Blest Sunday: Thankful Blessings

MeOW  Me’s been busy with the annual Cat Scout jamboree fur the last week. It’s always great fun, but me’s glad it’s over and things can settle down a bit again. Ifin you’ve ever wanted to be a pawrt of somethin’ bigger than yourself and make lastin’ furiendships with others like you, then you should check it out. Cat Scouts is furee to join. It’s gone thru a lot of changes since me furst joined, but the furiendships me’s made there have only gotten stronger. But, me is happy to be getting’ back to normal now. And what better way, than with Blest Sunday, don’t you agree Raena?

          Yep sissy, I’s glad too. Kittens!!! Dinner was late almost every night. I’s don’t know what ya’ll be doin’ ‘round the campfire, since you won’t let me join, but just cuz ya’ll be havin’ virtual cook outs doesn’t mean mine’s real tummy don’t get hungry.

Purrlease Raena, dinner wasn’t that late. It’s not like you’re starvin’. Have you ever actually missed a meal? Me thinks not. Mommy does everythin’ she can to make sure we have purrlenty to eat. You know there are lots of kitties in the world that don’t have that security. They’d gladly swap places with you.

 

Dezi looks out door while laying on cat tree and Raena lays on tree below

 

 

 

          That’s okay sissy. I’s don’t wanna swap places with any kitty. I’s livin’ the good life, even when dinner’s 10 minutes late. 

 

Meowin’ of the good life Raena, what happened to you last night? 

 

          Wha’d’ya’ mean sissy? 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

 

You know, when you were sleepin’ all sound like atop the liberty tree and suddenly jolted and flew off the top of the tree and skedaddled thru the house and unner the table. You scared mommy and me half to death. Did you have a bad dream or somethin’? 

 

Raena bathes atop the cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, it was just horrible. Ya’ know, that tree’s really high. I’s kind’a wish I’d thought ‘bout it a bit befur launchin’ mine’s self into the air. I’s don’t think we kitties were meant to fly. 

 

Dezi sits pretty

 

 

 

Well, ya’ hit the nail on the head with that one Raena. What was your furst clue, the lack of wings or your crash landin’? Me’s gotta tell ya’, me’s not sure me’s ever seen your eyes look quite that big befur. And me fur sure don’t like hearin’ that much panic in mommy’s voice. She was so worried you’d hurt yourself or somethin’. 

 

          Yeah, I’s didn’t like it too much either sissy. Fanky fankfully, I’s only got a few bruises. Ya’ can’t see ‘em fur the fur, but I’s assure you, they’re there. I’s don’t ever wanna do that again.

 

Me’s sure me’s meowin’ fur mommy too Raena, when me meows, we don’t want you to that again either. Me’s just glad you’re okay. ‘Specially since you’re plannin’ me’s pawrty. You know me’s actual birthday is this comin’ Fursday, right? 

 

Raena bathes atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          I’s know sissy. And mommy’s purromissed to get us some special treats fur that day cuz of your birthday and cuz mine’s surgery has been moved up to that day too. Mommy called doctor stabby and grabby and he agreed to go ahead with mine’s surgery and let us pay what we’ve already raised and pay off the rest as it comes in. We’re so Blest to have such amazin’ furiends. I’s a little scared, but knowin’ so many peeps luvs me sure is comfurtin’.  

 

Yep Raena, me’s heart is so full thinkin’ ‘bout all the furiends we’ve made and how we all luv and suppurrt each other not just durin’ the good times, but also the bad. Ya’ know, a true furiend is the one who doesn’t abandon you when life throws ya’ a curveball.

 

3 cats meowing thank you

 

 

          That’s a great way to put it sissy. I’s wanna say a meowsy big fanky fank you fur helpin’ me have mine’s surgery to awnty Claire, Zorro and Pixie, awnty Theresa, awnty Kerry and Valentine, awnty Susan M, awnty Susan C, and awnty Ava. Ifin you’d like to help, you can donate here. And a huge fanky fank you to all of you fur your purrs and purrayers. I’s would ‘purreciate a few extra come Fursday November 1st. Mommy says we have to be there t’ween 7:30 and 8:15 that meownin’. Looks like we’ll be stayin’ up all night Wednesday and she’ll be havin’ coffee at the V-E-T. Maybe they’ll even have donuts. 

