Chatting Cats: Where’s My Bite

MeOW  Raena, What are you doin’?

          Uh, Who? Me? Uh, I’s just havin’ a little turkey tom lurkey. You know, mommy had another dentist ‘pointment yesfurday to get somethin’ called a soft liner in her new teethies. Seems she’s had trouble keepin’ ‘em in her mouth, and this soft liner stuff’s s’posed to help with that.

Yeah, me knows ‘bout the ‘pointment Raena, but where’d the turkey tom lurkey come from? Me knows you didn’t get it at the dentist office.

          You’re right sissy. But wouldn’t that be fun. Mommy says when she was little, the dentists always gave her a sucker after her ‘pointments. She’d get a long lecture ’bout eatin’ candy and how that was the reason she was losin’ a tooth, and then he’d go and give her a choice of suckers. Seems kind’a crazy, but I’s guess it assures him of future business. MOL  Anyways, right next door to the dentist office is an Arby’s. After talkin’ with a furiend who’s goin’ thru the exact same thing as mommy, and findin’ out he was able to eat a steak sammich and a pizza, mommy decided to give that sammich thing a try. Arby’s has these sammiches called sliders, that only cost a dollar ‘tween the hours of 2 and 5, so mommy said we just had to make a stop. But, we had to wait till we got back home to have any cuz mommy wanted to make sure we both got some.

 

Well then, where’s me’s bite? Did you already eat it up?

          Who? Meeeee? Nah, that wasn’t me sissy. Maybe we have a kitty ghost or somethin’.

Me thinks you did. But, that’s okay, me saw what ya’ll brought home the other day, and me purrfurs that to Arby’s turkey tom lurkey any day. Mommy had bought one of those tv dinners with turkey tom lurkey bites and was able to chew them up. She got purretty x’cited ‘bout that and then saw that turkey breasts were on sale at the grocery store fur $4.99. ‘Course, mommy headed fur the grocery store where she discovered they weren’t actually $4.99, but $4.99 a pound. So, mommy bought another bag of taters instead.

          Yep sissy, I’s know mommy has to be getting’ tired of taters, but there’s no way she was payin’ $5.00 a pound fur anythin’. But then, one of our angels sent mommy some green papers and told her to go get one of those breasts. So, we went back to the store and mommy found a different turkey tom lurkey fur less green papers. I’s tried to tell her to get the biggest one they had, but she said the one she picked out would be purrlenty fur the three of us. But, when we got home, mommy put him in the freezer. She said we had to wait till after she got that soft liner fur her teethies, and a weekend, when ‘lectric purrices were cheaper befur she’d be cookin’ him up. 

 

Ya’ know what that means don’t ya’ Raena? We’re havin’ turkey tom lurkey this weekend. Me can’t wait. 

 

          Me either. In the meantime, I’s’ll be happy to finish mommy’s sammich. Seems it’s still too early fur mommy to be bitin’ anythin’. Anyways, what did you do while mommy and me were gone yesfurday? 

 

Me took a nice long peaceful nap. Till the sky started grumblin’ that is. Me’s so tired of all these storms. Me was so glad to see ya’ll come walkin’ thru the door. Me was worried what with ya’ll bein’ out in the storms and all. 

 

          Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw fanky fank you sissy. We worried ‘bout you bein’ home alone too.

Me’s glad to hear you were at least thinkin’ ‘bout me Raena. But, me does enjoy me’s alone time…well, sometimes me does. That sammich does smell good. Let’s go ask mommy fur a few more bites and try to visit some of our furiends befur the storms roll in again. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Rain Dancing & Blessings

Mmrrrrr Hiss, Stop it Raena, it’s time fur Blest Sunday.

 

 Dezi looks up at Raena atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

          C’mon sissy, I’s just wanna play. Meowin’ of blessings, look ‘round. We’re so blest to have so much to play with.

 

We are Raena. But, you know blessings aren’t all ‘bout the material things.

 

Raena plays with remote mouse

 

 

          ‘Course I’s know that sissy, but still, it’s nice to have ‘em. But, I’s also know that we’re blest to have such a pawsum mommy. Did we not have fun this weekend? Even tho’ mommy woke up feelin’ sicker than a dog, she made time fur us. 

 

 Dezi walks outside in her harness on a leash

 

 

Yep Raena, she sure did. We had asked ifin she would take us fur a stroll but mommy did even better. Well, sort of. Me got all harnessed up, and thinkin’ me was goin’ fur a stroll furst, me went straight over to the stroller. To me’s sur-purrise, mommy snatched me up in her arms and took me outside. She even let me touch me’s paws to the grass. We were lolly-gaggin’ (wastin’ time) ‘round when all of a sudden mommy realized she had left the camera in the house. Did you know we could hear you meowin’ at the door all the way on the other side of the ‘pawrtment complex?

  

          I’s wanted to be with you and mommy sissy. What did you x’pect me to do, wait mine’s turn patiently?

