Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Guess what? I’s got to go fur a stroll yesfurday. And, I’s got to meet the neighbor, Nubs. He’s a real nice kitty boy and very hospitable. We met thru the mesh of mine’s stroller. And, nokitty hissed, not even once. We exchanged sniffs and meows and settled in to let our mommy’s chat.
Ya’ll even took him some noms, didn’t ya’ Raena?
That we did sissy. We had some wet food pouches we wouldn’t eat, so we passed ‘em along to him. And, we took him some new noms from Halo. Occasionally, they send us new purroducts to try out and review fur them. They have a new food out that mommy thought was a continuation of their freeze dried line. She was really anxious fur us to try it. But, when it got here, mommy realized it was nuffin’ more than a grain free kibble.
Y, Here’s Nubs now, posin’ with the Halo Kibble.
Yeah, we were all a bit disappointed by that. It’s not like we’re gonna eat any kibble even ifin mommy was actually gonna let us have it.
To be fair sissy, you did get really sick from eatin’ kibble. And, mommy did give us a couple pieces each as a treat. We’re the ones who chose not to eat ‘em.
You’re right Raena, me did get really bad sick from that pawful fur ya’ kibble. So me wasn’t ‘bout to try those kibble bits. Maybe Nubs’ll like ‘em.
Maybe. Hey, did you hear? We’ve got a lady locked in a box? I’s heard Simon meowin’ ‘bout somethin’ similar.
Yeah Raena, me heard her. Me hasn’t found her yet tho’, have you?
I’s think she’s sittin’ on the table beside the chair, sissy. Sometimes, she seems to ramble on fur no reason at all. Guess somepawdy thought mommy was lonely and that the lady might help keep her company. I’s sure hope nopawdy gets wind that we’ve got a lady locked up. Mommy could be in real trouble. I’s think it might be illegal to keep a lady in a box.
It is, Raena. But, me doesn’t think that’s the case. After all, ifin Simon has one too, it must be okay. And, me keeps hearin’ the teevee talkin’ ‘bout peeps ownin’ their very own lady in a box. And, she sounds happy. Maybe she’s like a genie in a bottle, only she’s a lady in a box?. Maybe her box is all tricked out and nice and comfy. Ya’ know, we luv a good box. Maybe, the lady does too.
She might sissy. Anyways, we say fanky fanks to whoever sent us a lady in a box. As soon as I’s figger out fur sure where she is, I’s’ll let you all know. I’s gotta be quiet tho’ or she’ll wake up and start yammerin’ on again. Meowin’ of boxes, several of ya’ have asked ‘bout the new neighbor who moved in with just a bed, the same day the new old neighbors moved out. She is fur sure a new neighbor. And she really does have only a bed and a teevee. She also has one of those smarty pants fones. We didn’t see the teevee go in, but she told mommy she had one when she asked ifin she was too loud. ‘Pawrently, she’s a bit hard of hearin’. She told mommy that all her stuffs was up in Muskogee at her ex-boyfuriend’s house. After 11 years she decided to move out and had been stayin’ with a furiend in Ringling. Yep, same as the circus. Anyways, she was in a hurry to move in cuz the furiend also lives in ‘pawrtments similar to ours and only allows guests fur 7 days a month. She’d been there 2 months and the furiend was gettin’ in trouble.
She seems nice ‘nuff Raena. But she does spend a lot of time sittin’ on the purrch. She also told mommy she hoped to move the rest of her stuffs in next month. In the meantime, she does have family and furiends ‘round here that she can visit and wash her clothes. She doesn’t look like she’s missin’ any meals and even suggested mommy and her have ribeyes one night. Mommy ‘splained she didn’t make that kind of money. So, ‘pawrently she’s not as poor as we are. Anyways, that’s the mews ‘bout the new neighbor.
We better wrap this up and get some play in sissy. Maybe, we can even meow mommy into takin’ us fur a stroll later. It’s coolin’ off a bit here, so evenin’ strolls are kind’a nice. We also wanna remind everypawdy there’s still time to enter the give away fur that pawsum Scratcher we reviewed. Just click here. We’ll be havin’ another give away soon, so stay tuned.
Raena!!! Stop runnin’ into me and get outta me’s brekky plate. Eat your own noms.
I’s sorry sissy, mine’s eyes keep gobbin’ up and I’s can’t see so good. Besides, the noms taste better in you plate.
You have the same noms in your plate. Mommy says,… we both get the same thing. (Dezi meows quietly under her breath) And me knows we do, cuz me eats from your plate all the time. (Dezi turns and meows to Raena) Sorry ‘bout your eyes, me heard mommy talkin’ ‘bout a V E T visit fur ya’.
