Published on by Service Cats U.S.13 Comments

Well Furiday is here and we’s all welkumin’ in da weekend. We was gunna take today off, but it’s another special day in da Cat Blogosphere so we kuldn’t let it go wiffout sayin’ a little sumfin’. You know when we got started in Blogville we knew absolutely nuffin’. We don’t member exactly how we furst found out ‘bout BlogPaws or da Cat Blogospere, but we found ‘em purretty early on. While BlogPaws is a community fur all pet bloggers and has things like conventions and such; da Cat Blogosphere is a smaller group of just us Cat bloggers.

Da Cat Blogosphere is a place where we can go and link up and see other cat bloggers posts as well. It’s a place dat lists all da special days we celebrate here in Blogville. And when there’s a birthday or blogoversary or even a death, you know you can count on it bein’ posted at da Cat Blogosphere. But hey, it’s not run by a machine. Sumpawdy has to be respawnsible fur puttin’ all dat infurmation together and postin’ it fur all of us to see. And let me tell you, it’s not an easy job. We only have our blog to keep up wiff and we get behind and furget things here all da time.

We thought we shuld give a little background ‘bout da Cat Blogosphere cuz altho’ we found it early on, we’s recently talked wiff more than a few kitty bloggers who didn’t know it was here. Paw on any Cat Blogosphere in red to go right on over and check it out fur yous self. Ifin you have any special days you want listed on da calendar, all you have to do is submit ‘em. You know like birthdays, gotchadays, blogoversaries and da like. And dat brings me back to da part ‘bout it not bein’ a machine. There’s a real live purrson who takes care of all those calendar listings and postin’ da daily link up.

Well it’s day 2 of da 3 day quote challenge, so we have another insightful posty fur ya’. Course it’s only insightful ifin you think so, but me’s gunna try. We just luv da Golden Rule dat we posted ‘bout yesfurday and we’s not sure we can top it. But furst let me give ya’ da rules of da challenge.  

 

1.  Post fur 3 consectutive days 

2.  Choose and share 1 to 3 quotes each day

3.  Challenge 3 additional bloggers each day. 

And we’s sure we missed it sumwhere but surely ya’ need to thank and link back to da blogger who challenged you. So fanks again Menagerie Mom of Four Legged Furballs. And we’s leavin’ da challenge open to whoever wuld like to post. Just follow da rules and have fun.  

 

So now on wiff our quote. Mommy used to watch this show called Designing Women. Sum of ya’ might be old enuff to member it. Anyways, there was an episode dat contained a quote dat mommy luvved. So much so she still members it today. It was sed by da character Minnie who was a guest fur dat episode. And afur anypawdy gets their panties in a wad, we wrote it just like it was sed; no catifyin’ of da quote. Da quote is: 

We ain’t what we should be, We ain’t what we gonna be, but at least we ain’t what we was.”

 

Mommy sez dat be very powerful when ya’ fink ‘bout it. Everything and being on this planet is in a constant state of change; hopefully fur da better. So dat’s our quote fur today. We’s got mommy’s monthly doctors pointment today, so weez’ll be round to visit as soon as we can. Da weather has been really nice and warm, but of course it turned cold last night, so weez’ll be bundlin’ up to stay warm. Mommy sez me has to go now so we can get ready. We hope you’re all stayin’ warm and safe and havin’ a gweat day.

Mixers Monday: Boost Your Pets’ Food

Published on by Service Cats U.S.25 Comments

Well meowllo Monday, weez havin’ a Mixer today. We totally missed a day. Fur all of ya’ dat follow us regular, you’re purrobly wunnerin’ where we was and what happened to Blest Sunday. Well weez still blest, no worries there, but mommy was in so much pain she just flaked out when it came to helpin’ me and sis Lexi on da catputer. It’s winter time in da South and dat means wonky weather and wonky mommy. She purromissed to try to do better. So anyways, weez on to our Mixer Monday. Me knows you really wanna know what me’s talkin’ ‘bout. As part of da Chewy.com bloggin’ team we get to review sum gweat purroducts, and da one we have fur ya’ today is no different.

