Blest Sunday: Chasing The Wilds

Published on September 9, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon RaenaBelle, It’s Blest Sunday. Me wants to count me’s Blessings befur the storms start again.

Raena: I’s comin’ sissy. Ya’ know, it would really be a Blessing to mommy ifin you didn’t spend so much time unner the bed. (Raena meows sarcastically) I’s know, you’re not hidin’, you’re lookin’ fur intruders. But, I’s don’t think any intruders could have slipped by you. You’ve been unner the bed most of the week.

Dezi: Was not, Raena. Me also spent time on the stool unner the vanity by the bed, and unner the dinin’ room table. Me even spent some time in mommy’s lap. And, somewhere durin’ one of those times we did get an intruder. You know, that fly we’ve been chasin’ fur two days?.

Come back here fly!!!

Raena: I’s think he’s multiplyin’ sissy. I’s know I’s caught him once already. He tasted kind’a nasty. And I’s accidentally scratched mommy when I’s clasped him t’ween mine’s fluffy paws.

Dezi: Yep Raena, me heard. You’re a dangerous hunter. You’re all over the place. It’s like you’re chasin’ the wilds. You even jumped up on the kitchen counter. You know we’re not allowed up there.

Raena: I’s was tryin’ to ketch the fly sissy. It was botherin’ mommy and you were nowhere in sight. So, it was totally up to me to purrtect her. Flies are wild, aren’t they?

Dezi: Purrlease Raena, like that fly was gonna hurt mommy. What…

Raena: It might have sissy. She kept waving her hands thru the air and makin’ spittin’ sounds. It could’a flown in her mouth. So, I’s had to keep her safe. Ifin you hadn’t been hidin’ out you might’ve known what a pest he was bein’. Anyways, I’s thought we were gonna count our Blessings. Let’s get on with it, I’s wanna go finish mine’s brekky.

Dezi: Meowin’ of food Raena, did you know mommy signed us up fur some 30 day challenge?

Raena: Yep sissy, I’s heard that. I’s hope it’s a challenge we’ll like. You know, we’re really Blest to be able to do things like this. Not every kitty in the world gets to try out new stuffs and toys and noms. That’s one of my fanky fankfuls this week. And, I’s know we mention havin’ a luvvin’ furever home a lot, but I’s think that’s a Blessin’ we should give fanky fanks fur every day. ‘Specially with all these storms we’ve been havin’. I’s wouldn’t wanna even think ‘bout havin’ to live outside in it. (Raena shudders)

Dezi: You’re right Raena. Havin’ a furever home is somethin’ to be fankful fur every day. As are our furiends and mommy. Our life’s purretty good from where me’s sittin’. Sure we have a few purroblems now and then, but mommy says that’s just pawrt of life. And, as long as we have each other, God and luv, there ain’t nuffin we can’t overcome.

Raena: You’ve got that right sissy. We luvs our furiends so much. We meow extra purrayers fur each of you every day.

Dezi: Let’s wrap this up Raena. Me’s kind’a hungry too. As we do each week, 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 say and meowsy big Thank you to all of you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

I’s not sure what all this “easy” stuffs is, but this is what mine’s easy looks like.

Raena: And, as we do each week, we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

Dezi: You always have to have the last meow, don’t you Raena?.

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

Dezi: Vibrant Blue

Raena: Navy Blue

Chatting Cats: Lap Loving Is The Best

Published on August 29, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.35 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Let me tell ya’, you don’t know how good you have it till there’s an upset. I’s can’t ‘magine how anypawdy in this day and age can live without an a/c. Y, It felt so good in here yesfurday, we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. Well, actually, we did, but mommy kept noddin’ off so we didn’t get any visitin’ done at all.

It’s not her fault Raena. She was ‘fraid to go to bed Sunday night cuz she didn’t want the repairmen to show up furst thing in the meownin’ and her not be able to let ‘em in and have the manager write her up fur bein’ uncoopurr-ative. And after they left she had a bit of cleanin’ to do and didn’t get to bed till 5:30 Tuesday meownin’; only to be jolted awake by the lawn crew some time t’ween 7:30 and 8 a.m.. Mommy’s just too old to keep those kinds of hours.

Well sissy, I’s sure hope she caught up on her naps, cuz we’ve got lots of visitin’ to do today. Our furiends could’a gone to the moon and back and we’d never know. Y, Mine’s Simon’s family didn’t have anythin’ cuz of a nasty o’l lightnin’ bolt and still they managed to visit their furiends. But mommy loses a few zzzzzzz’s and she’s s’posed to get a pass?

Uh, Your Simon, Raena? Since when?

Yeah sissy, you know, our furiend Simon, Brian’s bushy tailed brofur?

Sure Raena, but that’s not what you meowed. You implied…

I’s didn’t imply anythin’ sissy. I’s just meowin’ that we’ve got lots of things to do, furiends to see and…well we need to get busy. That’s all I’s was meowin’. Anyways, are you ever gonna let me have some mommy lap luvvin’ time? Every time I’s wanna get in mommy’s lap, there your fluffy hiney is, all stretched out and droolin’ all over the place. It’s mine’s turn fur lap luvvin’ time. Why don’t you go spend some quality time with the cat tree?.

Me’s not droolin’ Raena, me’s just happy.

Well sissy, happy or sad, when spit falls outta your mouth, it’s called droolin’. Mommy says so. I’s thought us kitties were s’posed to be purr-opurr and dignified. All that slobber ain’t very diginified, ya’ know?.

When it comes to luv Raena, there aren’t any rules. But, me’s still not droolin’.

