Mommy Calls It Work, But I Call It Fun

Published on by Service Cats U.S.35 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s been livin’ da high life. I’s know, I’s may scare da livin’ daylights outta mommy, but I’s havin’ soooooo much fun. Now I’s not sayin’ dat fall I’s took was any fun, cuz it fur sure wasn’t da highlight of mines life. I’s not ever wanna do dat again. So I’s not spent much time in dat corner again. But there’s so many other pawsum things to get in to. Uh, I’s mean to play with. Fur some reason, mommy keeps yellin’ at me, “Raena, did you not learn anything?” What’s up with dat? I’s not even knows what she’s talkin’ ‘bout.

 Raena plays with the hedgehog

Take last night fur example. Mommy spent most of da day doin’ things she calls, “work”. You know, laundry and cleanin da house. I’s not know why anypawdy would call these things work, they’re sooooooo much fun. Anyways, back to last night. Mommy usually has a lot of stuffs on top of da washin’ machine. Somethin’ ‘bout keepin’ us away from danger. I’s think dat’s just a story she tells cuz there’s not any storage places in da bathroom. ‘Specially now, since I’s broke da shelves she had up. Yeah turns out I’s broke ’em and they can’t be put back up. Mommy’s gotta find somethin’ else to do fur storage now. Anyways, since she was runnin’ dat big machine, da top was bare. Bare I’s tell ya’. Not a thing on it. It was callin’ mines name. I could hear it plain as day. Raena, oh Raena, climb on up here. teeheehee  So I’s found me a way to climb up there and check it all out. OMC You’da thought I’s just jumped in da middle of shark filled waters. Da look on mommy’s face was one dat said she was not amused at all. And she said “NO RAENA!!”, and snatched me up so fast mines head spun. She was chatterin’ da whole time ‘bout Lexi, God rest her, getting’ stuck behind da washer fur a whole day on more than one occasion, and somethin’ ‘bout how she only says no, cuz she doesn’t want me to get hurt. Yeah, yeah sure. I’s thinks she just likes da way No sounds. She sure says it a lot. Well it doesn’t matter cuz she quickly blocked mines access, so there was no more explorin’ da top of da washer, let alone what was behind it. And befur dat snatchin’ I’s did see a lot of great vines fur swingin’ on back there (vines = hoses and cords).

Mommy’s next feat was to strip da bed. Oh what fun. I’s ran up and down da bed and played jump attack da squares on da mattress pad. WooHoo  Then things got even more fun. Mommy started whoopin’ sheets in da air and onto da bed. Lookit those pawsumly purrple sheets. Sis Dezi said a Christmas angel got those fur mommy, her and her sis Lexi, God rest her, fur Christmas last year. I’s not know what Christmas is , but I’s sure hope I’s have a Christmas angel dat gets me somethin’. 

     RaenaBelle!!! You’re not suppose to say things like dat.

 dw-Raena on sheetDSCN7515 (1024x699)

But why sissy? I’s do want a Christmas angel, cuz I’s want somethin’ fur me.

     You get purrlenty Raena. You have a full belly, a place to live, a comfy bed to sleep in and a furmily who luvs you. It’s not pawlite to ask fur a Christmas angel.

 dw-Raena plays with sheetDSCN7518edit (912x1024)

Well sissy it may not be pawlite, but I’s still hope I’s have one.

Anyways,I’s rolled ‘round in da clean sheets and jumped on ‘em and hid under them. What a cool game mommy, I’s meowed. Mommy would pick me up and put me on da ground to spray da sheets with purrfume every time. I’s didn’t let dat deter me. I’s was back on da bed in no time. Now fur those of ya’ dat don’t know, we have a hospital bed with a memory foam mattress. So mommy has to pick up da mattress to tuck da sheets, cuz her hands don’t fit ‘tween da rails. Mommy learned really quick, and da hard way, ya’ gotta have da rails to keep da mattress on da bed. I’s only heard da story, it all happened long befur I’s was even born; and a story fur another time maybe. Anyways, when mommy lifted da mattress, I’s had to hold on or be thrown. Can you ‘magine bein’ thrown from a buckin’ mattress? Not me, I’s too smawrt fur dat.

