Chatting Cats: Conversations Of The Week

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Seems it’s coolin’ off fur a lot of our furiends, and it was even in the 70’s here last night. Anyways, we were meowin’ with a furiend yesfurday ‘bout how we always complain ‘bout the weather. Ya’ know, either it’s too cold or it’s too hot. There never seems to be that happy place. Mommy says the truth is, humans in purrticular, no matter how happy, like to have somethin’ to complain ‘bout. So, even ifin the temps were just right, we’d still find somethin’ wrong with it. Anyways, enuff ‘bout the weather. Hey sissy, did you see mommy try to kill me last night? I’s couldn’t believe mine’s own eyes. Or maybe that’s it, she wasn’t gonna kill me, just maim me. 

 

Dezi looks up at Raena and hisses on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle Mayce!!! Don’t be meowin’ such things. Somepawdy might actually take you serious and try to take us away from mommy. And you know you don’t want that. Mommy would never hurt us, much less kill us; and she wasn’t tryin’ to kill or maim you last night. She didn’t know the clippy in her hair was gonna snap and send pieces flyin’ thru the air. It was just as much a shock to her as it was to you. Besides, none of the pieces got anywhere close to where you were layin’. But, maybe the universe is tryin’ to tell ya’ that you shouldn’t be layin’ on top of the pawtty box waitin’ to whap me’s tail.

 

Mine’s version sounded better, sissy. And I’s wasn’t waitin’ to whap your tail, I’s was waitin’ on mommy to get ready fur bed so she could carry me with her. I’s was just tryin’ to keep her from havin’ to bend over to pick me up. 

 

          Well how thoughtful of you Raena. Have you ever thought ‘bout walkin’ to the bed yourself? 

 

Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Why would I’s sissy, you don’t?. I’s learned everythin’ from you. And every night at bedtime, you wait fur mommy to carry you to the bed too. I’s thought you said that made mommy happy and made her feel needed? 

 

          Yeah Raena, to carry me, not you too. Anyways, Me doesn’t wanna meow ‘bout this any more. Me would like to take a nap. 

 

Cat diapers

You’ll have to stay tuned fur real fotos.

 

 

 

A NAP? How can you even think ‘bout takin’ a nap? Didn’t you see the package we just got? Mommy says they’re things fur you to review. I’s know they’re not fur me, cuz I’s a good girl and always use the pawtty box. I’s mean, it’s one thing fur mommy to call us her babies, but there’s no way in this world or any other you’d get me to wear one of Those things. Hmmmpht  I’s can’t wait to see you in ‘em. MOL 

 

          Yeah Raena, that ain’t happenin’. Mommy has another think comin’ ifin she even tries gettin’ near me with those things. Hmmmpht  

 

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see, huh sissy?. Are you gonna help me get ready fur our play date with Alberto and his family? Mommy said they could come over next week to play and meow ‘bout their book. I’s so x’cited, aren’t you? 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth open

 

 

 

          (Dezi yawns and stretches on the scratching pad) Sure Raena, really x’cited. Can’t wait. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) Maybe with all that company, me will get some alone time to take a purropurr beauty catnap.

 

I’s just luvs play dates. I’s wish we could have furiends over all the time., That would be so cool. Our furiend Valentine was just meowin’ ‘bout cat pawrks the other day. I’s think he might be on to somethin’. Can you ‘magine a kitty pawrk where we could roll ‘round on the grass and run ‘round and jump from place to place and climb trees and chase bugs and…

 

          You know mommy wouldn’t let you chase bugs or roll ‘round on the grass Raena. You know what a germaphobe she is. There aren’t enuff baby wipes in the world fur mommy to let us romp like that. Quite furankly, me couldn’t care less ‘bout doin’ that. Me much purrfurs the comfurt of our floor and tree and scratchers and bed and… 

 

Raena sits pretty on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

What happened to you sissy? You used to be such an adventure kitty. Mommy says you were always up fur anythin’, and now all you wanna do is lay ‘round and nap. 

 

Dezi plays on scratcher

GO!!!

 

 

 

          You happened Raena!!! You wear me out. You’d wear the roadrunner out. Me’s not a young kitten anymore ya’ know. 

