Chatting Cats: Eyes Of The Beholder

Raena:  Hey, Everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. You know, the younger, purrettier, in better shape, floofier, did I’s meow purrettier sisfur of Deztinee? (Raena stands on the bathroom vanity looking into the mirror

 

Raena walks on the sink at the Cat Motel in 2018

 

 

 

          Dezi:  RaenaBelle Mayce!!! What are you up too, and what’s with the ego boost? Conceited much? 

 

I’s don’t have a clue what you just meowed sissy. What’s an ego and how do ya’ boost it? Isn’t boostin’ another word fur stealin’? And what zactly does conceited mean? And what does any of that have to do with mine’s bootyful appearance? 

 

Dezi sits with tongue out in front of door

 

 

 

          What happened to you Raena? Don’t you know it’s rude to meow yourself a compliment? ‘Specially when you’re puttin’ somepawdy/kitty down in the purrocess. 

 

I’s still don’t know what you’re meowin’ ‘bout sissy, I’s just meowin’ the truth. Mommy tells me every day how bootyful I’s is.

 

          She tells me the same thing Raena. Me can guarantee ya’ she doesn’t think you’re more bootyful than me. So your description is a bit off. Now ifin you’d meowed somethin’ like, the more annoying, pesky, over zealous and bothersome younger sisfur, you’d’ve been totally on point. 

 

Raena sits pretty on scratcher

 

 

 

That’s so not nice, sissy.

 

          Neither was what you meowed. Now ya’ know how it feels.

 

Hmmmmpht  Aren’t you s’posed to be at the Tabby Cat Club today anyways, sissy?

          Well yeah, but you know we’re not any good at those “caption it” fotos. So, me decided to see what everypawdy else posts this time and maybe me will post next month. Now quit changin’ the subject. You owe me a ‘pawlogy.

 

Not really sissy. You know mommy always says that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, that means that there are lots of peeps that purrobably think I’s the purrettiest, I’s fur sure do. I’s mean, you’re purretty and all, but I’s think I’s purrettier.

 

          Why don’t we ask mommy, Raena? Me bets she’ll put your ego in check. And ifin she doesn’t maybe me’s furry whacky paw will do it. 

 

Sissy!!! I’s tellin’ mommy you’re bein’ mean to me.

          You do that Raena. In the meantime, me’s gonna have a bath and take a nap.

Chatting Cats: Raena’s KitNip Birthday Box

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s been so crazy ‘round here lately and we’re so far behind, I’s don’t think we’ll ever get all caught up. Then mommy goes and says somethin’ like “All caught up is a relative statement, baby. Sometimes, life has to take precedence over play. If we want to keep a roof over our heads, then mommy has things she needs to do to keep that roof. And that sometimes means spending time running errands, making copies, calls and getting together all pertinent paperwork to re-certify our lease.” Hmmmpht How am I’s s’posed to argue with that? 

 

Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree and Raena lays on the top ledge

 

 

 

          You’re not Raena, you’re just s’posed to accept it and be glad that mommy takes good care of us. Now, me thought we were gonna meow ‘bout that box we got just in time fur your Birthday last month.

 

Raena checks out the the KitNip box

 

 

 

We are sissy, I’s was just makin’ sure mommy knows how furustrated I’s am ‘bout all the time she’s spendin’ doin’ things that don’t include us havin’ fun or visitin’ our furiends. But, you’re right, that was a purretty fun box we got. The peeps at Kit Nip Box sent us one of their pawsum subscription boxes just in time fur mine’s Birthday. Unlike mommy with her birthday purresent, I’s had to wait to open mine’s.

 

          Why don’t we meow a bit ‘bout the KitNip Box befur we get to what was inside. 

 

KitNip box

 

 

 

Good idea sissy. The KitNip Box is a monthly subscription box filled with goodies fur the felines in your home. They have 2 different box plans, $19.99 a month and $29.99 a month. Fur $19.99 you get 5 purroducts hand picked fur kitty and 7 in the $29.99 box. Boxes are shipped out on the 1st and 15th of each month and your credit card is charged 1 – 7 days prior to each shipment. They currently ship boxes to addresses in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. Ifin ya’ live somewhere else, they say to call their customer service number to see what they can do to get a box to ya’. Shippin’ is furee fur the U.S. and $6.95 – $7.95 fur other countries.

          Don’t furget to meow ‘bout the charity work Raena. Each month the KitNip Box peeps donate a portion of the proceeds and products to shelters, rescues, TNR efforts and other feline welfare causes, like the Paw Project, Wayside Waifs, SAAP and more. Y, any organization can apply fur help just by contactin’ ‘em.

