Chatting Cats: Christmas Excitement

Published on by Service Cats U.S.22 Comments

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. I’s can’t hardly believe it but Christmas is only days away. Can you believe it? Another year has come and gone. Last night we were lookin’ thru all the pawsum Christmas cards we’ve gotten so far and givin’ fanky fanks fur all our amazin’ furiends.

          After you walked all over and sat on ‘em Raena. Me can’t believe you sat on our Christmas cards. 

 

Raena sniffs Christmas cards while standing in the middle of themI’s readin’ the scent mail our furiends sent us sissy. You should

come check it out.

 

 

 

 

I’s was checkin’ ‘em out, sissy. I’s could smell our furiends. Ya’ know, when I’s was just a little kitty girl livin’ in that cage, I’s could never have ‘magined bein’ so luvved by so many. Every kitty dreams of bein’ luvved and wanted, and when mommy rescued me I’s thought mine’s life couldn’t get any better. I’s had a furever home with a luvvin’ mommy and I’s even got a sissy, but to be a pawrt of a world wide community of peeps and anipals who care so much fur each other, is beyond any kitty’s wildest dreams. And you all know I’s can dream up some purretty crazy things. MOL

          Yep Raena, you sure can. But me’s always told you that we have the greatest most bestest furiends in the universe. On another matter, have you finished writin’ your letter to Santa? Ya’ know, we need to get those done or we’ll run outta time. 

 

I’s workin’ on it sissy. Is your finished?

          No, me’s wants to make sure me asks fur just the right things. We’re so furtunate to be Blest with a luvvin’ mommy who will never ever leave us, and all our furiends. Me feels kind’a bad askin’ fur things. 

 

I’s know sissy, but I’s thought you were really hopin’ to get a new scratcher?

 

          Yeah Raena, it would be nice, but me’s just as likely to hurl on a new one. Besides, ifin we don’t have a house to live in we wouldn’t have anywhere to put it. 

 

Don’t worry sissy, mommy’s filin’ complaints and doin’ what she can to keep our ranch (apartment). Who knows, ifin we lost it, we just might furinally get some place better. Ya’ know, a kitty can dream right? 

 

Dezi, lays in chair

 

 

 

          Now that would be nice Raena. Me would luv to live anywhere that we’re not constantly harassed and threatened. Too bad the big guy doesn’t bring houses. MOL 

 

I’s think that might have somethin’ to do with mommy’s ability to pay sissy. ‘Member? You’re the one who told me that mommy’s and daddy’s have to pay fur the things Santa brings. Anyways, we still have a couple of days to get our letters finished. You’re still gonna let me go with you and the cat scouts to visit the North Pole, right?  

 

          Yeah Raena, several of me’s fellow scouts have meowed that you could tag along. But, you’re gonna have to be on your very bestest behavior. 

 

I’s will, sissy, I’s will. Mommy even helped me find a cute little outfit to wear. I’s so x’cited. Fanky fank you. (Raena gets excited and starts walking towards Dezi)

          Stay back, Raena. No need to be huggin’ on me all the time. Kittens!!!  You can smother a kit with all your neediness.

 

I’s luvs you too sissy. Besides, mommy says she luvs it when I’s wanna be close all the time. She’s never said anythin’ ‘bout me bein’ smotherin’. And aren’t you the one that’s been complainin’ ‘bout not bein’ able to snuggle at night? 

 

          That’s different Raena. That’s the time fur snugglin’. You like to be all up in me’s business all the time. A kitty can never get a break. 

 

Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

 

I’s just luvs you soooooooo much sissy. I’s wanna be near you and mommy all the time. I’s don’t wanna miss nuffin’.  

 

          Well, me would like a nice little nap Raena. So, why don’t you go bug mommy fur a while. And get to work on your letter.   

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap with her paw to her mouth

 

 

 

Okay sissy. Let me just remind everypawdy ‘bout linkin’ up with the Blessing Train. Fur instructions and to see all those already linked up, click here. I’s gotta go get started on mine’s letter. See ya’ll soon. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Mewsy Musical Wednesday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. Yep, that’s right, our ranch has a name. I’s been doin’ some research and seems ranches have a name and a logo they call a brand. But, it seems the only ones who wear this brand are the cows. We don’t have any cows. 