 

 

Raena hunches on the liberty cat tree

Look’it you go sissy!!! Wait fur me…

 

 

 

Nonsense sissy!!! I’s see you doin’ the butt wiggle and zoomin’ thru the house. C’mon, I’s’ll give ya’ a head start. Ready, set, (Dezi crouches on the scratcher and takes off running leaving Raena wondering what happened) Wait fur me, sissy, wait fur me!!!

Chatting Cats: Raena’s At It Again

Raena:  Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. How are ya’ll doin’? ‘Member a while back when we were tryin’ to sign mommy up to marry a total stranger?

 

Dezi sits on shower chair looking up

 

 

 

          Dezi: Wait a minute RaenaBelle, don’t lump me into that. That was all you. Me had nuffin’ to do with that. You’re the one that watches all the teevee ‘round here. 

 

Raena lays on toilet in bathroom looking up

 

 

 

RaenaSure sissy, whatever you meow. (Raena meows under her breath) I’s seem to ‘member you were all fur gettin’ us a daddy at the time too. Anyways, the new season just started and OMC the day after the weddin’, one of those peeps was arrested. Sure nuff, there they were at the airpurrt fixin’ to go away on their honeymoon, when the pawlice showed up and whisked one of ‘em away. Looks like we dodged a bullet so to meow. 

 

          You’re right ‘bout that Raena. Altho’, to be fair, we don’t yet know the whole story. Now don’t get me wrong, we’re all ‘bout criminals bein’ punished fur their crimes, but teevee always makes things look worse than they are. Still, me’s glad we didn’t get mommy involved in all that. Like we don’t have enuff purroblems already. Hmmmpht 

 

Raena lays on cat tree looking back

 

 

 

I’s seem to ‘member the only reason we didn’t get mommy signed up was cuz she’s too old, sissy. I’s think mommy still has a lot of good years left in her, but ‘pawrently anypawdy over 30 shouldn’t x’pect to find their special somepawdy. 

 

Dezi lays on scratching pad

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, you’re meowin’ ‘bout mommy like she’s a racehorse or somethin’. She’s got a lot of good years left in her (Dezi shakes her head)…Where did you even come up with that? Another teevee show no doubt. 

 

 

Raena sits on top of the scratching post watching tv

 

 

 

Well sissy, ifin mommy was a racehorse, she wouldn’t be just some filly, she’d be a thoroughbred fur sure. 

 

          Me agrees Raena. Me’s just not sure mommy would ‘purreciate bein’ refurred to as a horse.

 

Raena lays on cat tree looking out the door

 

 

 

Well at least me isn’t callin’ her a pig or somethin’. Anyways, enuff ‘bout all that. Can you believe how fast this year has flown by? I’s was thinkin’ we should have a pawrty or somethin’. You know, a just cuz celebration. We could invite all our furiends and pawrty the night away. 

 

          That does sound like fun Raena, but, me’s not sure now is the right time fur a pawrty. Why don’t we start with somethin’ small, like a play date? A while back we meowed that once things settled down a bit ‘round here we’d have our furiends from Feline Opines over to meow ‘bout their book. Me’s thinkin’ we should plan that fur next month.

 

Oh sissy, that sounds like a great idea. I’s can’t hardly wait. I’s gonna go call Alberto right now. 

 

Dezi lays sleeping on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          You do that Raena. Me’s just gonna take a short nap. 

 

Raena lays on liberty cat tree looking out door

 

 

 

Okay sissy, you rest up cuz we’re gonna have loads of fun when our furiends get here. Maybe we can go fur a stroll, and play with the jitter bug, and zoom thru the ‘pawrtment, and…(Raena looks out the door while meowing about all the fun things to do when the friends come over, while Dezi dreams about the rest she’ll get when Raena has someone else to chase and play with.

Chatting Cats: Bearing The Heat

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. It furinally cooled off a bit yesfurday. It was only 99°F. We won’t meow ‘bout the feels like cuz it was really humid which means it feels hotter than it is. Fanky fankfully, we have air conditionin’ to help keep things comfutable and cool. Not to mention the sink in the bathroom. I’s sometimes like to curl up there and take a nice little cat nap. Do any of you do that? Ya’ know, with the hots bein’ what they are I’s guessin’ lots of peeps and cats would much purr-fur to lay ‘round not doin’ much.

 

Dezi lays on scratcher and looks back at Raena

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, who knew you could be still that long. Me actually took a nice long nap the other day and you didn’t bug me once. Me actually worried a little that you might be sick or somethin’. 

