Chatting Cats: Changes Are Coming

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We’ve got some big changes comin’. Bet’cha ya’ll didn’t even notice, but mommy’s been workin’ hard to simplify our Service Cat posty’s and make ‘em easier to find fur peeps visitin’ us, even ifin it’s their furst time. Did you know we added lots of new furiends/family last year? Sure ‘nuff, we gained lots of new followers here and we’re so fanky fankful fur all of you. Ya’ know, we meow, you’re only a visitor once. After that, you’re family.

          RaenaBelle, slow down. Have you already been in the nip today?

Nip? Nope I’s not sniffed any nip today, sissy. Least not yet. Ya’ know, I’s could go fur some of that vine awnty Vonda sent us fur Christmas tho’. I’s just happy. Happy and cold that is. Mommy says us kitties can get really active the colder it gets. And, it sure is cold here today. The weather guessers said we’ve got wind chills at 15° below zero. And ifin ya’ don’t even take that into account, it’s only 12° as it is.

 

          That’s outside silly.

 

I’s know, sissy, but mommy ain’t cranked up the heat inside much either. But, I’s don’t think her purrsonal summer’s are occurin’ nearly as much as they used to. Even she’s been wrappin’ up in a blanky lately.

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap

         

          Yeah Raena, but don’t those blankys make her lap even more comfy?

They sure do sissy. I’s just luvs layin’ in mommy’s lap. Anyways, I’s was lettin’ everypawdy know that we’ve added to our menu. Now when ya’ need to refur back to one of our Trainin’ posty’s, ya’ won’t have to find the last post we wrote fur the linkys, you can just click on the Trainin’ Tips link from our menu and find every Educational or Trainin’ post we’ve written. We’ll also be includin’ things like Feline Nutrition, and other educational type stuffs there. And, mommy even thought it would be a good idea to put a Contact us form right there on the page so peeps could submit their questions or blog topics they’d like to see.

 

 Dezi lays on the arm of the chair next to the Scratching post

 

 

 

          You’re right Raena, that is somethin’ to get x’cited ‘bout. Adding all those links to every posty was getting’ a bit tiresome. We’re not done yet tho’, mommy’s gonna be addin’ descriptions to those linkys along with specific tags. So, ifin you’re lookin’ fur how to set up a Decompression room say, you’ll be able to find it really easy without havin’ to re-read every posty. Me thinks it really is gonna be helpful fur everypawdy.

Me too sissy. I’s can’t wait to start postin’ our Service Cat postys again. I’s also wanted to mention that we’ve got a few requests fur mommy to add some more songs. Our Christmas Carols posty was well received, but several peeps wanna hear mommy singin’ some Patsy Cline and other Country songs. We even got a request from awnty Petal fur mommy to sing Amazing Grace. That happens to be one of our faves, so we’ve got mommy workin’ hard on recordin’ some more songs. We don’t really have the right equipment fur all this, so it is takin’ a little time. But, ifin ya’ wanna follow our SoundCloud channel, you’ll be among the furst to know when mommy adds new songs. Our camera’s battery doesn’t hold a charge long enuff to make videos. The battery fur our Canon camera went bye bye over a year ago, and now the one fur our Nikon is just ‘bout charged out. Ya’ know, those batteries aren’t meant to last furever, and with as many fotos as mommy takes, they need chargin’ offen.

 

 Dezi lays in front of fireplace

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, we’re workin’ on gettin’ new batteries, but like everythin’ else, they cost money, we just don’t have any to spare right now. Anyways, we need to wrap it up Raena. Me’s gonna go lay in front of the fireplace and have a little nap.

 

 Dezi and Raena hang out together during the fireworks

 

 

 

Sounds good to me sissy. Maybe I’s can join ya’. And don’t ya’ll furget ‘bout that pawsum give away we’re havin’. There’s still time to enter. Check it out here.

