Another Lesson Already

Published on by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

So da last twainin’ posty had me runnin’ us into da chest of drawers. Which, by da way, has their ever been a better name fur sumfin’? You know weez have fings called dwessers, and vanity’s and so on. But dat dwesser dusn’t dwess mommy or us. And meez not weally know ifin da vaity be vain or not, but a chest of drawers is zactly what it is. Wight? Who names these fings, dat’s what me wants to know. You fink meez getting’ off da subject don’t ya’? Well ifin fings had more purropwiate names then maybe me wuld unnewstand when mommy sez fings like, “Dezi, slow down, you’re gunna run into the vanity.” Or, “Hold on Dezi, We’re headin’ for the dresser fast.” How was me posed to know mommy didn’t wanna go to da dwesser after goin’ to da pawdee box room? Seems to me she wuld wanna get dwessed. After all you hoomans sure do like to cover everyfin’ up.

So anyways, sissy took over da dwivin’ again dat day and meez lesson was over. Me walked wound dat chair a few times dat day lookin’ it over and finkin’ ‘bout it. Pawently whacky paw dwivin’ ain’t da way to go. Sure meez head was up so me kuld see everyfin’, but dat wasn’t necessarily a good fing. Me finks to meez selff dat maybe me oughtta just let sissy do da dwivin’ of da movin’ chair. Meez weallly good at answerin’ da fone and da door, and sissy be gweat at dwivin’. So maybe we can’t all be good at everyfin’. Me even meowed to sissy ‘bout it later dat day. Sissy meowed to me dat me was just gunna have to take it slow and easy, but dat me had to learn to dwive da movin’ chair. So da next meownin’ when we all woke up and got mommy to da chair me laid back down and sissy went ahead and dwove mommy to da pawdee box room. Me fawt me had escaped a lesson in dwivin’. But ever patient mommy wasn’t finished wiff me yet.

 dw-Lexibed2 (800x600)

After bwekky mommy busied hers selff at da movin’ chair. Me kuldn’t see zactly what she was duin’, but she had a bottle of sum sort and was spwayin’ dat joystick. When she finished she called me over to her and sat down in da movin’ chair. Me can’t wesist a little luvvin’ so me sauntered over to mommy and sis Lexi took up hers post to watch whatever events unfolded. Mommy sez meez a pwissy butt and wiggles when me walks. Da sign of a twue Suddern Belle. Maybe dat’s why meez middle name is Izabella. Me reached mommy and rubbed hers leg. Me wasn’t weal sure me wanted to get back into dat chair after runnin’ into da chest of drawers da day afur. Mommy reached down and picked me up and sat me in hers lap. And suddenly meez nose went up in da air and meez mouff opened and me stawrted duin’ da flemmin’. Yous know, takin’ in da smell weal good. Yous seen kitties duin’ it afur. Openin’ our mouffs enables us to weally take in da scent. And let me tell ya’, there was a gweat smell comin’ fwum da joystick awea of da movin’ chair.

 

It enticed me to stawt rubbin’ against da joystick. Me even gave it a lick or two. Mommy had spwayed da joystick wiff nip spway. See she knew dat whacky paw dwivin’ wasn’t gunna work eever, and so she hoped by spwayin’ da joystick wiff catnip me wuld wanna bite it again. And she was wight. It took a while cuz me also wanted to rub it, but mommy gently pushed meez head a few times and me finally gave in and bit down on da joystick. Altho’ da furst push or two me gave mommy a little “grrrrrrrrr” Me has a little fake growl dat me uses sumtimes and dat’s what me did when mommy twied to get me to immediately bite down. Course all dat nip made me feel a little feisty. MOL Well after me bit down mommy twied to reach over meez head and turn on da chair. We was back in da bedroom and she had furgot to turn on da light so she kuldn’t see very good and fur sum weason she sez she can’t see fwu all meez fur. So she stawrted pushin’ down on buttons twyin’ to hit da power button.

