Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. What a pawsum pawrty we had here over the weekend. Celebratin’ milestones such as Blogoversaries can be so much fun. I’s didn’t google it, so I’s don’t know the real nummers, but hundreds of blogs are started each year, and only a few actually keep goin’. So, a Blogoversary really is a purretty big deal.
You’re right Raena. Now, let’s get to some fun today. Ya’ know, those 18 Purrfectly Amazing Facts About Us game we played. Several of ya’ played along and made your guesses. We really luvved seein’ your answers. Now, let’s see what our answers are and see who got the most answers right.
18 Purrfectly Amazing Facts

Raena: I’s agree sissy, I’s luvs the way mommy smells.
2. Last time I hissed: Dezi: This meownin’ when Raena fell off the side of the tub and landed on me.
Raena: I’s don’t do a lot of hissin’, but, I’s did hiss last week when the sleet hit mine’s stroller. Mommy says I’s was a little scared. I’s meow that I’s was just makin’ sure the sleet knew I’s was the boss.
3. Favorite pizza: Dezi: Me thought everypawdy would get this one. But me got to thinkin’ ya’ll may actually think we’re kiddin’ and that pepperoni pizza be mommy’s favorite food and not ours. But nuffin’ could be further from the truth. Mommy’s fave food is a nice steak, baked tater and yeasty roll.
Rana: Sure ‘nuff sissy. One of our favorite human foods is pepperoni pizza. We don’t get it very offen, but we do luvs it. Mommy doesn’t get her favorite food either. MOL
4. Favorite Flower: Me luvs roses and nip flowers.

5. Favorite dog breed: Dezi: Me’s BlogPaws ‘sperience kind’a made me not care fur doggies in general. But, me does luv our sweet furiend Da Phenny the Weimaraner.
Raena: I’s luvs Phenny too, sissy. I’s not really met many doggies, so I’s can’t really meow much on this question.
6. Favorite ice cream: Baskin Robbins white chocolate and regular chocolate.
Raena: What’s Baskin Robbins, sissy? I’s never had any of that.
Dezi: That’s cuz we don’t have one anywhere near us. Our local grocery store used to carry them and when he clearanced them out, mommy bought every last one. It’s her favorite too.
7. Pet peeve: Dezi: Peeps that throw out or return beluvved furry family members when they’re inconvenient. Declawin’ kitties, Irrespawnsible pet owners, peeps that won’t spay or neuter, ‘specially their non pedigreed anipals, and…so many more. (Mommy A waves for Dezi to get down off her soap box and continue answering the questions.)
Raena: Ooooh sissy, all those things bother me too.
8. Shorts or jeans: Dezi: Neither, me has bloomers
Raena: Mine’s bloomers are longer and fluffier than yours, sissy. (Dezi shakes her head)
9. Color of your PTU: Dezi: Well, we have a stroller, and it’s blue.
Raena: Mommy says I’s broke it sissy. She’s gonna try to get us a new one soon. I’s want animal purrint, how ’bout you?
10. Color of your eyes: Dezi: Blue of course. Mommy says me’s eyes remind her of a blue diamond.