Chatting Cats: Playing, Eating and Napping

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Well, what did ya’ll think ‘bout mommy getting’ to try somethin’ new? I’s gotta tell ya’, we were purretty x’cited. And, I’s even got some of that PawPaw ointment put on me. Somehow, I’s got a scratch on mine’s nose and mommy used it fur me. It felt kind’a nice. Anyways, have we got a surpurrise fur ya’ll on Furiday.

 

 Dezi and Raena sitting on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Raena, what are you meowin’ ‘bout now? 

 

I’s was gonna tell everypawdy what we had comin’ up on Furiday, sissy.

 

 Dezi lays on scratcher

 

 

 

          Well don’t, Raena. It’s gonna be a surpurrise. We’ve already eluded to it, and now we’re just gonna hit ‘em with it. It’s the purrfect time of year. ‘Course, anytime we get somethin’ new is the purrfect time. Anyways, did you notice mr. Sunshine came back out today?

 

I’s did sissy. I’s also noticed the air seems a bit warmer too. Mommy says it’s still not warm enuff to go fur a stroll, but we are enjoyin’ not fureezin’ all day. Ya’ know, we’ve got that pawsum ‘lectric blanky on the bed to keep us from fureezin’ at night, and oh is it nice. I’s could stay in bed all the time. 

 

          Well Raena, ya’ know what they say; A kitty sleeps most of it’s life. 

 

 Raena lays on the Liberty Cat Tree

 

 

 

I’s disagree with that sissy. that makes us sound lazy.

 

          Yeah Raena, me thinks somethin’ is wrong with your kitty brain. You don’t spend nearly enuff time sleepin’. And, that means me misses out on some really valuable beauty sleeps too. Me’s never seen a kitty go, go , go as much as you do. Where x’actly do you get all that energy?

 

I’s don’t know sissy. I’s just like to play. I’s wish you would play with me more. Ya’ waste so much time nappin’. As ifin you could get any more bootyful.

 

 Dezi sleeps on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Y, Fanks Raena. Me thinks that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever meowed to me. Now ifin me could just get you to stop pouncin’ on me.

 

I’s haven’t pounced on you once today. (Raena meows under her breath) But, the day’s still early. MOL 

 

          Me heard that Raena!!! C’mon, let’s go finish brekky and try to find a sunpuddle to nap in.

 

 Raena sleeps in bag on chair

 

 

 

(Raena jumps over Dezi and runs to her breakfast plate. Dezi crouches and hisses and then runs to her breakfast plate while shaking her head.) Bet I’s can eat faster than you, sissy.

 

          Hmmmmpht  Me bets you can’t. You’re a bigger grazer than me is. Besides, you’re not s’posed to scarf your noms down silly, you’re s’posed to eat slowly and chew each bite.

 

 Raena yawns while laying in the stroller

 

 

 

You’re no fun sissy. (Raena and Dezi finsh their breakfast and retreat for a morning bath and nap. Raena yawns and meows) We’ll play after I’s have a short nap.

Chatting Cats: A Gooey Lounge Play Date

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. You’re never gonna guess who came over fur a play date. Look’it, It’s the beautiful ginger Annie and her handsum smart eared brofur Pierrot from the Gooey Lounge. We’re so glad ya’ll could paw over fur a play date.

 

Dezi, Annie, and Pierrot lay on the floor

          Dezi: We sure are. Kittens!!! Raena never stops. Me hears you like to romp and play too, Pierrot.

 

     Pierrot: I sure do. I love to play and run. (Raena and Pierrot start zooming down the hall, leaving Dezi and Annie sitting in the chair

 

          Dezi: (Shakes head) Young’un’s!!! Well, maybe those two will tire each other out. Me’s glad we’ve got a few minutes to ourselves. We just luv ya’ll, even tho’ we haven’t known ya’ that long. Me knows we have lots of furiends that’s never even met ya’, so why don’t you tell us a little ‘bout ya’ll. 

