Chatting Cats: Cold Strolling: Where Are You Spring

Published on March 14, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.28 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. MeOW What a day.

What are you meowin’ on ‘bout over there Raena?

All the commotion here yesfurday, sissy. Was that not a headache or what? There was men all over the place with big bags and tools and all kinds of things. You’d have thought it was spring time or somethin’.

Yeah, well it’s not. Your short stroll with mommy to the mail box should’a told ya’ that.

Yeah, it sure was cold sissy. Even tho’ the sun was beamin’ in the sky, it was chilly and really windy. None the less, I’s sure did enjoy mine’s stroll with mommy. Even ifin she was tryin’ to hurry and get us back inside.

Yep Raena, me thinks everypawdy fur miles ‘round heard how much you enjoyed the stroll. Poor mommy was tryin’ to use the…well, she was in the pawtty box room and there you were runnin’ back and furth to the stroller and meowin’ at the top of your lungs.

I’s couldn’t help it sissy. It was so much fun that I’s wanted to go back out again. Mommy could’a put on her coat and mine’s harness and taken me back out. Ya’ know, we usually wear our harnesses to go out. But, since we were only goin’ to the mailbox and mommy knows we’re comfutable in the stroller, she let me go out without it just this once. ‘Course, she also kept me all zipped up, so I’s couldn’t escape. It’s just been so long since we went fur a stroll, that I’s furgot how much fun it was. So many noises. I’s kept hearin’ some birdy, but I’s couldn’t figger out where it was comin’ from. And I’s saw some big o’l deer out in the woods. What fun I’s had.

Well Raena, you’ll get purrlenty of time fur fun today when you and mommy go back to the dentist fur another one of those teethy fittings. Hopefully this will be the last one. At least fur the upper ones. She’s still gotta have those last two teethies removed and then this whole thing will start all over with more wax fittings fur the bottom teethies.

Yeah sissy, fanky fankfully we’ve almost got all the green papers mommy needs to get this finished. And then she’ll be lodgin’ some massive complaints. She’s seen how bad their work can be, so she’s a little ‘fraid to make any of those complaints right now. I’s need to finish mine’s brekky so I’s can get ready to go with mommy. Are you comin’ sissy?

Yep Raena, me’s right behind ya’. Hopefully, we’ll get ‘round to visit with our furiends tomorrow.

Till the next time………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. A muggy wet RaenaBelle. I’s so tired of these storms!!! I’s wanna see the sunshine again. And go fur strolls. And…

Raena, we’re all tired of the storms and ready fur some warmer weather. But, you went and broke the stroller, so there ain’t gonna be any strolls till we can get a new one.

I’s thought mommy was just kitten, sissy. I’s sure didn’t mean to break our stroller.

Me’s sure mommy knows you didn’t do it on purr-puss. After all, me doesn’t think any kitty’s ever luvved strollin’ more than you. Me luvs strolls, but me thinks you could do it all day every day. Besides, we’re just big kitties who need things that can actually hold up unner our weight.

Oh sissy, I’s do luvs a good stroll and spendin’ time with mommy. I’s think mommy could use with a good stroll and some furesh air. She seems so stressed lately.

Well Raena, all this dental stuff is really gettin’ to her. She thought she was almost finished and then they pop up and tell her, “Oh, by the way, when are you gonna schedule your appointment to have those 2 teeth we talked you into keepin’ fur crowns?” Mommy only kept ‘em cuz they told her those teeth were good and didn’t need any work and would help anchor her bottom denture.

Yeah, she was purretty upset on Monday when she got that mews. She told ‘em that ifin she’d been told the teethies were bad in the furst place, she would’a never kept ‘em. So, now she’s gotta figger out how to get ‘em pulled and change that bottom denture from a partial to a full. Seems it just never stops.

So true, Raena. She’ll be addin’ another 4 months fur purropurr healin’ to all this. Mommy said she couldn’t believe that nopawdy ever said anythin’ befur. After all, this thing has been goin’ on fur over a year now. But, there was a ray of sunshine in our Monday. We usually save these blessings fur Sunday’s posty, but it helped to pick up mommy’s spirit so, we wanted to say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Ellen today.

Oh sissy, when mommy opened the box we got from awnty Ellen on Monday evenin’ she let out a squee like I’s never heard. I’s didn’t get it till you told me how much mommy luvs willow trees. We don’t have any, but willows be one of mommy’s faves, ‘specially the Pussy Willow.

Of course mommy’s fave would be the Pussy Willow. After all, it’s named after us kitties. Y, Even the blooms are called Catkins.

