After we all get around and sissy and me have our breakfast and mommy has a cup of coffee or two we settle in to start our celebrations. Mommy usually tells da story but today she sed I kuld. So pull up a chair and grab you sum coffee or your drink of choice.

Open da Bible to da story mommy, you know da one ‘bout God luvvin’ us so much dat He gave His only Son so dat whoever believed in Him kuld have eternal life. John 3:16 (paraphrased) And then da one ‘bout how Jesus got here.

So, a long time ago in a place very far away, lived a girl and her betrothed. Dat’s a fiance` in case you was wunnerin’. Well peeps had kind of lost site of God and doin’ right. But God knew all was not lost and decided to send His only Son to earth to save us all from sin and hell. The very furst Christmas purresent was born, literally. Happy Birffday Jesus. But Jesus isn’t just fur Christmas, He’s fur da whole year fru. Jesus was born in a lowly stable full of anipals. Da furmily didn’t have much, but they had lots and lots of luv. And so long as you have luv and God in your life, you can make it fru anyfin’. We are so blest cuz we have each other and now all our furiends from all round da world cuz of da innernets. 

 

So after mommy tells us da story, we sing lots of carols and songs together. And then we settle in to purray and thank God fur all da blessings in our lives and His gift to da world. And then we’ll be openin’ up all those pawsum purresents we got. And as we open each one we’ll say a little purrayer askin’ God to bless them fur includin’ us. And then we’ll all snuggle together and take a little nap. Da day will be over afur we know it, but next year when it comes around again, you’ll find us doin’ da very same thing. There’s nuffin’ wrong with a little tradition.

The Poor Relations

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Oh weekend weez so glad you’re here. Meowllo everypawdy how’re ya’ doin’? You all know we be da poor relatives right? It’s okay, we know it. You know mommy qualifies fur one of those cheap cell fones. Yeah dat’s right, they be free all across da country ‘cept here in one of da poorest states in da Union. Here they cost money. Anyways, they don’t get a signal at our house so mommy’s just always kept her old prepaid fone. It dusn’t get a signal at da house eever, and it ain’t smart by no stretch of da magination; but it’s cheaper than da cheap government fones. So anyways this past week mommy had to go pick up her medicine from da farmacy and da cheap cell fone peeps had a tent set up outside da grocery store. Mommy decided to go on over and ask ‘bout da smarty pants fones. Ya’ know what? They had one. Sum android job fur da cheap. So mommy thought she’d take da plunge and smarten up wiff da rest of da world.

Open mouthed Dezi in a heart with candle and ornaments and fir

A few minutes later and mommy was off wiff her new teeny tiny smarty pants fone. Yep dat’s right, it’s ‘bout 4 inches wiff a 3 inch screen and a keypad smaller than mommy’s pinky. Sissy and me fur sure won’t be usin’ this fone, but dat’s okay, it don’t get service anywhere but da grocery store…5 miles away. MOL   So mommy tried to connect to da innernet but when she typed in meez blog address da auto correct kept changin’ it. Course mommy’s not as smart as da fone so it took 10 tries and 45 minutes fur her to figger out what was happenin’. We still haven’t found da auto correct button to turn it off, cuz mommy had another little accident in da meantime and now has a finger twice it’s size. Me knows what you all are finkin’. Mommy got ripped off by sum fly by night. but truth is, our town is just dat small. We don’t have any cell stores within a 100 miles so da companies set up little tents in these small towns like ours and do business. There’s lots of little towns like ours in Oklahoma. And da tent’s there 4-5 days a week, so they be a real business. Course dat doesn’t mean mommy didn’t get ripped off. MOL 

 

Anyways, meez been takin’ it easy on mommy and not askin’ her to type too much cuz she broke a fingernail. Now me knows what you’re thinkin’. BooHoo a broken fingernail, just get over it. Right? Normally me wuld agwee, but this ain’t just any broken fingernail. Mommy has purretty long nails to begin wiff and it bwoke way down in da quick. Me thought she wuld never get it to stop bleedin’. 2 days later it’s finally stopped, lessen she bumps it, gets it wet, or ketches it on sumfin’.  And it ain’t purretty, let me tell ya’. Me kept meowin’ at her to stop typin’ da furst day cuz da blood was everywhere. So weez takin’ it easy fur now and will get back to visitin’ and commentin’ more when mommy’s finger gets better. Maybe in da meantime, she can smarten up da smarty pants fone afur she gets so furustrated she has ‘em turn it off. MOL

In other news, a couple of meez fellow cat scouts sent me and sis Lexi a little sumfin’ sumfin’ fur Christmas. Mommy let me see and smell ‘em but she wuldn’t let me have ‘em. Oh da torture. cuz let me tell ya’ they all smell divine. Thank you sooooooooo much Dora, Tiger, Trouble and Spooky. We can’t wait to open yous gift. And fank yous bunches Timmy, Einstein, Fitz, Buttons, Rumpy, Buddy, Toby and uncle Pete. Me can’t believe mommy took back da toys after lettin’ me smell ‘em. Meez thinkin’ me might need to call Austin and have a NuCat meetin’ over this or sumfin’. Me better wrap it up. poor mommy’s one handed typin’ is fadin’. Y’all enjoy da weekend and member, Christmas is almost here.

OMC me almost furgot; weez joinin’ da Pet Parade as always.