 

Dezi lays on chair arm and Raena on chair back

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, what in the world are you meowin’ ‘bout? Why would you be meowin’ ‘bout cows? You and this ranch. (Dezi shakes head)  We’re not gettin’ cows so you can have your ranch. The only cow me wants to see is the one on me’s plate at dinner time.  

 

You’re no fun sissy. I’s was actually thinkin’ ‘bout askin’ the jolly man in red fur a couple and maybe even a bull. I’s saw it on tv, peeps pay money to ride a bull. Ifin we had one, we could sell rides.  

 

Dezi lays on arm of chair squinting

 

 

 

          Raena, peeps aren’t gonna pay us to ride a bull. Besides, it’d cost a lot more than we could make to feed him. This is purrobably your worst plan ever. Back to the plannin’ board fur you.  

 

Raena sits on cat scratcher

 

 

 

 

Hmmmmpht  Well, I’s thought it was a good idea sissy. Anyways, we don’t really have time fur bulls right now. It’s almost Christmas and we haven’t sent out our Christmas cards yet. We’ve really got to get mommy movin’ in the right direction.  

 

Dezi lays on chair arm and Raena stands on chair back

 

 

 

          That we do Raena. We have been havin’ a little fun helpin’ mommy make some recordings. Last year we got requests fur mommy to record some country songs and a few gospel ones too. Now that she has teethies again and peeps can unnerstand what she’s sayin’, she’s been hard at work to find the music to make these recordings. 

 

Oh sissy, I’s just luvs it when mommy sings. And we’re such good helpers. 

 

          (Dezi meows sarcastically)  Me’s sure mommy agrees Raena. You keep standin’ on her shoulders and head buntin’ her.  

 

Raena looks down from atop cat tree

 

 

 

What ‘bout you sissy? You keep pawin’ at her and stickin’ your face in hers fur kisses. I’s purretty sure she can’t kiss you and sing at the same time.  

 

          Me can’t help me’s self Raena. Me just luvs mommy so much. Mommy says in spite of all our help, she should have the recordings finished by the end of the week.   

 

What does she mean in spite of our help, sissy? I’s don’t think that’s actually a compliment. 

 

          Sure it is Raena, mommy luvs it when we help her.  

 

Raena peeks over edge of top of cat tree

 

 

 

(Raena sees something outside and runs to the cat tree to investigate)  Look sissy, a squirrel!!! How many does that make now? 

 

Dezi lays on chair arm - selfie

 

 

 

          Who knows Raena, it could be the same squirrel we keep seein’ over and over again. At this point he should have enuff nuts stored up to last fur 3 winters.  

 

Where do ya’ think his home is sissy? Do you think he has a family? 

  

Profile of Dezi laying on the arm of chair

 

 

 

          How should me know Raena. He doesn’t talk to me any more than he talks to you. Ya’ know, you mentioned the man in red earlier. You know we need to write our letters?. The cat scouts are gonna be takin’ a trip to the North Pole to visit Santa’s workshop soon. Me was thinkin’ you could tag along and we could give him our letters while we’re there?   

 

Really sissy? You’d let me come with ya’ll? I’s would luvs that. I’s don’t know why you won’t let me join, I’s think we’d have so much fun.  

 

           Maybe some day Raena. In the meantime, we should ask mommy to get us some new outfits fur the trip.   

 

 

 

 

Y, Look’it who’s makin’ the big plans now, sissy. I’s luvs shoppin’. Let’s get outta the door and get ready. We hope you enjoyed hearin’ mommy’s songs today. We’ll post more later this week.

 

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

Chatting Cats: Chats Around The Tracks

Published on by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

Hey, Yo, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Comin’ to you live from the ranch, better known as our ‘pawrtment. Yep, I’s live and in the fur bringin’ you blow by blow accounts of life in the slow lane. 

 

Dezi lays on liberty tree and Raena on the small perch looking at each other in front of the door.

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle Mayce, what in the world are you meowin’ ‘bout? And why are you meowin’ like some hood rat? 

