Chatting Cats: The Nerve of Them

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. (While mommy A prepares the girls brekky, Raena sits on the perch in front of the door until the lawn crew shows up and suddenly powers up their noisy equipment. Dezi runs to the bedroom and Raena, looking confused, follows behind her.)

 

 Dezi and Raena in hall way

 

 

 

     Mommy A: Dezi!!! RaenaBelle!!! Girls, ya’ll need to come and eat your brekky. Where are ya’ll? I’m in here slavin’ over your breakfast and ya’ll are nowhere to be found. (Mommy A comes out of the kitchen and looks toward the door, on the cat tree and down the hall for the girls. Raena finally peeks out of the bathroom and runs towards mommy. Dezi follows behind her until they hear a huge thud as a rock hits the window and the motor of the big lawn mower. Raena stops and looks up at mommy A and Dezi flattens and slinks back to the bedroom.) Girls, ya’ll need to ignore the inept lawn crew and come and eat your breakfast before it gets all soggy. (Mommy A goes to her sitting chair to have her morning coffee and Raena follows behind.

 

Sissy, it’s okay, come eat brekky. I’s think they’re gone now. (Suddenly the big lawn mower appears out of nowhere and Raena jumps. She looks back at mommy A and then runs to find Dezi.)

 

          Me hates the lawn crew (Dezi meows from UTB (under the bed)). 

 

Dezi and Raena meet in the hall way

 

 

 

Is that why we’re hidin’, sissy? Is the lawn crew gonna get us? 

 

     (From the sitting chair in the living room, mommy A hollers) Girls!!! The lawn crew’s not gonna get anybody. I won’t let them. Ya’ll know I’d never let anything happen to you two. Now get up here and eat your breakfast before I take it up. We can’t afford to waste money like that. 

 

 Raena sits on small perch and looks out the door

 

 

 

(Raena runs to the small perch in front of the door and dezi slinks up the hall and rubs against mommy’s legs.) They’re still here mommy. Hisssssssssssssssss (Raena hisses and jumps off the small perch with a force that causes it to fall over and bang against the door when one of the lawn crew appears on the porch with the leaf blower.

 

          (Dezi hisses and flattens out and heads down the hall growling.)  Don’t call me again till they’re gone, k mommy?!! Aaaaaaaachoo

 

Sissy, where are you? Mine’s eyes are all mucky and I’s can’t see you. (Mommy A picks up Raena and cleans her eyes and give her a hug.) Eat your brekky baby and just ignore those crazy men. Hey sissy, looks like they’re packin’ up. You can come eat now.

 

 Dezi sits pretty in front of door

 

 

 

           Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaachoo Fank the kittens. Me just doesn’t like lawn crew days. None of us are gonna be able to breathe fur days now. And, they innerupted our brekky. Hmmmpht  The nerve of them!!! HissssssAaaaaaaaaaaaaachoo

 

Yeah, okay sissy, let’s eat. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Making the Best of Nature TV

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Get away from the door and let’s give fanks fur today’s Blessings.

          Raena:  But sissy, Spring teevee is a Blessing. Have you seen all the pawsum channels we have? There’s bird teevee up close and purrsonal with that mommy bird takin’ care of her younguns, and I’s even saw the neighbors’ chickens bug huntin’ in the garden the other day. And, of course ya’ can’t miss doofus teevee. They’re either attached to those teeny heel nippers or chasin’ ‘em to try and get ‘em to come back to their ‘pawrtment.

 

 Raena lays atop Liberty Cat tree and hangs paw over edge

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle Mayce, you better hope mommy doesn’t hear you meowin’ like that. Where did you even learn a word like doofus? 

 

          What? Isn’t that the right word fur dummies? I’s don’t ‘member ‘zactly where I’s heard it, but I’s sure that’s what it means.

 

 Dezi atop the cat tree looking down

 

 

 

You know mommy doesn’t like that word, even ifin it’s the right one. Mommy says that dumb actually means that somepawdy can’t speak, not that they’re a few marbles short and shouldn’t.