 dw DnLwheelchair2

She finally heard da beep dat signaled da movin’ chair was on, and she gently pushed meez head. We was pointeed wight at da pawdee box room so all we had to do was go stwaight. Afur callin’ me to her mommy had turned da speed down so she fawt we wuld slowly inch to da pawdee box room. What she didn’t know is dat while she was puttin’ da spway bottle of nip away sis Lexi had used da chair to get up on da bed to watch, and when she jumped up she had turned da chair on and off again and also turned da speed up. It’s way to easy to turn da speed up. All ya’ gotta do is just push da button. Mommy sez hers furst chair had a turn knob fur speed and wasn’t as easy to change. Not dat sissy and Lucky hadn’t figgered it out, it just took a little longer.

 dw-Dezik

Anyways, me was soakin’ up all da pawsum nip fwum dat joystick when mommy gently pushed meez head. Again we jutted furward and meez mouff still bitin’ da joystick turned meez head to look fur sissy and da whole chair turned wiff me. Mommy stawrted hollerin’, “Dezi, let go, we’re gunna run into the dresser.” Me jerked meez head back wound to look at mommy wiff da bitey still on da joystick and weez turned even more. And afur me knew it we hit da bed and me was frown jumped onto da bed next to Lexi. Me shook like a dog getting’ outta a baff, and bounded toward da chair and mommy. Mommy was sittin’ there laffin’ so hawrd she was cwyin’ and sissy kuldn’t get off da bed and down da hall fast enuff. Me got to mommy and put da bitey on da awrm of dat movin’ chair. Me was gunna punish it fur hurtin’ mommy. Mommy seemed to laff even hawrder and sed, “It’s okay sweety, we’re fine. You’ll get it. It’s just gunna take a while longer.” We had a little luv fest and sissy came back and got back on da bed. While pettin’ me and sweet talkin’ me, mommy turned da chair wound so it was facin’ da pawdee box rom again. Me looked up and fawt, Oh me cats and kittens, anudder lesson alweady?

 

Weez havin’ stowrms and mommy’s a little unnew da wevver, so weez’ll visit as much as we can. See ya’ soon. As fur me and sissy meowin’ ’bout fings, mommy be puttin’ conversations to actions/innewactions she sees and saw. Obviously she dusn’t twuly know what me and sis Lexi actually sed. So it is pawsible dat da conversation dat me and sissy had is entirely fiction. But dat be da only pawrt of meez twainin’ stories dat awe.

But That’s Raw Mommy

Published on by Service Cats U.S.24 Comments

Well mommy had sum big plans ‘bout makin’ sum big changes in da way weez eat wound here. She sez they awe still gunna happen, she’s just gotta find a diffewent way to go ‘bout it. See, sissy’s not da only picky eater wound here. Mommy sez it’s one of da worst twaits we picked up fwum her and isn’t good cuz ifin we was to get sick and need to change our noms it wuld be much easier ifin we liked a variety of fings. Sissy wasn’t picky at all afur hers got da CKD. She wuld eat anyfin’ mommy put in fwunt of her. But since she got sick dat’s just not da case anymore. She may like sumfin’ one meal and won’t touch it da next. And me…well meez always been dat way.

 dw4424

Anyways, mommy ‘cided a while back dat she was gunna at least supplement our meals wiff a raw food. She used to feed a raw diet years ago but stopped when one of sis Lexi’s bwofurs needed a special diet. At da time she didn’t know da fings she knows now and quickly put hims on da purrscwiption diet da VET wecommended. Hims had to go to heaven pawrtly cuz hims got to da point where hims wuldn’t eat da purrscwiption noms and da VET sed dat’s all hims kuld have. Mommy wuldn’t be so quick to jump on da purrscwiption diets anymore. Case in point, when sis Lexi was diagnosed wiff CKD and da VET sed she needed to be eatin’ purrscwiption noms, mommy sed let me do sum wesearch furst.

