Chatting Cats: Remembering Lexi

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Sissy? Where are you? What’s wrong? Why won’t you play with me this meownin’?

 

Raena lays on heated cat mat while Dezi lays in front of her

 

 

 

          Me’s here Raena, me’s just feelin’ a little sad.

 

Why, sissy? I’s thought you were tired of the sads and downers.

 

Lexi and Dezi lay together in the window perch

 

 

 

          Me is, Raena. But, that doesn’t always make ‘em stop. Ya’ know your 2nd birthday is comin’ up soon. And altho’ that’s a happy thing and me can’t wait to celebrate; it also reminds me that me’s sis Lexi ain’t ever comin’ back. Me knows mommy’s been missin’ her a lot lately too.

 

She must’ve been really special fur you to miss her so much, sissy.

 

 Dezi lays in sink while Lexi sits on the vanity and poses

          Oh Raena, she was. You would’a luvved her. She was a real boss cat and soooooooooo beautiful. She had emeralds fur eyes that could see right thru ya’. She could be really hissy to peeps and anipals she didn’t like, but ifin she luvved you…she was fierce with her luv. There wasn’t anythin’ she wouldn’t do fur those she luvved. And kittens, did she ever luv mommy. She used to meow to me ‘bout her life with mommy befur me came along. She assured me that mommy would never ever leave us or give up on us. And she used to meow ‘bout her brofurs and how much she missed them. And she luvved me too. Me ‘members the furst time me met her up close and purrsonal like. Me was in the kitchen with mommy while she was makin’ our dinner and in strolled sis Lexi. She took one look at me and splatted me flat on the floor. Belly down and all four legs and paws splayed out.

Well that doesn’t sound very nice, sissy?.

          Well, she was just lettin’ me know who was the boss. Me quickly stood up, turned sideways and puffed out so me would look bigger. Ya’ know, me was only a few weeks old and really tiny. Y, Her head was bigger than all of me. Me thinks her paws might’ve been too. Anyways, she looked at me all puffed out and looked up at mommy and took off down the hall screamin’. And me does mean screamin’. Me had never heard anythin’ like that befur. Me wasn’t sure what me should do, so me looked up at mommy and mewed me’s squeaky little mew. Mommy picked me up and took me to the pawtty box room where sis Lexi was layin’ in the sink. Mommy held me with one hand and gave sis Lexi some chin scritches and told her that me was her new sisfur and helper and that me wasn’t ever gonna leave ‘em. And then she put me right in sis Lexi’s face. 

 

Dezi kisses Lexi while they lay on the floor

 

 

 

Oh sissy, that must’ve been really scary. Weren’t you ‘fraid she might splat you again? Or, bite your head off? 

 

 Lexi lays on nip nanner while Dezi lays beside her

 

 

 

          No Raena, somehow me seemed to know everythin’ was gonna be alright. And besides, me’s always felt comfurt in mommy’s arms. That’s why me picked her to be me’s mommy. Anyways, sis Lexi let out a huge hiss. Me was sure she’d just blown all me’s furs off with that hiss. But, me’s furs were still there and sis Lexi nose bumped me afterwards. That’s when me knew that she was gonna be the bestest big sisfur ever. Me wanted to be just like her. Me watched everythin’ she did and tried to copy her. Everythin’ she did, she did with her whole bein’. It didn’t matter how old she got, she still played like a kitten, with complete abandon. And when she was helpin’ mommy, she was so focused that not even food or treats could distract her. And let me tell ya’, sis Lexi luvved to eat. Well, least she did, till she didn’t. (Dezi hangs her head as she remembers Lexi’s last days) She was so devoted to mommy and me that even on her goin’ to heaven day, she still tried to give mommy a massage and help her in the shower. She couldn’t even harldy stand up and yet she desperately tried to get in the tub with mommy.

 

MeOW sissy, she really sounds amazin’. 

 

 Lexi anhd Dezi play with the air wand toy

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, she was. Me doesn’t really ‘member too much ‘bout me’s furst 2 weeks of life befur mommy and sis Lexi, so me just couldn’t ‘magine what life was gonna be like without her. But me somehow knew, she wasn’t gonna be with us too much longer. Me was so lost without her. Mommy said sis Lexi was all better again, and furee of all the pain and sickness that had plagued her that last year. But me didn’t care, Me wanted her to come back. But, she didn’t. And then you showed up. Me didn’t wanna be a big sisfur. Me wanted sissy back so me could stay the baby. But, like mommy did with me and sis Lexi, she did the same with you and me. So, me’s just a little sad. Me luvs you, but you’re also a reminder that sissy will never come back. Furiday, will be the second anniversary of sis Lexi’s goin’ to heaven day, and me’s just missin’ her and our time together. 