Whatever you meow sissy. (Raena mumbles to herself) Ifin it looks like slobber then it must be slobber. Hmmmpnt Besides, we’ve got a foto to prove it. MOL Anyways, I’s think today’s mine’s day fur lap luvvin’, so move over. Why don’t you go finish your brekky and I’s’ll even let ya’ eat the last few bites of mine’s.

No Raena, me doesn’t want too. You spend every night cuddled up so close to mommy that even air can’t pass t’ween ya’. It’s only right that me gets her lap durin’ the day.

Night time sleepy time doesn’t count sissy. You’re just as cuddled up as me. And cuz mommy’s sleepin’ and can’t move, there’s no cuddle pets, chin scritches or cooing ‘bout how bootyful I’s is and how much she luvs me. Ready or not, here I’s come. You better scoot over or I’s’ll jump on top of ya’.

Don’t you dare jump on me RaenaBelle!!!

Hisssssssssss RaenaBelle Mayce!!! (Dezi jumps down and flicks her tail as she walks over to her breakfast plate to finish eating.) Sometimes, you can be a real brat.

Now this is the life. The bestest seat in the house.

But ya’ still luvs me, don’t ya’ sissy? (Raena curls up and start purring as mommy A begins to pet her and coo over her.) I’s luvs you mommy. Wha’d’ya’ say, we visit our furiends now? Yep, right after that scritch, right there, that’s the… (Raena closes her eyes and powers up her purr motor)

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

Blest Sunday: Sweating Like A Pig In A Smoker

Published on August 26, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.25 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Me wants to count our Blessings.

At least this plastic’s a little cool.

Raena: How can you even think in this heat, sissy? I’s just wanna find a cool place to lay and stretch out fur a good nap.

Dezi: Purrlease Raena, It’s been hotter than this befur. We live in the South, and heat’s just a pawrt of it.

Raena: Yeah sissy, but not in the house. The house is s’posed to be cool. Isn’t that what the air conditioner’s fur? Even mommy’s sweatin’. I’s heard her say last night that we were way past the glistenin’ of a Southern lady and well on our way to sweatin’ like pigs in a smoker.

Dezi: Me heard her Raena. Me even got me’s fur soaked when me sat in her lap fur a little lap luvvin’. She said the air conditioner wasn’t workin’ purr-opurrly. Me saw her turn it down several times. And me heard her yellin’ at it to work. She said it ain’t s’posed to be 80 degrees in here when the thremostat is set on 74°. She even tried the o’l human trick of hittin’ it. Hmmmpht Humans think that hittin’ electronics will somehow make ‘em work. Me’s never quite unnerstood that concept, but lots of humans do it.

Raena: MOL I’s seen it too sissy. So, are you meowin’ that it doesn’t actually work? Cuz you know, when I’s can’t get our ‘lectric toys to work, all I’s have to do is whacky paw ‘em a few times and they suddenly start workin’.

Dezi: There’s a big difference in you furinally whacky pawin’ the power button and humans slappin’ at the sides of a machine Raena. Anyways, least we have fans. Did you know that peeps used to think sweatin’ was a way to lose weight and get skinny? Sure ‘nuff, peeps used to pay good money fur stuffs to wrap themselves up in that would make ‘em sweat. Hmmmpht We didn’t have to pay anythin’ fur this. See? You can find a Blessing in everythin’, ya’ just have to look.

Raena: You’re right sissy. Altho’ I’s don’t think that losin’ weight pawrt works…mommy hasn’t lost anythin’. I’s mean, I’s didn’t put her on a scale or nuffin’, but…

Dezi: Of course me is Raena, me’s always right. Me’s older and wiser and…

Raena: You’re old alright sissy. I’s not so sure ‘bout that wiser thing, but ifin that’s what you wanna tell yourself…

Dezi: RaenaBelle Mayce, that’s not very nice.

Raena: Sorry sissy. Do you want a hug?

Me’s gettin’ purrlenty of luvvin’ from mommy.

Dezi: No Raena, stay back. Your ‘pawlogy’s enuff. By the way, do you see anythin’ innerestin’ outside?

Raena: Nope sissy, not a thing. I’s haven’t even seen any birds. I’s did see one of those annoyin’ gnats in your brekky a while ago tho’. Ifin you don’t want the gnats to steal it, you better go claim it.

Dezi: What ‘bout yours Raena? Ifin they’re tryin’ to steal me’s brekky, then they’re purrobaly in yours too.

Raena: Nah sissy, I’s finished mine’s a few minutes ago and I’s even had a few bites of yours. (Raena snickers a bit as she licks her paw and wipes her face) Guess I’s was purretty hungry this meownin’. Meowin’ of, we’re purretty Blest to have such tasty noms. And a mommy who only wants the bestest fur us.

Dezi: That we are Raena, that we are. And, a few of our facebook furiends got together and donated some green papers so mommy could have gas money to get back to the dentist fur some adjustments on her dentures. We sure do ‘purreciate everyone that helped. Meowin’ of furiends, we have the bestest furiends in the universe.

Raena: Oh sissy, I’s luvs our furiends so much. I’s wish we could all have a big get together and meet up fur to fur to flesh. Wouldn’t that be just wonderful?

Me’s ready fur more luvvin’ mommy.

Dezi: It would Raena. But fur now, we’ll just have to settle fur readin’ their stories and seein’ their fotos. As we do each week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank each of you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Raena: And don’t furget to check out all the Sunday Selfies over at the Kitties Blue. I’s gonna go back to mine’s purrch now and see ifin anything’s goin’ on outside.

Dezi: Me’s gonna go get some more lap luvvin’ Raena. Enjoy the purrch.

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.

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

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.