 Raena playing on the sheets

Well after da sheets were on da bed and smellin’ good mommy grabbed da blanky and whooped it in da air over da bed and…OMC  feathers went everywhere. Seems some kitty, who will remain nameless, actually put a whole in da down blanky. Have you ever tried to ketch those little downy duck feathers? It’s almost impawssible. But what a game. I’s really like this sheet changin’ day. I’s not know where I’s been fur da rest of them cuz sis Dezi says mommy does it at least once a week, but let me tell ya’, I’s not plan on missin’ another one. Sis Dezi says after a while it gets kinda borin’, I’s can’t ‘magine dat ever happenin’.

 dw-Raena lays on sheetDSCN7520edit (1024x633)

     Me used to think dat too Raena, but trust me. It won’t always be so much fun. 

 dw-Raena on sheetDSCN7517edit (1024x767)

Hey sissy, why don’t you tell everypawdy where you was durin’ da big thunder boomers and storm we’s been havin’? 

 Dezi lays on cardboard scratcher

     Fanks Raena, me hasn’t been able to get a word in cuz you’ve been meowin’ 90 to nuffin’. We have been havin’ storms and even rumblin’ mumblin’ skies this week. There’s also been days when da sky complained without da rain. Don’t know ifin God let da angels win on those days or what, but me just hung out with mommy like you do Raena. And fur those of ya’ dat don’t have a clue ‘bout me’s God and angels refurence, it comes from da story dat mommy’s grammaw told her ‘bout storms and dat she tells us. In short, thunder bommers are God and da angels bowlin’. And when it rains, dat’s da angels tears, they be cryin’ cuz they lost. Da purrtant thing here is dat me’s not been runnin’ under da chair or bed to hide. ‘Stead me’s been hangin’ out and chillin’ just like mommy wants me too.

 Pet Parade banner new

Now dat me got me’s bloggy back from Raena da usurpurr, we’s gonna wrap it up fur today. As we do on all Furidays, we’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. It’s ‘posed to be stormin’ again today, so we’ll be by to visit as we can. You all know mommy’s paranoid and makes us turn off da catputer durin’ storms; so we’ll be visitin’ as much as pawssible. We hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Dezi sits on bench

Meowllo and welcome to me’s world. You know me’s bloggy is called Deziz World fur a reason. Pawrently back when we started bloggin’ me was a little tyrant Princess kinda like Raena is now and mommy used to say it was my world and we’re all just livin’ in it. Anyways, ifin you’ve ever wondered how me’s bloggy got it’s name, dat’s it. On another note, we have a pawsum review fur ya’ today. As you know, we are Chewy Influencers and as such, each month we get to try new purroducts and tell you all ‘bout them. This month we chose a purroduct just fur all of you. Why is me comin’ to you from da pawdee box room you ask? Well, we get asked a lot ‘bout what kind of litter we recommend. As most of ya’ know, we’re natural litter kitties, and mommy luvs da flushability of natural, so it works fur us. But there’s a lot of peeps dat fur whatever reason purrfurr clay litter. We don’t really have a clue ‘bout what might be bestest among da clay litters. Mommy can’t even ‘member da last clay litter she bought. So, when we were given da oppurrtunity to try out a new clay litter, we thought ‘bout all of you clay users and jumped on it.

We received a 16 pound bag of BoxieCat all natural scent free premium clumping litter.

Altho’ it does come in two more furmulas, Extra Strength scent free and Gently Scented. Da purrice ranges from $17.99 to $18.99. As always you can save ifin you set up an auto ship.

 BoxieCat Clay Cat litter

Anyways, When it arrived mommy immediately took it outta da box so Raena could have a new play toy, da box not da litter. 

      I’s luvs those Chewy boxes sis Dezi. They are sooooo much fun. Mommy even let me play a little befur she got da box emptied.