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

It’s Finally Furiday!!! We told ya’ dat our catputer updated to da new Windows 10 and we were tryin’ to find everything and reload all da stuff we use and so many of ya’ sed you hadn’t updated cuz of all da bad you heard ‘bout it. We wanna tell ya’ dat you shuldn’t be ‘fraid. By this time most of all those bad things have been fixed and worked out. Mommy sez da biggest thing ‘bout Windows 10 is dat it be different, and we are all creatures of habit who don’t like change. We still haven’t found everyfin’ and we’re not yet thru reloadin’ programs, but we’re likin’ it so far. And NO, Microsoft didn’t pay us to say dat. MOL

Now yous askin’ why it is dat we’re still reloadin’ stuff right? Well dat’s cuz we’re havin’ innernet trubbles. We had a pointment yesfurday fur a fix it man to come out and take a look. Da pointment time was tween da hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.; kuld they be more vague?. Anyways, mommy sat right here waitin’ all day long fur mr. ATT  innernet fix it man to show up or call. Mommy relunctantly closed da door when it got dark and cold even tho he still hadn’t showed up. A kupple hours later and our pointment time over we still hadn’t heard from mr. ATT fixer. Mommy has a doctors pointment today so we can’t call and have him come out now, but trust me, mommy will be havin’ a chat wiff da peeps at ATT. And she found da cell fone nummer fur da last mr. ATT innernet fix it man dat came here so she has plans to give him a call too. Anyways, we hope this publishes and dat you all continue to bear with us. We will be by to visit as soon a we can. We seem to be able to get online fur short bursts of time so we be tryin’ to visit durin’ those windows. In da meantime, here’s a few fotos of how we be spendin’ our no innernet days.

The Holiday’s Are Coming

Published on by Service Cats U.S.46 Comments

Da weekend is finally here and Thanksgiving’s just round da corner. You know what else is comin’ up? Meez 6th Gotchaday, dat’s what. Yep dat’s right. Mommy rescued me and saved meez life 6 years ago. Yep, meez littermates and me was rescued and taken to a big ole cold room with lots of cages and loud noises. And then…da sweetest smell me had ever smelled wafted thru da air. Meez littermates and me was all gathered up in a basket and dumped out onto da cold hard floor. Me kuld see a bright light in da direction of da sweet smell so me had to go and check it out. Meez littermates was all huddled together and wouldn’t hardly move. But not me. Me waddled over and climbed da hills what was mommys legs and turned on meez purr motor. She wasn’t leavin’ there without me no matter what kind of charm this little girly had to do.

No way mommy could say no to me.

Mommy looked down at me and smiled. Her eyes filled with salty water and she spoke da most beautiful words me had ever heard, “You’re my Destiny.” Me didn’t know zactly what dat meant, but da smile on her face and warm comfurt in her voice sed it was a good thing. Me purred even louder when she spoke. And then she picked me up and sed, “Wanna come home with me little one?” Me purred so hard meez whole body shook. Of course me wanted to go home with her. Why did she think me was doin’ all of this ifin not to make her fall fur me? It worked and she told da lady she wuld take me home to live with her and Lexi. Me didn’t know how blest me was gunna be. But me has a pawsum home with a wonderful sissy and a mommy who wuld do anything fur me.

We recently won a book ‘bout Simon’s Cat from Cat Chat Cody and his mommy; dat mommy has been readn’ to us. What fun. None of us were furmiliar with this Simon or his cat, so weez really enjoyin’ da antics and drawings in this pawsum book. We don’t really do book reivews, but we will say dat ifin you need a Christmas purresent fur da cat luvver who has everything, Simon’s Cat: Off to the vet wuld make a gweat guft. 

 

So with Thanksgiving right around da corner we wanna remind you ‘bout a few safety tips to help make da holiday fun fur you and da furry members of your household. Remember we don’t all purreciate parties, company or even wild decorations. And sum of us don’t know to stay away from da flames on candles. And those cute and sumtimes really purretty oil burners? Well MOST essential oils are poisonous to your fur kids; and your human ones too ifin ingested. Dat dusn’t mean you can’t use these things just dat they need to be supervised and/or out of reach of all da wee peeps and 4 leggeds in da house. And dat fancy feast yous cookin’ up fur da festivities might smell delicious and have us scopin’ out da kitchen, but most of it is toxic to us furries.

#Lexi the #Servicecat sits in box

By now most peeps know chocolate shuld not be on da menu fur your cat, dog or other furry, and alcohol is an absolute no no. Onions, garlic and chives can cause liver and kidney purroblems specially fur kitties. See it’s not da turkey we can’t have, it’s all da stuff you put on it to titillate your taste buds dat makes it toxic fur us.

 

Mommy sez a good rule of thumb is: Ifin your cat kuldn’t ketch it in da wild, it purrobly shuldn’t go on da plate.

 

So, plain ole turkey tom lurkey? Give me sum!!! But roasted and stuffed and slathered in garlic butter turkey tom? Nope, can’t have it. Fur a list of human foods dat shuldn’t be served to us fur kids you can check out da ASPCA here.

#Dezi the #servicecat lays in a box

But food and smellies awen’t da only hazards at this time of year. Those purretty poinsettias on da table or window sill awe purrlenty poison as well. Mommy sez ifin it has or grows from a bulb, it shuld be considered poisonous. But there awe so many plants and flowers dat be poisonous we kuldn’t begin to cover them all in this post. So when in doubt, check it out here. Ifin you think your fur kid has gotten into sumfin they shuldn’t have or has been poisoned you can call da ASPCA animal poison control center at: 888-426-4435. They do require a credit card so they can charge $65.00. There is also da Pet Poison Helpline at: 855-764-7661. They charge $49.00. Both awe available 24/7/365. But ifin you think your anipal has been poisoned, don’t wait. See your VET ASAP. Sum poisons can be reversed ifin caught in time.

 

Hope weez helped ya’ a bit. Wiff just a few purrcautions everypawdy can enjoy da holidays togevver. We’ll be covering a few more tips next week so stay tuned. As we do every week, weez joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Parade.

 

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