Chatting Cats: The Internet’s What…

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Meowllo? Is anypawdy in here? Sissy, come here, I’s need your help. Purrleeeeease…Nuffin’ be workin’. I’s can’t get anythin’ on this machine to work. I’s tried all the browsers and I’s pushed buttons that I’s don’t even know what they’re fur…and nuffin’. What’s wrong with it sissy? 

 

Dezi lays with arm hanging over edge of the liberty cat tree while Raena bathes on the shelf below her.

 

 

 

          Why are you askin’ me Raena? How should me know what’s up with the computer? Why don’t you ask mommy?

 

She’s busy. She keeps pokin’ a pin in that box with all the lights (modem) and tryin’ to call somepawdy, sissy. 

 

 

Dezi lays on small perch

 

 

 

          (Mommy A finally picks up the cell phone to call the internet provider after trying to reset the modem numerous times to no avail. The automated system picks up and asks a lot of questions, altho’ the opportunity to speak with a live person isn’t one of them.)  Uh Oh Raena, me has a feelin’ this day just went from bad to worse. Mommy hates talkin’ to those silly machines. And did you hear it tell her that a live operator wouldn’t have any more infurmation than it did? Seems the innernet’s out all over ‘round here. Guess it’s a good thing we got that smarty pants fone or we wouldn’t know that even. 

 

Raena lays on cat tree after surgery

 

 

 

The innernet’s out?!! What do you mean the innernet’s out?!! How does that even happen? What are all our furiends doin’? How are we s’posed to check our mail, or edit our fotos or get our posty out? How are we gonna survive? We neeeeeeeed the innernet, sissy. I’s got plans to make and things to do and… 

 

          Slow down Raena and take a deep breath. Furst of all, the whole innernet ain’t out all over the world, just ours. Well, and maybe everypawdy within a hunnerd miles of us. And, the silly machine said they’re aware of it and they’re tryin’ to fix it. So, hopefully it’ll be back on soon. Most ‘purrtantly, our furiends will unnerstand. These things just happen sometimes, and there’s nuffin’ we could’a done to stop it. Hopefully, it won’t be out long. 

 

How can you be so calm, sissy? I’s still have so much left to do to get ready fur your pawrty next week. 

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party inviteThere’s still time to send in your pawrty fotos.

 

 

 

          Me really ‘purreciates all the work you’re puttin’ into me’s pawrty Raena, but me’s sure it’s gonna be great. Me never wanted you to be so stressed out. Me wants you to enjoy it too. Ya’ know, cuz you didn’t really get to have a pawrty fur your special day this year, me was thinkin’ we could both enjoy this bash, ‘specially since you’re feelin’ better. 

 

Y, Fanky fank you sissy. That sure is nice of you to share your catabration with me. 

 

Dezi looks outside door from the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          ‘Course RaenaBelle, what are big susfurs fur?. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) Besides, mommy would make me share whether me wants to or not. Anyways, (Dezi turns and meows to Raena) Me’s sure there’ll be purrlenty of food and fun fur everyone.  (Mommy A picks up Dezi and puts her in her harness) MeOW  Wait a minute, where are we goin’? The last kitty out that door didn’t come back lookin’ too good. Me’s not goin’…Hisssssssss 

 

Raena sits on cat tree and looks to the side

 

 

 

I’s wanna go, take me mommy. Me, me meeeeeeeeeow. 

 

          Ah, votin’. ‘kay, me doesn’t mind goin’ then. You can’t go till your eyes are all better Raena. Mommy doesn’t wanna take any chances with infection ‘n stuffs. Don’t worry, we won’t be long, we’re just goin’ up the street. (A short time later, Dezi and mommy A return from the polls with news

          RaenaBelle, oh, there you are. Hey we heard the innernet’s out till some time tomorrow (Wednesday). We ran into the innernet fixer at the polls and he said they had a transfurmer out and had to order a pawrt. So, c’mon, let’s go play with our nanners.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Okay sissy, just let me try to figger out how to make a facebutt posty with the smarty pants fone. 

 

Dezi rolls on Yeowww nip toy

 

 

 

          You’ve been workin’ on that all day Raena, just give it up. Our fone’s too smart to let us open facebutt. Quit downloadin’ apps ya’ gotta turn ‘round and delete. We’ll have our computer back tomorrow. Till then, we can live like we did befur tech invaded our house. C’mon, me will show ya’ how. 

