Meowllo and welcome to a very special Blest Sunday. We have so many blessings in our lives one post just isn’t enough. But we’ll try. First me wants to say fank you all fur participating in our Blest Sunday postathon. We decided to host this event at the Tabby Cat Club, but thought it should be shared by any blogger who would like to post their many blessings. And it just so happened to fall on the same day that we were going to post after the fundraiser’s end. Things couldn’t have aligned better if we had tried. You may have also noticed this post is being written in human speak. It’s because we want everybody to be able to read every word.
As most of you know by now we’ve only been in social media for about a year now. But in that year we have met so many wonderful people from all over the world. And we have made so many friends. We are so truly blest. Guess we’ll go back to when this all started. Through no fault of our own, our apartment flooded back in July. Not once, but twice, and management kept giving us the run around about repairing and replacing the floors. During all this, mommy’s only sitting recliner broke. Our mattress which is all foam got wet. And so there mommy was sitting on the wet dirty carpet and sleeping in the wet bed. Well, back when we first got our computer we started a facebook page and belonged to a cat group where we made tons of wonderful friends. The cat group site shut down so we all migrated to facebook, and kept in touch.
While mommy was fighting with management trying to get our apartment fixed one of our awesum friends Mary Beth, who we call awnty; was rallying our facebook friends to try to raise some money so we could get mommy a new recliner. She asked for our paypal address and before we knew it our friends started putting monies in our account. And some sent food for us and for mommy, and some sent clothes, and others sent toys and/or treats. All the while they were praying for us and mommy. We can’t thank you all enough for what you did for us. Just know that you all hold a special place in our hearts.

Just a few of the gifts we received.
Another month passed and mommy was still fighting with management trying to get our apartment fixed up, and Miss Linda sent us an email. Conversations back and forth and finally Miss Linda said it would be great if mommy could get a lift chair and we could replace the wet mattress. Mommy agreed, but didn’t see how that was possible. And Miss Linda said she would like to sponsor a fundraiser for us and add to the list steps for Lexi to help her out. So the fundraiser was started. The first of the money that came in was transferred to us and put with what we already had in our paypal account and a chair for mommy was ordered. By this time we were finally back in our apartment and the floors had been replaced and several other improvements had been attempted. (all have been completed at this time) The fundraiser ended early when all funds were raised and exceeded. The final total was $1,952.00. We can’t begin to express our gratitude to everyone who donated. You all gave from your heart and we are so honored to have been the recipients of your love and kindness. Every gift mattered and every gift was precious to us. We watched the fundraiser everyday and mommy would read the names to us and the comments that were made and she would cry tears of happiness and humility. There was a little confusion at one point over the fees, but after much research and a few phone calls we can tell you that the fees WERE NOT charged to us or Miss Linda. The best way to explain is that it’s kind of like using an out of network ATM. The person using the card is charged a fee. But that fee isn’t taken out of the amount they withdraw, it’s charged to their account. So, the final total that You Caring showed is the amount that was deposited into the pay pal account for us.
Well first of all you already know that we were able to get a chair for mommy. And we all love it. It was special made just for her. And we got a new and dry mattress for the bed. It arrived Saturday. So we’re going to be sleeping in a dry bed again. WooHoo And we got a set of steps ordered fur sis Lexi, and the top half got here yesterday. They are being specially made just for her and our bed. Of course you will be seeing lots more of them in the future.

There was also some of you that gave and specified something different. We were so touched by the special friends that gave us their treat money so we could hav a new toy. Mommy ordered us a nip nana cause it’s one of our favorites. And we love it!!! And mommy was given a gift card and told to buy something frivolous with it. She hasn’t yet, but now that all the stress is over and everything’s finally set right, mommy will turn her thoughts to frivolity and make a decision about what to buy. Of course we’ll let you know what she got when she gets it.
We have been so humbled by the love and support we’ve received during all of this. We never expected the depth of generosity we received, but are eternally grateful. Thank you just doesn’t seem adequate but is all we know to say. You’re all so dear to us. And we pray God’s blessings for you. Every prayer, kind and uplifting word and monetary donation are appreciated. We have been alone for such a very long time, but you all have shown us we are no longer alone. Our family has grown exponentially and we are thrilled and honored to welcome you to our family. Our Facebook friends, Blogging friends and Cat scouts all supported us and we hope that we can in some way make you all proud to know us and be a part of our extended family. We are so Blest and so very grateful to be a part of such an awesome community. From the bottom of our hearts…………THANK YOU!!!