I’s was a itty bitty kitty girl back then. The harness
was way too big fur me.
I’s heard that sissy. You know, the pawrt ‘bout you eatin’ mine’s noms. Ifin it’s okay fur you to eat mine’s noms, then it’s okay fur me to eat yours. Fanky fanks to awnty Vonda, amazon and Chewy, we only had to go 1 day without our yummy noms. As fur the V E T, I’s thinkin’, I’s might not mind. It’s been a long time since I’s last visited a V E T, I’s can barely ‘member it. Besides, mommy got stabbed at her doctors visit the other day and she said it didn’t hurt at all. Maybe, they’ll skip stabbin’ me cuz of mine’s eyes. I’s can hope, right?
Me wasn’t so little, and me doesn’t ever wanna go back. MOL
Yep Raena, we sure are blest. Me will purray they skip the stabbin’ ya’ too. See, me’s a good sissy. Me’s not sure what mommy tried to get us to eat on Fursday, but me sure was glad to see mr. Fedex.
Me too sissy. Seems we have a new driver, and when he brought our box, he wouldn’t let go of it till mommy purroved who she was. He said the GPS wouldn’t bring up our address and that he’d tried to deliver our noms to the baseball pawrk furst.
It’s a good thing nopawdy was out there, they might’a stole our noms.
That would’a been pawful sissy. Ya’ know that silly address change our town went thru a few years back was s’posed to make it easier to find us. ‘Stead, all it does is confuse everypawdy, even the 911 peeps arent’ sure where they’re goin’ these days.
Yeah Raena, not all change is good. Hey, what do you think ‘bout the new furiend mommy said we have?
What new furiend sissy? I’s didn’t get to meet any new furiends.?
Me neither, silly. But you sniffed mommy’s hands fur the longest time when she came back in from her visit. She said she met the cutest little manx kitty boy named Nubs. She said she saw him sittin’ in the window of one of the ‘pawrtments out here, so she went by to say hi. She said he and his purrson were both really nice.
Oh, that furiend. Yep sissy, he smelled like a nice kitty. I’s sure hope the next time mommy goes to visit she’ll take me with her. Maybe he’d like to play.
Maybe Raena. Mommy said she asked ifin mr. Nubs might wanna try the noms we get to try out but won’t eat. It’s always nice when we can pass along a blessin’ to someone else who doesn’t have much. Ms. A and Nubs said they’d luv too. Ms. A said Nubs was an escape artist who luvved to dart out the door when it opened.
I’s don’t know why any kitty would wanna run outside without their purrson. The outside world is so scary and full of terrible dangers. But, I’s glad we can help Nubs out. We are such blest kitty girls to be able to try so many new things. We’ve got some really great things we’re tryin’ out this month.
We sure do Raena. Me’s already seen one thing fur sure Nubs is gonna get. Meowin’ of pawsum new things, we need to go play with one of those new toys so mommy can get some fotos fur our review. And did you know the company’s gonna let us host a give away too? Me luvs give aways.
I’s do too, sissy. We haven’t had one fur a while now, so this is gonna be great fun. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday selfies and go play.
Sounds good Raena. Furst, we wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. There’s been so much tragedy the last few months. And, altho’ our hearts break thinkin’ ‘bout all those that have been affected, we are so blest to live in the greatest Country in the world. We’re blest to have so many amazin’ furiends, and a mommy who luvs and adores us.
Sure ‘nuff sissy. And have we ever been Blessed. As most of ya’ know, we recently had visitors. Today, we’re gonna wrap up that visit. Ifin ya’ missed pawrt 1, you can read it here. Now, let’s get on with our visit.
Hey Gizmo, mine’s name is RaenaBelle.
We’ve had several peeps remawrk ‘bout how well we did havin’ Gizmo the kitty visit with us Raena. We should admit that there was a couple of hisses and one growl. We’re not meowin’ who did the hissin’ or the growlin’, since there was no fightin’ or whacky paws involved. Mommy says it was mostly pawsturin’ and lettin’ each other know when one was a bit too close fur comfurt. Ya’ know, it may be our nature to sniff backsides, but that doesn’t mean the sniffee actually enjoys it. Fur the most pawrt, we had a great and uneventful visit, kitties and humans too. Our Southern hospitality shined.
I’s luvs mine’s mommy.
Yeah sissy, awnty Mary Beth took lots of fotos of me and you with mommy. You know how happy that made mommy. She always says she doesn’t have many fotos of her with us. I’s could’a done with a good brushin’ tho’, cuz mine’s neck ruff was a bit wild. But, I’s really don’t care. I’s just luvs it when mommy holds me, ruffled furs or not.
