Anyways, today weez just gunna post sum artsy cool fotos and let mommy west and unpack sum mowe so maybe we can hav da house back by Munday.

Hey weez wanna wemind yous dat ow latest awticle weez wrote fur da Daily Mews is out now and it’s a weally purrtant one ‘bout da Soft paws. Yous can read it by clicking here. And member yous can subscwibe to da mewsletter fur fwee and nevew miss an awticle again. There’s a little sumfin’ fur evewyone there. And wight now there be a contest goin’ on yous all might wanna check out here. It’s all ‘bout da holidays which awe fast approachin’.
Weez also want to continue to fank Savannah and hers mommy Ms. Linda fur sponsowin’ a fundwaiser to help us get a purropurr chair fur mommy so hers can get off da floor and a new dwy mattwess and sum steps fur sis Lexi (and me, cuz yous know meez gunna use ‘em too). Weez can’t fank yous all enuff. Weez wanna fank da *Concerned Cats fur their donation, it is weally purreciated. Ifin yous wuld like to check it out yous can do so here. As yous know ow pawtment wuz flooded not once but twice in less than a mumff and as a wesult, sum of ow stuffs got damaged or in da case of mommys chair, it just bwoke all to pieces. Weez purreciate all da donations dat hav been given wegardless of da amount, they ALL help get us closer to da goal.
Weez wuld like to addwess sum of your suggestions, as they awe purreciated. A lot of yous hav mentioned weez kuld use boxes to help sis Lexi climb. And weez do when we can, but weez hav mumffly pawtment inspections and get in twubble fur havin’ boxes sittin’ wound. They awe considered a fire hazard and bug motel. And of course weez still hav da same purrawllem weez had wiff da cheap steps mommy had owiginally bought. We awe BIG girlys weighing in at 30 pounds EACH. Dat be 60 pounds of kitties. And when weez do zoomies and take a flying leap at da steps (boxes, etc.) yous hav to add 10-15 pounds to each of our weights due to inertia. Sis Lexi has needed help fur a foo years now, so mommy has twied evewyfin’ hers kuld fink of or find as an option, but da solution weally is good solid heavy duty steps. Fank you all again fur all yous help and fur da suggestions.
Meowllo evewypawdy, awe yous all enjoyin’ da long weekend? Yous know, hoomans nevew cease to amaze me. Here it is Labor Day, a day celebwatin’ da Amewican labor movement, and yet most evewypawdy’s got da day off. In udder words, they’re not workin’/laborin’. What’s up wiff dat? Oh well, Happy Labor Day to yous all and enjoy yous day off. Course now dat weez liv in a 24/7 society not evewypawdy got da day off. Maybe they be da ones weez oughtta be celebwatin’. MOL Well meez not gunna write a long winded posty today, but me did wanna shawr sum pawsum fings wiff yous. And no dat dusn’t mean weez got good news, or any news fur dat matter ‘bout da floors in ow pawtment. Not suwe ifin weez kuld pull mommy off da ceilin’ ifin weez had good news ‘bout dat. Yous know hers wuld be way past ‘cited.