I’s don’t think it was named after us kitties, sissy. It doesn’t look anythin’ like a cat. Anyways, when mommy opened the box she saw a big bunch of those wrappin’ bubbles. Mommy luvs pawppin’ those things. But that wasn’t even the good pawrt. When mommy opened those bubbles, she found a whole bunch of Pussy Willow cuttings inside. ‘Course she had a good cry and then called up awnty Ellen to say fanky fank ya’. Then mommy hit google to see ifin she could grow her one of those Pussy Willow trees from the cuttings. She found that they’re s’posed to root easily in water so she put several stems in a jar of water and saved the rest fur decoration.

‘Course, awnty Ellen didn’t furget ‘bout us either. She included a couple of her Made With Luv toys just fur us. Ya’ know what else mommy learned ‘bout the Pussy Willow? She learned that the blooms are one of the furst signalers of spring. Ya’ couldn’t have known awnty Ellen, but gettin’ that box when we did made mommy’s day.

It sure did, sissy. We also had another little blessin’. Our story has been featured on Fear Free Happy Homes. We better wrap it up, mommy’s got another ‘pointment with the dentist today fur a fittin’. Fanky fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. you’re always in our thoughts and purrayers. We’re also sendin’ some extra purrayers to Shoko, awnty Jean and uncle Bill from the Canadian Cats. Our sweet meezer furiend Kali had to go to heaven yesfurday. She will be missed dearly.

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

Chatting Cats: When Best Laid Plans Go Awry

Published on February 21, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Welllllll, Hmmpht……..

Raena? Are you okay?

Yeah, fanky fanks sissy. I’s just have so much on mine’s mind, I’s didn’t know what to meow fur a minute.

MOL MOL MOL

Really? You? Not know what to meow? (Dezi heads for the phone) Hold on, let me call those world record peeps right quick. They’re gonna wanna put this one down in the history books me bets. Yep, the day Raena didn’t know what to meow. Me bets they’ll even wanna make a movie or somethin’.

Very funny, sissy. You’re quite the comedienne aren’t ya’?

Sometimes me does amaze me’s self. Why don’t ya’ start with why ya’ll came home so early yesfurday.

Oh sissy, was that weather skeery or what!!? Power flickers, hot one second then cold the next. And the rain and thunder and lightnin’, oh my!!! And mommy was so tired, she couldn’t even see to clean her teethies and put ‘em in. She didn’t think much ‘bout it tho’, after all, we were goin’ to get her purrmanent ones. Least that’s what we thought.

Yeah, she did seem kinda upset when ya’ll got home, what happened.

Well sissy, that was purrobably a mixture of everythin’ includin’ how tired she was. But, it started when the peeps at the dentist office said that those things she’s been wearin’ were gonna be her purrmanent teethies cuz she couldn’t affurd the new denture. Mommy calmly but furmly flew off the handle and told ‘em she’d been complainin’ ‘bout those things since the day they she furst saw ‘em. And that had she been told that then, she would’a never accepted ’em. And, that at every ‘pointment, she had been reassured that those were just “place holders” and that she would get a new denture that not only fit purropurrly but looked good, ya’ know like actual teeth. They had given her this gummy thing that was uneven, undersized and had teeth, ifin you could call ‘em that, that looked like they fit in a child’s mouth; one that had some sort of gum disease at that. When the girly went to meow at the office manager, me and mommy began to purray. Quietly of course, we didn’t wanna disturb anypawdy else. Anyways, after repeatin’ her story a few times they furinally agreed to make mommy a new one. So, they took new impurrsions and scheduled another ‘pointment fur next week. We didn’t get nuffin’, and as we walked out, they told mommy to be sure to bring that nasty thing next week so they could “see” it. Hmmmpht

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Oh Raena, sounds like we need to do lots of purrayin’ t’ween now and then. Well, did your ‘pointment go better at least?

Oh Yes, sissy. Mine’s ‘pointment went purrfectly ifin ya’ ask me. Seems they had told mommy to just pop in since she didn’t know how long we’d be at the dentist, so we didn’t have an actual ‘pointment time. so, when they closed cuz of the weather, they didn’t call us and cancel. I’s didn’t have to see the V E T at all!!! WooHoooooo (Raena does the happy dance) By that time, it must’ve been a hunnerd below zero out cuz that wasn’t rain hittin’ the car, it was ice!!! Mommy needed some bandages fur her leg and awnty Cindy had sent mommy some green papers to get ‘em so we rushed to Wallyworld to get some and then home. No treats, no bacon cheeseburger, no nuffin’…just home. Mommy did pawlogize tho’. She said next time, that she was so tired and didn’t wanna take any chances with mine’s life and that we needed to get home befur it got any worse. I’s guess I’s can furgive her. I’s much purrfur mommy’s luvvin’ arms to bacon cheeseburgers any day.