 

 Dezi lays on arm of chair while Annie lays in chair

 

 

 

     Annie: Thanks Dezi, and thanks for inviting us over. I’m an 11 year old orange tabby and I came to live with the lady and big guy, that’s what we call our mom and dad; 6 years ago. My previous owners were moving and going to put me in a shelter back in California. I was so very scared at first. It broke the lady’s heart to see how terrified I was.

 

          Dezi: Mommy’s…they luv us so much don’t they?

 

     Annie: At first I wasn’t so sure. But with a lot of changes, I’m very happy and comfortable in my home now. I love the lady and big guy so much. You know, they saved my life, I just know it.

          Dezi: Girl, we are two of the blestest kitties ever. We’ve got the bestest pawrents in the universe. Give me the low down on Pierrot. We just luv his little ears. We think they give him so much purrsonality. 

 

     Annie: He’s got personality to spare then. Pierrot’s 5 years old and 3 years ago the lady and big guy just thought they had to have him. They adopted him from Save the Cats, a local animal rescue that fosters homeless kitties. Really, he’s not that bad. And, a year earlier the big guy had lost his beloved Simba and really needed a new friend. I guess it’s really nice that they saved Pierrot. I’m used to him now. I’m sure you know all about that. MOL

 

 Dezi profile as she lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

          Dezi: Me sure does. At least we have humans with purrlenty of luv to share. How did ya’ll start bloggin’?

 

     Annie: Pierrot and I actually inherited the blog. The lady started blogging back in 2009 for her then kitty Lucy. Of course Simba made a few guest appearances, and then came me and finally Pierrot. The lady had wanted to meet some kitties and people who love cats to share stories and photos with. 

 

Raena: (Raena and Pierrot run through and zoom up the Liberty cat tree) Hey, ya’ll come over here with us. We purromiss not to whacky paw anykitty. 

 

 Dezi, Raena, Annie and Pierrot lay on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

     Annie: I don’t think I can climb up there, my first people had my claws removed. And sometimes my short back legs don’t work just right. 

 

 

Raena: No worries gawjus. Just give mommy “the look”, she’ll help ya’ up and down all day long. She’s the bestest. (Mommy A helps Annie on the tree and gives them all some treats Annie and Pierrot had brought with them) Fanky fanks fur the treats ya’ll, they’re yummy. What kinds of things do ya’ll like to do at home?

 

 

 Dezi, Raena, Annie and Pierrot lay on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

     Annie: I love cozy blankets and sun puddles. We both do really. One of my favorite things is spending the evenings with the lady while she reads or watches teevee. She gives me belly rubs and chin scritches and I just purr and purr. I also love grass with a passion. Sometimes the lady grows me a fresh pot. The lady works from home and sometimes takes short breaks just to spend time with me. I guess you girls are right, we really are the most blest kitties ever. I also like to play with catnip toys. Of course, not too many cats don’t right? 

 

     Pierrot: I Love catnip toys too, Annie. And balls and mousies, and well just about everything.

 

Raena: Me too Pierrot, me too. 

 

 Raena and Annie lay on the Liberty Cat tree

 

 

 

     Annie: Well, we better get back home if I’m going to spend the evening with the lady. We sure do appreciate your kind hospitality and friendship.

 

          Dezi: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanks. We luv ya’ll too. We’re really glad to be your furiends. Give the lady and the big guy some purrs from us and come back anytime. 

 

The Blessing Train

Raena: Sissy, we have the bestest furiends in the universe. Ya’ know what else we need to do today? We need to pick our Blessin’ fur the Blessing Train. Hearin’ ‘bout Annie and Pierrot’s adoptions and thinkin’ ‘bout our own, I’s say today’s Blessin’ is Luvvin’ Furever Homes. ‘Member, you too can hop on the Blessin’ Train fur our 12 Days of Blessings. Just send us a pingback to your posty and/or post your linky in the comments. And don’t furget to check out the Gooey Lounge.