OMC Mommy and me went like evewywhere in da world yesfurday. and when we got back home we wuz so tired weez just cwashed. Guess me shuld stawt at da beginnin’ huh?. Well as yous all know of course mommy’s disabled and so hers has to see da doctor evewy mumff fur check ups and purrscwiption wefills. So dat’s where ow day stawted. Well after gettin’ up and havin’ bwekky of course. So anyways off to da doctows office we went. Mommys pointment is always da first one wight after lunch and weez hav to wait outside at least 10 minutes after openin’ time fur them to unlock da doors. But not yesfurday. Yesfurday we got there and they wuz alweady open and when we went inside they acted like we wuz late. But the girls gave me a tweat anyways. And then we wuz back to see Doc. Hims gave me a tweat and a good pettin’ and then him and mommy talked fur a while. And then we wuz off again.
Ow nex stop wuz da dollaw store. Yous know mommy luvs to dwink hers coffee and she needed sweetener. So we went in and got da sweetener and it wuz like sum kinda shoppin’ bug hit mommy. Fur those of yous hoo don’t know, meez mommy is a list purrsun. She dusn’t like to shop or go up and down each aisle, so this wuz stwange indeed. But while we wuz twavellin’ up and down each and evewy aisle, mommy found these little santa harnesses. (see da foto below) She fawt they wuz just adowable. And weez usually go to da old folks home and sing carols afur Christmas, so mommy fawt this wuld be da purrfect outfit fur me. Only they didn’t hav a lawge, and da medium she kep twyin’ to fit me into wuz fur suwe not made fur a full figured gal. Mommy wuz weally disappointed. Me knows dat ifin they had meez size dat harness fur suwe wulda left da store wiff us. Well 2 boxes of sweetener bought, a tweat fur me fwum da cashier, and we wuz off again.
This wuz da Santa suit. Meez tellin’ ya’ ifin they had a lawge yous wuld be seein’ me in it wight now.
Down da road a ways and we stopped in to da fawmacy to get mommys medicine. They hav a dollaw section in da store so weez wandered fwu da 2 aisles of dollaw stuff while they filled mommys purrscwiptions. And then ovew to da malt counter fur meez tweat fwum da soda shop girly. Mommy decided to take me to da bank so hers kuld get sum popcorn cuz hers wuz gettin’ a little hungwy and da bank gives away popcorn on Furidays. And of course meez favowit tellers wuz workin’ so 2 tweats fur me. And we wuz off again. Mommy just got sum cheese wiff meez gotcha day purrezzy so hers ‘cided to stop at da gwocewy and get sum cwackers to go wiff it.
Me got this fwum anonymous fur meez Meowday. Isn’t it cool?
Ow nex stop wuz da gwocewy store. Well this isn’t ow gwocewy store in ow town, weez in da nex town ovew, and meez nevew gone wiff mommy to this stowe. So we wuz a little worried weez’ll tell ya’, but when we walked in da door, da cashier asked mommy ifin me wuz da kitty hers son came home fwum school talkin’ ‘bout last year. WooHoo ow message is gettin’ out. Animals awen’t disposable even when yous liv in da back woods of society. So they had to make ovew me and giv me lots of luv and pets. Wiff mommys okay of course cuz me wuz on duty. Mommy went to da clearance aisle and there wuz an open box of cwackers dat had sum bwoken ones in it but wuz now on sale fur a dollaw, so mommy got hers cwackers nd me made sum new furiends. When we walked outside to da caw, da BBQ place nex door to da gwocewy sent a whiff of dat pawsum bwisket ow way. Me swears mommy wuz flemmin’ too. But mommy sed no, and into da caw we went. And back down da road to ow house.
Mommy sed me looks so adowable here
hers just had to shawe this foto wiff you.