 

I’s comin’ sissy. Kittens!!! I’s can’t believe peeps once lived without tech. (Raena shakes her head while trying to imagine what it would be like to not have computers and technology)

Chatting Cats: Preparing For Raena’s Surgery

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle!!! Sorry I’s screamin’, but I’s can’t hear mine’s self think over the rumblin’ thunder. But, you’ll be happy to know, sis Dezi be hangin’ with mommy and me. Okay, so maybe she’s pacin’ the floor a bit, but at least she hasn’t made a bee line fur UTB (under the bed). (Raena looks around the room from her perch on the back of mommy’s chair just as a loud, long thunder clap rolls by.) Uh, sissy, where you’d go? C’mon sissy, you know there’s nuffin’ to be ‘fraid of. 

Raena's profile looking curiously atop the cat tree

 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

          Me’s not afraid Raena, me just needed to check on somethin’. Me thought me saw a monster head unner the bed.  (Dezi saunters back to the living room)

 

Hmmmpht  Maybe it was the slobber monster. Oh wait, that’s you, you’re the slobber monster. I’s can’t believe you soaked mommy and me with your purr slobbers this meownin’. We were sleepin’ so peacefully when you woke us up slobberin’ all over the place. Yuck!!! 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher and looks back over her shoulder

 

 

 

          Ah, What’s a little luv slobber t’ween sisfurs, right Raena? Besides, mommy needed to get up anyways. 

 

Luvs slobber? That’s what we’re callin’ it now? (Raena shakes her head) Purrlease, I’s would purrfur you keep your slobber to yourself. Anyways…

 

 

Flexible e-collar

 

 

          Whatever. Are you ready fur tomorrow Raena? Me saw your new pink collar that mommy got fur you to wear. 

 

 

Flexible e-collar

 

Yeah, I’s not wearin’ that thing sissy. Anyways, mommy said it was a just in case collar. She said I’s may not even need it. 

 

          True Raena, but that’s only ifin you can keep your paws away from your eyes. We all know You’re not gonna be able to do that.

 

Raena scratcher behind her ear atop the cat tree

 

 

We don’t all know that sissy. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. As fur bein’ ready, I’s guess I’s as ready as any kitty can be, considerin’. Ya’ know, I’s don’t zactly know what’s gonna happen. All I’s know is that we won’t be gettin’ any sleep cuddles tonight, no late night snacks and we have to be at doctor stabby and grabby’s place by 8:30 in the meownin’. I’s can feel mommy’s tension growin’, but I’s don’t really unnerstand why. 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree looking out door

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me can feel it too. Me knows she’s worried cuz you didn’t do so well with the anesthesia durin’ your spay day. Fankfully, we have lots of furiends that’ll be purrayin’ fur you to come thru surgery just fine and have a speedy and full recovery. 

 

Raena lays atop the cat tree looking over-raspberry

 

 

I’s so ‘purreciate all the luvs, suppurrt and purrayers our furiends are sendin’ sissy. They’re the bestest. Hey, ya’ wanna go play? I’s might not feel like playin’ tomorrow. 

 

          Sure Raena, me will play with you today. But, be nice. No jumpin’ on me, okay?    

 

Raena bathes atop the liberty cat tree with her tongue out

 

 

 

Of course sissy, I’s won’t jump on you. (Raena meows while crossing her paws behind her back) By the way, Happy Birthday Dezi, I’s luvs you. Furiends, don’t furget to send us your fotos fur sissy’s Carnival pawrty on November 14th.

Chatting Cats: Playful Planning Banter

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s know it ain’t Blest Sunday yet, but I’s sure do wanna fanky fank all of you fur your luvs and suppurrt. Ya’ know, it really warms this little kitty girls’ heart to have so many peeps care ‘bout me. Mommy was talkin’ to her counselor the other day ‘bout mine’s humble beginnings and how I’s had known nuffin’ but a stinky old cage till she came along and bailed me out. I’s don’t really like to think ‘bout all that anymore, cuz I’s livin’ the good life now. I’s got a luvvin’ mommy and the bestest big sisfur ever. Ya’ know, she’s been so nice to me lately, I’s started wonderin’ ifin somethin’ was up. Ya’ know, like ifin she was tryin’ to sell me off on the kittycats list or trade me in fur another model. 

 

Dezi and Raena lay on cat tree looking out door

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle Mayce!!! Don’t be tellin’ peeps me’s tryin’ to get rid of you. You know that ain’t true. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) Besides, mommy would never let it happen. 