 

Kittens Raena, you could see us every minute. Anyways, realizin’ we didn’t have the camera, but seein’ that me was really enjoyin’ the great outdoors, mommy said, “It’s okay Dezi, we don’t have to have photos of everythin’, all the time.” So, we just kept walkin’ ‘round. Till that is, mommy got tired of hearin’ you mewin’ at the door like a little lost kitten. 

 

 Raena walks towards the woods on her harness

 

 

          Well sissy, I’s figgered ya’ll had been out there purrlenty long enuff that surely it was mine’s turn. I’s couldn’t wait to get outside and put mine’s paws on the grass. We even stopped off at the mailboxes to check the mail. And, that’s when it happened. Mine’s nice long leisurely stroll got cut short. In mere seconds the birds stopped singin’ and the skies turned black as night. The heavens opened up and let the flood waters fall. Oh MeOW, I’s headed straight fur the pawrkin’ lot to dance in the rain. Mommy was yellin’ somethin’ I’s couldn’t quite make out thru all the noise of the storm. And then, befur I’s could get mine’s paw in the puddle on the sidewalk, mommy snatched me up and took off runnin’ towards our ‘pawrtment.

 

 Dezi looks outside from the cat tree

 

 

Yep Raena, ya’ll looked so funny. Mommy can’t actually run to save her life, so ya’ll were doin’ more like a quick hobble. Mommy’s head was lookin’ down as much as she can bend her head, and you were starin’ straight up pawin’ at the air.

 

          Oh sissy, it was so much fun. Till we got back inside that is. I’s was soaked. All mine’s fur was wet. It took hours fur me to dry off. And, you were no help, hidin’ out unner the bed. 

 

How many times does me have to tell ya’, Me’s Not HIDIN’, me’s purrtectin’ mommy and you from spiders and other creepy crawlers.

 

 Raena eats treats on cat tree

 

 

          Yeah, sure. Whatever you say sissy. I’s just happy we got some special time with mommy. We are indeed blest.

 

We most certainly are Raena. And, one of our angels sent some green papers fur mommy to get somethin’ special fur all of us. We sure did purreciate it. We’ll tell ya’ all ‘bout that shoppin’ trip later.

 

          Hey sissy, did you see the card mommy got from another bloggin’ angel? She had been blest by somepawdy and wanted to pass it along. We furgot to ask ‘bout name droppin’, but she knows who she is, and we’re sendin’ fanky fanks and hugs your way. 

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree and looks down

 

 

We have the bestest furiends in the universe Raena. Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and pawrt of our furmily. We’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. Each new day brings new blessings ifin we’ll just stop and see ‘em. We’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies too. C’mon Raena, let’s go play. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Closed Doors & Belly Rubs

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. Can you believe it’s already Furiday? We got some great questions on our Service Cat Monday posty this week. We can’t wait to meow more ‘bout it. So, be sure and tune in each Monday, as we share Trainin’ Tips, Tricks and Techniques fur trainin’ your little fur balls. Mommy says we should’a took a poll after Wednesday’s posty. We were sur-purrised how many of ya’ aren’t accompanied to the bathroom by your kitties. And sissy and I’s was shocked to hear how many closed doors some of you kitties encounter. 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay together on the floor

 

 

          What are you meowin’ ‘bout now Raena? 

 

I’s meowin’ ‘bout the closed doors and purrivacy some of our furiends have. 

 

          Don’t be meowin’ ‘bout that Raena, mommy might get some crazy ideas that she can shut us out. One closed door is one too many. 

 

 

 Closed door clip art

 

 

I’s sooooooo agree sissy. I’s never even seen what’s behind that closed door in the bedroom. Does it go somewhere? Is there a window fur squirrel tv in there? Maybe mommy’s hidin’ another kitty in there?. 

 

          No, Raena. There ain’t nuffin’ that x’citin’ behind that there door. It’s just a closet where mommy hangs her good clothes and stores things we don’t use everyday.

 

A closet sissy? I’s never seen a closet. Why would mommy wanna keep us out? 

 

 Open door clip art

 

 

 

 

          Me doesn’t know Raena. Me’s actually ran in befur when mommy’s opened the door, but she always ketches me befur me gets too far in and puts me back out. Ya’ gotta be fast and stealthy to get one over on mommy. 

 

Well, I’s gonna purractice mine’s stealthy so the next time mommy opens that door, I’s can run passed her and check it out.

 

 

 Dezi bathes paw while laying on Yeowww nip toy

 

 

          (Dezi licks her paw and wipes her face as she meows sarcastically) Yeah, you do that Raena.

 

Hey sissy, who was that lady that came over yesfurday? Did you hear her askin’ mommy ifin we were skittish? What did she mean by that? What does skittish mean, sissy?

