Meowllo and welcome to a very Blest Sunday. Of course every Sunday is very blest to us, but mommy’s so happy and purroud today dat she said this isn’t just any Blest Sunday. Now you all know dat we feel so blest to have all of you in our lives. We could have never ‘magined havin’ so many wonderful furiends. Thank you sooooooo much fur bein’ you. Me knows, you want me to get to da mommy happy and purroud pawrt don’t ya’?
Well as ya’ know this is Independence Day weekend here in da U.S.. And Americans just can’t help but wanna set off fireworks, even tho’ they be illegal within da city/town limits. And of course da town has to have a big celebration where they set off huge fireworks dat make a lot of noise. As most of ya’ know from years past, me takes this oppurrtunity to hide under anywhere me can get to. It makes mommy sad dat me does this, but it’s just da way it is. Well this is Raena’s furst year fur fireworks, and mommy had no idea how she would handle it. Of course mommy hopes dat Raena will ignore things like firewoks and thunder storms and all loud scary noises. Well, on furiday night da neighbors set off a few dat sounded mostly like a car backfire, so to mommy’s surprise me ignored them and so did Raena. But last night was da real test.
Yep, last night da town put on it’s big fireworks show. We live a couple miles from da place they set them off, but they were loud enuff fur us to hear them through da closed doors and windows. And da flashes of colored lights could be seen through our mini blinds. When they started da show Raena had been sleepin’ up on da cat tree and me had been getting a drink from da fountain on da bathroom vanity. One loud boom. Two loud booms and Raena’s head pawpped up. Mommy held her breath as she told Raena dat everythin’ was alright. Third loud boom and…Raena put her head back down and went to sleep. Mommy let out dat breath she was holdin’ and suddenly me appeared. Mommy took another deep breath and held it. Me peeked ‘round da corner of da table sittin’ by her chair and then up at Raena. Fourth big boom and me held me’s ground all da while starin’ at Raena. Hmmmmmmm She ain’t payin’ any attention to dat noise me thought. And, she seems just fine. So me went over to mommy fur a little luvvin’ and to let her know she could breathe again. And then me settled in and started playin’. Yep, sure ‘nuff, me played ‘stead of hidin’ out fur da whole hour of noisy fireworks. Mommy is sooooooo purroud of me…and Raena too of course.
But, it didn’t stop there. Later last night, we had a thunderstorm. Yep, all dat gun powder shot in da skies caused it to rain. Mommy says dat’s not why, but you can’t prove it by me. Anyways, we had a big ole thunderstorm, and Raena and me both slept right through it. Mommy’s so purroud and happy today dat we both got treats befur brekky. Treats befur brekky!!! We never get treats befur brekky, but we did this meownin’.
Don’t furget how well I take mines medicine sis Dezi.
Uh, yeah, thanks fur remindin’ me Raena. As you can see in da fotos, Raena’s eyes and nose are still givin’ her some purroblems, so she’s takin’ this yucky sticky medicine to clear it up; and mommy says dat Raena’s a real champ and takes her medicine without any fights or arguments. So it’s a very Blest Sunday indeed. And we wanna fank awnty Anonymous fur da green papers to pay fur Raena’s VET visit. Mommy believes all kittens, puppies and other baby animals should get their baby core vaccinations. Beyond dat, is up to you and your VET and maybe da law. So dat means we have recurring visits fur Raena every 3 weeks. She has 2 more visits befur she’ll be thru, and then she’ll need a spay around October when she’s 6 months old. Mommy doesn’t like to do them any younger.
Anyways, me’s gonna wrap it up fur today. We wanna pawlogize fur not commentin’ much this weekend. Mommy’s had a really bad pain in her lower back dat sends a sharp shooting pain thru her body everytime she leans furward to type. So we’s been visitin’ and readin’, we just didn’t do much commentin’. Hopefully she’ll feel better soon. We’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Sis Raena got a few lap selfies as you can see, so she wanted to join up and show off. Me’s selfie was taken last night after da fireworks. Me’s chillaxin’ and doesn’t have a care in da world. ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da many blessings in your life.
That is wonderful news- Raena taught you not to be afraid. 🙂 I am sorry she is still a little sick and that your Mommy’s back is bothering her. I will be praying for them. I hope you don’t get any storms or fireworks tonight. Our neighbors did some last night so I shut the windows and everyone was fine. XO
Fanks awnty Ellen. Me couldn’t let da baby show me up. MOL We hope da fireworks will be over soon. Da stands shut down in a few days, so lessen somepawdy just had lots of green papers they should only bother us fur another week or so.
What adorable photos. Demi, we think when you saw Raena being brave, you didn’t want her to upstage you. Whatever the reason, congratulations to both of you. The firework boomers have been going off since yesterday afternoon. Mom about jumps out of her skin everytime one goes off. We have all vacated the catio ’cause it is so loud. They don’t bother us if we are in the house. Thanks for hopping. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Caista Jo

I’m proud of you both, too! Facing fears is a very brave thing to do. I think FDR was the one who said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” Now that you’re learning to conquer that, you can do anything.
We’ve been having fireworks since Friday, and while we don’t care to watch them we have kind of learned that they aren’t going to hurt us. We do like to sit very close to mom and dad when they are being set off, kind of like we do when there is a bad thunderstorm. My sister Talley is the exception, She like to sit in the window and watch the colorful lights in the sky. Dad is smoking ribs and chicken in the smoker, for dinner tonight and the kids and grand kids are coming over. Little Evan is coming over. He is turning two years old next Friday, and he loves kitties. His mom speaks French to him and he speaks both English and French. As soon as he comes in the house he looks for me. (The girls don’t quite trust him enough to play with him yet, but I have found that he is very gentle, so I let him pet me. He lays down on the floor by me and kisses the top of my head. He says. “Bissou Pete” (Kiss Pete) then he Pets me so softly I can hardly feel it. Dad says that Evan is going to grow up to be a very good human because he loves animals and is kind to them. One of our greatest Blessings are the grand kids, both of whom are gentle and kind.
Well, I wish you Raena and your Mom a Happy and safe 4th of July.
Of course we are very Blest to have you as our friends.
Purrs and Hugs
MeeeOW Pete sounds like ya’ll are gonna have a wunnerful time. Mommy’s mouth started waterin’ when she saw ribs, so have one fur her. Stay safe and have fun.