 dw-3953-

So mommy dug in and read anyfin’ and everyfin’ she kuld find ‘bout CKD cats and da bestest food fur them. She was shocked to find da only weal study confurmin’ these purrscwiption noms was dun years ago by Hill’s Pet. And every udder purrscwiption food purrvider just jumped on da Hill’s band wagon. Da one fing cats need to not only survive but thrive, purrotein, is cut way back in these diets. So dat an older cat who is alweady facin’ muscle wastin’ and poor appetites is now getting a very small amount of purrotein. Fankfully there was quite a few studies dun since then on a much smaller level by VETs and Animal Nutritionists dat cited smaller amounts of purrotein fur da carnivorous cat wiff CKD dusn’t weally do anyfin’ to keep da disease fwum purrgwessin’. Stead these studies show dat da carnivorous feline actually needs high quality purrotein and less phosphorous. And dat a balanced raw diet kuld be very beneficial. So mommy set ‘bout to make dat happen.

 dw RPChubs1 dw RPChubs2

Mommy stawrted chattin’ it up wiff da Raw Paws Pet Food peeps and it was decided dat we wuld twy out sum of their raw purroteins and write up a weview. So mommy ordered us sum chicken, duck, beef and quail. Yep weez like a variety of meats. These were al gwound wiff bone and organs alweady gwound into da meats. Raw Paws sells quite a few diffewent purroteins fur da kitty and da doggy. And they come in a variety of sizes. We got 5 pound chubs of da gwound meats and bone we chose ‘cept fur da quail which came in a 2 pound container. They awwived mostly furozen in a small disposable ice chest wiff dwy ice. There was a small amount of thawin’ and sum blood, so ifin yous have an issue wiff bloods, you might want sumpawdy else to unpack it fur ya’. Course yous gunna have to deal wiff it later when yous go ’bout thawin’ it fur yous furry to eat. Mommy put on hers gloves and pulled da chubs out and washed them off and stuck them in da fureezer fur later.

 dw RPQ

Da day finally came when mommy ‘cided it was time to stawrt our twansition. A while back our furiend Christy Paws had hers mommy send us sum of da supplements wequired fur feedin’ da raw foods cuz dat’s all they eat. So mommy thawed da meat and bones and added our supplements and offered Lexi and me a little taste afur puttin’ in our plates. We boff weadily ate da little bite sample so mommy ‘citedly went ‘bout makin’ our dinner plates. Sis Lexi went to town and even asked fur seconds. She sure did seem to luv dat quail. She ate 2 whole plate fulls in less than 30 minutes. Me kittens, mommy and me was weally happy. So dat’s 4 paws up fwum sis Lexi. But then it was meez turn. (scwoll over sissys fotos to read da captions)

 

I’z want mower din a bite mommy
Yummmmmy diz iz berry good. I’z gunna want sekundz in a miniit.

Me looked at da plate mommy had put in fwunt of me, and looked up at her standin’ there wiff da camewa hopin’ to get a foto of me scawfin’ down dat quail just like sissy did. Me didn’t have to get too close as da smell was purretty stwong even fawther away. Well, stead of puttin’ meez head down and munchin’ away, me walked over to mommy and rubbed hers leg and meowed fur her to feed me sumfin’ else. Mommy petted me a little and told me it was yummy and da same fing me had just eaten fwum hers hand. All me kuld fink was dat da bite fwum da hand was a tweat not a meal. And now dat it was meal time me wanted meez weal noms. MOL Me still hasn’t eaten it outta meez plate, only fwum mommys hand. So me gives it 1 paw up. Meez just not so sure ‘but this plateful of raw meat. Me didn’t even want it after mommy cooked it a bit. So, back to da drawin’ board on ways to get me to eat raw food.

 

Hmmmm smells good. Tastes good too. Fanks fur da tweat mommy. Now, where's dinner?
Hmmmm smells good. Tastes good too. Fanks fur da tweat mommy. Now, where’s dinner?