11. Favorite food: Dezi: Rabbit!!! Me luvs me some Rabbit.

13. Favorite Holiday: Dezi: Christmas, me’s Birthday, me’s Gotchaday, me’s…

16. Do you have a nick name: Dezi: Me has lots of nicknames, mommy calls me her blue eyed angel, baby bear, angel, sweetheart, luv bug, muffin, darlin’, baby…
Raena: We get it sissy. I’s have lots of the same nicknames, includin’ punkin’, baby girl, punkin’ pie, Rayhahnan, RB and Belle.
17. Favorite music: Dezi: Me luvs when mommy sings to me. Me also luvs country gospel.
Raena: Me too sissy. I’s luvs the songs mommy makes up and sings to us.
18. Tattoos: Dezi: Sis Lexi had a tattoo, so me wanted one too. But, mommy said they don’t do that any more.
Raena: I’s never seen a tattoo, but I’s know mommy wants one of all her angel babies.
We really luvs doin’ these, so we hope CK keeps it up. As sissy meowed earlier, several of ya’ played along. Valentine got 3 out of 5 right, awnty Ellen got 2 out of 2, Travis was spot on that our eyes are blue, sweet Annie got 3 of 4 and sweet Katie got 2 of 4. Since we’re all inclusive kitties, and we could never choose one furiend over another, we had mommy make all of you this great badge. Whether you played along or not, you can put it on your sidebar ifin ya’ want, or just take it and know that we think you’re all the bestest furiends in the universe.
Fanks mommy fur makin’ the pawsum badge fur us. Befur we wrap it up today, we’d like to take a minute to recognize that today is World Spay Day. Spaying your pet isn’t just ‘bout ending unwanted pregnancies that contribute to pet overpopulation. It’s also ‘bout the health of your pets. Spaying your female anipals helps to minimize the risk of mammary cancer, uterine cancer, inappropriate spraying/marking and aids your pets’ overall health. Contrary to old beliefs, spaying doesn’t make your pet lazy or become overweight. Ifin that happens, that’s on the humans. Spayed felines can and will hunt, play and do everything they did befur with the exception of reproducing. So purrlease, spay or neuter your pets. Even we have a low cost spay/neuter clinic, so check with your local shelter fur one in your area.
That’s a pawsum reminder, sissy. Mommy isn’t a fan of altering animals at a really young age, but she’s fur sure all ‘bout alterin’. We’ve both been spayed. It wasn’t mine’s favorite day, but I’s much healthier and happier cuz of it. We’re gonna wrap it up now. See you all soon.
Till the next time……………………………………………Be Blest!!!

What age should the kitty or doggy be altered. I’m sure that shelters have their reasons to do it very young (mostly to make sure it gets done!). But we have some blogging pals that say their girl puppy or kitty should go through 2 heat periods before they get spayed. It seems unnecessary to me to make them go through that kind of torture to want to mate so badly and have to put diapers on them too. Why do they want to do this? I’ve had cats in heat – 3 girls and two unneutered p

To continue… I also had two intact boys. One of them were happy and I ended up with 3 mommas and 13 kilns for a total of 18 cat (
Continuing: I also had 2 intact males and one neutered male. One of the girls was momma to the other two. I ended up itch 13 cats and found homes for all but the original 5. Those I got fixed. I had just lost a baby and my instincts said I still wanted to be a mommy.
Anyway, none of those cats were happy during the heat period. Howling and yowling and I couldn’t keep them in or put them out because it was all in the family. Never again will I subject my furkibs to this.
So why are peeps waiting for one or two cycles to get them spayed or neutered?

We can’t wait to hear it. I never would’ve thought that they should have a couple of heat cycles. Maybe it has to do with their hormones. But I am not in agreement.
First off:
If you have a male cat and he learns to spray, it’s pretty hard to make them stop when they get neutered. It’s a learned behavior as well as instinctual.
Then, a female cat is definitely miserable – howling and moaning and I have heard of some cats where their spaying didn’t really take until the second or third surgery. Just ask Mark about Ayla at Marks Mews.

Third (oops – because my stylus is poking rapidly to reply — I hit send too soon on accident). How painful must it be for these poor male and female kitties to have such strong urges and want/need to satisfy them. This I have witnessed in my past kitties. Lots of yowling, crying, jumping on each other, etc.
The only way I would let my young pets go through this again is if they were given something to alleviate the pain and anxiety they must feel. This is so much like a drug addiction. They should not have to ache for what they need for days and days that their body says they should need.
In short, I believe that they should not have to go into heat because it is torture to them or they should be prescribed hormones so they won’t want it so much.

Puberty isn’t as painful as kitties make it sound. They really don’t need pain meds or anythin’ like that. But, they also don’t have need to experience it at all. Big hugs

I disagree. They may not be in pain but they are definitely in strong angst and discomfort and are in deep need of making those urges go away. This can be as bad as pain. If you have been around girl kitties rolling on the floor, yowling and aching, you would know it’s hard to deal with. It’s kind of like a drug addict going through withdrawals. Some ant- anxiety medication would help but why make them go through it at all? If you aren’t going to have them make babies, just spay and neuter them as soon as it’s feasible.
