybe I’s’ll just wait till she finishes her coffee.

Service Cats U.S.

I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.
