Chatting Cats: The Internet’s What…

Published on November 7, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Meowllo? Is anypawdy in here? Sissy, come here, I’s need your help. Purrleeeeease…Nuffin’ be workin’. I’s can’t get anythin’ on this machine to work. I’s tried all the browsers and I’s pushed buttons that I’s don’t even know what they’re fur…and nuffin’. What’s wrong with it sissy?

Why are you askin’ me Raena? How should me know what’s up with the computer? Why don’t you ask mommy?

She’s busy. She keeps pokin’ a pin in that box with all the lights (modem) and tryin’ to call somepawdy, sissy.

(Mommy A finally picks up the cell phone to call the internet provider after trying to reset the modem numerous times to no avail. The automated system picks up and asks a lot of questions, altho’ the opportunity to speak with a live person isn’t one of them.) Uh Oh Raena, me has a feelin’ this day just went from bad to worse. Mommy hates talkin’ to those silly machines. And did you hear it tell her that a live operator wouldn’t have any more infurmation than it did? Seems the innernet’s out all over ‘round here. Guess it’s a good thing we got that smarty pants fone or we wouldn’t know that even.

The innernet’s out?!! What do you mean the innernet’s out?!! How does that even happen? What are all our furiends doin’? How are we s’posed to check our mail, or edit our fotos or get our posty out? How are we gonna survive? We neeeeeeeed the innernet, sissy. I’s got plans to make and things to do and…

Slow down Raena and take a deep breath. Furst of all, the whole innernet ain’t out all over the world, just ours. Well, and maybe everypawdy within a hunnerd miles of us. And, the silly machine said they’re aware of it and they’re tryin’ to fix it. So, hopefully it’ll be back on soon. Most ‘purrtantly, our furiends will unnerstand. These things just happen sometimes, and there’s nuffin’ we could’a done to stop it. Hopefully, it won’t be out long.

How can you be so calm, sissy? I’s still have so much left to do to get ready fur your pawrty next week.

There’s still time to send in your pawrty fotos.

Me really ‘purreciates all the work you’re puttin’ into me’s pawrty Raena, but me’s sure it’s gonna be great. Me never wanted you to be so stressed out. Me wants you to enjoy it too. Ya’ know, cuz you didn’t really get to have a pawrty fur your special day this year, me was thinkin’ we could both enjoy this bash, ‘specially since you’re feelin’ better.

Y, Fanky fank you sissy. That sure is nice of you to share your catabration with me.

‘Course RaenaBelle, what are big susfurs fur?. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) Besides, mommy would make me share whether me wants to or not. Anyways, (Dezi turns and meows to Raena) Me’s sure there’ll be purrlenty of food and fun fur everyone. (Mommy A picks up Dezi and puts her in her harness) MeOW Wait a minute, where are we goin’? The last kitty out that door didn’t come back lookin’ too good. Me’s not goin’…Hisssssssss

I’s wanna go, take me mommy. Me, me meeeeeeeeeow.

Ah, votin’. ‘kay, me doesn’t mind goin’ then. You can’t go till your eyes are all better Raena. Mommy doesn’t wanna take any chances with infection ‘n stuffs. Don’t worry, we won’t be long, we’re just goin’ up the street. (A short time later, Dezi and mommy A return from the polls with news)

RaenaBelle, oh, there you are. Hey we heard the innernet’s out till some time tomorrow (Wednesday). We ran into the innernet fixer at the polls and he said they had a transfurmer out and had to order a pawrt. So, c’mon, let’s go play with our nanners.

Okay sissy, just let me try to figger out how to make a facebutt posty with the smarty pants fone.

You’ve been workin’ on that all day Raena, just give it up. Our fone’s too smart to let us open facebutt. Quit downloadin’ apps ya’ gotta turn ‘round and delete. We’ll have our computer back tomorrow. Till then, we can live like we did befur tech invaded our house. C’mon, me will show ya’ how.

I’s comin’ sissy. Kittens!!! I’s can’t believe peeps once lived without tech. (Raena shakes her head while trying to imagine what it would be like to not have computers and technology)

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

Blest Sunday: Thanks For Being The Best Friends In The Universe

Published on November 4, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.17 Comments

MeOW (Dezi follows mommy and Raena mumbling to herself) Kittens, Me sure wishes the weather would make up it’s mind. One minute it’s cold and the next we’re pantin’. Me thinks me may have gotten mommy’s “pussonal summer disease” (hot flashes). Ifin only me could roll up me’s furs like she does her pants legs. Hmmmpht And what’s up with the clocks? Mommy keeps goin’ from room to room tryin’ to figger out why some say one thing and others say another.

