Well it’s June alweady. And do you know what dat means? Yeah it duz mean warmer wedder and cook outs and vacation time, but it also means kitten season is in purrime swing. Shelters and rescues everywhere awe filled to da bwim wiff adowable cuddly kitties and cats. And all they be wantin’ is a warm place to call home, full bellies and luv. And in return they will offer you unconditional luv and adowation. Affection, purrs and a fluffy lap blanky. It’s also Adopt a Shelter Cat Mumff. We know yous alweady seen lots of our baby fotos, but mommy kuldn’t wesist just 1.
As you all know sis Lexi and me be rescues. Mommy saved us boff fwum certain death. And as most of you also know neever of us had to spend any time in a shelter or a cage, so we don’t know what dat be like. But we can magine and know dat we wuldn’t like it. Ifin yous missed da stowries of our beginnings, you can read them in mommys Luv letters to us, hereand here. There’s lots of reasons fur a kitty to be at da shelter. Sum awe there cuz they were picked up off da stweets as stways. And sum of them be there cuz there hoomans didn’t want them anymore. We weally can’t unnewstand how a furmily kuld take their furry to a place dat’s gunna lock ‘em in a cage and maybe even kill ‘em. But it happens all da time. Sumtimes they report dat da kitty peed on da floor stead of da pawdee box, or maybe they suddenly developed an allergy. Or they be movin’ sumwhere dat dusn’t allow pets. Why wuld you do dat? Yous wuldn’t move off and leave yous two legged kids behind. And here’s one of our favowits, “ I’m pregnant and can’t clean the litterbox without getting Toxoplasmosis.” The last time mommy volunteered wiff da clinic she actually saw and heard a lady say dat wiff a stwaight face, Da liklihood of dat happenin’ is so low it isn’t even funny. But there she was and da poor kitty not knowin’ what be goun’ on at all. Anyways, Lexi and me know how lucky and blest we awe, and twy to fank mommy everyday. And we purray fur all da kitties dat not be as blest as us. We hope da day comes when there’s no longer a need fur shelters cuz all kitties have luvvin’ furever homes and be spayed or neutered.
So why shuld you adopt a kitty dat be in a shelter? Well don’t you wanna save a life? Cuz dat be zactly what you be duin’. And as we sed earlier you will be on da weceivin’ end of sum gwatefull purrs. and unconditional love. Lots of shelters be runnin’ specials wight now so you can pick up a kitty or two at a discount. Now you know you wanna. Mommy sez she never wants to know what life be like wiffout us. She sez we be so smawrt and purrfect and make life worff livin’. Now don’t you need a weason to get up in da meownin’s? Well a kitty can do dat fur ya’. And 2 kitties is even twice da weason. And ifin yous purrvide us wiff a scwatchin’ post we won’t even scwatch up yous furniture. Give us sum nip and weez’ll keep ya’ entertained. And a few toys, wegular VET checks, quality noms, and purrawmiss to luv us furever and weez’ll give you many years of companionship and comfurt. Weez’ll be there fur ya’ when you gwaduate, or bweak up wiff dat no good fur nuffin’ so and so, or get da gweat job purrmotion, or even ifin yous lose yous job. No matter what, weez’ll be there to luv you fwu it all. And weez’ll never judge ya’. And weez smawrt too. After all, mommy twained us to be Service cats. And weez be weally clean. We bathe ourselves just fine. Sum of us play fetch. Whatever yous lookin’ fur there be a kitty out there fur ya’.

Well let me see where me left off da udder day. Oh yeah, sissy had eaten 2 packets of da new noms and we was in fur da night. Mommy cleaned up our dinner mess and crawled into da shower.. Yes of course sissy and me was wight there to help her when she needed it. Mommy kept lookin’ at da hooman pawdee box and finkin’ it looked pawfully small, but she didn’t fink much else till she twied to sit down and just kept on fallin’. OMC This was one of those teeny potties like they had put in our pawrtment after da flood. Later we found lots of peeps was talkin’ ‘bout da teeny hooman pawdee boxes. It never occurred to mommy to wequest a handicap room when makin’ da reservations cuz she knew she kuldn’t take hers wheelchair and beyond dat she didn’t fink. But mommy ‘cided we was in and unpacked and tired and so this was gunna be our room fur da duwation. So we all crawled into bed and Lexi chatted up mommy while givin’ hers a head massage. She was tellin’ mommy how happy she was to be there and how much fun we were gunna have. It was workin’ just like mommy had fawt it wuld. Da twip and bein’ away in a motel was puttin’ da pep wight back into Lexi. Happy Lexi, equals happy mommy and me.
Meez here mr. paparazzi eat yous heart out.