As a lot of ya’ know mommy switched up me’s noms recently cuz of da Cystitis. At this point she sez it was kinda a blessin’ in disguise cuz she was able to get me close to eatin’ a raw diet. Me always luvved fureeze dried treats, but not at meal time. But now…dat’s all me eats. Happy Dezi equals happy mommy. So when Chewy offered to let us try da Nature’s Variety Instinct Raw Boost Mixers we was all in. Mommy chose da rabbit furmula fur us, cuz as ya’ know we do luv us sum ‘wascally wabbit’. Now let me tell ya’ these mixers ARE NOT a balanced diet. Dat means they can’t be fed by themselves as your kitty or doggies only food. Thus da name ‘Mixers’. Da ingredient list looks purretty pawsum. 

dw-instinctrawboostmixers1

Ingredients

Rabbit, pork liver, pork heart, pumpkinseeds, carrots, apples, butternut squash, ground flaxseed, montmorillonite clay, dried kelp, broccoli, mixed tocopherols, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, rosemary extract, blueberries, dried chicory root 

 

They look like little cylindrical pellets and have a crunch to them. Ifin you’re tryin’ to get your kitty off of da dry kibble they wuld make a gweat topper to get fluffy eatin’ better. Da pieces vary a little in size, and me’s a picky girly and likes everythin’ to be bite size; so mommy has to bweak up da larger pieces. Mommy sez they’re not so hard dat her arthritic hands can’t manage it. And they be made here in U.S. facilities. They come in a 6 ounce bag and fur kitties they come in 2 flavors, chicken and da rabbit we tried. Now dat da business be behind us, let’s get on wiff da eatin’.  Sissy why don’t you tell everypawdy what you think ‘bout da Instinct Raw Boosters Mixers? 

dw-instinctrawboostmixers2

Faynkz Dezi. I lubz da rabbit mixerz. Mommy addz lotz of water to mine and they puff up a little and don’t habz da saym krunch az they do dry, but they still tayzt grayt. I hayng over da edge of da tayble waytin’ fur mommy to bring my playt. She sez she’z worried I’z gunna topple off da tayble one of theze dayz. But dat’z not da poynt. I give theze Mixerz 4 pawz up.  

dw-instinctrawboostmixers3

Fanks sissy. Me’s gotta tell ya’ me worries da same thing. Anyways, glad you like ‘em. Now on to me’s ‘pinion. Me has never been da kitty dat meowed fur her meal. Me waited patiently and quietly fur mommy to bring me’s plate. Well not anymore. As soon as me can see dat mommy has da food in our plates, me runs to da livin’ room where me eats and starts meowin’ fur mommy to hurry up and bring me’s plate. As me sed earlier, mommy has to bweak up da larger bits but me licks da plate clean. So me gives these Mixers 4 paws up too. So dat’s 8 paws up fur da Instinct Raw Boost Mixers. Mommy, what do you think?  

dw-Dezi1-163 (640x438)

Well Dezi I like that you girls love them. And I like that the first ingredient is meat. Altho’ the bag is only 6 ounces, there’s actually a lot in it. They work great to stretch out your regular food since most freeze dried food is expensive and comes in small sizes. They also would have been a great choice for transitioning you from kibble to good food. And I like that the price, under $15.00 makes them affordable. So I give the Instinct Raw Boost Mixers 2 thumbs up.

Fanks mommy. So duz dat mean we’ll be getting’ more? While mommy thinks dat over, me wants to tell ya’ dat we received these Mixers furee of charge fur our honest opinion. We didn’t get any gween papers, but hey, sissy and me can’t eat da gween anyways. Furee didn’t change our opinion as you know we always tell it like it is, good bad or otherwise. And we only share those things we use or have tried ourselves and think wuld be of innerest to you all.  Member to check out all da pawsum purroducts at Chewy.