 

Dezi sniffs nip toys

 

 

          She’s a nurse that comes out twice a year. Mommy’s never unnerstood why she has to have a nurse come out that does the same thing as her case manager. She asks the same questions and writes the same repurrt. Mommy just thinks it’s kind’a crazy to have two peeps doin’ the same job, and a big waste of tax payer dollars. But, that’s how it goes when you’re dealin’ with the government. Me has no idea why she thought we were skittish. We both came out and gave her a good sniff over befur ploppin’ down and playin’. 

 

 Raena lays belly up on the floor

 

 

You did lay it on a bit thick sissy. Rollin’ ‘round on the nip toys and showin’ off. 

 

 Dezi rolls around on nip toys

 

 

          Well at least me didn’t go all belly up and beg fur tummy rubs, like some kitty. Me can’t believe you let that lady rub your belly.

 

 Raena lays belly up on the floor

 

 

I’s didn’t do that sissy. It was hot, and I’s was just tryin’ to cool off. Besides, I’s have so much fur, she never even touched me. Meowin’ of, do you think it’s cool enuff fur mommy to take us fur a stroll this weekend? 

 

          Who knows? But, it never hurts to ask.  

 

 Dezi and Raena playing on floor

 

 

Well, let’s go ask then. I’s’ll race ya’. Ready…Set…(Raena zooms down the hall towards mommy and meows over her shoulder) GO!!!

Chatting Cats: Who Needs Privacy

(Dezi hears rumbling and the pitter patter of rain drops falling through the vent hood on the oven and starts to head back towards the bedroom. Mommy sees her and calmly says

 

 Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

     Dezi, honey, please stay up here with me and Raena. 

 

 Raena lounges on perch and watches the rain out the front door

 

(Raena jumps up on the small perch sitting in front of the door and looks out. She turns back and begins to mew)

Sissy, it’s okay, it’s not a full blown storm, just a few rain drops. You know how much mommy hates it when you hide out under the bed all day. 

 

          Me’s not hidin’ Raena!!! Me’s checkin’ fur spiders and other varmints to keep you and mommy safe.

 

 Raena lays on small perch and looks out at the rain

 

 

Well, don’t you think you’d have found them already? Ya’ know, ifin there was anythin’ to find? You’s been under the bed most of the week. 

 

Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

          You never know Raena. Somethin’ could’a crawled in just now. And you know what a fraidy cat mommy is when it comes to spiders and other varmints.

 

 

Yep, mommy’s fraidy meter is off the charts when she sees those creepy crawlers. Hey, do you ‘member the other day when we were readin’ one of our furiends bloggys? You know the one, Bear cat and his new sisfur Ellie May?

 

          Yeah, what ‘bout it?

 

 Raena lays on shower bench and watches mommy pour litter in litter boxes

 

 

Well, you know how they were meowin’ ‘bout closed bathroom doors and how they wanted to be in there with their mommy to “watch”. I’s can’t believe she actually closed the door on them. Mommy better not get any ideas ’bout tryin’ that here. Anyways, you told them, their mommy was lucky that all they wanted to do was watch. Just what did you mean by that?

 

 Dezi lays in house of Liberty cat tree

 

 

          You know what me meant Raena. You take the cake when it comes to watchin’ mommy in the bathroom. Mommy’s always jokin’ ‘bout how she’s not had any bathroom purrivacy in well over 40 years. Most peeps with kitties can relate to that. But you take it another step further. 

 

I’s just tryin’ to be helpful sissy. You know, we’re Service Cats. It’s our job to help mommy with everythin’ so she can keep livin’ independently.

 

Dezi looks down from atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

          Yes Raena, we are Service Cats, and it is our job to help mommy. But trust me when me says, mommy doesn’t need your help to wipe her purrivates. 

 

Says who, sissy, you? Mommy helps us sometimes, I’s just tryin’ to return the favor.

 

          Oh Raena. Don’t you think ifin mommy needed your help, she wouldn’t be sayin’ things like, “RaenaBelle, get your paw out from under my hoohah”, or “Raena, leave my toilet paper alone.

 

 Raena lays on shower bench

 

 

She’s just tryin’ to be brave sissy. She always pats mine’s head and paws when I’s help. 

 

          Raena, she ain’t pettin’ you, she’s tryin’ to shoo you away. Anyways, me was tryin’ to tell awnty Kat, that she was lucky that all Bear and Ellie wanna do is watch. Even mommy says she’s never seen a kitty so enthralled in the purrocess that they stick their paws up there to try to help their human clean up. Who knew you’d go from unrollin’ the toilet paper to tryin’ to use it? You sure are a funny kitty sometimes. 

 

I’s gonna go tell mommy that you’re makin’ fun of me sissy. We’ll see then who gets the last laugh.

 

 Dezi plays

 

          Me’s not makin’ fun of ya’ Raena. Me’s tryin’ to help teach you what you’s s’posed to help with and not. C’mon, let’s go play befur the thunder boomers come back thru.

 

Raena bats the track ball whie looking down at her collar bells

 

 

I’s right behind ya’ sissy. Let’s see ifin mommy will give us some silvervine or nip to roll ‘round in.
