Peace Is Returning

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Well, what a week we’ve had. Mines tummy’s been sore and mines balance was a little off at da beginnin’ of da week. And then there was sis Dezi. She wouldn’t come near me at all. And every time I tried to give her a nose bump or even walk by her she would hiss and growl at me. A lot of ya’ ‘splained dat basically I’s stank and dat’s why sissy didn’t like me. I asked mommy to give me some of her purrfume so I could smell purretty like sissy and maybe then she would like me again.

       Raena, mommy told you it wasn’t just your smell and dat you didn’t actually stink. You just didn’t smell like da Raena me had learned to luv and accept. And trust me, no amount of mommy’s smell good purrfume was gonna mask dat.

 Raena laying on the floor

Well, ifin I’s didn’t stink then how come you were still bein’ mean to me a couple days later after mommys scent was all over me?

       (Dezi says under her breath and grins) Cuz me could. (Looks up and talks to Raena) Well Raena, mommy allows fur stinkerness after certain events without withholdin’ treats, so me was just takin’ advantage of every second of dat rule.

Is dat why you’re not hissin’ at me as much anymore?

 Dezi and Raena laying on the Liberty Cat Tree

       Yeah, mommy’s run outta patience and said we better get along or else. And besides it takes a lot of energy to do all dat hissin’ and growlin’. Me even missed a nap or two.

Well sissy, I’s glad we’re furiends again. Wanna play with our silvervine sticks? 

       Dat sounds like fun Raena. You know a couple peeps asked ‘bout where we found our sticks of da vine. As most everypawdy knows we don’t have much money, so mommy searched da innernet far and wide and found them on ebay fur less than a dollar and free shippin’ all da way from China. All ya’ gotta do is put silvervine sticks in da search bar and voila’ you’re on your way to vine bliss. Speakin’ of, me needs to find me’s stick. Befur we go, we’re gonna join with Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade.

Published on by Service Cats U.S.38 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. It’s so ugly and dark here today. We had some really loud thunder boomers last night. But I’s kept sis Dezi busy playin’ so she wouldn’t notice. Wasn’t dat nice of me?

 Dezi and Raena on cat tree

       Playin’? Is dat what you call jumpin’ on me from da top of da chair, da tree, da scratchin’ post, and anywhere else you could find to jump off of from?

 

 

Sure sissy, wasn’t it fun? 

 

 

       Uh…Did me’s hisses and growls sound like it was fun Raena?

Hisses? Growls? Hmmmmm I’s didn’t hear any of dat sissy. I’s just thought it was da thunder.

       (Dezi shakes her head) Well Raena are you gonna get to your question? 

 

 Raena lays on floor resting during playtie

Oh yeah, fanks fur remindin’ me sissy. As ya’ know, mines spa day is tomorrow. Mommy goes to see hers doctor today and then I’s goin’ fur a spay, whatever dat is, tomorrow. Mommy says this is completely routine and dat most all mines furiends have been thru it, but as always there are risks. So, I’s would fur sure purreciate your purrayers dat all goes well and I’s back to bein’ me in no time. Mommy will be stayin’ right by mines side da whole time, and she plans on takin’ fotos, ifin allowed. She used to volunteer with this clinic but doesn’t ‘member their pawlicies. She does ‘member a lot of da folks don’t want their fotos posted, so she might have to do a lot of blurrin’.  Anyways, we’ll keep ya’ll posted. We won’t be ‘round a lot this weekend, cuz of these things, but mommy did purromise to try to post at least an update after da deed on facebook. We of course will be here fur our regular Blest Sunday to tell you all ‘bout it.

       Besides, it also means extra good treats. Anyways, we’ve gotta go so mommy can get ready fur hers ‘pointment. She could use some purrayers too. Da State mandated dat mommy and her doctor don’t know what’s bestest fur her and it’s been a really tough month fur mommy. So we’re purrayin’ somethin’ can be done to help her today. Anyways, we’re joinin’ Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. Check it out. We’re purrayin’ fur all our furiends, ‘specially those in da path of da storms. Stay safe and have a furtabulous weekend.

I’m Not Selfish, Mommy’s Being Mean

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey? Is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. I’s got somethin’ to tell ya’. Mommy’s bein’ mean to us!!! Can you believe it?

 Raena laying on perch

 

 
RaenaBelle Mayce!!! Don’t tell peeps dat.

 Dezi sits on the floor in her typical pose

 

 

But it’s true sissy. I saw it with mines own eyes, I did. You might’a been sleepin’ but I was right there.

 

 

       Yeah Raena, me’s sure you were. Mommy purrays all day everyday and asks God to purrtect you from yourself and keep ya’ from getting’ hurt or breakin’ somethin’. So me has no doubt you were “right” there. So just what did you see?

 Raena checks out box

Sissy, I saw bunches of toys. I mean enuff to start our own toy store. All of ‘em fur us from da give away we won over at Three Chatty Cats. You know da one, da Honest Pet Products, where everythin’ is made from all natural stuffs. There’s all different kinds of toys even. And they smelled divine. Mommy layed ‘em all out and even got da flashy box after ‘em.

 Raena sniffs bag of toys

 

 

       Yes Raena, me saw all dat.

 Raena with her catty pillar

Ya’ did? Well I’s wasn’t sure, cuz you didn’t say anythin’ when all mommy gave us was one niptastic catty pillar. And she put everythin’ else away.