 Raena sitting on the BoxieCat Cat litter in a chewy box

Okay Raena, but we’re still not reviewin’ da boxes. Now back to da litter. Mommy said it was like liftin’ a ton of bricks. Fur any who aren’t furmiliar with dat expression, it means it’s Heavy. It’s a full 16 pounds and feels like more. Now here’s a little side note fur ya’, notice da name of da litter says “natural”? Mommy says she had never really thought ‘bout it when she says dat we be natural litter kitties, so she immediately picked up da dictionary and looked up da word clay. Here’s what she found out. Clay is a fine grained natural rock or soil that is plastic due to it’s water content or when wet and is used to make bricks. Hmmmmm  Dat’s really innerestin’. Ifin ya’ have a kitty with feline acne, ya’ might wanna think ‘bout dat.  

 BoxieCat Clay Cat Litter

       Ya’ reckon dat’s where dat sayin’ came from sissy? You know, like a ton of bricks?  

Me doesn’t know Raena. Where do you get these questions from anyways?.

 Back to what me was sayin’. Da BoxieCat clay litter is NOT flushable, so there’s no way mommy could mix it with our normal litter. She got out a new box and cut open da bag. So far so good. Dat means there was no dust poofin’ outta da bag. Now ‘member this bag was really heavy, so mommy got a bench to set it on and pour from. (She usually uses a bench cuz she’s not posed to be liftin’ stuffs.) Oh me cats, dust was all up mommy’s nostrils and in her face. Maybe ifin da bag had been closer to da box dat wouldn’t have happened. Da bag is resealable, but we’re big kitties, and have jumbo or giant sized pawdee boxes so we needed da whole bag. Mommy did try da sealer to check it’s functionability, and found it to be difficult to seal. Once mommy got da BoxieCat litter spread out in da new box, it was ‘bout 1” to 1-1/2” deep. Now mommy had been told dat Raena was usin’ clay in her furmer residence (We highly doubted dat since she didn’t seem to know what a pawdee box was and used da piddle pads instead) so mommy expected her to be da furst to use da BoxieCat litter. 

       Dat’s not very nice of you to say sissy. I’s coulda been scared, or just not liked… 

(Dezi butts in)  Okay Raena, me’s sorry. Now can we get back to our review? 

        Fank you sissy, I’s sorry fur buttin’ in. Do you want me to tell everypawdy ’bout it? 

No Raena, me will take it from here.

 

BoxieCat Clay Cat litter

Well, it’s been down since da day after we received it a few weeks ago and neither one of us has even gotten in da box. Mommy hasn’t even caught us sniffing it and not a paw purrint one. So we can’t tell you anythin’ ‘bout it’s odor controlling capabilities. Nor can we say much ‘bout da dust factor as kitty claws and digs. But, mommy did finally take some out and put it in a bowl to check it’s clumping purropurrties. Da BoxieCat clay litter clumps fast and hard and sure nuff had a flat top. Da clumps are also quite heavy and should be disposed of in da trash can. Somethin’ to note fur long haired kitties, da liquid spread out fast and left a wide gummy wet clump. As fur tracking, mommy can say dat by looking at it and based on her many years of experience, it’s going to track. But, litter tracking is just one of those things dat go along with sharin’ your life and home with a kitty and a litter box. Get a good vacuum and just enjoy your furry purrer.

 BoxieCat Clay Cat litter

So what’s our rating fur da BoxieCat clay clumping litter? It’s made right here in da USA, so fur us dat’s a plus. There was no scent other than dat of clay. This is always a pawsitive as we cats don’t like scents in our toilets.  It clumps hard and fast. A good thing especially ifin you have more than one kitty or a line at da pawdee box. There was a dust cloud when pouring from a foot above da box. It is on da heavy side, but not any more so than similar clay litters of similar size (mommy checked around). Mommy thinks it’s a bit purricy fur a clay litter based on her research. But, ifin you’re one of those dat luvs your clay litter, this would be a purrfect choice. Unscented will get us on your side every time. A big paw up and thumb up fur dat. And mommy says clay makes fur excellent face and body masks (mommy kept out a little fur her own use when furst opening the bag).  