 

Dezi bows her head to pray

 

 

 

Me will be purrayin’ fur ya’ Raena. Even ifin it means me has to miss a meal. You can’t eat anythin’ after midnight, so guess what? That means me won’t get anythin’ either. Hmmmpht  The sacrifices me makes fur you.

 

          I’s do ‘purreciate you fur doin’ that sissy.  

 

Like me has a choice. Those better be really delicious treats ya’ll bring home. Me knows mommy luvs coffee and donuts, but me’s wants somethin’ way better than that. 

 

Raena stands on scratcher with paw lifted

 

 

 

          I’s sure mommy will get us somethin’ really tasty sissy. Don’t worry. All this meowin’ ‘bout food’s got me hungry. I’s gonna go finish eatin’ mine’s brekky. Gotta keep up mine’s strength ya’ know.  

 

Dezi gets love while laying in mommy's lapMe luvs you mommy.

Blest Sunday: How Blessings Work

Dezi:  MeOW  Welcome, welcome, it’s Blest Sunday, and are we ever Blest. Yeah, yeah, me knows it’s been a ruff week what with Raena’s health mews, the continued storms outside and all the other things that have come our way. But, ya’ wanna know how Blessings work? 

 

Raena stands on the Liberty Cat tree while Dezi looks back at her from the ledge

 

 

 

          Raena:  Blessings don’t work sissy, they just are. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

Me’s not meowin’ ‘bout that kind’a work Raena. Kittens!!! Sometimes, you’re so literal. Anyways, what me meant is that even bad things come with Blessings. Like, we hated hearin’ you have Entropion and gingivitis. But, we choose to see the Blessing, we furinally have answers and even better, it can be fixed. See, that’s how Blessings work. 

 

          I’s get it sissy. It’s lookin’ fur the good even tho’ what you might see furst is the bad. Ya’ know what else? I’s think you’ve been much nicer to me since you found out mine’s eyes be hurtin’. Y, You didn’t even hiss when I’s jumped on you this meownin’ at brekky. 

 

Dezi and Raena atop the liberty cat tree with Yeowww toy

 

 

 

Yeah well, don’t get used to it Raena. The minute you feel better, me’s gonna give you the whacky paw of instruction ifin you jump on me again. 

 

          Aaaaaaaaaw sissy, I’s know you don’t mean it. You know you luvs me.

 

Me does Raena, but haven’t you ever heard, spare the rod and spoil the child? Everypawdy needs a little discipline now and then. 

 

Animated thank you rose

 

          Whatever you meow sissy. I’s thought we were countin’ our Blessings, not meowin’ ‘bout rods and things spoilin’. I’s wanna say a meowsy big Fanky fank you to awnty Cindy, awnty Jeanne, awnty Sandra and awnty Juliea and Patzy fur the green papers to help me have the surgery I’s need. 

 

Thank You emoji

 

You’re right Raena, that’s a huge Blessing. And we’re so grateful. Me’s always told you that we have the bestest furiends in the universe. Meowin’ of, me’s wants to fank awnty Anonymous fur sendin’ me some green papers fur me’s Birthday. How’s the pawrty plannin’ goin’?  

 

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party invite

 

 

          It’s goin’ great sissy. Mommy’s helpin’ me and we made a little invite last night. I’s sure hope all our furiends send their masked fotos. I’s purromissed that we’d have a contest fur the bestest mask or costume. I’s think I’s might be just as x’cited ‘bout the pawrty as you are. Celebratin’ Birthdays and Gotchadays is celebratin’ the biggest Blessing a kitty or woofy can have.

You’re fur sure right ‘bout that Raena. The biggest Blessing in me’s life is mommy. Ya’ know, we need to wrap this up. Me’s got a jamboree to attend at Cat Scouts this week. But befur we go, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. There really is a Blessing inside every dark cloud, a rose among the thorns, sometimes we just have to look a little closer to see them. We’d also like to Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Blest Sunday: Sisterly Conversations

MeOW  WooHoo  It’s Blest Sunday and me has so much to give fanks fur this week. RaenaBelle, where are you, it’s time to count our Blessings. Me swears, you’re never where you’re s’posed to be. (Raena comes running down the hall and jumps over Dezi) Hisssssssss Quit jumpin’ on me!!! Kittens, You can be such a pest sometimes. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          But I’s luvs you sissy. I’s just wanna play with mine’s bestest sisfur ever. 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of their new dishes

 

 

Me’s your only sisfur, Raena. Besides, what you call play is more like bein’ a pest. You know, like me’s piddle purroblems. Mommy insists that me splain to everypawdy why me was avoidin’ the pawtty box, so they wouldn’t think mommy be mistreatin’ me and overlookin’ me bein’ sick. Furst me wants to meow fank you fur your concern, but me’s pawtty box issues are more behavioral and have a name…RaenaBelle the mighty huntress. 