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw Really sissy? You worried ‘bout me? 

 

          Yeah, don’t let it go to your head Raena. Me wasn’t worried enuff to go look fur ya’ or anythin’. Hey, did you see that mommy found our hexbug? 

 

Raena hangs over the edge of the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Yep sissy, but it’s too hot to run ‘round chasin’ it right now. Maybe when it cools off some more. Ya’ know, I’s never would’a thought I’s would see the day when I’s didn’t wanna go out fur a stroll with mommy. But, sure ‘nuff, when mommy asked me ifin I’s wanted to go to the mailbox with her yesfurday, I’s meowed no. Why would I’s wanna leave the comfurt of the a/c to get all glowy and glistenin’?.

 

          You mean sweaty Raena? Cats don’t sweat. 

 

I’s know sissy. Mommy says us Southern Belles glow.

 

Dezi sleeps on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Well Raena, Southern Belles may glow, but really, we cats don’t sweat or glow. That’s why we pant when we get hot. Not that it does any good, but we do it any ways. 

 

Raena lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

I’s really worry ‘bout all those kitties who live outside sissy. Ya’ know, even when we do get out in the heat, mommy’s pushin’ us ‘round in the stroller. Can you ‘magine how hot the ground must be? And there are lots of kitties out there havin’ to walk ‘round on it and burn their poor pawsies. They can’t stretch out unner the a/c or even curl up in a bathroom sink. It’s just not fair. I’s don’t unnerstand how some peeps can be so cruel as to turn poor kitties out?.

 

          Raena, me doesn’t think anypawdy truly unnerstands those kinds of peeps. But, that’s why it’s so ‘purrtant fur the kind humans to do what they can fur all those kitties that don’t have cushy homes like we do. Ya’ know like purrvidin’ shelter so they can get outta the sun and the heat. And, makin’ sure they have access to furesh cool water. Y, Mommy used to put ice cubes in water bowls fur the stray kitties when we had ‘em. When takin’ care of stray kitties and feral colonies, purrtectin’ ‘em from the heat is just as ‘purrtant as purrtectin’ ‘em from the cold.

 

It sure is sissy. I’s even heard mommy sayin’ ya’ll were gonna be offurn’ up Tips on how to Beat the Summer Heat this Furiday. 

 

Dezi lays sleeping on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Me heard her say that too Raena. Me hopes she can keep her head outta the freezer long enuff to write our posty and help us visit our furiends. T’ween the heat and mommy’s own purrsonal summers’, she’s been spendin’ a lot of time hangin’ in front of it.

 

Maybe the freezer acts like the bathroom sink fur mommy. She’s just too big to crawl up in there and lay down.

 

          Now that would be funny Raena. Me can see it now. 

 

Raena hangs over the top of the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Well sissy, what do ya’ say we go take a nap. Maybe by the time we wake up, it’ll be cool enuff fur some zoomies?.

Chatting Cats: Raena’s Non Negotiable And A Q & A

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s don’t like it when mommy’s stressed out. Do you know she passed out last night while we were in the middle of typin’ a comment to one of our furiends? Ifin that wasn’t bad enuff, no sooner did she come too, then she fell asleep right there in the sittin’ chair. Yep, mouth open, droolin’, snorin’ and all. She’s s’posed to come to the bed so we can give her a massage and snuggle up next to her. There’s not much room fur snugglin’ in the sittin’ chair. I’s don’t like it, I’s tell ya’, I’s just don’t. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, Selfie

 

 

 

          Raena, me’s not sure mommy was actually droolin’, me’s purretty sure that was me. 

 

Really sissy? Why would you be droolin’? It makes everythin’ all slobbery and wet. The sittin’ chair’s already got limited space and now you go and slobber all over it. Anyways…I’s just want things to get back to normal ‘round here. I’s need mine’s cuddle time with mommy, it’s a non-negotiable. She purromissed when she saved me that we’d always cuddle and I’s don’t want that to change. 

 

          Non-Negotiable Raena? Where’d you come up with that one? 

 

Raena sleeps on the bed beside mommy A

 

 

 

From the teevee sissy. The show we watched the other day was askin’ peeps what non-negotiables they had fur their pawrtners. Mommy said that it meant what things they had to have or wouldn’t put up with. So, cuddlin’ is mine’s non-negotiable. 