 

I’s didn’t say you did it sissy, just that I’s worried you might. You never let me jump on you without hissin’, till the other day. So, you can see why I’s might think somethin’ was up…Right? 

   

Dezi and RAena lay on cat tree and Dezi looks out door

 

 

 

          No, me’s been nice to you befur. Me’s always nice. Anyways, let’s meow ‘bout somethin’ else. Me’s so ready to see mr. Sunshine again, how ‘bout you? 

 

Yeah sissy, I’s getting’ tired of all the gray. Altho’ I’s did see a few squirrels the other day. Mommy says they’re gatherin’ up their winter supply of nuts. I’s say, ifin they’d just come a little closer, they wouldn’t have to worry ‘bout winter, they’d be on our plates fur dinner. MOL 

 

Dezi looks out door from cat tree while Raena lays under her

 

 

 

          Like mommy would ever let that happen Raena. Mommy won’t let us walk ‘round on the dirty ground. She fur sure ain’t lettin’ us get all dirty killin’ some squirrel. Hmmmpht  Can you ‘magine the bath we’d get after somethin’ like that?  

 

Oooooh Maybe we could have a bubble bath sissy. I’s saw that on tv the other night and it looked like so much fun. Bubbles were everywhere and the peeps were slippin’ and slidin’ all over the place. You know how much I’s luvs a good slide. 

 

Dezi lays on the cat tree

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, we all know how much you like to slide everywhere. Me thinks it’s only second to your tv watchin’. Me’s never known a kitty that liked to watch the boob tube as much as you. 

 

 

You can learn so much from tv sissy. 

 

Dezi wipes eyes atop cat tree Oh Me. That girl and her tv.

 

 

 

          Yeah, me isn’t so sure those are the kinds of things you wanna learn.

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party invite

 

 

 

Well sissy, ifin I’s hadn’t been watchin’ tv I’s wouldn’t know how to throw you a pawsum birthday/gotchaday pawrty. I’s so x’cited I’s can’t hardly wait.

 

          Me too Raena. It is me’s pawrty. Hey, what band did you get to play at the pawrty?

   

 

 

It’s a surpurrise sissy. Ifin I’s told ya’ everythin’, it wouldn’t be as much fun. Don’t worry, you’re gonna luv ‘em. (Raena runs to the computer and posts an ad) I’s got everythin’ unner control. 

 

 

Band Ad for Dezi's party

 

 

 

          Okay Raena, me’s puttin’ a lot of trust in ya’, don’t let me down. 

 

I’s tellin’ ya’ sissy, don’t worry, I’s got this. Right now tho’, I’s could use a little nap, how ‘bout you? 

 

          Sounds good to me, Raena. Me can have sweet dreams of me’s upcomin’ pawrty.

Chatting Cats: 12 Amazing And Fabulous Facts

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Hey sissy, I’s think we got a new neighbor. I’s saw peeps cartin’ stuffs in to that ‘pawrtment on the end there fur the last couple of days. I’s sure hope all their stuffs didn’t get soaked durin’ the storms. Can you ‘magine sittin’ on a soppy wet chair? Ugh (Raena shudders and turns back to look out the door again.) I’s bet it would stink too. 

 

Dezi lays in chair while Raena gets down behind her

 

 

 

          Actually Raena, me can ‘magine it. Our ‘pawrtment flooded a few years back and everythin’ was wet and yucky. It took furever to get the management peeps to do their job and get us dried out. Are you sure you saw ‘em carryin’ in furniture stuff? Ya’ know, it might just be somepawdy cleanin’ up the ‘pawrtment after the last purrson moved out. Anyways, me thought we were gonna play CK’s amazin’ facts game. 

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat treeI’s don’t know why you kitties don’t wanna purr along with mine’s business plan?.

 

 

 

Oh yeah. I’s just luvs learnin’ things ‘bout our furiends. I’s hope lots of kitties, woofies and peeps play along. Maybe I’s can even get mine’s next business idea from it. Ya’ know, the plans fur Purrs with a Purr-Puss aren’t goin’ so good. Lots of kitties don’t seem to wanna work. They’d rather give their purrs away fur a few measly treats. I’s keep tellin’ ‘em we could be rich, rich, rich and have tons of treats. Y, We could even make enuff green papers to buy our own treat farm. But no, no kitty seems innerested. And well, we can’t be every where ourselves, so looks like I’s need another plan. 