 

Raena lays on top of the litterbox

 

 

 

          You blame me fur everythin’ sissy. It ain’t right, just not right at all. I’s gonna tell mommy you’re bein’ mean to me. 

 

Hmmmmpht  Go ahead Raena, you’re fur sure to blame here. Some of ya’ may ‘member back when sis Lexi got sick and had trouble balancin’. Mommy took the covers off our pawtty boxes to help her. Then when Raena showed up, she kept tryin’ to play with me’s tail while me was takin’ care of business; so we had to get a new pawtty box with a lid. Things were goin’ purretty well till this summer, when Raena took up layin’ in wait on top of the pawtty box. Me swears, the girl never stops. Anyways, bein’ the ambush hunter she is, she started tryin’ to whacky paw me while me was usin’ the facilities. So, me’s only recourse was to pawtty somewhere else…the floor and then the piddle pads. Most of this has been worked out, but mommy decided to leave some piddle pads down, just in case. And of course, she hopes we’ll use them fur hairballs and upset tummy hurls. 

 

Raena wipes her eye while laying on the cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Yeah, like you’d actually try to hit a piddle pad sissy. When you need to hurl, you just stand up and let ‘er rip no matter where you are. 

 

That’s not true Raena, me hit the piddle pad just the other day. 

 

          Sure you did sissy. That was after lettin’ a big chunk go on the floor and mommy runnin’ over to try to put somethin’ unner you. You took off runnin’ down the hall and hit the edge of a piddle pad. 

 

Dezi eats out of new dish

 

 

 

Still, me did hit it Raena and that’s all that counts. Anyways, ‘nuff ‘bout all that. What did you think of our new dinner plates that we won? 

 

          I’s thinkin’ I’s gonna like ‘em sissy. At furst I’s was a little ‘fraid of ‘em. But hey, they hold more than our current dishes, so that’s a win in mine’s book. Now we just gotta convince mommy to fill ‘em up.

 

Me agrees Raena. No sense in lettin’ all that space go to waste. Me knows you like that they’re shallow cuz of your smashed face. 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of new dishes

 

 

 

          Mine’s face isn’t smashed sissy. I’s just got a short nose. Mommy says I’s bootyful, even with mine’s short nose. 

 

Whatever Raena. Hey did you see me’s new get up fur the Cat Scout choir auditions?  

 

          I’s did sissy. Can I’s use it too? I’s luvs to sing. Maybe we can record a song and dedicate it to mommy. We’re so Blest to have such a pawsum mommy, and I’s sure she’d luvs to hear us sing a song to her. 

 

Dezi with headphones on - selfie

 

 

 

We’ll see Raena. Furst me has to figger out how to set up everythin’. But you’re purrobably right, mommy would luv us to sing together. She luvs any kind of togetherness. And, since me’s been hangin’ out with ya’ll all week in spite of the storms, she’s on cloud nine right now. 

 

          That’s true sissy. I’s know we’re both very purroud of you fur overcomin’ your fears. 

 

How many times does me have to tell ya’, me’s not afraid Raena. Me just didn’t see any need to hunt UTB this week. 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting loveDo you like mine’s pawrty plans mommy?

 

 

 

Sure sissy, whatever you meow. Anyways…I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur you and mommy. I’s so Blest to be a pawrt of our family. And, we’re so Blest to have such amazin’ furiends. And meowin’ of furiends, I’s was thinkin’ we could have a Carnivale themed pawrty to celebrate your birthday and gotchaday. You know, like in Venice. What do you think? I’s thinkin’ everypawdy could throw on their bestest carnivale masks and send us their fotos. We could even have a contest fur the bestest outfit. 