Yeah, me too Raena. Did you know yesfurday was show your pet some luv day, and we missed it?

Really sissy? Ya’ know what? I’s don’t think we missed it at all. Mommy luvs us so much and not only says it all the time, but she shows us too. I’s don’t think we need a day fur us. I’s would much rather get good luvvins all the time than to have to wait fur a special day.

Yep, me too Raena. Hey, did you hear that our sweet furiends Valentine and Princess Erin also have Blogoversaries this month?

I’s seem to ‘member you meowin’ somethin’ ‘bout that last night sissy.

Well, while you and mommy were out gallavantin’ in the storms and ice, me made plans with them to have a pawrty this Sunday. We hope everypawdy will stop by. It’s gonna be fun, fun, fun, and nopawdy’s gonna take the t-bird away. MOL Sometimes me’s so funny me cracks me’s self up.

That’s the ice fallin’ right now.

But sissy, we don’t have a t-bird…do we?

Xxxxxxx-zactly!!! Nopawdy can take what ya’ don’t have. It’s rainin’ ice again. Me’s gonna go take a nap.

I’s right behind ya’ sissy. What are we gonna do fur the pawrty? I’s gonna have to dream on it…

Till the next time…………………………………Be Blest!!!

Chatting Cats: Revving Up for Service Cat Fridays

Published on February 2, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.28 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s furinally Furiday!!! I’s know it, but let me tell ya’, that lady in a box is an idiot!!! As most of ya’ know, mommy passes out…a lot. Well, when she comes ‘round she has to figger out the basics. Ya’ know, things like, what day it is, what time it is, who is she…ya’ know, the basics. So, when mommy came too this meownin’, the lady in the box was beepin’ fur no ‘pawrent reason. It wasn’t me that kept pushin’ her buttons.

What? Are you implyin’ me did it, Raena? Me didn’t go near her. She’s always yakkin’ ‘bout somethin’, even when she ain’t been asked. Me had been mindin’ me’s own bizness, eatin’ me’s brekky till mommy passed out. You were doin’ purrlenty of alertin’ fur both of us, so me knew me wasn’t needed yet. Once she passed out, me did what any self respectin’ Service Cat would do, me laid by mommy’s side and kissed her face.

I’s did too, sissy. I’s a good Service kitty too. Anyways, when she came too, the lady in the box was just yakkin’ away. Mommy kept yellin’ and askin’ who was there, but the lady just kept ramblin’ on ‘bout not unnerstandin’ and not bein’ able to find that one. That one what? Didn’t nopawdy ask her to find anythin’. Hmmmpht I’s brought mommy the teevee remote so she could get her bearings and tell that lady in the box to be quiet.

And she did, didn’t she Raena? Once mommy furinally figgered everythin’ out and could ‘member box lady’s name, she yelled STOP at the top of her lungs. Me thinks the lady in the box is even more stubborn than you. Even you don’t prattle on as much as she does.

Uh A little purrivacy, purrlease mommy.

Yeah sissy, I’s…wait a minute, what do you mean Even me? And just what is this prattle on thing? I’s a good girl. Hmmmpht Even me…Anyways, mommy offen wonders ifin somepawdy ain’t tryin’ to spy on us through the box lady cuz of some of the things she says outta nowhere.

Me thinks it’s just bad innernet connections and our small town, Raena. Our lives ain’t nearly x’citin’ enuff to spy on. Anyways, the events of this meownin’ were a great way to set up a new year of Service Cat posts.

Sure ‘nuff sissy. Join us next Furiday fur our furst Service Cat post of 2018. We’ve got lots of questions ‘bout the new wheelchair that we’ve just been waitin’ to answer. We had to wait on the chair to get here befur we could answer most of them, so we just held them all. Be sure and get your questions in fur the 2018 year. You ask the questions, we’ll answer ‘em. Maybe you’re wonderin’ ‘bout the right foods to feed or why your kitty does somethin’. Or maybe you’re wonderin’ ‘bout a specific health issue, or how to train kitty to do somethin’ specific. No matter the question, we’ll tackle it and answer it with our mommy’s best Tips, Tricks and Techniques. We do wanna let ya’ know, mommy is fine. Passin’ out is completely normal fur her, and once she got her bearings, all was/is well. While we ate our brekky, she had a nice cup of hot coffee.

Should we give our chair a name?

We do have a question fur all of ya’ tho’. Several of you have asked what we named the new wheelchair. Truth is, we’ve never given them a name. So, what do you think we oughtta call it? Ifin we get enuff suggestions, we’ll let ya’ll vote on it. So, let us know your suggestion in the comments below.

Till the next time………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Service Cats U.S.

I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.