 

Raena lays on scratcher looking over her shoulderBack to the drawin’ board, Raena.

 

 

 

          Sorry ‘bout that Raena. Me did think that was your bestest idea so far. Anyways, let’s answer these questions and see what happens. Me’s sure you’ve got ideas just waitin’ to come out. Me will take the furst question.

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

1. What is your favorite day of the week?

          Truth is, we luv everyday. Mommy says each day we have together is a Blessing. But, me is pawrtial to Sundays cuz that’s the day we get to meow Fank you fur all our Blessings.

 

 

2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?

     It’s mine’s turn now sissy. Altho’, we don’t actually eat many strange things ‘round here. I’s think I’s might have eaten one of those crazy gnats once. And I’s have been known to eat a dried up left over piece of food that you spit out onto the floor. Other than that, we don’t really get many strange things here.

 

 

3. What small business would you like to start?

     Well, I’s tried to start up Purrs with a Purr-Puss. And, I’s not completely sure it’s a dead idea. But I’s will be lookin’ into other ventures. Maybe I’s could get peeps to pay us fur the honor of feedin’ treats to kitties. Or maybe… 

 

          Enuff Raena. Let’s move on to the next question.

 

 

4. What is the best food on a hot summer day?

          When it’s really hot, me doesn’t really wanna eat much. But, me has had a few licks of ice cream befur, and it was purretty tasty.

5. When have you had a small decision bring big consequences?

          Me fur sure wants to answer this one. The day me met mommy, me chose to go to her ‘stead of play with me’s 10 littermates. And cuz of that, mommy saved me’s life and brought me home with her to live and luv furever and ever.

 

 

6.What vegetable do you like?

     We’re kitties and obligate carnivores. We don’t like vegetables. Any vegetables. Come to think of it, is mommy an obligate carnivore too sissy? You know, she don’t really like veggies either. 

 

          That’s a good question Raena. Me has no idea. But, you’re right; mommy doesn’t like veggies.

 

 

7. Where are you most likely to be at 8:00 on a Saturday night?

          Anyways, it’s me’s turn. Ifin we’re on time, then we’ll be eatin’ at 8:00 on any night. Least that’s the case at this time of year. Now, in the winter time, we eat at 7:00 p.m.. You oughtta take the next one Raena. You’re the one that watches too much tv and uses all those silly terms you learn.

 

 

8. What slang word or phrase do you like to use?

     Are those slang words sissy? Hmmmmm I’s don’t really have a favorite. I’s hear mommy say somethin’ ‘bout kissin’ her lily white sometimes. Not sure what her lily white is, but…

 

 

 

9. Did you ever want to change your name? If so to what?

          Me would never wanna change me’s name. Mommy said the minute me chose her that me was her Destiny, and that’s what she named me. She just changed the spellin’ so me could be unique. 

 

I’s wouldn’t wanna change mine’s name either sissy. Since mine’s name means new beginnings, I’s think it’s purrfect.

 

 

10. What food do you crave?

          Rabbit!!! Me can meow fur both of us on this one. And pizza, we do luv a good pepperoni pizza.

 

 

Dezi and Raena eat Primal Freeze dried Cat food

 

 

 

11. If your life had a sound track what song would you pick for it?

          Mommy says our soundtraks would be, You are so Beautiful and Unchained Melody and… 

 

It’s mine’s turn sissy. Mine’s would be, Stand By Me and Walk Through This World With Me, and I’s think the soundtrak fur our family would be When You Say Nothing At All and The Keeper of the Stars. Yep, I’s think that’s it fur sure.

 

 

12. If you could have lunch with anyone living who would it be?

          This one’s easy peasy and would be the same fur all of us. We’d luv to have lunch with all of you, our dear furiends. 

 

Dezi atop the liberty cat tree with Raena sitting pretty on a lower ledge

 

You’re so right sissy. That would be such an amazin’ lunch. This has been lots of fun. ‘Course as always, when we get sentimental, we shed a few tears. Mommy says music speaks to the heart and can soothe the savage beastie.

 

          Me thinks that’s why she sings to us so much Raena. She’s tryin’ to calm you down. MOL  

 

Funny sissy, very funny. Let’s go play. I’s think you got a package fur one of your cat scout projects. And, we need to visit a few furiends durin’ the storm’s lull.