Raw Paws Pet Food web site is purretty easy to navigate and da customer service peeps awe very nice and fairly helpful. They sell foods called completes dat awe posed to be nutritionally complete. However, where da supplements they use come fwum is not stated and is of a little concern. When feeding raw yous need to be certain dat it twuly meets yous cats nutwitional needs.. Even unnew da cat da purroteins da statement is dat they awe nutwitionally complete based on what a dog wequires in a 80/10/10 ratio. They have made sum changes to their website since we placed our order, but it’s still purretty easy to get wound. They offer furee shippiing on your furst order over $99.00 and a furee raw feeding consultation. Ifin yous be a busy workin’ purrson lookin’ to implement a raw diet, Raw Paws might just be what yous lookin’ fur. It’s convenient and shipped wight to yous door. They also have tweats and offur an auto delivery purrogwam. Just member to make sure yous awe givin’ a nutwitionally complete meal to yous kitty. Dat may include addin’ sum supplements like mommy did.

Whacky Paw Driving

Published on by Service Cats U.S.27 Comments

Well it was a dweary lookin’ Monday when we woke up today, but da sun’s posed to come out and be shinin’. Accordin’ to da furcast, no rain be in sight. And weez weally hopin’ dat be twue. So meez last twainin’ stowry left off wiff quite a oopsy. But mommy be ever so patient and never gives up. She sez she ran into a few fings when she furst got da chair too. Meez here too tell ya’ she still runs into a few fings ever now and then. Don’t tell her me sed dat okay? Dat’s just tween us. So anyways, we put da chair away fur da day. And me was glad to cuz dat was a little scary. Me wasn’t sure me wanted to do dat again. Me didn’t even go near da chair fur da rest of da day. So when we went to bed dat night me was relieved. Altho’ da more me fawt ‘bout it da more me fawt it was kinda fun. Sissy and me meowed ‘bout it a little after we put mommy to sleep wiff massages and sissy told me dat me kuld dwive mommy when we woke up. Me was so ‘cited me almost kuldn’t sleep. But alas, a kitties gotta get hers beauty rest ya’ know, so me finally dwifted off and dweamed of dwivin’ as purrfect as sissy duz.

 dw Dezi selfie

Mommy dusn’t twain any kitty anyfin’ furst fing in da meownin’ cuz hers can’t move hers extwemeties so she can’t take over ifin there’s a oopsy. But she didn’t know what kind of deal sissy and me had made da night afur. So when we woke up da next meownin’ and got mommy wound and in da chair sissy and me sat on da bed lookin’ at each udder. Mommy was lookin’ at us lookin’ at each udder and finally sed, “C’mon Lexi, I need to go to the pawdee box room…NOW.” Yous know how it is furst fing in da meownin’, it’s almost a mad dash fur those of ya’ dat can dash. MOL Me finally got da nerve to jump back on dat chair and me walked onto mommys lap and pawed at da buttons. Now me had been finkiin’ all this over and ‘cided me wasn’t gunna use meez mouffy da next time cuz me kuldn’t see what was comin’ at us. After all, mommy used hers paws to dwive so why kuldn’t me?

 dw DnLwheelchair2

Mommy, still sittin’ in da movin’ chair needin’ to go to da pawdee box room didn’t know why me was on hers lap and sissy was still sittin’ on da bed. So mommy stawrted to call to Lexi and afur she kuld get anyfin’ out me gave dat joystick a big ole whacky paw. Now yous gotta unnewstand, even when me was a little girly me had big floofy paws wiff a lot of power. So when me whacked da joystick da movin’ chair was gunna be movin’. Me hadn’t given much fawt as to what was gunna happen, how faw we was gunna go, or what me was gunna do next ifin we wasn’t in da pawdee box room. Me had pawed all da buttons when me turned da movin’ chair on so…you guessed it. We was at high speed again. And when me whacked dat joystick we took off like gweased lightnin’. Meez paw was wight at da joystick cuz we took off so fast me hadn’t had da chance to move it back and da jerk of a zoomin’ chair made me dig meez claws in to hold on. So stead of havin’ to give anudder whacky paw, me was still pushin’ on da joystick. We didn’t stop till we hit da chest of drawers next to da pawdee box room. And we boff jerked furward and then back again.