       OMC Dezi are you sayin’, Is dat what mommy had on her face da other day?

Service Cats Proper Training Methods Part 2

Furst mommy and me would like to thank you all for your kind words with regards to yesfurdays Blest Sunday posty.

Now that you’re all caught up, let’s talk more about training today. We didn’t get any questions from our last couple of posts, so we’re not sure which direction you all would like us to go, but we need to expand on training a bit. We have been asked where mommy learned her training methods. Years ago she started out training dogs. Once she fell into the clutches of a cat, she quickly learned she had to modify her training techniques to fit the feline behavior and mind. Most of what she learned she learned from raising motherless kittens. As most of you know, the mother and littermates would train a kitten to use the litterbox, how hard and when to bite, scratch, play and everything else a new kitten would need to know to survive. Kittens who lose their mothers before learning these things can grow up to be unruly and/or have a lot of behavioral issues. But even the kitten with an ideal upbringing can still benefit from a little training.

 Raena laying on the floor

Last week we told you that positive reinforcement is the best and proper method to train a cat. Negative reinforcement in very limited amounts has it’s place (the ear biting technique we discussed last week). Positive reinforcement can be anything from a treat to a hug or pat. Get to know your kitty, and you’ll quickly learn what their preference is. We also stated that most cats are not ruled by their tummies, so treats are not always effective training tools. Please, Do Not starve your non food motivated kitty in order to treat train. Mommy prefers to use other rewards anyways.

Last week we talked about inappropriate scratching, and offering appropriate options for kitty to use and even how to get kitty to use them. Remember if kitty is exhibiting behavioral problems, see your VET and rule out any illnesses before proceeding with any training. A sick cat, or one in pain will not learn no matter what method you try. We’ve been asked about how mommy trains us to massage her and what to do about kitty claws. We briefly covered this in a post above, but the question has been asked since then as well, so we thought we’d go over it again. Because we are Ragdolls and soft pawed, we don’t use our claws. But Shad, Devon, Lucky, Ransom and Lexi all had claws that needed to stay retracted, so mommy learned a technique that with repetition will work.

 Dezi scratching the cardboard race car

Kitty massage is merely kitty kneading that has been focused to a specific area. Almost all kitties knead. Mommy starts training massage as soon as kitty first starts to knead her. It’s never too early or too late to train kitty to retract their claws. Once kitty starts kneading, (usually a leg while sitting or laying in your lap) which is a push and pull with the paws; mommy lightly taps kittys paws when the claws come out. At the same time, she will say “ouch” and make a whimpering sound, or say “no claws” or “it hurts” followed by a small whimper. Typically kitty will splay open their paws, stop kneading and look up. Mommy smiles and asks kitty to massage her again while stroking kittys’ head, neck and/or face/chin; focusing on the scent gland areas. Typically kitty will start kneading again, but instead of a push and pull, kitty will push hard and almost pick up their paws to draw back. This may not happen the first or second or even tenth time, but repetition and sticking to the same method of training will cause kitty to eventually get it.

 Raena getting mommy loving

Once kitty is proficient in massage, it’s time to move them to the area you need massaged. For mommy, that’s just about everywhere, but let’s say your issue is migraines and you want a head massage. Mommy finds laying down to be the best for her, but if you have a chair with a back that kitty can lay on without falling off of and can reach your head, you can sit up for your massage. Let’s go with laying down. Either carry kitty with you or call kitty to come to you once you’ve laid down. Place kitty beside or behind your head, depending on how your bed is made up and where you are laying. Remember, wherever kitty is laying must be stable without the possibility of kitty falling off. Kitty will become euphoric during the massage process and thus lose their sense of balance. They may also drool and/or nuzzle.

 Dezi getting mommy loving and petting.