Sissy, who are you meowin’ too? And what’s wrong? Don’t you know it’s Blest Sunday? I’s can’t wait to count our Blessings today.

Who can count anythin’ over that squeaky fan? It’s on me’s last nerve!!!

Aaaaaw Sissy, c’mon, snap out of it. You luvs Blest Sunday’s; and you fur sure know we’re Blest. Mommy’s gonna try to put some more oil on the fan, so hopefully it’ll quit squealin’ soon. And I’s asked the crazy lady in the box (Alexa dot) ‘bout the clocks and learned that we were s’posed to turn our clocks back last night, so that’s why some of ‘em are wrong. As fur mommy’s purrsonal summer’s, I’s don’t think those are contagious. Besides, it’s your birthday/gotchaday month; that’s like the biggest Blessing we kitties can ever have.

Yeah, you’re right Raena. And, peace reigns in our home once again. Now that’s always a Blessing. Ya’ know, me also wanted to meow Fank you to awnty Anonymous and awnty Vonda fur sendin’ me some green papers fur me’s birthday. Me knows how ‘purrtant it was fur you to have your surgery, but me really does ‘purreciate that they wanted me to have somethin’ special. Me’s birthday kind’a got lost in the fray, but they helped to make me feel ‘purrtant too. Me even got birthday cards from Pipo and Dalton and Valentine.

You’re always special sissy. That’s why we’re throwin’ you a pawsum pawrty on the 14th. Anyways, I’s got some Blessings I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur too. Fanky fank you awnty Anonymous, awnty Jeanne, awnty Cindy, awnty Sandee, awnty Juliea and Patzy, awnty Claire, Zorro and Pixie, awnty Theresa, awnty Kerry and Valentine, awnty Susan M, awnty Susan C, awnty Susan T, awnty Ava, awnty Christine, awnty Vonda and our furiends at the Kitty Klub fur helpin’ me to have mine’s surgery. And fanky fanks to all of you fur the luvs, well wishes and purrayers. Mommy says I’s on the road to recovery and gettin’ better and better every day. Altho’ mine’s eyes still hurt a little, they’re hurtin’ in a whole new place. But, I’s can see and blink like never befur. It’s amazin’.

That’s pawsum Raena. Me’s glad you’re feelin’ better. And me can’t wait fur me’s pawrty. It’s gonna be so much fun. Me was just thinkin’ ‘bout how Blest we are to be a pawrt of this wonderful world of pet bloggers. What an amazing life we have. You know, besides bein’ me’s birthday and gotchaday month, it’s also Fankgivin’ month here in the U.S.. Me’s very fankful we were furtunate enuff to be born in this great Country called America.

Mommy says I’s still gawjus even tho’ mine’s eyes be

scabby and I’s missin’ whiskers. Those whiskers by the

way ain’t missin’, doctor stabby and grabby stole ’em.

Ain’t that the truth sissy. We are Blest with a capital B. Ya’ know sissy, I’s luvs Blest Sundays as much as you do. I’s also like that we get to post our selfies. Altho’ we don’t actually take our own fotos, mommy says she luvs a good close up that shows off our beauty. So, each week we link up with the Kitties Blue fur the Sunday Selfie blog hop.

Yeah Raena, mommy does luv a good close up. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we wanna say a meowsy big Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

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

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

Published on October 30, 2018 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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

Description

The OurPets Alpine Climb Cat Scratcher provides an enticing scratching surface that cats can’t resist! With hidden nooks and crannies in the corrugated cardboard felines can groom and trim their claws daily. Save your furniture and other household items by directing their energy to this scratcher that is even more enticing when the catnip that’s included is sprinkled on it! Not only is the catnip included but a small toy too. You and your furry feline can enjoy all of the benefits of this cat scratcher!

Key Benefits

Comes with one package of catnip and small toy for added entertainment
Ideal for angle scratching and for felines to stretch out
Provides appropriate place for cats to satisfy urge to scratch
Sleek design is made of eco-friendly, recycled and recyclable corrugated cardboard
Reversible for double the scratching life

Ships in a variety of random and fun colors!

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.

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: 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.

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?

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

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

Blest Sunday: Thankful Blessings

Published on October 28, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

MeOW Me’s been busy with the annual Cat Scout jamboree fur the last week. It’s always great fun, but me’s glad it’s over and things can settle down a bit again. Ifin you’ve ever wanted to be a pawrt of somethin’ bigger than yourself and make lastin’ furiendships with others like you, then you should check it out. Cat Scouts is furee to join. It’s gone thru a lot of changes since me furst joined, but the furiendships me’s made there have only gotten stronger. But, me is happy to be getting’ back to normal now. And what better way, than with Blest Sunday, don’t you agree Raena?