 

Raena sniffs the Pure Bites minnow treats

 

 

 

We always luvs it when a company helps out those kitties less furtunate than us, don’t we sissy?. Anyways, let’s get on with the goodies inside that box. Our box had 5 toys and a bag of Pure Bites freeze dried fish treats; minnows the bag said. Let me tell ya’ those were the biggest minnows ever. Mommy says she used to fish and use minnows as bait, but, she’d never seen one as big as these. Seems the whole fish was freeze dried and cut into large chunks…too big fur us so mommy had to break up a piece befur we’d even look at it. As most of ya’ know, we’re not really fish eaters here and these treats were no x’ception. Uh huh, We weren’t havin’ ‘em. On to the toys. There was a couple different mousies that are just the right size fur carryin’ ‘round and playin’ with. And, there was a new wand toy with a soft plushie at the end. 

 

Dezi turns her head away from the Pure Bites Minnow treat

That’s a big ole chunk ‘o minnow.

 

 

 

          Did you see the umbrella Raena? Me still hasn’t figgered out what we’re s’posed to do with that?. Me kind’a liked the big yellow cat face. Mommy needs to soak it in some nip or silvervine and then it’ll be just purrfect to roll ‘round on. Ya’ know, as subscription boxes go, the KitNip box is okay. Me would give it 2 paws up, mostly cuz they give back to feline charities.

 

We received the KitNip Box in exchange for our honest opinion. As always, we tell it like we see it and only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and friends. All opinions expressed here are our own. 

 

Yeah sissy, I’s agree. We’re purretty spoiled and have some of the bestest toys on the meow-kit. But, we think this would make a great gift fur any kitty in your life. I’s would give it 2 paws up as well. Mommy said she thought it was a bit overpriced, but it’s on purr/par with all the other subscription boxes out there. We were really x’cited that the peeps at KitNip Box are lettin’ our furiends and readers save 15% off their furst box when they use our special coupon code: DEZIZ. I’s sure did ‘purreciate receivin’ our box fur mine’s birthday. ‘Course I’s luvs gettin’ gifts any day of the week. Meowin’ of Birthdays, I’s hope we get somethin’ special fur mommy’s Birthday this weekend. You did meow that mommy celebrates us on her special days, right sissy?

 

Dezi looks over the toys from the KitNip box

 

 

 

          She does Raena, but we should purrobably try to do somethin’ nice fur her too. Let’s go put our heads together and see what we can come up with. 

 

I’s right behind ya’, sissy. I’s know the furst thing we can do is avoid purrjectile vomitin’. Anyways, we’ll see ya’ll soon. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Pig Trails And Implants, Oh My

Raena:  Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. A dry RaenaBelle at that. You are never gonna believe what mommy did yesfurday.

          Dezi: Hey Raena, what’d ya’ think ‘bout the new dentist? Huh? Mommy says she really likes her. She says the office was really nice. There was a huge waitin’ room with windows in every corner fur different kinds of doctors. Mommy said she was shocked and impurressed at how clean the pawtty box room was. Seems there’s 3 dentist in the office who work every day. Well every day Monday thru Fursday; they’re closed on Furidays. And mommy’s dentist Dr. Collier has been there fur 7 years. Things are already lookin’ better than they did at Aspen, who couldn’t seem to keep a dentist on staff. Mommy’s just ready fur Aspen to honor their money back guarantee and give her the green papers she paid them fur the dentures they didn’t make. Anyways, what’d you think Raena? 

 

Raena stands on stroller handle looking down into basket seat

 

 

 

Hmmmmpht  Yeah sissy, mommy says it was great but I’s wouldn’t know. ‘Pawrently the roads to Tishomingo are some real doozies of “country pig trails”, and with the thunderstorms makin’ it dark and gloomy and impairin’ visibility, mommy was a bit scared and nervous ‘bout the drive. So she left me here at home with you!!! How dare she!!! What ifin somethin’ had happened and she needed me? Anythin’ could’a happened and mommy would’a been totally alone. 

 

          Well Raena, you’re right, anythin’ could’a happened and that’s zactly why mommy didn’t take you. Mommy always puts our health and well bein’ befur hers. Ifin somehtin’ had happened, say mommy ran off one of those pig trails into a ditch or tree or had some kind’a accident with another idiot drivin’ too fast on those pig trails thinkin’ they own ‘em and oughtta drive in the middle of ’em, she’d never have been able to live with herself ifin you’d been hurt or worse, deaded. Fankfully, mommy did okay and was able to stay at the office till she was able to drive home after her ‘pointment. 