 

          Maybe sissy, but I’s bet’ch’a mommy was usin’ all kinds of words the other day when she was tryin’ to take out the trash and all those little heel nippers kept growlin’, barkin’ and chargin’ her while their peeps stood at their doors hollerin’ fur ‘em to “get back here now dog!!!”. Not a one of those woofies paid any attention to their humans. And peeps call us kitties dumb. Hmmmpht Least we know our names. 

 

 Dezi sits atop the Liberty Cat tree while Raena lays on the top ledge looking out the door

 

 

 

Alright Raena, that’s enuff ‘bout the woofies. Besides, me much purrfurs squirrel teevee. Me’s not sure where they all went to tho’. That big oak tree in our yard used to be the busiest hub of squirrel activity ‘round these pawrts. Y, We even had a few that would come up on our porch and chatter at us through the window. And sometimes at night the coons would come up and ask mommy fur some spam. Me doesn’t ‘member seein’ any of our wild life furiends last year. Me sure hopes they didn’t move to somepawdy else’s tree. It can get kind’a boring ‘round here without ‘em. 

 

          You’re right sissy, I’s can only watch so much bird teevee. I’s sure hope mine’s bunny furiend comes back this year. Maybe mommy’ll even let me play with him/her this year. 

 

 Raena looks to the woods from the stroller

 

 

 

Our mommy Raena? You know she’s a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to us rollin’ ‘round in the yard and dirt and stuffs those woofies leave behind. After all, those doofuses don’t clean up after themselves. Besides, me doesn’t think that bunny wanted to play with you. Me’s purretty sure it was scared you were gonna eat him/her. That’s why it hopped away when you got close to it.

 

          Sissy?!!! Now you’ve gone and said it. MOL  Anyways, it wasn’t hoppin’ away, it wanted to play chase with me. 

 

Dezi wipes her eyes atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Sure Raena, whatever you meow. (Dezi rolls her eyes and puts a paw to her head) Anyways, like me meowed earlier, it’s Blest Sunday. Another week has come and gone. Altho’ it started out stormin’ and yucky, today’s actually really nice out. The sun’s shinin’, the wind’s barely blowin’ and the temps are a nice medium of the high 70’s.

 

 Raena playing with wand toy

Hmmmpht Where’d your wings go necko?

 

 

 

          That’s true sissy. And, you even spent most of those stormy days hangin’ with mommy and me on the cat tree. Well, you and me were on the cat tree, mommy doesn’t fit. So, she has to use her sittin’ chair fur hangin’ out. Ya’ know sissy, I’s know mommy’s busy tryin’ to get all our paperwork ready fur our lease recert, but do ya’ reckon she might make some time to take us fur a few strolls befur the weather gets stormy again? Or to play with us? Ya’ know I’s went shoppin’ online fur mine’s birthday prezzie the other day. You know how much we luvs those necko fly toys? I’s decided to get us another one to play with since we’d de-winged and de-legged our last one. Mommy says it’s a bit ridiculous what they charge fur those things, but we like ‘em, and I’s got birthday money, so she let me order it. Maybe someday we can get the Necko fishin’ rod that they’re designed to fit on. Wouldn’t that be fun?.

It sure would be Raena. Altho’ at $40.00 me’s thinkin’ mommy could buy an actual fishin’ rod fur less. ‘Course, what would me know, me’s never seen a real fishin’ rod. MOL Since we don’t eat fish, there’s not been much need fur one. 

 

          A real fishin’ rod? You mean human peeps like to play with the necko fly toys too, sissy? 

 

No silly (Dezi shakes her head), a real fishin’ rod fur ketchin’ real fish. Never mind. Anyways, fanks fur gettin’ such a pawsum toy fur us to play with. You’re a purretty good sisfur. Me’s fankful you’re me’s sisfur. (Raena smiles really big and runs toward Dezi) Stop right there!!! Don’t let that go to your head, okay?.

 

          Okay sissy. I’s fanky fankful fur you too. We are so Blest to have each other and mommy.