 

Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree looking down at Dezi laying on the edge of the tree

 

 

 

Hood rat?! What’s a hood rat sissy? Do we have any ‘round here? I’s bet’ch’a our furiend Erin would luvs to have a bite of one of those. Let me just look thru our address book and find her nummer. We’ll set out the pawtal so she can get here in a jiffy. I’s bet she could teach us a thing or two ‘bout ketchin’ those things. She may be a princess now, but she hasn’t always lived the pampurred life.  

 

          (Dezi shakes her head) RaenaBelle…It’s nice that you wanna share, but hood rat is just an expression. We don’t actually have any rats ‘round here of any kind. Y, Me’s never actually seen a real live mouse. Less ya’ wanna count the one me saw at BlogPaws that time. But me doesn’t think that one counts since he was somepawdy’s pet. You know, you can’t eat somepawdy’s pet, that’s just not nice. 

 

Kind’a like Speedy, our bestest bunny furiend. Huh sissy?. 

 

Dezi and Raena sitting on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Uh, yeah, kind’a like that Raena. We don’t really think ‘bout Speedy bein’ a rabbit like the ones we like to see on our dinner plates. Speedy’s just Speedy, ya’ know?. It’s kind’a like all our woofy furiends. They’re nuffin’ like those annoyin’ woofies ‘round here and at the V-E-T’s office. Anyways, ya’ got me off track here. Me was askin’ why you were meowin’ things like Yo, and what blow by blows are you relatin’? Nopawdy’s fightin’ here. 

 

Of course not sissy. Why would anypawdy be fightin’? 

 

          Alright Raena, me’s not goin’ down this rabbit hole with you again. Me…

Rabbit hole? When did you get to go outside? Where’s the rabbit hole sissy? I’s wanna see it. That’s not fair that you got to go outside and I’s didn’t. I’s take care of mommy just as much as you do. Ifin anypawdy ought to get to go outside, it’s me. I’s haven’t really and truly seen all the marvels that make up nature on account on mine’s eyes bein’ bad. Now that I’s can see clearly, I’s need to go and check out the world ‘round us. (Raena puts on her pouty face)

 

          Raena, there is no rabbit hole. Well, there purrobably is, but me hasn’t seen it. Nopawdy’s been outside, not even mommy. Seriously now, where’d you get the word Yo? 

 

Raena watches and talks to a lion on tv

 

 

 

TV of course. Now sissy, ifin nopawdy’s been outside, then why are you meowin’ ‘bout rabbit holes and stuffs? 

 

          With as much tv as you watch Raena, you should be more than a little furmiliar with silly human sayings, like down the rabbit hole. 

 

I’s not ever heard it sissy. Maybe the tv peeps bleep those things out. Y, Last night while mommy was makin’ our dinner, I’s changed the channel by mistake and this whole show was bleep bleep bleep. I’s don’t know why somepawdy would wanna watch somethin’ that doesn’t even have words. Quite furankly, those bleeps are a bit annoyin’. 

 

Dezi sits pretty atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh Raena, you still have so much to learn. Once upon a time, no movies had words.

 

No Way, sissy? Really??? 

 

          Sure ‘nuff Raena. ‘Course, that was long befur me’s time.  

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

MeOW  I’s can’t even ‘magine. Anyways, guess that’s all the time I’s have fur today’s blow by blows. We’ve got things to do and peeps to see…or is it places to go and…ah who cares. RaenaBelle signin’ off from the ranch, I’s think it sounds better than the old ‘pawrtment, k? Fanky fank you all fur your patience with us. We’re slowly but surely gettin’ ‘round to visit all of you. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: The Internet’s What…

Published on by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Meowllo? Is anypawdy in here? Sissy, come here, I’s need your help. Purrleeeeease…Nuffin’ be workin’. I’s can’t get anythin’ on this machine to work. I’s tried all the browsers and I’s pushed buttons that I’s don’t even know what they’re fur…and nuffin’. What’s wrong with it sissy? 

 

Dezi lays with arm hanging over edge of the liberty cat tree while Raena bathes on the shelf below her.