Da next meownin’ came way to soon fur mommy, but she got up anyways and got weady to go down and have bwekky and take hers furst class. Mommy and me headed down and OMC they was servin’ bacon. Yep, it was piled so high me kuldn’t see da bottom of da pan. After bwekky we went to our class and then back in to visit da exhibition hall again. Mommy told them all ‘bout how sissy ate such a good dinner and not just dat, but this meownin’ she ate 2 of thoes pouches again. So da pawsum peeps fwum Weruva loaded us up wiff noms and told us to check wiff ‘em later. And then mommy let me take a turn on da big Cat twee. Da paparazzi luvved me. We had lunch and then went up to da room to take a small bweak. And mommy left me behind and gwabbed sis Lexi and they went back down fur anudder class. Mommy did da switcharoo sevewal times dat day so Lexi and me boff kuld have a turn. Specially cuz everytime mommy wuld leave Lexi in da room, she wuld follow mommy to da door and wanna go. After da class mommy and Lexi went to da exhibition hall and they was tellin’ da cat peeps all ‘bout how we got to come to BlogPaws and ‘bout poor Brian getting’ sick and all and she told us to take a kupple extwa goodies fur them. Weez sendin’ ‘em a box today wiff a little BlogPaws swag. Anyways, mommy and Lexi came back up wiff Ms. Ava and flat Christy Paws and Miss Emily and Sophie joined ‘em.
Now comes da pawrt dat we pawently need to splain. See weez be Service cats. Dat means we be twained to help mommy purrfurm daily tasks to continue livin’ independently. We awen’t Celebwacats. Altho’ weez fur sure wanna be, so weez be workin’ on our hostessin’ abilities. As Service cats we can be very furiendly and outgoin’ while out on duty, ifin mommy sez it be okay; but home (or our room) is ours. Weez not used to havin’ company or entertainin’ in our space. So Lexi did gweat when she visited wiff Sophie and flat Christy. Me on da udder hand…well me just hung UTB lissenin’ to everyfin’ goin’ on. Our guest stayed a while and then went back downstairs fur anudder class. Mommy decided to stay in da room wiff us cuz we had an innewview later on dat night and we was gunna be meetin’ awnty Mary fwum Facebook. Furiday night was a furee night. Meanin’ there was no classes, dinners or anyfin’ else. Awnty Mary bwought mommy sum much needed cokes and went to da innewview wiff mommy and me afur leavin’. It was so nice to meet awnty Mary, and this time sis Lexi lissened in UTB. Alone again, we came out to play wiff mommy and have dinner. Again, sissy ate a pouch and a can of da noms. Mommy was so happy to see sissy eatin’ so well. And sissy was also jumpin’ fwum chair to chair to bed in our room. Yep, da twip was duin’ everyfin’ it kuld to make sissy feel better.
Caturday came too fast fur us. This had all been a whirlwind and we just didn’t want it to end. Now me told ya’ there was a couple doggies dat purrawllu shuldn’t have been there cuz they weren’t da bestest behaved. They had lunged and growled and bawked at me and Lexi fwuout da day on Furiday. So it came time fur mommy to get weady to go down to da dinner and she ‘cided to go by hers selff. There wasn’t a lot of room at those tables fur our stwoller. But just as she was sayin’ goodbye and headin’ out sis Lexi ran to da door and wanted to go. Mommy told her she had to go in da stwoller ifin she was to go, and picked Lexi up and put her in da stwoller. lexi purromptly jumped out and gwabbed hers leash and ran fur da door. Again mommy told her she had to be in da stwoller and this time sissy dwopped da leash and went unner da bed. Ifin she kuldn’t go da way she wanted, she just didn’t wanna go at all. MOL Anyways da twip was so much fun fur all of us. But we awe glad to be home.

And speakin’ of home… We wasn’t home more than a kupple of hours and sis Lexi was jumpin’ all over da cat twee and askin’ fur tweats. Mommy was so ‘cited she stawrted diggin’ fwu da swag bag to get her sum. And she gwabbed da camera and snapped a few fotos as well as a small video. Hope yous enjoy it, weez fwilled Lexi feels so good. Now weez workin’ on a small give away, so bear wiff us and weez’ll post dat soon.
Well a Blest Sunday to you all. And based on yous comments, nun of ya’ be tired of hearin’ ‘bout BlogPaws, so weez gunna tell ya’ more today. After all, attendin’ was a huge blessin’ fur us and weez still reapin’ da rewards of dat blessin’. We need to stawrt a week afur we left tho’ so you unnewstand it all. Sis Lexi hadn’t been duin’ very good at all. She wuldn’t eat again, at least food. She ate her teaspoon of ham baby food dat mommy mixed hers meds in, but she wuldn’t eat anyfin’ else in da house. And twust me mommy was twyin’. She was dwinkin’ a lot and a little lethargic. She had long since quit playin’ wiff da cat twee which mommy was weally sad ‘bout. See sissy had always luvved to jump and climb and be high up too. And of course mommy had wanted a twee fur years afur we got one cuz she knew sissy wuld just luv it, so it weally hurt mommy to see sissy not getting’ to enjoy da cat twees we had been given.
Weez at home watchin’ mommy pack.