 

 

Dezi looks up at the cat tree while laying on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

That sounds like fun Raena. You just might pull of me’s pawrty after all. Me can’t wait to see all our furiends dressed up fur the pawrty. Let’s wrap this up fur now so me can go and find me’s own mask. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Blest Sunday: Dezi Held Her Ground

MeOW MeOW (Dezi runs through the house mewing and swishing her tail as the storms outside rage)  Look, mommy, me’s not hidin’!!! C’mon RaenaBelle, let’s eat dinner; it looks so yummy. Then maybe we can play. (Suddenly there’s a clap of thunder that shakes the walls. Dezi looks up from her dinner plate with concern, as Raena runs up the cat tree and back down again. Dezi looks over at mommy A who smiles and says it’s okay. Dezi walks over to mommy A for a little love and pets and returns to eating her dinner.

 

Raena lays atop the liberty cat tree with arm outstretched

 

 

 

          I’s really purroud of you sissy. It’s stormin’ like crazy out there and here you are, actin’ like it’s just another day. I’s been tryin’ to tell ya’ that the storms can’t hurt you and now you can see it fur yourself. Wanna play?

 

Hmmmmpht  Me saw your eyes get bigger than saucers a few times too Raena. Miss ain’t afraid of anythin’ looked a little scared just a few minutes ago.

 

          I’s wasn’t scared sissy. But, that thunder boomer sure was loud. I’s don’t think I’s ever heard one quite that loud befur. (Suddenly there’s another loud clap of thunder and the lights flicker. Dezi and Raena look at each other and then over to mommy A who sits calmly smiling at them. And then another clap and the lights flicker off. There’s a pop from down the hall and then the lights come back on. Mommy A gets up to reset the breaker that got switched. Raena runs after her.) Wait mommy, I’s wanna be right beside ya’. I’s can purrtect ya’ ifin the lights go out again. You know we kitties see really good in the dark; much better than you. 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

What a kiss up you are Raena. Kittens, it’s not like the lights were out fur hours. Besides, what do you think all these candles sittin’ ‘round the house are fur? 

 

          Well sissy, I’s always kind’a wondered what they did? I’s mean, they do smell nice, but I’s sure didn’t know they put off light. 

 

Yeah, me’s only seen them a few times me’s self. Mommy used to burn them more, but she says the good ones costs lots of green papers so she’s savin’ ‘em fur special occasions. And of course to find the pawtty box room ifin the ‘lectricity be out. Unlike us, she can’t find her way ‘round with her nose. MOL

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          You are a funny one sissy. In any case, I’s just happy that we’re all together and safe and that you didn’t run UTB at the fust sound of storms. I’s know that makes mommy happy too. I’s even heard her fanky fankin’ God fur blessin’ her with such amazinly pawsum babies.

 

Me heard her too Raena. Mommy’s always givin’ fanks fur how Blest she is and how much of a Blessin’ we are fur her. Sometimes, me thinks she’s got it all wrong. We’re the Blest ones. Only God knows what our fates would’a been ifin He hadn’t sent mommy to us. While we’re meowin’ ‘bout our Blessings, me would like to meow that every kitty who crosses paths with a rescuer is a Blest kitty indeed. You rescuers and tenders of ferals are just as Blest as the kitties you tend. We know some of those kitties may never let you close enuff to even touch them, but we know they luv you and they know they owe their lives to your kindness and luv. 

 

Raena lays atop cat tree with arm outstretched

 

 

 

          That’s so true sissy. And, with all the stormin’ goin’ on, we should count our Blessings now. Mommy says it may be days befur these pass over so we gotta make the most of any lull. I’s wanna make sure that we get the word out and invite all our furiends fur your Birthday pawrty. We are Blest to have so many wonderful furiends and it just wouldn’t be a purr-opurr celebration without all of them. As most everypawdy knows, your Birthday is on November the 1st and your Gotchaday was just a couple weeks later, so I’s plannin’ a mid month pawrty. We’ll keep everypawdy updated as the plans get squared away. 

 

Dezi gets love while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Y, Fank you Raena. You’re right, it wouldn’t be the same without all our furiends there to celelbrate with me. We better wrap this up so you can get back to plannin’. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we’d like to fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours. And, me’s gonna beat Raena to it today, we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies

 

          Don’t furget, there’s still time to enter the give away here fur Prancie’s Prayer. 

 

You’ve always gotta have the last word don’t ya’ Raena?  

 

Do you think we should have a theme party?

If so, what theme would you like to join? 

Or, do you have another brilliant idea for Dezi’s party?

 

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