Chatting Cats: Run For Your Life, the Lawn Crew’s Here

(Dezi sits quietly eating her breakfast, while Raena gazes intently out the front door from her perch. Seeing something in the distance, Raena sits up with her ears pointed towards the front at alert. Suddenly, Dezi hears the loud familiar roar of the lawn crew’s terrible and possible cat eating machines.

 

 Dezi jumping over a box and shipping paper

 

Run fur your life Raena!!! They’re here!!!

(Dezi meows as she runs down the hall leaving a half eaten bite on the floor)

 

          (Raena runs after Dezi in a haze and meows)

 

          What?! Why?! Who?! Where?!

          (Raena stops at the end of the hallway at the bedroom door and looks back towards the living room and now closed front door. Raena hears a familiar voice piercing through the commotion of all the loud machines.)

 

 Raena sits on small perch at door

 

     Dezi!!! Raena!!! Girls, come eat your breakfast. I won’t let those stupid lawn men get ya’ll. You’ve got nothin’ to fear. Come on girls, I’ve closed the door. It’s safe. Come and eat your brekky.

 

          (Raena appears first looking puzzled at why the front door is closed. None the less, she moseys over and takes a few bites of her breakfast and rubs against mommy’s legs to get a little loving. Dezi emerges from the bedroom with her fur all in a ruff and paces back and forth in front of her plate and Raena’s.)

 

 Dezi and Raena eat

 

     It’s okay Dezi, You’re safe. I love you darlin’. Just eat your breakfast and ignore those silly men out there in the rain.

 

(Dezi takes a few bites and suddenly hears the sound of the leaf blower on the front porch trying to blow the wet leaves around)

Run fur your life!!!

(Dezi meows as she runs down the hallway again. Again, Raena runs after her, and again, she stops at the end of the hallway at the bedroom door and then looks back at mommy)

 

 Raena on the Liberty Cat Tree

 

          Sissy, all this runnin’ is makin’ mine’s tummy rumble. I’s don’t think mommy’s gonna be very happy ifin I’s chuck mine’s brekky all over the floor. Why are we runnin’ anyways? Those silly men can’t get past mommy. You know how mommy is, she barely cracks the door open when those kind’a peeps come knockin’. And so far, I’s not heard any thunder boomers. So the way I’s see it, is, it’s all good and we should just go and eat. C’mon, let’s go eat.

          (Raena takes a few steps toward the living room and looks back

          Sissy? Are you in there? Are you lissenin’ to me?

 

 Raena sits in hallway

 

 

(Dezi meows from UTB <under the bed>)

Me heard ya’ Raena. You’s go ahead and eat ifin ya’ want. Me’s gonna stay here a little longer. Me thinks me sees somethin’ that requires some more investigatin’. 

 

          (Raena meows excitedly)

          What do ya’ see sissy? Is it another one of those flyin’ yucky bugs like I’s found the other day?

          (Raena runs UTB where Dezi is)

 

(Dezi hisses so loudly mommy can hear it in the living room over all the noisy lawn crew machines and the girls hear a voice from the living room)

 

     Girls, play nice!!! 

 

 Dezi and Raena sitting outside bathroom looking surprised.

 

Sorry mommy. No Raena, me didn’t find a moth. Why are you still here anyways? Me thought you were gonna go eat your brekky?.

 

          I’s was sissy, but you said you found somethin’ and I’s thought you might need mine’s help.

 

Well, me doesn’t. Me’s been doin’ this a lot longer than you have, so me’s sure me can investigate it all by meself.

 

 Raena lays on the Liberty cat tree

 

          Well, okay sissy. But ifin It, whatever It is, gets ya’, don’t say I’s didn’t try to help. I’s gonna go eat mine’s brekky now. I’s don’t hear those noisy machines anymore anyhow. 

          (Raena heads back to the living room to eat her breakfast, and Dezi moves to the bedroom door and lays down looking toward the closed door. Raena meows loudly from the living room)

          Hey Dezi, the lawn crew’s fur sure gone. Mommy says she’s fixin’ to open the door so you can see.

          (Raena starts her head bob and bite over her plate)

 

     (Mommy crawls to the door to open it and sees Dezi at the edge of the bedroom and calls to her)

     C’mon Dezi, it’s okay. They’re gone now, so come eat your brekky. 