We didn’t wanna tell you all how bad it ws cuz mommy didn’t wanna be judged and called bad fings. See sumtimes when we be in da spotlight peeps fink they have da right to tell us how we oughtta do fings and ifin weez not do what they fink is wight then they can be weally mean. And mommy felt bad enuff. But she just knew ifin she kuld get Lexi on this twip fings wuld turn wound fur her. Nopawdy knows us like our mommy, and mommy knows dat sissy luvs to twavel and stay in motels. (They used to twavel sum when sissy was yunger.) Mommy sez ifin she kuld afford it we wuld stay in a motel one weekend a mumff cuz it duz her so much good. Anyways, da day came fur us to leave. It was mommys birffday so we was hangin’ out wiff mommy watchin’ her pack up. Then it came time to load us up. Since we live so faw fwum everyfin’ mommy combines twips, so da only place we been goin’ lately (or so it seemed) was da VET. And we wanted no pawrt of dat.
I didn’t wanna be in da stroller wiv Dezi and she didn’t want me there eeber. Yep weez purretty spoiled.
So when mommy stawted puttin’ us in da stwoller we stawrted actin’ out and hissin’. We didn’t wanna be anywhere near each udder. Usually we twavel weally well in da stwoller togedder, but not this time. So mommy had to get da udder carrier outta da closet. So we finally got loaded up and we was off. And altho’ weez not usually sing in da car, we was tellin’ mommy all ‘bout why we didn’t wanna go to da VET. Mommy kept tellin’ us we wasn’t but we wasn’t so sure we oughtta believe her. Course it’s a lot of twubble to holler constantly so we didn’t sing fur too long, and as we told ya’ yesfurday, we ran into funnerstowms and dat shut us up purretty quick. By da time we got to our furst stop we knew da VET wasn’t in line fur this twip but we wasn’t fur sure what was actually goin’ on. Ifin yous missed our car twip, click here, cuz now weez gunna go stwaight to our BlogPaws arrival.
So da day we arrived, we got checked into our hotel room and got our bags put in da room and we went back downstairs to check in. Dat’s when we got this pawsum “swag bag” and mommy got a t-shirt. Lexi and me was checkin’ it all out fwum inside da stwoller. And we saw this giant doggy wiff pink and purrple fur. OMC da fings hoomans do to us. It ain’t wight, it just ain’t wight. Anyways, after getting’ this pawsum swag bag we ran into sum furiends and visited a few minutes afur adjoirnin’ to da exhibit hall/room.
There were tables side by side all over dat big room. So many in fact dat mommy didn’t weally know where to stawt. And so she just stawted at da furst table she came too. Mommy was pushin’ us along and there were so many peeps everywhere there was barely any room fur us. Every once in a while sumpawdy wuld ask mommy ifin we was doggies and then look in and tell us how cute we was. Mommy opened da stwoller a few times so peeps kuld pet us, and pawently so da doggies kuld sniff and bawk at us. Fur da most pawrt most of da animals there were very well behaved, but there was a few dat weally needed to go back to school, and so did their hoomans.
Meez lookin’ out da slidin’ door in our room onto da balcony.
There was even a big enclosure wiff fake munny dat mommy got in. See mommy stepped in and they closed da door and turned on a fan. Mommy was posed to gather as much of dat paper munny as she kuld as fast as she kuld. OMC Yous shulda seen how cwazy mommy looked twyin’ to gwab paper mummy. Mommy wuld have fweaked out ifin sumpawdy had of taken a foto of her, so no…there’s no fotos. At da time da camera’s were still packed away anyways and needed rechawign’. Weez not have extwa batteries and weez use da cameras a lot so da batteries not hold a chawge fur very long anymore. Not complainin’ here, just statin’ why we don’t have fotos of everyfin’. Altho’ as me stated, there wasn’t gunna be any fotos of mommy lookin’ cwazy. MOL Mommy caught sumfin’ like almost $400.00, but she wasn’t even close to da highest catcher who was at $1000.00. To be honest, weez not even member what da purrize was. MOL
What’cha duin’ on da balcony wiffout me mommy?
Anyways after dat bit of fun, we went on to da next table and da next. And dat’s where we ran into da Tiki Cat and Weruva peeps. They make foods dat be low in phosphorous and good fur sissy to eat wiff hers kidney purroblem. They gave us sum sample packets and talked wiff mommy fur a while and finally it was time fur da exhibitors to shut down. At da end of da evenin’ mommy took us up to da room and got us unpacked and settled in. And then mommy got out one of those packets of noms and offered it to Lexi. She came flyin’ off da bed and stawrted chowin’ down like she was stawrvin’. She finished off one packet and asked fur anudder which mommy was glad to give her. Just as mommy suspected, da twip was stawrtin’ to pep sis Lexi up. Later…well me just wealized how long this posty alweady is, so me will tell ya’ more later. We awe so extremely blest to have such pawsum furiends here in da world of da innewnet. Take a few moments to count yous blessings today and everyday. When you stawt yous day wiff gwatitude it’s just better all da way wound.