Chatting Cats: The World Stopped Spinning So We’re Back

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Sissy, c’mon, the world’s stopped spinnin’ and we can load our site again.

 

 Dezi sits pretty in the hall behind my chair

 

 

 

          Are you sure? Me’s so tired of waitin’ fur the pages to load. Mommy says it’s cuz we live so far out and the innernet peeps haven’t upgraded the wirin’ ‘round here in like, furEVER. 

 

Raena sits pretty and poses on top of the Litter Robot boxThis box is huge, mommy.

 

 

I’s sure sissy. I’s already checked. What did you think ‘bout that big box we got delivered yesfurday?  

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

          The box is great Raena. It’s what was in the box that me’s not so sure ‘bout. Mommy says we have to use it cuz we’re s’posed to write a review. 

 

 Raena lays on litter robot box

 

 

 

Yeah sissy, but I’s think it’s ‘bout more than just writin’ a review. Mommy seems really x’cited ‘bout it and says it’s gonna be a big help to her. Anyways, I’s just glad we can get back on the catputer. We’ve not been able to visit our furiends fur days. ‘Course, that did give mommy some time to clean the house. You know we’re havin’ a play date soon and we wanna make a good impurr-sion.

 

 Dezi sits with back to camera

Hmmmmm let’s see, where are we gonna put that thing?

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, me can’t wait. It’s gonna be so much fun. We haven’t had a play date in so long. By the way, did you hear mommy on the fone last night with Ms. A, Nub’s mommy? 

 

 Nubs the black and white manx cat looks at the camera

Bye Nubs. RIP

 

 

 

I’s did sissy. It’s so sad. We hadn’t been over to see him in a couple of weeks. Mommy had said we were gonna take him some special treats this week and then this happens. Ya’ know, Ms. A ended up with Nubs after his person died and nopawdy wanted him. We just can’t ‘magine what it must have been like fur him. Mommy says that’s why it’s so ‘purrtant to make plans fur us fur babies in the event we happen to outlive our peeps. Unfurtunately fur Nubs, he went to heaven on Monday. Ms. A had been at her daughters house, and when she got home, Nubs was layin’ in the kitchen almost dead. He died in Ms. A’s arms on the way to the V-E-T. 

 

          It’s really sad, Raena. but, at least he knew luv befur he left this world. 

 

He also knew the joy of a Yeowww nip nanner since we shared one with him. 

 

 Dezi plays with her new birthday nip nana

 

 

 

 

 

          Then ya’ know he was a happy kitty. Anyways, ‘nuff sad stuffs. Ya’ know, Christmas is comin’ up really soon. Me can’t wait fur mommy to put up our tree so we can watch all the lights. You know, you’re gonna have to leave the decorations alone. The tree baubles aren’t toys.

 

Raena plays with the Yeowww nip nana

 

 

Me?!!! What ‘bout you, sissy? I’s seem to ‘member it was you that mommy had to get on to last year.

 

          That’s not true and you know it. Me thought you didn’t ‘member anythin’ ‘bout your furst Christmas?

 

 Raena plays in the gift bag paper

 

 

 

How could I’s pawssubly furget somethin’ like Christmas, sissy? We got lots of purresents from our Angel furiends. And, we got to go visit and sing carols to the peeps in what mommy called an old folks home. I’s can’t wait to do that again. We are gonna do it again, aren’t we sissy? 

 

 Dezi getting love while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Mommy says some of the rules have changed. But, she’s gonna call and ask ifin we can come again this year. Me just luvs all the lights and decorations this time of year brings ‘bout. And peeps seem to act a little nicer too.

 

 Raena sits on bed beside chair, profile

 

 

 

That’s nice sissy. I’s wish peeps would be nicer all the time. Maybe our world wouldn’t be so full of hate.  Ya’ know, we better get busy visitin’ our furiends, and helpin’ mommy clean up fur our play date. I’s’ll race ya’ to the new box.

 

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