          I’s am nice sissy, I’s always nice. And, I’s not jumpin’ on you, I’s jumpin’ over you. Altho’ at the moment I’s not jumpin’ anywhere, I’s just sittin’ here. You’re the one with your bloomers in a twist. 

 

Dezi in squared pencil filterWe played around in the foto apps this weekend. This

is somethin’ called a squared pencil filter.

 

 

 

Me’s bloomers aren’t in a twist Raena. It’s Blest Sunday and time fur us to count our Blessings. Me will go furst. Pest or no, me’s glad that you’re feelin’ better and that your eyes are healin’ up well. Me’s also fankful fur your plans, you threw me a really great pawrty. Me’s fankful fur all our furiends; me’s pawrty wouldn’t have been the same without ‘em. And me got the cutest card in the snail mail from Valentine…fank you. Me also wants to say a meowsy big Fank you to Princess Erin fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday gift. And of course, me’s always fankful fur mommy. Me’s one Blest kitty girl fur sure.

          We both are sissy. I’s fanky fankfull fur all the luvs, suppurrt and purrayers I’s received durin’ mine’s surgery and now fur mine’s healin’. Mine’s eyes have never felt better; and, mommy says I’s more luvvin’ than ever . I’s can see clearly now and I’s luvvin’ it. I’s enjoyed the pawrty too. And, I’s so grateful fur you and mommy, ya’ll are just the bestest family any kitty could ever want. (Something catches Raena’s eyes outside and she runs to the small perch to see what it is.)  Look’it sissy, a squirrel. He keeps runnin’ back and forth from tree to tree.

He’s purrparin’ fur winter Raena. He’s purrobably tryin’ to collect enuff nuts to keep himself fed when it gets really cold outside. Fank goodness we don’t have to do that. Did you see the bunny that hopped past earlier? 

 

Raena in recursion frameI’s got in on the foto editin’ too. This is somethin’ called a recursion filter.

 

 

 

          I’s missed him sissy. Why didn’t you call me? Ya’ know, ifin mommy would just let us outside, we could’a had fresh rabbit fur Fanksgivin’. 

 

Sure we could Raena…like you know the furst thing ‘bout huntin’ bunny rabbits.

          Well at least we could’a tried sissy. Ya’ never know when ya’ just might get lucky. MOL  Anyways, you know Fanksgivin’ is Fursday, right? That means Christmas is only a few short weeks from now. While visitin’ one of our furiends the other day, we learned of this cool app that will let us gather our furiends info so we can send them Christmas cards. So, we’d like to ask all of you to click here and fill in your info. It’s totally free and private. We’ll be the only ones who can see your infurmation. And of course, we’ll never share your purrsonal info with anyone or use it to annoy you.

 

Another of Raena’s plans, huh? Well, me guesses far as plans go, this one’s purretty good. You just might be purretty good at makin’ plans after all Raena. Me can’t wait fur Christmas. You need to put on that thinkin’ cap of yours and help me come up with a great gift to give mommy.

 

          Now that’s a great plan sissy. Furst tho’, I’s thinkin’ we should post our Gift Guide next week. You know, just in case peeps wanna shop those Black Furiday or Cyber Monday sales to get gifts fur their luvved ones and favorite furries.

Chatting Cats: More Plans Ahead

Published on by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

MeOW RaenaBelle, you really did a great job with me’s carnival pawrty. Me wasn’t sure at furst, but you really do have some good ideas after all. The ice cream truck was a great hit. And everypawdy looked so pawsum in their masks. Me knows you worked really hard purrin’ it all together. ‘Specially since our innernets went out and you had to do it all over the weekend. (Dezi walks over to Raena and head bumps her) Fanks, me will plan you a great pawrty next year.  