 

 

 

          Why are you askin’ me Raena? How should me know what’s up with the computer? Why don’t you ask mommy?

 

She’s busy. She keeps pokin’ a pin in that box with all the lights (modem) and tryin’ to call somepawdy, sissy. 

 

 

Dezi lays on small perch

 

 

 

          (Mommy A finally picks up the cell phone to call the internet provider after trying to reset the modem numerous times to no avail. The automated system picks up and asks a lot of questions, altho’ the opportunity to speak with a live person isn’t one of them.)  Uh Oh Raena, me has a feelin’ this day just went from bad to worse. Mommy hates talkin’ to those silly machines. And did you hear it tell her that a live operator wouldn’t have any more infurmation than it did? Seems the innernet’s out all over ‘round here. Guess it’s a good thing we got that smarty pants fone or we wouldn’t know that even. 

 

Raena lays on cat tree after surgery

 

 

 

The innernet’s out?!! What do you mean the innernet’s out?!! How does that even happen? What are all our furiends doin’? How are we s’posed to check our mail, or edit our fotos or get our posty out? How are we gonna survive? We neeeeeeeed the innernet, sissy. I’s got plans to make and things to do and… 

 

          Slow down Raena and take a deep breath. Furst of all, the whole innernet ain’t out all over the world, just ours. Well, and maybe everypawdy within a hunnerd miles of us. And, the silly machine said they’re aware of it and they’re tryin’ to fix it. So, hopefully it’ll be back on soon. Most ‘purrtantly, our furiends will unnerstand. These things just happen sometimes, and there’s nuffin’ we could’a done to stop it. Hopefully, it won’t be out long. 

 

How can you be so calm, sissy? I’s still have so much left to do to get ready fur your pawrty next week. 

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party inviteThere’s still time to send in your pawrty fotos.

 

 

 

          Me really ‘purreciates all the work you’re puttin’ into me’s pawrty Raena, but me’s sure it’s gonna be great. Me never wanted you to be so stressed out. Me wants you to enjoy it too. Ya’ know, cuz you didn’t really get to have a pawrty fur your special day this year, me was thinkin’ we could both enjoy this bash, ‘specially since you’re feelin’ better. 

 

Y, Fanky fank you sissy. That sure is nice of you to share your catabration with me. 

 

Dezi looks outside door from the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          ‘Course RaenaBelle, what are big susfurs fur?. (Dezi mumbles under her breath) Besides, mommy would make me share whether me wants to or not. Anyways, (Dezi turns and meows to Raena) Me’s sure there’ll be purrlenty of food and fun fur everyone.  (Mommy A picks up Dezi and puts her in her harness) MeOW  Wait a minute, where are we goin’? The last kitty out that door didn’t come back lookin’ too good. Me’s not goin’…Hisssssssss 

 

Raena sits on cat tree and looks to the side

 

 

 

I’s wanna go, take me mommy. Me, me meeeeeeeeeow. 

 

          Ah, votin’. ‘kay, me doesn’t mind goin’ then. You can’t go till your eyes are all better Raena. Mommy doesn’t wanna take any chances with infection ‘n stuffs. Don’t worry, we won’t be long, we’re just goin’ up the street. (A short time later, Dezi and mommy A return from the polls with news) 

          RaenaBelle, oh, there you are. Hey we heard the innernet’s out till some time tomorrow (Wednesday). We ran into the innernet fixer at the polls and he said they had a transfurmer out and had to order a pawrt. So, c’mon, let’s go play with our nanners.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Okay sissy, just let me try to figger out how to make a facebutt posty with the smarty pants fone. 

 

Dezi rolls on Yeowww nip toy

 

 

 

          You’ve been workin’ on that all day Raena, just give it up. Our fone’s too smart to let us open facebutt. Quit downloadin’ apps ya’ gotta turn ‘round and delete. We’ll have our computer back tomorrow. Till then, we can live like we did befur tech invaded our house. C’mon, me will show ya’ how. 

 

I’s comin’ sissy. Kittens!!! I’s can’t believe peeps once lived without tech. (Raena shakes her head while trying to imagine what it would be like to not have computers and technology)

 

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