Fotos with mommy. Me’s all in.
Yep Raena, and you just luv the camera. MOL
Is that pizza? Hmmmm Now where’s mine’s plate?
Well sissy, you missed what happened next cuz of those noisy thunder boomers. Uncle Garth left fur a few minutes and when he returned, he brought in a pizza. Oh Kittens Did it ever smell delishus. But then, the worst thing that could’a happened, happened. Mommy didn’t even fix me a plate. Nope, not even a snack plate. ‘Stead, mommy, awnty Mary Beth and uncle Garth sat there eatin’ OUR PIZZA!!! Can you believe it? I’s sure couldn’t. Don’t they know that pizzas are kitty food? Not to mention, pizza is our favorite food. I’s tried to help mine’s self to a slice, but I’s couldn’t balance on the wheelchair arm and open the box at the same time. So, I’s gave ‘em the ole kitty evil eye.
Yep, that’s pizza. Yummmmmmm The smell’s divine.
Well Raena, did it work?
I’s’ll just help mine’s self.
Hey! Just who do ya’ll think you are? Don’t you know any pizza
that comes in this house belongs to us cats?
Not very well. Least, they did leave us a piece each. Like that was gonna fill us up. Hmmmpht Even worse, mommy didn’t save us any of the pepperoni’s off the pieces she ate. I’s mean, she ate every last bite, just like we weren’t even there. The nerve. I’s tellin’ ya’, I’s just couldn’t believe mine’s own blue eyes. All mine’s Southern Belle hospitality flew right out the window when that happened. You know, Southern Hospitality can only go so far. And then, they wanted to take luvvy dovey fotos with me. Hmmmpht Like that was gonna happen. MOL
Alright awnty Mary Beth, one kiss…just one I’s said.
Oh Raena, mommy takes really good care of us. Just cuz we didn’t get 1 pizza shouldn’t make you act ugly. We did get a piece later. And besides, we luv awnty Mary Beth, uncle Garth and Gizmo. Me was very purroud of you fur sharin’ the cat tree with him. And lettin’ awnty Mary Beth and uncle Garth hold you. Me was also purroud of ya’, that you didn’t get all jealous when mommy gave Gizzy some luvvin’.
Hmmmmmm I’s thinkin’ men, a daddy to be purrcise,
might not be so bad after all. Mommmmmmmy…?
Of course I’s didn’t get jealous sissy. After all, he never took off his jacket (harness), so I’s knew he wasn’t actually stayin’. And, I’s know mommy has purrlenty of luvvin’ to go ‘round. Cousin Gizzy seemed to like the scent me up game too. Mommy said his motor boat started right up. I’s surpurrised he didn’t float right off her lap.
Purrrrrrrrrrrr Love ya’ autny A
Hmmmpht You know better Raena. Mommy’s hold may look gentle, but she’s got a furm grasp on any kitty she holds. They ain’t goin’ anywhere lessen she wants ‘em too. MOL Me sure hated that they had to leave so soon. Cuz of those thunder boomers, me missed sayin’ goodbye. So me looked fur them all day the next day.
Me too sissy. Our visit was way too short. I’s sure hope they can come back.
Yep Raena. Ya’ know, we never ‘magined meetin’ any of our online furiends when we started all this. But, we have been so blessed that we’ve actually met quite a few of them. We’re always up fur a visit from our amazin’ furiends and wish we could meet you all. We’re sure hopin’ we can manage to go to BlogPaws this next year. It’s really close to us, so we’d hate to miss it. You’d have a great time Raena. Sis Lexi and me really had a blast the year we went.
I’s luvs ya’ awnty Mary Beth, even ifin ya’ didn’t share your pizza with me.
And we could meet more furiends? (Dezi nods to Raena) I’s would luvs that sissy. In the meantime, anypawdy who wants to come and see us…Come on down, Southern hospitality at Deziz World reigns.
Uncle Garth, Awnty Mary Beth and mommy A
Sure ‘nuff Raena, even ifin we don’t get a pizza. MOL We wanna fank uncle Garth, awnty Mary Beth and Gizmo fur comin’ to see us and fur everythin’. They’ve been really good to us. Ya’ know, they sent us our kitty beds, toys and green papers and all kinds of goodies thru the years. Mostly, they’ve luvved us and our mommy. We are so blest to have so many pawsum furiends. And yep, YOU, yes you readin’ this posty are one of them. Fank you so much fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives. We luv you very much. We think ‘bout and purray fur all our furiends every day, you included. Like we always do, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. Maybe, we’re one of ‘em.