 

Me’s comin’ mommy. Me was just keepin’ you safe from the UTB monster. Do you need some help crawlin’ back to the sittin’ lift chair? 

 

     Thank you sweety. I really appreciate you keepin’ me and your sisfur safe. Now you come eat brekky and let me keep you safe darlin’, okay?. I can get to my chair by myself, you just eat.

(Dezi eats a few bites and then heads up the cat tree for a short morning nap)

What a meownin’ we’ve had. Me will never unnerstand those stupid lawn peeps tryin’ to mow durin’ the storms. They sure do make a mess. Fank the cats our little birdies already flew off from their nest on our porch. Me thinks we deserve some treats today.

 

 Cat grass in a tine from Valentine

 

          Treats? Did somepawdy say Treats? I’s want some Treats. How ‘bout our grass? Is that grass Valentine sent us ready yet? Did we get any Treats in that Chewy box the other day?

 

 Dezi sits atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Yep Raena, mommy said our grass is almost ready. Me can’t wait to munch down on a few blades of that tasty green grass. And we did get treats to review this month. Let’s go make “The Face”, so mommy will give us some. And then me’s gonna take another nap. But befur me furgets, we have a winner fur the Animal Hearted Gift Card. A meowsy big ConCats to uncle Pete over at Timmy Tomcat’s bloggy.

 

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

 

Dezi: Vibrant Blue  

Raena: Navy Blue  

Mommy A: Black

 

Luv and Hugs and Kitty Kisses

    1. Mommy says dat would be pawsum. She keeps hopin’ me will follow Raena’s cues as she had hoped me would follow sis Lexi’s, who also wasn’t ‘fraid of nuffin’. But alas…so far, nuffin’. Big hugs

  2. Hello My Friends,
    Lily here. I feel your pain (and panic). The female human has a vacuum monster on each floor of the house and then the male human goes outside and makes a terrible racket. How’s a cat supposed to relax with all those noisy, evil beasts around??? I spend quite a bit of quality time under the comforter in the guest bedroom or downstairs under the sofa. Humans should be more careful about our delicate sensibilities.
    Love, purrs and head bonks,
    Lily

    1. Me so agrees with ya’ Lily. They just don’t unnerstand how loud those things are. We hear so much better than them, so all those noises are really loud. When mommy can, she tries to put me’s harness on, cuz me tends to be less ‘fraid in it. But sometimes it’s stormin’ or da lawn crew gets here befur she knows it and there’s nuffin’ she can do at dat point. Big hugs

      Luv ya’

  4. Dezi and RaenaBelle, I don’t like those loud machines either! Too noisy, and how much pollution are they pumping into our atmosphere? I especially dislike those blower thingies that hose all of the grass clippings back onto the lawn. Too noisy! Stay safe, little ones!

  5. Hi Dezi and Raena Belle, We sure wish we had some of that rain you’re having the big swamp wildfire is still burning and the air is all smoky and smelly. We can’t go into any of the screen rooms to watch the birdies and squirrels because dad says that the smoke isn’t good for us. It’s very hot too, 95 today. Dad worked in the garden for a while (weeding) and he cut lettuce and picked a cucumber to make a salad for him and mom to have tonight. The tomatoes are still green so there won’t be any tomatoes in the salad, but there are carrots and radishes.
    We don’t have a lawn crew, just dad and he always tells us before he starts making noise with the scary machines so we can take shelter in the bedroom. Our neighborhood kitty, Henri is in dad’s work shop with the air conditioning turned on. (He isn’t very happy about being made to stay inside) but dad has told him that it’s for his own good and that when the fire is out and the air clear again he can go back out to visit other neighbors. He is using the litter box in there but he insists that it be cleaned twice a day or he poops on the floor. He is used to having the whole world as a litter box, so he’s pretty demanding. Dad cleans ours every morning and that’s fine with us..
    Be brave Dezi, Your mom won’t let those yard guys any where near you!

    Purrs,
    Pete

    1. Yeah, dat’s excitement we could do without. MOL ‘Course, mommy says as anooyin’ as they are, and as much as it makes her allergies flair, she doesn’t like da bugs and snakes dat hide in tall grass and weeds like we have outside. But our inside grass is pawsum. And it’ll never get tall enuff fur bugs ifin me has anythin’ to do with it. MOL Big hugs

      Luv ya’