This is me’s patrol, the Powerful Paws.

Yep sissy, I’s glad too. Kittens!!! Dinner was late almost every night. I’s don’t know what ya’ll be doin’ ‘round the campfire, since you won’t let me join, but just cuz ya’ll be havin’ virtual cook outs doesn’t mean mine’s real tummy don’t get hungry.

Purrlease Raena, dinner wasn’t that late. It’s not like you’re starvin’. Have you ever actually missed a meal? Me thinks not. Mommy does everythin’ she can to make sure we have purrlenty to eat. You know there are lots of kitties in the world that don’t have that security. They’d gladly swap places with you.

That’s okay sissy. I’s don’t wanna swap places with any kitty. I’s livin’ the good life, even when dinner’s 10 minutes late.

Meowin’ of the good life Raena, what happened to you last night?

Wha’d’ya’ mean sissy?

You know, when you were sleepin’ all sound like atop the liberty tree and suddenly jolted and flew off the top of the tree and skedaddled thru the house and unner the table. You scared mommy and me half to death. Did you have a bad dream or somethin’?

Oh sissy, it was just horrible. Ya’ know, that tree’s really high. I’s kind’a wish I’d thought ‘bout it a bit befur launchin’ mine’s self into the air. I’s don’t think we kitties were meant to fly.

Well, ya’ hit the nail on the head with that one Raena. What was your furst clue, the lack of wings or your crash landin’? Me’s gotta tell ya’, me’s not sure me’s ever seen your eyes look quite that big befur. And me fur sure don’t like hearin’ that much panic in mommy’s voice. She was so worried you’d hurt yourself or somethin’.

Yeah, I’s didn’t like it too much either sissy. Fanky fankfully, I’s only got a few bruises. Ya’ can’t see ‘em fur the fur, but I’s assure you, they’re there. I’s don’t ever wanna do that again.

Me’s sure me’s meowin’ fur mommy too Raena, when me meows, we don’t want you to that again either. Me’s just glad you’re okay. ‘Specially since you’re plannin’ me’s pawrty. You know me’s actual birthday is this comin’ Fursday, right?

I’s know sissy. And mommy’s purromissed to get us some special treats fur that day cuz of your birthday and cuz mine’s surgery has been moved up to that day too. Mommy called doctor stabby and grabby and he agreed to go ahead with mine’s surgery and let us pay what we’ve already raised and pay off the rest as it comes in. We’re so Blest to have such amazin’ furiends. I’s a little scared, but knowin’ so many peeps luvs me sure is comfurtin’.

Yep Raena, me’s heart is so full thinkin’ ‘bout all the furiends we’ve made and how we all luv and suppurrt each other not just durin’ the good times, but also the bad. Ya’ know, a true furiend is the one who doesn’t abandon you when life throws ya’ a curveball.

That’s a great way to put it sissy. I’s wanna say a meowsy big fanky fank you fur helpin’ me have mine’s surgery to awnty Claire, Zorro and Pixie, awnty Theresa, awnty Kerry and Valentine, awnty Susan M, awnty Susan C, and awnty Ava. Ifin you’d like to help, you can donate here. And a huge fanky fank you to all of you fur your purrs and purrayers. I’s would ‘purreciate a few extra come Fursday November 1st. Mommy says we have to be there t’ween 7:30 and 8:15 that meownin’. Looks like we’ll be stayin’ up all night Wednesday and she’ll be havin’ coffee at the V-E-T. Maybe they’ll even have donuts.

Me will be purrayin’ fur ya’ Raena. Even ifin it means me has to miss a meal. You can’t eat anythin’ after midnight, so guess what? That means me won’t get anythin’ either. Hmmmpht The sacrifices me makes fur you.

I’s do ‘purreciate you fur doin’ that sissy.

Like me has a choice. Those better be really delicious treats ya’ll bring home. Me knows mommy luvs coffee and donuts, but me’s wants somethin’ way better than that.

I’s sure mommy will get us somethin’ really tasty sissy. Don’t worry. All this meowin’ ‘bout food’s got me hungry. I’s gonna go finish eatin’ mine’s brekky. Gotta keep up mine’s strength ya’ know.

Me luvs you mommy.

Me too Raena. Me’s right behind ya’. We’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. And don’t furget to send us your fotos fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday pawrty.