 

Raena lays atop cat tree with tongue out

 

 

 

          Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fanks sissy. I’s glad you had a good time and liked your pawrty. It was a lotta work and put us way behind in visitin’ our furiends, but ifin you’re happy, it was worth it. Meowin’ of visitin’ our furiends, we’re slowly but surely gettin’ caught up. However, our comments seem to disappear on some of your bloggy’s includin’ the wordpress ones. Now that might be cuz you’re monitorin’ ‘em, but ifin you’re not and don’t see a comment from us in the next few days, purrlease let us know, so we can try to figger out what’s happenin’. You might wanna check your spam folder furst tho’, we have ended up there in the past. 

 

Dezi lays on floor

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me hates it when we get behind. Fankfully most of our furiends unnerstand. On another note, me’s joinin’ the choir at cat scouts, so mommy’s tryin’ to help me record me’s audition track. And me told her she owed our furiends her rendition of Amazing Grace and at least a couple of country songs that they asked fur last year. Now that she has teeth again, she can form words and sing. So it’s gonna be a little busy ‘round here fur the next couple of weeks.

          I’s just luvs it when mommy sings sissy. ‘Specially when she sings ‘bout us. She makes up the bestest songs ever.

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

Me likes it too Raena. But sometimes, the songs she makes up could use a little work. Ya’ know like when she sings, Dezi, sweet as apple pie? Like, is apple pie even sweet? We don’t even like apples. 

 

          Yeah well, ya’ might have a point there sissy. I’s not sure ‘bout bein’ her punkin’ pie either; but I’s do luvs it when she says we’re purrfect and her purrecious baby girls.

 

Dezi lays on floor

 

 

 

Me kind’a likes those pawrts too Raena. We really are Blest. Ya’ know, the holidays are here and peeps are startin’ to get really busy.  

 

Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

 

          Sure ‘nuff sissy. I’s had mine’s thinkin’ cap on lately and I’s thinkin’ we should post a gift guide with our top picks. Mommy even received this cool new notebook fur furee, to keep track of all our plans and picks. And, ifin you’re like mommy and still like to use paper notebooks, we think you’d luvs it or one like it. Ya’ oughtta check out TeePublic, they’ve got some really cool things that would make great gifts. 

 

Me thinks that’s a great idea Raena. Guess we better get to work on that befur Christmas sneaks up on us. 

 

Raena looks out door from small perchWe thought this foto was kind’a cool the way I’s almost black and white

x’cept fur the outside. Mommy can’t see black and white fotos very

good, so we ‘pawlogize ifin it’s blurry.

 

 

 

          I’s ready sissy. Just let me link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furidays right quick and we can start shoppin’ together. 

 

Dezi bathes, With all this fur it's hard to reach everywhere

 

 

Sure Raena, me will have a little bath while me waits.

 

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

Tell All Tuesday: Filet O’ Fish #ChewyInfluencer

Published on by Service Cats U.S.22 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. The colds are here. We went to bed last night with the air conditioner on and woke up as frozen pawp-sicles. Even mommy’s purrsonal summers didn’t keep her from shiverin’. She says that’s what happens at 17°. Even sissy got in on the cuddlin’. 

 

Dezi sits in front of track toy

 

 

 

          Of course me did Raena. It was cold, what’d you x’pect me to do? 

 

Raena sits on cat tree in front of door

 

 

 

I’s don’t know sissy, you’re the one always complainin’ ‘bout me wantin’ to cuddle. You always meow that cuddlin’ with me makes you too hot. 

 

Dezi sniffs track toy

 

 

 

          Me wasn’t cuddlin’ with you Raena, me was cuddlin’ with mommy. You just happened to be in the same vicinity. MOL Anyways, me’s hopin’ mommy turns on the ‘lectric fireplace soon. Me luvs layin’ in front of it durin’ the cold ugly days of winter. 

 

Profile of Raena sitting on the cat tree

 

 

 

The ‘lectric fireplace? Is it new sissy? I’s don’t seem to ‘member a fireplace. 

