Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. (Raena looks around. Seeing something flutter by the door she runs to the small perch to look out while meowing) Well sissy, we’ve furinally joined this century and got our very own smarty pants fone. Mommy said since it was gonna cost the same as what she pays fur a dumb fone we might as well get a smart one.
Was there any ketches Raena? You know humans luv to trick ya’ with things that sound too good to be true.
You’re right ‘bout that sissy. Seems there was one ketch, she had to pay some kind’a activation fee. The fone was furee and the service is the same as always, but they did want money to turn the thing on. Now ifin mommy can only learn to use it.
(Something flutters by the front door catching Dezi and Raena’s attention) What was that? Did you see that Raena? Mommy, there’s somethin’ on that silly alarm outside. (Dezi and Raena chatter wildly until mommy A gets up and looks outside. Seeing a bird’s nest on the alarm box on the wall outside the front door, mommy tells the girls that they were seeing the mommy bird taking care of her babies.) Really mommy? Do ya’ reckon it’s the same birdy from last year?
I don’t know sweety, maybe.
I’s wanna see the baby birds mommy. Will you hold me up there so I’s can see ‘em?
No Raena, I don’t think the momma bird would be too happy about that. You don’t want to scare her off so she leaves her babies alone, do you?
No, I’s guess not mommy. Ya’ know, our furiends might be wonderin’ just what kind of alarm box we’ve got out there. Since these ‘pawrtments are fur the disabled and elderly, they put a red light and a really noisy alarm on the wall right by the door. It’s s’posed to be fur emergencies. There’s a string in the bathroom and one in the bedroom that cause the alarm to go off when they’re pulled. The alarm isn’t actually connected to any kind’a emergency help, so all it does is go off, give everypawdy a migraine and start the busy bodies to gossipin’.
Yep Raena, one of the furst Service Cat lessons we learn is not to play with the strings. Mommy says she doesn’t want all the nosy neighbors comin’ in our house. It’s not like any of them could actually help mommy. Befur you were born peeps alarms used to go off all the time. They’d be cleanin’ their pawrtments and pull the chain by accident. Mommy says that’s why they’re not attached to any emergency system. Ifin they were, the pawlice, fire depawrtment and ambulance would be here all the time fur false alarms.
Really sissy? I’s can only ‘member hearin’ one of those alarms since I’s been here. It fur sure was loud and annoyin’. I’s bet it would really scare that poor birdy up there.
You’re purrobably right Raena. Let’s not find out, okay? Who knows, there might be lots more birdies with nests full of babies that we haven’t seen. We used to have a neighbor who put bird houses all over her patio. Once she moved, those birdies had nowhere to go anymore. Me bets they chose our purrch fur their nests cuz they knew we’re nice and won’t try to hurt ‘em or shoo ‘em off. Me can’t wait till the baby birdies start learnin’ to fly. Me ‘members those birdies from last year made quite a raucous when they left the nest.
You’re right ‘bout that, sissy. Fur such tiny creatures, they sure can make a lot of noise.
And they’re messy too Raena. They don’t seem to care where they poop. Ya’ gotta be careful or they just might poop on you. Dirty little critters. It’s no wonder the Trout Towne Tabbies don’t like birdies.
MOL That’s a good one sissy. All I’s can meow is that no birdy better poop on me. Ifin they try, we’ll be havin’ ‘em fur dinner.
Hmmmpht Now that’s a good one Raena. Like you could actually ketch a birdy. MOL Me ‘members what you did the furst time you saw a rabbit. Our natural prey and you wanted to play with it.
Oh sissy, he was so cute. Unfurtunately, he wasn’t the least bit innerested in playin’ with me. I’s never could figure out why? Anyways, we better wrap it up; we’ve got one of those inspections tomorrow, so mommy’s gotta do some cleanin’. Let’s go finish brekky and see how we can help.
Till the next time………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

The birds on the alarm should be removed before the alarm goes off as it will more than scare them it may kill them. OOf course, the alarm may never go off. That’s the chance you take. A very busy time for your mom with her smart phone. Mom still has just a cell phone. Dad has the smart phone and is forever fiddling with it.

Oh how exciting! You have baby birdies to watch! We haven’t seen any the mockingbird who usually builds a nest in the tree by the kitchen window but we are keeping our hopes up it is fun to watch the mom and dad bringing food back for the little ones. We haven’t seen any baby owls, but the big owls are sure being noisy at night. They are some very scary birds with big claws and dad says they can even hurt puppies and kittens.
Spring is finally coming to Florida, and we are getting lots of April Showers. I hope that means we’ll have lots of May flowers.

I was always against getting a smart-phone until I got one. Now I am like a kid using it for all kinds of stuff imaginable! The alarm on the outside of the house sounds like a good idea to me, but only if used in a REAL emergency! We don’t eat rabbits, or even eat rabbit cat food. We had a rabbit pet a long time ago. I would not like to think of him as food.

Mommy’s still not so sure ’bout this smarty pants fone, but she’s tryin’ to figger it all out. She said she can’t believe there’s no instructions. Like everypawdy oughtta know how to use ’em or somethin’. MOL Mommy had a rabbit when she was a kid. Her name was Ginny. But just like mommy likes to eat cows and they were meant to be food, she knows rabbits are meant to be food fur us. And we do luvs us some rabbit. But, to each his own we meow. big hugs

Good luck with this project! I finally managed to text something legible after I got a stylus… after that success (last summer) I’ve successfully ignored that texting feature, but know that a lot of others swear by it…. Truth be told, I’m more likely to swear at drivers who are trying to text and drive.