Weez also been gettin’ sum boxes of goodys fur mommy fwum sum of ow furiends. And of course lots of them included fun fur us too. Weez got noms and toys and tweats. Weez suwe do purreciate all of yous fur dat. Weez luv ow mommy so vewy much and hers takes pawsum cawe of us and sees to it dat weez got evewyfin’ we need even ifin dat means hers goes wiff out. And hers nevew complains. Dat be what a mommy is and duz. As yous know, mommy nevew had 2 legged childwen, so weez be hers only childwen.
And member when me told yous weez wuld be writin’ wegulaw fur The Daily Mews? Well ow first awticle as wegulaws is out. Don’t fur get to go and check it out and subscwibe so yous not miss an issue. It’s completely fwee and there’s a little sumfin’ fur evewypawdy. There’s even an occasional contest or two. So purrlease giv it a look see. Paw da foto to go to da home page of The Daily Mews, and paw da word “awticle” above to be twansported to ow posty there.
One mowe little fing. Weez been gettin’ lots of questions ‘bout how Lexi and me be duin’ in da middle of all da chaos. First let me say Fank yous fur yous concern. Weez purrawly handlin’ it much better than mommy. You see, bein’ Service cats weez kinda used to a little chaos. And mommy also we-awwanges da house (da fings hers can safely move) evew so offen so weez get used to change. And of course we go out wiff mommy and get exposed to all kinds of fings and smells and peeps.
We awe a little stir cwazy cuz ow house wuz packed up so tight weez didn’t hav room to get wound, but havin’ boxes evewywhere dusn’t fweak us out. And all of ow toys wuz packed away cuz mommy fawt it wuz just posed to be fur dat one day. But mommy has unpacked a lot of stuff, taken out most of ow toys and given us a foo to play wiff. And weez got sum new ones fwu da mail dat mommy lets us hav, so weez playin’ again. Da smell isn’t gweat and da wet isn’t gweat, but we awe managin’.
Mommy on da udder hand, worries ‘bout us and gettin’ sick and wantin’ all ow stuff put away where it belongs. Cuz altho’ weez okay wiff it all mommy finks weez wuld all be better off once fings go back to normal fur us. Altho’ da only move meez evew made wuz fwum da yucky bweeder to mommy’s house (me wuz dopted da same day we wuz wescued), sis Lexi has moved a lot in hers lifetime and sez mommy wuldn’t go anywhere wiff out us. So me is takin’ sum of meez cues fwum her. All da boxes not bodder sis Lexi so there’s no weason fur them to upset me. And me is a cat after all. And as such me luvs boxes.
As fur da motel they’re talkin’ ‘bout puttin’ us up in, since we awe used to change, so long as mommy be there, we awe okay wiff dat too. Weez won’t lie and say weez walk wight into da room and own it, but it only takes a kupple hours and weez awe okay and actin’ like weez at home. So, fur all of yous wunnewin’ out there, weez okay, but fanks fur yous purrayers. Mommy can suwe nuff use them cuz hers not okay wiff any of this, and hers be fed up!!!
So, here’s to a Funday Munday hope yous plannin’ sumfin’ gweat.

Ifin all goes well then mommy shuld be seein’ gweat Tuesday. So weez purrayin’ and cwossin” ow paws fur it tu go well.
Anyways, me told yous weez had mowe good news and fings tu share wiff yous. Weez wuz asked tu write ’bout a normal day in our lives fur an online magazine/newsletter called The Daily Mews. Da awticle itself is called A Day in the Life of Service Cats Alexandra and Deztinee. Da story wuz told fwu ow eyes and narrated by sis Lexi in hooman speak. So ifin yous hav twubble wiff da kitty speak but wunnewed ’bout what weez did fur mommy then this is yous chance tu wead a bit of ow story. 🙂 Dis is just da first of more articles tu come by us. Weez suwe du hope yous enjoy weadin’ ow story, and don’t furget tu subscwibe while yous there. The Daily Mews is full of infurmative, funny and heart warming storys. 🙂
A while back meez asked yous all tu vote fur me in da Snap Yeti Purretty Kitty contest. There be 5 days left tu vote. So ifin yous haven’t voted, purrlease head on ovew now and paw/click da “admire” button and cast yous vote. When da votiin’ is ovew Bergen (da sponsor) will handpick da winner fwum da top 10 kitties. Meez be in da top 10 fanks tu all of yous. 🙂 And in da mean time weez got an email fwum a company called Pet Komp. Tu be honest meez finks it wuz posed tu go in ow spam folder, MOL but it didn’t, and mommy went tu check it out. Well it be a site dat holds Pet of the munff contests wiff cash purrizes awarded tu da winners. Wiff evewfin’ dat be goin’ on mommy decided fur suwe tu enter me. So purrleasee head over and vote fur me tu win Pet of da Munff fur August.
And da last bit of good news fur tuday……Weez just ’bout tu get all caught up!!! WooHoo!!! Now afur yous go and ask, altho’ meez had sed no bad news in ow nex posty; meez knows yus all wanna know ‘but da lease and cawpet. So weez will make this quick and just say dat da manager claimed tu not hav mommys paperwork fwum da home office so hers didn’t get tu sign da lease. Even tho’ da management companies 10 days tu mke a decision (as if they kuld decide anyfin’ udder than tu wenew ow lease) wuz up and they had sent no wesponse, weez didn’t get da lease signed. But is not cuz weez wuzn’t weady or willin’. So they awe da ones in bweach. And mommy had da manager write a note stating why we kuldn’t sign it. As fur da cawppet, they wanted mommy tu move all hers furniture so they kuld “du it wight.” Weez not suwe what they mean by dat, and NO mommy’s not movin’ hers furniture. Specially since weez did nuffin’ tu cause this flood. So weez still kinda in a holdin’ pattewn. And da lawyer til mommy tu take a witness and pay hers went on Munday (or at least twy).