 

          Nah Raena, it ain’t new. You purrobably don’t ‘member it cuz the lights burned out last year. But, mommy put new lights in it this year, so it should look fine now. We can enjoy the lights right along with it’s heat. 

 

Well sissy, that does sound like fun. Altho’ I’s do purrfur cuddlin’ with mommy fur heat and luvs. I’s actually purrfur cuddlin’ with mommy over purretty much anythin’. 

 

          Yeah Raena, me knows. On another note, we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout the new treats we tried the other day. 

 

New treats? What new treats? I’s don’t ‘member gettin’ any new treats.

Oh yeah, I’s ‘member those. We were really disappointed that the only option available was fish. We don’t get many treats in our house and we rarely get fish. But, since these were 1 ingredient only, mommy said we could try ‘em out. Turns out, we don’t like fish any more than mommy does. I’s didn’t even stick around to sniff the plate. 

 

Dezi sniffs a plate of Fancy Feast filets

 

 

 

          Well me did Raena. Me sniffed it several times. And then me sniffed yours. You know, maybe yours was better? Turns out yours wasn’t any better than what me had. Altho’ the pack we got didn’t have any chicken, we have tried the chicken purreviously and thought it was okay. Mommy thinks they’re a bit on the ‘spensive side.

Blest Sunday: We Honor And Salute You

Published on by Service Cats U.S.17 Comments

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, today’s a very special Blest Sunday. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          Raena:  Really sissy? What’s so special ‘bout today? 

 

Dezi sits looking at flag on wood background frame

 

 

 

Dezi:  It’s Veteran’s Day, Raena. A day we take to ‘member the soldiers who fought, and many gave their lives so we could be free from tyranny. So many brave men, women and anipals gave their lives on distant shores, so that loved ones and even strangers like us could live our lives free from fear of wars in our own home. Me thinks we furget how things could be. We’ve been free fur so long that me thinks we sometimes take our Country’s greatness and freedoms fur granted.

 

Raena sits pretty in a patriotic memory frame

 

 

 

          Raena: I’s think you’re right sissy. It’s not purretty to think ‘bout young men, women and anipals lying in a trench on some foreign soil bleeding and dying. To think ‘bout them bein’ lonely and scared, and away from their families and loved ones; not knowin’ ifin they’ll ever see them again. To think ‘bout them swearin’ an oath to purrtect us…to die fur complete strangers. Soldiers who never gave a second thought to goin’ to bad places and facin’ bad people. Standing their ground and sayin’ “As long as I’m here, no one is going to hurt you”. 

 

Dezi with bowed head praying on the pet steps

 

 

 

Dezi:  So true Raena. There’s so much hate and discord in our Country right now. So many peeps sayin’ and doin’ things that would get them thrown into prison or killed in lesser Countries. Peeps tryin’ to take away the very freedoms that those soldiers bled and died for. The truth is, it’s a slap in the face, it’s like spittin’ on the graves of all those who bravely fought and lost their lives to secure those freedoms and make our Country great. It makes us so sad to hear ‘bout our vets bein’ treated badly. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

          Raena:  I’s think all those soldiers who died to make America great are turnin’ over in their graves at some of the nonsense goin’ on right now, sissy. In our house, we bleed red white and blue. We honor our flag and each and every soldier who willingly defends/defended our Country and us from our enemies. We are so Blest to have been born in such an amazing Country. We are Blest to have a mommy who has taught us the price that was paid to make our Nation great. 

 

Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Dezi:  Yes Raena, we are indeed Blest. We fank and salute each and every veteran and their families today and every day. We fank each and every soldier who serves us now. You may not know us, and we may not know your name, but we ask God to Bless and keep you each day. While you’re watchin’ over us, God is watchin’ over you. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. and we wanna fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours. 

 

Raena gets loving selfie

 

 

 

          Raena:  And, as we do each week, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Purrlease ‘member to fanky fank our vets fur their service. Because of them and their sacrifice, you can sleep safely in your bed at night.

 

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