Gizmo’s selfie
I’s couldn’t have meowed it better mine’s self sissy. We’d also like to say, we think (paws crossed) the car’s fixed. Mommy ordered the pawrt and the neighbor boy put it on fur us this past week. Mommy’s still gotta make a few more short test drives just to be on the safe side, but we’re purretty sure, the car is good to go. We’ll keep ya’ posted. Mommy was shocked at the cost of oil and anti-freeze. So, mine’s VET ‘pointment is on hold fur a bit. Fanky fank you all fur your purrayers and good wishes. They do help. Ifin you could spare a purrayer fur our awnty Ellen and her Phoebe cat from 15 and Meowing, we’d purreciate it. We’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We’re gonna go play now.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Most of ya’ have expurressed an interest in hearin’ ‘bout our recent guests. We’re so x’cited to meow ‘bout it; so grab your coffee, tea or drink of your choice and read on. We’re runnin’ really late, but wait’ll ya’ see all the fotos. We really do luv meetin’ our furiends. Ifin we could, we would visit all of ya’ in the fur to fur/flesh. So, let me set the stage fur ya’.
Raena, me should set the stage. After all, they were me’s furiends furst. So, it went somethin’ like this: A few weeks ago mommy got an email from awnty Mary Beth, who lives in Arizona. She said her, uncle Garth and our sweet furiend Gizmo were comin’ our way and wanted to pay us a visit. Mommy squealed with delight and told Raena and me we had a surpurrise comin’ on September 17th. We thought the 17th was never gonna get here. But alas, the day furinally came and Raena and me set up on the cat tree to watch fur our surpurrise.
We sure did sissy. but, as the day went by, you got tired of waitin’ and went to the back to take a nap. See sissy? I’s didn’t say anythin’ ‘bout the thunder boomers. Anyways, I’s kept mine’s watch out the door, even tho’ I’s didn’t know what I’s was watchin’ fur. Minutes turned into hours and hours into days. Okay, so maybe that’s stretchin’ it a bit, but it seemed like furever. Furinally, mommy jumped up and said, “Dezi!!! Raena!!! They’re here!!!” And then she jumped up and opened the door. Once everypawdy came inside and sat down, I’s headed over to meet mine’s new furiend.

Yep Raena, and then mommy came to wake me up so me could come and visit too. Me could hardly believe me’s awnty Mary Beth, uncle Garth and Gizmo were actually sittin’ in me’s house. MeOWwwwww Me knows sis Lexi would’a luvved to meet ‘em, so me had to say an extra hey cuz she couldn’t be here. ‘Course, mommy wanted to do a lot of talkin’, so me went to lay on the cat tree and let them do their human stuffs.
Hey Gizmo, mine’s name is RaenaBelle. So nice to meet ya’.
Wanna play on our cool cat tree?
Yep sissy, humans sure do like to talk don’t they?. Unfurtunately, it had been threatenin’ to storm all day, and the thunder boomers started rumblin’ thru shortly after they got here.
Awnty Mary Beth and Gizmo
They sure did Raena. With all the extra peeps in the house, me had to go make absolutely sure there were no spiders or any other pesky pests that were gonna get anypawdy.

Sure sissy, whatever you say. It’s just too bad you spent most of the day UTB (under the bed). Gizmo and I had lots of fun. We hung out on the cat tree getting’ our fotos taken. Did you know mommy offured him one of our Yeowww nip nanners? Gizzy was a little to nervous to let loose and enjoy the goodness of the nip nanner. So, mommy sent it home with him fur all of his fursibs to enjoy. We don’t mind sharin’, ‘specially since mommy bought us extra with the money awnty Vonda had sent fur your birthday last year. You know, we think every kitty oughtta have the joy of a Yeowww nip nanner at least once in their lives. Awnty Mary Beth said Gizzy’s not too crazy ‘bout his harness and that’s why he wouldn’t let loose and play. I’s offured to put mine’s harness on ifin it would make him more comfurtable.
That sure was nice of ya’ Raena.

Well sissy, it was the least I’s could do. Mommy shared her cofee with uncle Garth. And you know I’s wanna be just like mommy.
Mommy didn’t actually share her coffee Raena, she made uncle Garth a cup of coffee all his own.
That’s what I’s meant sissy. Kittens!!! Ya’ think I’s said they were drinkin’ outta the same cup. Hmmpht Anyways, you’re never gonna believe what happened next…
Stay tuned, we’ll be back with the rest of the story Sunday. T’ween the hunnerd fotos mommy took and the 157 fotos awnty Mary Beth took, we’re tryin’ to show as many as we can without goin’ overboard. But, that’s a lot of fotos and mommy’s eyes started crossin’ lookin’ at ’em all. MOL