Once you and kitty are in place, start petting the head and face and speaking softly to kitty until kitty starts kneading. At this point the knead will mostly be a pushing. Keep your head in place, don’t move it with the push. Begin to praise and thank kitty at this point. Mommy always says things like “Thank You”, or “That feels so good”, and always, “I love you”. At some point during the session, comment about how your migraine is feeling better. Be specific. There will come a time when you are able to say, “I have a migraine” or “I need a massage” and kitty will automatically get into position to give you one. You can use the same technique for any part of your body. Always remember, training is all about Repetition, Repetition, Repetition.

 Dezi and Raena eating treats on the liberty cat tree

Well there ya’ have it, mommy’s training tips on kitty massage. Mommy says there’s nothin’ better for a migraine, than a purring massaging kitty. We do want to remind you that kitty should not eat your hair, and anytime pawssible, the hair should be clean of hair products as a lot of those products are hazardous to kitty. Me’s gonna wrap it up now and see ‘bout getting’ a nap in and maybe even a stroll later today. Please leave any questions or topics you’d like us to cover in da comment section below.

Is there something you need help training your cat to do?

 

If there was a kitty kindergarten like there is for dogs, would you be interested?

What’s Raena Done Now

Published on by Service Cats U.S.66 Comments

We’re Back!!! Ifin ya’ follow us on Facebook, you know why we weren’t ‘round on Wednesday, but ifin ya’ don’t, then you’re purrobably wonderin’ what happened. Let me tell ya’, it wiped mommy completely out. She wasn’t worth nuffin’ from Wednesday afternoon on. Anyways, let me just tell ya’ ‘bout it.

 Dezi laying on the liberty cat tree

Wednesday meownin’ things were goin’ purretty much like every other day. Raena and mostly me had gotten mommy to da bathroom and we were all doin’ our girly meownin’ business. Well, except Raena, she was getting’ into anythin’ she could.

Wait a minute. (Dezi thinks a second) That is what she does every meownin’.

Okay, so we were all doin’ a meownin’ business when all of a sudden Miss Ain’t ‘Fraid of Nuffin’, Miss Me’s got no fear Raena pulled da shelves off da wall and everythin’ came crashing to da ground. Now furstly me needs to ‘splain ‘bout those shelves. As ya’ know we live in a small ‘pawrtment and it doesn’t have any storage space. You also know we don’t have much money, so we make do. Da dollar stores sell these aluminum space savers for puttin’ over your toilets. Well, it doesn’t fit in our bathroom cuz of da way everything’s pawsitioned, so ‘stead of sittin’ on da floor, mommy hung it on da wall and loaded it up. So, 3 shelves full of stuffs and da spacesaver shelf itself came crashin’ down. All while mommy was brushin’ her teefies.

 Dezi and Raena laying on the liberty cat tree

 All dat ‘xcitement tuckered me plum out.

Bathroom spacesaver shelves

Take off da bottom bars and lower legs

and hang it on da wall. This is what

Raena pulled down.

After lookin’ ‘round and seein’ all her stuffs everywhere, but no kitties, mommy assumed Raena had hauled it with me down da hall to safety; so she calmly picked things up so dat we could get to da pawdee boxes and she could get outta da room to fix us brekky. What me furgot to tell you is dat cuz of all da rain we’d been getting’, mommy’s pain levels was off da charts, and she’d furgotten to take her allergy pill da night befur so she couldn’t breathe. But alas, mommy knew we must be a little scared and fur sure we was waitin’ fur brekky; so she pushed through and furinally emerged and headed fur da kitchen. Me was sittin’ right at da edge of da livin’ room watchin’ fur her, and upon seein’ her, me ran to da chair to help her. Mommy luvved on me and pawlogized and then yelled to Raena dat she luvved her too and dat she was gonna be makin’ us brekky. (mommy assumed Raena was in da livin’ room just outta her sight) 

Dezi atop the Liberty cat tree overseeing the search for Raena  Mommy, do you want some help? Can you stand up yet?

 

 Mommy went ‘bout makin’ brekky and getting’ her a cup o’ joe and realized Raena wasn’t struttin’ ‘round da kitchen gettin’ into everythin’, so mommy started callin’ fur her to come up and eat brekky. Once da brekky plates were ready, mommy sat them down. Still no Raena.