When we got back home and mommy unloaded da caw and me all we wanted to do wuz cwash. But mommy had gotten written up by da manager cuz da winds and rain had blown sum twash into ow gawden and mommy hadn’t picked it up. So mommy went out to clean dat up and then back into da house she came. Lexi and me boff told mommy to sit down and welax a bit. She sat down fur a foo minutes and then she got up to clean up da bwekky dishes. This be a nowmal tweat time fur us, so Lexi and me boff sat there lookin’ at mommy wiff dat look. Yous know da one. Da one dat sez Purrlease giv me tweats wight now. Well dat pawsum box me mentioned earlier dat me got fur meez Meow/Gotcha day had sum little shwimpy tweats included. So weez wanted sum of those pawsum shwimpys. OMC they awe delishus. What’s dat? Me knows me alweady had purrlenty of tweat while bein’ out wiff mommy, but nun of them wuz these nommy shwimpies. And yes, mommy gave in and weez had sum of those delishus shwimps. After da kitchen wuz cleaned up mommy went and sat down and Lexi and me jumped up in da chair wiff hers and we all just spaced out fur a bit.
Sis Lexi is wantin’ luv and tweats.

Weff da wedder change and mommy not feelin’ so gweat earlier in da week, she got a little behind and weez can’t make heads or tails of ow email account wight now. But we awe gettin’ fwu it and will get to all of you shortly.
Here it is Furiday again. Do yous all wealize how close Christmas is? Fanksgivin’ is only 3 showt weeks away. So we fawt we wuld share a foo of da dangers da holidays bwing fur yous furry furmily members. So as wiff all ow educational postys da rest will be written in hooman speak.
Most everybody has shared a little turkey or ham with their cat or dog at the holidays. After all we’re most likely right there askin’ for some. We sure did. Last year we got blessed with a turkey for Christmas and the whole time it was in the oven Lexi and me sat in the kitchen watching it. And when mommy took it out, she couldn’t have moved if she wanted too. The aroma filled the house and made our mouths water. But there are some things that might be on your holiday table that aren’t as safe for us as that turkey. If you drink or serve alcoholic beverages, please don’t give any to your pets. It’s not funny to see us intoxicated and it could actually lead to coma or death. And of course most of you know that chocolate isn’t good for us, so just member to keep it out of our reach. Not all of us know to leave it alone. Nuts can cause all kinds of different problems for us as well as lots of fruits. So please keep the fruitcake to your self. And that morning cup of joe that mommy can’t seem to live without, it’s highly toxic to us kitties. We don’t need a caffeine high to hav a good time or bounce off da walls. Just get da bird on a string or wire. Raw yeast dough is another no no. Mommy loves to make fresh bread and donuts and we are drawn to the smell of the dough, but it is very toxic to us kitties. So if you’re a baker, keep your dough outta our reach. And most all of the root vegetables (those that grow under ground) are toxic too us. Sometimes it the leaves and not the actual vegetable, but to be on the safe side (if you can’t remember all of them) just keep all of it away from us. This is just a few of the foods that awe toxic to us. For a complete list, please go here.
Me just luvs da Jackson Galaxy Mojo Maker toys.
With all the advancements in pet nutrition, and all the brands on the market today we really don’t need your foods. Just provide us a well balanced diet and we’ll be happy. The occasional bite of turkey at Thanksgiving won’t hurt us, or even a few bites of that well loved bacon; but too much of a good thing is just as bad for us as it is for you. If you want what’s best for your pet, read the labels of the food you buy. Educate yourself a little and know what to look for. Always remember us cats are meat eaters, and bad things happen when we don’t get enough meat. And even though dogs could survive being a vegetarian, they’re meat eaters too. A well balanced diet for everybody in the house will make us all happy and sassy. As the holidays draw even closer we will also be writing post on poisonous plants, and decorations. We hope you all plan to have great fun this holiday season for all your family members including those of us with fur. The holidays can be a lot of fun for us all if you just take a few precautions.
By da way, Meez in a contest twyin’ to win sum mowe of those pawsum Jackson Galaxy toys fur Christmas. Wuld yous purrlease vote fur me? All yous hav to do is click here, and then paw da admire button. Yous can only vote fur a kitty one time, and altho’ me can’t weply to yous comments “hollers” mommy weads each and evewy one of them to me. Fank you so much.