 

 Raena hugs Dezi while she lays on the brown cat tree

 

 

 

Well sissy, I’s might not have known your sis Lexi, and I’s might not unnerstand what you’re feelin’, but I’s here fur ya’ ifin ya’ need me…and maybe ifin ya’ don’t. Like ya’ meowed, I’s here to stay and ain’t goin’ anywhere. (Raena hugs Dezi and goes to get a nip nanner.) Maybe playin’ with the nip nanner will help, sissy. I’s luvs you very much. And, I’s think you’re the bestest big sisfur ever. 

 

          Fanks Raena, you’re not the worst little sisfur either.

 

 Raena stands on the Liberty Cat tree while Dezi looks back at her from the ledge

 

 

 

(Raena looks at Dezi a bit perterbed but doesn’t respond to being not so bad.I’s gotta get ready to go with mommy fur another wax fittin’ at the dentist’s office fur her upper denture. I’s’ll ask mommy to bring you home somethin’ special to cheer you up. Okay?  

 

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

Raena’s First Christmas: Blessings Abound

Raena, calm down. We need to take a few minutes and write our posty. We’re almost a whole 2 days late. We are so blest and yesfurday was a huge reminder of just how much.

 Dezi and Raena with the yeowww cigars

          Oh sissy, I’s luvs Christmas. When will we have it again?

 Raena plays in the gift bag paper

Me too Raena. But me does think you were just a little overly excited. Christmas only comes ‘round once a year and me thinks you need a year to calm down Raena. But you know what? Our furiends are here everyday.

          And all those extra cuddles we got from mommy? Can we have those everyday too?

 Dezi plays with Christmas gifts

Yep Raena, all ya’ gotta do is be available. You know mommy looks fur any chance to scoop us up and hold us tight.

          Mines favorite pawrt of yesfurday was hearin’ mommy laff and seein’ her smile.

Me too Raena, me too. She cried a lot of happy tears, but she also giggled at us. She said seein’ us so happy and havin’ so much fun, makes her happy. We wanna say a meowsy big Fank you to all da Angels dat sent us purresents.

 Dezi checks out the new electric blanket

Mommy was so overwhelmed with joy she furgot to send emails and ask ifin we could use names fur our fank yous (a few peeps had notified us early they didn’t want their names listed with their gifts). So, we’ve decided to show you everythin’ we got without listin’ ‘zactly who it’s from, and then usin’ furst names fur our fank yous. We did get a gift card via email yesfurday dat specified no name be mentioned. You know who you are, and we fank you very much. But dat reminded mommy ’bout da name listin’, so we hope you enjoy seein’ our goodies. We know we fur sure purreciate everything. Mommy even likes da cutesy gift wrap bags from amazon; almost as much as we liked da boxes. MOL

          Is dat a haul or what? We, and dat includes mommy, cuz she got purresents too, wanna say Fanky Fank you to awnties Anonymous, our Cat Scout Angels, awnty Belinda, awnty Vonda, uncle Pete, Timmy Tomcat and furmily, uncle Bill, awnty Jean, Shoko and Kali, awnty Pat, Felix and Maggie, awnty Lisa, Cat and Nugget, uncle Jim, awnty Holly, Tiger, Dora, Trouble and Spooky.

What a day we had. And mommy warmed up dat smoked turkey we got, made some cheater mac and cheese, cheater taters with bacon (from da last grocery box mommy got), dinner rolls and made a cake. We didn’t get any cake, but da turkey tom lurkey and bacon taters were delishus. And did ya’ll see dat aero garden mommy got? She’s gonna be eatin’ salads in no time. You shoulda seen da tears of joy when she opened dat. Fur those of ya’ dat’s been followin’ us from way back when, you’ll know dat mommys’ days of outside gardenin’ is over. But, she never got any of da lettuce she planted back then cuz da rabbits always helped themselves to it furst. Mommy’s gonna be sharin’ those gift cards with us, and who knows, she might even plant us a little somethin’ somethin’ in dat new garden.

Hey, Raena!!! Dat’s mes Yeowww cigar, go play with your own.

 Raena plays with a new yeowww cigar

          Oh sissy, they’re both da same.

No, yours is already full of teeth marks.

          (Raena snickers)

Dat’s okay, we got purrlenty of pawsum toys. Me will play with somethin’ else. Anyways, as you’ve all noticed, we did take yesfurday off to spend time together as a family. We rarely miss and don’t like to miss Blest Sundays, but mommy was in so much awe she couldn’t help us write anythin’. We got behind last week cuz mommy had so many fotos to edit, and she took over a hunnerd new ones yesfurday. So we’ll be takin’ a day or so to try and get all those fotos loaded up on da catputer. Mommy tried to figger out how to use da wifi on da camera to just upload automatically, but alas, she doesn’t understand da directions we guess, cuz they ain’t loadin’. MOL Dat’s okay, at least she knows how to put da card in da catputer and transfur them dat way. We’ll be ‘round to visit as soon as we can, but we purrobably won’t post again till Furiday. But trust me, it’ll be worth da wait. Mommy got some “great” fotos durin’ all da excitement, some dat even she didn’t realize at da time.