We knew there was a purroblem. Da girl likes to eat let me tell ya’. Knowin’ what a fearless adventurer Raena is, mommy really started to worry. All she could think was dat Raena could be somewhere hurt or dyin’ and unable to get to us. Mommy worried dat Raena could hear us and would be there wonderin’ why we didn’t luv her enuff to come and find and save her. So, not bein’ able to walk yet, and most of our hidin’ places bein’ non wheelchair accessible anyways, mommy fell to da floor and began to crawl ‘round lookin’ fur her. 3 hours later, after all da typical hidin’ places were checked and many tearful calls dat went unanswered, mommy sent me to facebook and cat scouts to ask fur purrayers. We just knew somethin’ really bad was wrong cuz Raena wasn’t even meowin’ (answerin’) mommy’s calls to her. Mommy took a short break and then was on da hunt fur Raena again.

Another 3 hours later, mommy heard a faint meow when she called out. Mommy looked in da direction of da meow and chills went through her bones. Mommy used to have a big queen sized bed befur da hospital bed we have now, and altho’ it’s gone, da frame with all it’s tacky metal edges still stands in da corner. Da corner where Raena meowed from. There are things dat mommy still hasn’t gotten put back together from da flood, so there is also other stuff in da corner in front of dat frame includin’ a small pillow roll. Mommy thinks Raena thought she could get on da pillow and be safe, but it’s too small and would have easily thrown her. In other words, da only way fur a kitty to get back there would be to fall over/through dat tacky edged metal frame.

 Bed frame hiding spot

Bed frame hiding spot

Terrified of what she might find, mommy quickly but carefully started peelin’ everythin’ away till she could see little Raena. There she was, standin’ on her hind paws (no room fur anythin’ else, and her paw was caught ‘tween two frames and she couldn’t get it out. Every time she would pull her paw, da frames would tighten ‘round it. Raena looked up at mommy with da same relief she had da day mommy picked her up and brought her home. Mommy loosened everythin’ and reached down and rescued Raena. We all cried and gave thanks to God. Fankfully, Raena hadn’t been gored or cut by any of da jagged pieces of metal. Her paw was limp, but no bones appeared broken. Her heart was racin’, but all in all she looked okay. After a bit, she had full use of her paw, and was getting’ ‘round fine. 

 Bed frame hiding spot

Me knows you all wanna know ifin Raena be a scaredy cat now right? Did she learn her lesson? NO!!! She didn’t learn anythin’!!! She was right back at it an hour later. Me will tell ya’ dat she did jump when mommy made noise with da bed frame when she was takin’ fotos and puttin’ everythin’ back together. Well……at least maybe she won’t terrify mommy by jumpin’ up there again. And no, we don’t have fotos of Raena stuck. Mommy just doesn’t think ‘bout those kinds of things. All she could think of was savin’ Raena. Gotta tell ya’, dat’s one of da reasons we luv our mommy so much.

 Raena inside the house on the Liberty Cat tree

So, dat’s where we was. Mommy was exhausted once Raena was found, so she just told me we would post and visit today. Then she ‘membered her case manager’s comin’ today, so we’ll be by as soon as we can. We do wanna fank everypawdy fur your purrayers and good thoughts. Fur everypawdy who suggested shakin’ a food or treat bag, our raw food and freeze dried treats don’t make any noise. But again, Raena couldn’t get out and get to us. And thus da reason mommy continued to search fur her all 6 hours. We’re not judgin’ anypawdy, but attitudes like “wait and see” or “she’ll come out eventually” are reasons cats don’t get as much VET care as doggies, and thus feline medicine isn’t as advanced as it should be. Just somethin’ to think ‘bout, maybe kitty can’t get to you, or doin’ so may cause them further injury. We can’t say fur sure. All we can say, is dat mommy will always look fur us and not wait fur us to come ‘round. It’s Furiday, so we’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. Me’s gonna go have a nip tumble.