We are Raena. We’re also Blest to have the greatest furiends in the universe. We’re Blest to be able to watch bird teevee, squirrel teevee and all the rest of the wild critters outside. We’re Blest to have today and each day to luv and be luvved. As we do every week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. No matter what may be goin’ on ‘round you, you’re Blest to have this moment in time. It’s up to you to see the Blessings ‘stead of the bad.

          That’s a good one sissy. I’s gonna make today pawsum. And, let’s not furget to link up with the Kitties blue fur Sunday Selfies

 

You just did Raena. Let’s go see what’s on the nature channel outside.

Chatting Cats: One Man’s Trash, Blah Blah Blah

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, looks like Spring furinally showed up. Bird teevee has been all a’flutter. MOL  Altho’ mommy said based on the weather guessers estimates, she only brought an overnight bag. Guess she won’t be stayin’ long. I’s sure hope Summer packs more days than Old Man Winter. I’s just don’t like him and all that cold and nasty he brings with him. Don’t you agree sissy?

 

 Dezi stands atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Hisssssssssss GRrrrrrrrrr (Dezi runs down the hall toward the bedroom and stops at the door to hiss again.

 

Wait, sissy, where…(Suddenly there’s a knock on the door and Raena runs toward the hall and stops behind mommy A’s sitting chair while mommy goes to answer the door. Mommy A and the manager exchange some words and seem to make a plan fur something in June. Mommy A returns to her sitting chair and Raena runs over and jumps in her lap.)  What was that all ‘bout mommy? Sissy, you can come back now, it’s just mommy and me again. So…What’s up mommy? 

 

 Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree looking at Raena laying on the top ledge

 

 

 

          Didn’t you pay attention Raena? They’ve been plannin’ a community garage sale. They were s’posed to have it this weekend, but ‘pawrently that doesn’t work fur some of the residents, so now they’re gonna have it in June.  

 

A garage sale? What’s a garage sale, sissy?  Do we even have a garage to sell? 

 

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

 

 

 

          (Dezi shakes her head) No Raena, we don’t have a garage, mommy should’a said a yard sale. But, either way, we’re not sellin’ the yard or a garage. Ya’ know humans, or at least some of them get all cleany like come Spring. They call it Spring Cleaning. Mommy plans to clean out some of the stuffs she doesn’t need or want anymore and put it out fur other peeps to come and buy. Ya’ know, one purrson’s trash is another purrson’s treasure. 

 

Uh, She ain’t sellin’ us is she? 

 

          What would even make you ask that question, silly? We’re not trash fur sure, but more ‘purrtantly, mommy luvs and needs us. There’s no way mommy would ever sell us. We’re mommy’s Treasures. Me wishes every kitty knew what it was like to be somepawdy’s Treasure. 

 

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

 

 

 

Whew!!!  I’s agree sissy, it’s such a pawsum feelin’ to know you’re Treasured. Anyways, all this stuffs mommy’s gonna sell, it ain’t none of our stuffs right sissy? I’s mean, just cuz we may not play with certain toys doesn’t mean we don’t want ‘em. 

 

 Dezi digs in toy box

 

 

 

          (Dezi starts digging through the toy box and rolling around in the nip smell.) Nah Raena, me doesn’t think mommy would sell any of our stuffs. She’s got purrlenty of junk all her own to get rid of. But, it does mean there’s gonna be all kinds of strange peeps in our yard all day. Me hopes mommy can sell everythin’ so she can buy us some extra treats or somethin’.

 

Extra treats, sissy? I’s thinkin’ I’s might like this garage sale thing. I’s gonna help mommy pick out stuffs to sell, right after I’s finish mine’s brekky and maybe a short meownin’ nap. (Raena hears a rumbling coming from the sky.) Uh sissy, I’s thinkin’ we’re in fur a storm today. You’re not gonna go hide UTB (under the bed) are ya’? 