Blest Sunday: Service Cats Never…

Published on by Service Cats U.S.34 Comments

Well as you can see by da title of meez posty you are all in fur a service cat story today. And it all took place yesfurday. Really it started even afur we woke up, but we can’t really tell ya’ ‘bout sumfin’ we slept fru, right? MOL  So anyways, there we was all cozy and warm wiff da lectric blanky and down blanky and da fuzzy soft blanky me has suckled to not so soft anymore soundly sleepin’ and suddenly mommy sez, “Girls, we gotta get up now.” Even tho’ she spoke in dat soft wake us up voice, it thundered fru da silence of da meownin’ wiff it’s urgency. It was da gotta get up voice dat meant mommy had to visit da pawdee box room and fast. (Fur all our new readers, mommy can’t move anything below her neck in da meownin’ time till her muscles and nerves warm up. She can’t walk till she takes her medicine and it kicks in, so we are respawnsible fur gettin’ her movin’ and drivin’ da wheelchair to da pawdee box room when we wake up) So sis Lexi and me skipped stretchin’ and duin’ all we kuld to avoid steppin’ or pushin’ on mommys belly; sumfin’ you don’t wanna do when she needs to visit da facilities, started massagin’ hers arms and legs. When all of a sudden…well…

Dezi profiled on the cat tree lookin' back from the window

Sissy musta had da same urge as mommy cuz afur we kuld even blink she stood up, stomped on mommys belly and headed down da steps to da pawdee box room. Not cool sissy. Now mommy was turnin’ yellow; and a bit green wiff envy dat sissy at her age kuld still move so fast. Anyways, fankfully by dat time mommy’s arms was startin’ to move a bit. Me has never pushed mommy into da chair by meez self afur and she was still on hers back, so this was gunna be tricky. But me was gunna try. So mommy started to reach fur da bars to pull and me started pushin’ on mommys side. Oooooops, maybe not da bestest place to push cuz me thinks mommy turned another shade of yellow. And outta da blue Lexi came flyin’ back up da steps and right on to mommys tummy/bladder to help. A little girl power later and we was wheelin’ to da pawdee box room wiff a happy mommy. You can just use yous magination fur what might have gone on in there cuz we be purroper Belles and it ain’t pawlite to talk ‘bout such things in mixed company.

 

Anyways, afur ya’ know it we was headin’ down da hall to da kitchen so mommy kuld fix us bwekky and have her a cup of coffee. We always stop off and crack open da front door just so we can see outside. So mommy pulled da door open and da three of us peeked round and…”No Way!!!” All our eyes was big as dinner plates. Mommy quickly shut da door and slowly opened it again. And again da three of us peeked round da door to look out. OMC  S N O W!!! We all sat back in da chair and mommy sed, “Girls, we should just go back to bed.” We didn’t but it did sound like a good idea. Me hopped off da chair and onto da cat tree fur a closer inspection of da fallin’ white stuff as mommy made our bwekky. Sis Lexi went on into da dinin’ room and hopped on da table to wait fur her plate. She didn’t care at all ‘bout all da fallin’ snow. Anyways, mommy sed meez title was posed to be sumfin’ ‘bout da oopsies service cats sumtimes makes, but me sed Service Cats Never make oopsies. Bad idea or not, we must have meant to mush mommys bladder. We are cats after all, and cats always mean what they do, right?

We know you can't see da snow fallin' but it sure nuff is.
We know you can’t see da snow fallin’ but it sure nuff is.

 

Well snow and all weez very blest to have da warmth and coziness of our home and each other. We are also blest to have all of you. Fank you fur bein’ our furiends. Mommy still hasn’t finished meez Cardwood Derby car fur Cat Scouts. She got a reprieve and it’s gotta be finished and posted by this Furiday, so weez gunna be busy this week tryin’ to finish up. She made a real mess wiff meez furst box and weez now workin’ on box 3. Me hopes this one works cuz me dusn’t fink any of da neighbors have any more boxes we can have. Maybe meez posty shulda been ’bout mommy’s oopsies and not those of Service Cats.

Dezi looking back from the window on the cat tree licking her lips

Have you or your cats/anipals ever made a oopsie of sum kind furst thing in da meownin’?