 

 

          Well Raena, it also means that ifin you don’t get your non-negotiable, you won’t be stayin’ in that relationship. Are you ready to pack up and move out? 

 

Leave mommy? ‘Course not!!! I’s would never leave mommy, and she purromissed she’d never leave me.

 

Dezi lays on cat tree with mouth open and eyes shut

 

 

 

          Well then, it’s not really a non-negotiable Raena. Maybe befur you go throwin’ ‘round human phrases, you need to know ‘zactly what they mean. Better yet, maybe you should quit watchin’ so much teevee. You’re startin’ to sound like those latch key kids that spend all their time in front of the boob tube or playin’ catputer games ‘stead of enjoyin’ life and the company of others. Ya’ know, we’ve got great nature teevee right out the front door you could watch. 

 

That’s just a bunch of re-runs sissy. The same ole peeps doin’ the same ole things every day. It’s done gone and got too hot fur the birdies to do much other than hang out on the tree branches in the shade. I’s not seen one bunny in like, furever. No ducks or geese, Y, even the woofies are stayin’ inside, so what’s so great ‘bout nature teevee these days? 

 

Dezi sits on the liberty cat tree while Raena sits on the small perch looking out the door

 

 

 

          Well Raena, all me knows is that all that nonsense on human teevee isn’t good fur us kitties. Anyways, our furiend CK purrposed some innerview questions fur us the other day, so why don’t we take a minute and answer ‘em? 

 

Okay sissy, that sounds like fun.

 

     1. When did something start out badly for you, but in the end it was great?

          Well, me thinks me can answer fur both of us on this one, Raena. Neither of us had a very good start in life. But since we met mommy, it couldn’t get any better.

 

Dezi and Raena eat Primal Freeze dried Cat food

 

 

 

     2. What weird food combinations do you enjoy?

I’s can meow fur both of us on this one sissy. We don’t really eat combo foods. We like rabbit bestest. 

 

     3. What food have you never eaten but would like to try? 

     Me’s got this one Raena. Filet Mignon. Sis Lexi used to meow ‘bout it all the time. She said mommy brought some home once when she had a date and it just melted in her mouth. 

 

A date, sissy? Our mommy went on a date? 

 

          Another time Raena. Let’s get back to the questions. 

 

Dezi eating Bonito flakes

 

 

 

     4. What food is delicious, but a pain to eat? 

Mine’s turn sissy. I’s gotta say those bonito flakes take some getting’ used too. 

 

     5. What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever broken?

          Me will answer, Raena. After all, you’re the one who broke our furst stroller. 

 

Raena sits pretty on the Liberty cat tree

I’s purrfection purrsonified. MOL

 

 

 

     6. What would a world populated by clones of you be like? 

Hmmmpht Mommy said your big hiney had already broken it sissy. Anyways, a world full of clones of me? I’s an original and there could never be a copy equal to mine’s purrfection. 

 

     7. What smartfone feature would you be excited for a company to implement? 

          Who’s the laff a minute now Raena? Since we can’t actually use a smartfone we’d like to see a way fur kitties to actually get into ‘em. We could take compurrmisin’ fotos of mommy then. Me bets we’d get lots of treats in exchange fur not postin’ ’em. MOL 

 

     8. What’s something people don’t worry about but should?

I’s don’t care anythin’ ‘bout the smartfone sissy. As fur what humans should worry ‘bout, who knows? I’s just a kitty and mommy says kitties shouldn’t worry ‘bout human stuffs.  

 

     9. What was cool when you were young, but isn’t cool now? 

          Y, everythin’ ‘bout me will always be cool. Raena on the other paw…

 

     10. If magic was real, what spell would you cast first?

We don’t purrticipate in spells and such. Bein’ Christians, we don’t believe in deception. 

 

Dezi laying in mommy's lap and Raena standing on edge of chair looking up

 

 

 

     11. What’s the most comfortable bed or chair you’ve ever been in?

          Me can answer this one fur both of us too, Raena. That’s so easy, mommy’s lap. Mommy’s lap is the most coveted seat in the house. 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

It sure is sissy. I’s think I’s gonna head there now. Fanky fanks fur the questions CK, we always luv learnin’ more ‘bout our furiends. Ifin you wanna purrticipate, just link back to CK’s bloggy. These kinds of things are always so much fun when lots of bloggers get in on the action.