 

 Dezi sits atop the Liberty Cat tree while Raena lays on the top ledge looking out the door

 

 

 

          How many times does me have to tell ya’, me’s NOT HIDIN’, me’s checkin’ fur intruders!!! Meowin’ of me’s bravado, did you see that me’s been chosen as the featured Scout at Cat scouts

 

Sure sissy, whatever you meow, and a meowsy big Concats on your feature. Mommy and me are very purroud of you. Let’s finish brekky right quick and try to visit some furiends befur the weather gets bad. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Planning For A Month Of Mommy Specials

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s sure wanna fanky fank everypawdy that came to mine’s pawrty and wished me a happy birthday. I’s sure am a Blest kitty girly. The weather was so nice over the weekend, I’s got to go fur several strolls. What fun!!! Unfurtunately, we’re in fur storms over the next couple of weeks and it’s time fur mommy to get all our stuffs ready to recertify our lease, so I’s purrobably won’t be gettin’ very many strolls this month. 

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree while Raena bathes laying on cat tree

 

 

 

 

          You don’t know that fur sure Raena. After all, May is the month we celebrate mommy. Furst there’s Mother’s day and then we’ve got her birthday at the end of the month. You know mommy always purrfurs to celebrate us even on her special days.

 

Really sissy? I’s don’t really ‘member too much ‘bout last year. Are we gonna get mommy somethin’ special fur her special days? 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Sure we are Raena. We’ll give mommy lots of extra luvvin’ and attention this month. Me’s not very good at readin’ the calendar, so me isn’t sure which days are the special ones. That means, we’ll just have to treat her special every day.

 

I’s know the furst thing we can do fur mommy, sissy. We can let her have a whole cup of that coffee she likes so much while it’s still hot. We can just eat and not bother her fur a few extra minutes. After all, how long can it actually take to drink a cup of coffee? 

 

Dezi looks out the door while sitting on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh Raena, that’s a great idea. X’cept, ya’ know ifin we let her do it once, she’ll think we oughtta let her do it every day from now on. You know mommy should never put anythin’ befur our wants and needs. Me was thinkin’ just a few extra massages and lap luvvin’ times. Comin’ up with gift ideas was always sis Lexi’s depawrtment. She was really good at that kind’a stuffs. Me never really wanted to be in charge. But, me’s not so sure me wants you to be in charge either. 

 

 Dezi and Raena look out door while sitting and laying on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Oh sissy, don’t worry, I’s luvs bein’ in charge. So, I’s still think the coffee thing’s a good idea. Ifin we only had thumbs we could make mommy her coffee and serve it to her in bed. Now wouldn’t that be somethin’. 

 

          Yeah Raena, that’d be somethin’ alright. Now, let’s get serious and actually make some plans. In the meantime, we oughtta fank everypawdy fur their purrayers. The hot water heater sprung a leak. Fankfully, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the flood we had a few years ago. The plumbers came out and put in a new one. Mommy’s still got some piddle pads down to soak up any water left unner the floor planks. We’ll most likely need a few replacement planks once everythin’ completely dries up. Anyways, we’re happy we didn’t get completely flooded out of our ‘pawrtment. 

 

 Dezi and Raena look out the door while sitting and laying on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

We sure are sissy. And mommy was so purroud of you fur alertin’ her to that flood befur it got outta hand. Mommy says she knew immediately somethin’ was wrong when she heard you chuffin’ and chortlin’ in the hallway at 4 in the meownin’. Anyways, let’s wrap this up, we’ve got lots of furiends we need to ketch up on.

 

 Dezi and Raena stare intently out the door from the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          (Dezi sees something fly by the door and jumps on the liberty tree to look out the door) Me’s with you Raena. Furst tho’ me thinks another birdy might be usin’ that nest on our alarm outside. Me’s sure those other birdies already left the nest. Let me just check this out furst.

 

(Raena sees the bird diving toward the door)  Hope that momma birdy don’t dive bomb mommy when she goes outside. MOL I’s think I’s’ll just watch the birdies fur awhile and maybe have a little nap. 

 

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