 dw-DnL bed

Sis Lexi jumped off da bed and headed fur mommy, me and da chair. She jumped up in mommys lap like she was gunna be da hero and save us. No pawdy was hurt, we was just a little shocked. Me looked up at mommy and me fawt she had stopped bweavin’. Hers mouff was wide open. Me kuld see all da way to da back of hers fwoat, and hers eyes was big as dinner plates. Me jumped down and headed stwaight fur da pawdee box room. Me was gunna have to figger out anudder way to dwive this fing cuz even tho’ me kuld see da chest of drawers comin’ at us, me kuldn’t make it stop. Maybe dat fumm fing mommy has on hers paw makes it easier fur her to dwive wiff hers paw. Meez lackin’ one of those, so meez paws didn’t work quite wight. And seein’ fings comin’ at ya’ isn’t as fun as me fawt it wuld be. Meez gunna stop here today and weez’ll pick it up next time.

 dw-Lexichair

Today be Black Cat purreciation day, so me wanted to say a little sumfin’ ‘bout dat. As ya’ know sissy has lots of black and she’s purrfect. Weez have lots of black panfur furiends and they all be wunnewful. Black kitties get such a bad rap and fur no udder weason than hooman peeps superstitions. It’s time fur everypawdy to get over it and see da beauty of da black panfur kitties. They be smawrt, luvvin’ and loyal. On da inside they be no diffewent than any udder kitty. They deserve all da luv and joy a furever home offurs. Nuffin’ better than cuddlin’ wiff a purr box mommy sez. And yous can have dat wiff a black kitty too. So purrlease, don’t overlook da panfurs, they be just as special as all da rest.

Blest Sunday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

It’s Blest Sunday, and weez not da only ones feelin’ blest today. So is our neighbor cat Buddy. Why yous ask? Well yous all know what mommy found when hers took care of Buddy dat last week and yous all know dat mommy wasn’t gunna let it go wiffout havin’ words wiff Mr. W. So when hims got home mommy laid into him but good. We kuld almost hear her yellin’ back down at our pawrtment. Mr. W dusn’t unnewstand anyfin’ but yellin’. HIms a gwuff old twuck dwiver dat finks only of hims selff. Now bein’ a twuck dwiver didn’t make hims selfish, but it did teach hims how to eat cwap outta cwap so hims finks nuffin’ of feedin’ Buddy da same way.

 dw Buddy5

Mommy was there fur Buddy, so we didn’t tell ya’ ‘bout da hooman mess she found. So a lot of ya’ fawt we shuld tell him fings like hims wuldn’t wanna dwink outta a dirty glass, etc. But dat’s da fing. Hims duz all da time and finks nuffin’ ‘bout it. When mommy went up da furst day, there was a new tub of mawgarine open on da counter wiff gnats all stuck in it. There was a pan on da stove wiff gwease and a burned sausaage. And da dishes on da “dwyin’ towel” what was posed to be clean had dwied foods still left on ‘em. Now fur yous sake and ours weez won’t leave da kitchen in our tellin’ ’bout hims. But hims was plannin’ on bein’ gone 4 days. And when he got home da mawgarine was gunna be used on those still dirty dishes, and who knows ’bout da sausage. But we can tell ya’ dat da skillet wasn’t gunna get washed afur bein’ used again.

 

Anyways, mommy had hers talk wiff Mr. W and hims huffed wound fur a few days. And then finally on Furiday hims stwolled up to da door and asked mommy ifin hims took her to da pet store and gave hers gween papers wuld she buy what hims needed fur Buddy. Hims has purrlenty of gween papers to take care of Buddy purropurr hims just dusn’t like to spend ‘em on anypawdy but hims selff. So mommy sed, “Sure, but only if you don’t complain about the cost and you buy what I tell ya’.” Hims agweed so yesfurday they went to da city to da pet store and Buddy got sum new clean fings. Mommy will have to yell at Mr. W purretty wegular or those new clean fings will be ruined and lookin’ like da old stuffs in no time, but fur da moment, Buddy be a blest kitty boy.