 Raena with toys

 

 

       Yeah me saw her Raena. And me heard her say dat she was gonna save some of those toys fur mes birthday, your spa day and maybe even Christmas. Mommy knows we’ll furget we even saw ‘em by then and dat we’ll be happy kitties when she brings one out.

But I’s wanted ‘em all right then.

 Raena with her catty pillar

 

 

 

       Yeah, me’s sure you did Raena. But dat’s very selfish. And besides, just how many toys can you actually play with at one time?

Well sissy, don’t you ‘member mines furst night here? I had never seen toys. And… (Raenas’ eyes get big remembering what she saw when placed on the floor)  MeOWWWwwwww I was runnin’ from one toy to another. So I can play with lots of toys at one time.

 Dezi sniffs the catty pillar

       Yeah Raena, me ‘members your furst night, and me ‘members you runnin’ in circles. It was really cute, and mommy and even me were happy dat you were havin’ a good time. Mommy even got a video of ya’. Ifin anypawdy missed it or ya’ just need a smile and a little chuckle, you can watch it here. But, there comes a time when you have to learn not to be selfish anymore and dat time is now. Don’t worry, mommy’ll give us da rest of those toys, just not today. Now, go play with your catty pillar. We were really blest and each got one of our own. And fur anypawdy wonderin’ ‘bout our a/c leak and da repairs of such, we have an update. Mommy did call da manager to demand a time fur da repairs. And da manager told mommy da maintenance man would be here Wednesday.

Yeah, but he wasn’t da one who showed up on Wednesday was he sissy?

 Pet Parade banner new

       (Dezi shakes head and rolls her eyes) No Raena, he wasn’t. Da manager showed up on Wednesday to tell mommy dat da rent was goin’ up again in October. We say again, cuz our rent just went up when we renewed our lease. She wanted mommy to initial da changes on our lease. Mommy reminded her dat we never got any notice of this increase, and this certainly isn’t 30 days notice. Then she purrceeded to tell mommy dat a a/c repairman would be here on Monday to fix da a/c. And she said, “It’s going to be messy.” Well duh!!! Did she want mommy to say furget ‘bout it then? Like leakin’ pipes and moldy carpet, floors and stuff ain’t messy. Yes, da woman’s an idiot. She has to be, right? Well at least da repairman should be qualified. MOL  Anyways, me needs to tell ya’ dat we’s joinin’ Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da Pet Parade. We hope you all have a pawsum weekend.

Friday Hijack

Published on by Service Cats U.S.36 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s Toss Up/Surprise Furiday and sis Dezi said I’s could take da lead. Isn’t she just da bestest sissy ever? …What’s dat mommy? She didn’t actually say I’s could take da lead? She was tryin’ to tell me to leave her alone so she could eat? Well isn’t dat da same thing? Ifin she’s eatin’ she obviously can’t be here to blog right? …It isn’t da same thing? Well it should be. And who cares, I’s here now and she isn’t. MOL  So anyways, I’s takin’ da lead today.

 Raena laying across pounce tou

It’s been kinda crazy ‘round here this week. Mommy’s had to clean up all da mold from da a/c leak dat still isn’t fixed. Seems da maintenance man didn’t show up this week cuz he worked 3 days last week and dat was 2 more than he wants to work. Da office be closed today, so you know what mommy’ll be doin’ Monday, don’cha’? I’s wouldn’t wanna be da manager dat’s fur sure. You’ll get a clue why Service Cat Monday. Anyways, not sure how much more there is to clean and dry, but it’s lots of fun fur me. Things strewn everywhere…it’s like a kitty playground. Altho’ not sure dat’s what mommy intended. She sure does a lot of hissin’ at me. 

       RAENABELLE MAYCEE!!!!! 

Wooooooops Gotta go eat mines brekky now. See ya’ in a minute. 

 Dezi atop the Liberty cat tree

       Raena, ya’ can’t just hijack da bloggy anytime you want. What ifin me had somethin’ special planned fur today?

Well did ya’ sissy?

       Well, No. But dat’s not da point. It’s me’s bloggy, me was here furst, and me’s da elder cat and Queen of da house.

 Raena laying on the pounce toy

Well sissy, I’s didn’t wanna say anythin’ but since ya’ brought it up… You have been lookin’ a little tired lately. And ya’ might wanna ask mommy ‘bout her beauty tricks fur getting’ rid of those bags unner your eyes.

       RaenaBelle!!! Furstly, dat’s not very nice. But more purrtantly, me’s a cat. Me doesn’t get bags under me’s eyes. And ifin me’s tired, dat would be your fault fur not lettin’ me nap. Didn’t you get da memo? Kittens, dat’s you, are ‘posed to sleep ‘tween 16 – 18 hours a day. 

Oh Catness sissy, I’s might miss somethin’. 

 Dezi laying on the liberty cat tree

       Trust me Raena, you ain’t gonna miss anythin’. We live ‘round a bunch of old folks like mommy. Da most excitement dat happens ‘round here is when da ambulance pulls in and everypawdy’s tryin’ to figger out who it’s fur.

Is dat da noisy thing with all da fun colored lights?

 Pet Parade banner new

       Yes Raena, it’s da noisy thing with all da lights. And me knows, you really like it. Anyways, we’s gotta go finish our brekky. You know what mommy says, “no treats unless you eat all your meal.” But befur we go, we’s joinin’ up with Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. Tell everypawdy bye Raena.

See ya’ll later…or sooner ifin I’s can hijack da bloggy again.

 Dezi and Raena in a tiled frame