 

Dezi lays in stroller looking up at Raena crawling on handle

 

 

 

Yeah sissy, I’s do ‘purreciate that mommy doesn’t purr-puss-fully put us in harm’s way, but I’s still worry ‘bout her bein’ alone out there. Ya’ know, totally at the mercy of the elements and the kindness of strangers…who ain’t always so kind. Mommy says she’s gonna look fur a safer way to get there fur her next ‘pointment so she doesn’t have to be alone. It’s never good to tempt fate, I’s meow. I’s pawfully glad mommy made it home safely, but I’s sure was worried ‘bout her. Anyways, that nice Dr. Collier pulled the last two teethies mommy had and scheduled her fur a pointment to make the impurressions fur her dentures next month. Looks like we’re furinally gonna see an end to all this. We just gotta get our green papers back from that pawful Aspen Dental so we can pay the new place. In the meantime, mommy talks really funny.

 

          That she does Raena. Ya’ know that got me to thinkin’ ifin our meows change when we kitties lose our teethies? ‘Pawrently teeth play a ‘purrtant role in furmin’ a lot of words. What do you think? Would we meow differently without our teeth? Ya’ know kitties have a large repurrtoire of meows, chortles, chirps, hisses, growls and other sounds. How are those sounds affected when we lose our purmanent teeth? Do ya’ reckon some really rich purrson would try to get kitty dentures fur their toothless kitty? Do they make kitty dentures? 

 

Raena lays atop Liberty Cat tree and hangs paw over edge

 

 

 

Oh sissy, I’s think you may have a little too much time on your paws. Who thinks ‘bout those kinds of things anyways?. I’s don’t think I’s would want any kitty dentures. 

 

Dezi lays in the Gen7 stroller

 

 

 

          Ya’ never know what peeps will come up with Raena. Mommy says that years ago she knew a company who made implants fur male kitties who had been neutered. Sure ‘nuff, your male kitty could look like he had stuff to strut fur only $6,000.00. And, there was even different sizes to choose from. (Dezi and Raena shake their heads) 

 

OMC That’s not right sissy, it’s just not right. And, on that note, I’s think we should go check on mommy. She’s havin’ quite a bit of pain. Seems those last two teethies were imbedded in the nerve and hurt a little more than the last time. Mommy’s had one of those serious migraines since last night. Hopefully, she’ll be able to help us visit with our furiends soon. We sure wanna fanky fank everypawdy fur your well wishes and purrayers.

Chatting Cats: Nokitty’s Hiding Here

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta hurry and eat mine’s brekky cuz we’re goin’ to see mommy’s new dentist today. And wouldn’t ya’ know it, the heavens have opened up and it’s stormin’ like there’s no tomorrow. All this started late last night. I’s thought sissy was gonna fall off the cat tree when the thunder boomed the furst time. 

 

Dezi stands atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Quit makin’ fun of me, Raena. Me was in complete control when me descended the tree and went to look fur intruders.

 

Sure you were sissy. So, what intruders are you lookin’ fur unner that chair there, huh? 

 

          Maybe the same ones you were lookin’ fur when you ran down the hall to the bedroom, smarty bloomers. Me seems to recall mommy hollerin’ fur you to come back up to the livin’ room. Somethin’ ‘bout she wasn’t gonna have you bein’ ‘fraid of the storms and hidin’ out unner the bed?. 

 

Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Uh, I’s recall her sayin’ she wasn’t gonna have both of us ‘fraid of the storms sissy., not just me, she said both. And, what did I’s do when she hollered sissy, huh? Huh? Well? I’s came right back up and laid down with mommy. I’s not ‘bout to let some little ole clap of thunder scare me. Nope, not gonna happen. (Suddenly there’s a loud clap of thunder that shakes the window and lightning lights up the whole room. Raena looks at mommy and runs behind the chair and stands in the hall looking confused.) Mommy, what’s happenin’? 

 

          Ain’t gonna scare you huh, Raena? (Dezi meows from under the chair. Raena walks slowly back into the living room and jumps into the Gen7 stroller.)

 

Raena lays on back of the chair

 

 

 

Hmmmpht  I’s back sissy, and where are you? Hmmmmm  Let me see…I’s do believe you’re still hidin’ out unner the chair. 

 

          Me’s NOT Hidin’!!! Don’t you have a ‘pointment to get ready fur? 

 

I’s do sissy. Are you gonna be okay here alone till mommy and me get home?

 

Dezi selfie

 

 

 

          Me will be fine Raena. Just ‘member to bring me home any treats you may get. ‘Member, sharin’ is carin’. 

 

I’s always share sissy. And hopefully all these storms will go away soon. I’s can’t wait to meet everypawdy at the new office. Guess I’s’ll finish mine’s brekky now. Wish you’d come finish yours too sissy. By the way, any purrayers you can spare fur our trip and meetin’ with the new dentist would be ‘purreciated. 

 

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