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?

Caption This Foto

 

 

 

          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: When Best Laid Plans Go Awry

Published on by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Welllllll, Hmmpht…….. 

 

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

 

 

 

          Raena? Are you okay? 

 

Yeah, fanky fanks sissy. I’s just have so much on mine’s mind, I’s didn’t know what to meow fur a minute.

 

Dezi with mouth open over nip toy from EllenMOL MOL MOL

 

 

 

          Really? You? Not know what to meow? (Dezi heads for the phone) Hold on, let me call those world record peeps right quick. They’re gonna wanna put this one down in the history books me bets. Yep, the day Raena didn’t know what to meow. Me bets they’ll even wanna make a movie or somethin’. 

 

Very funny, sissy. You’re quite the comedienne aren’t ya’?

 

Dezi lickes paw while laying on the heated cat mat

 

 

 

          Sometimes me does amaze me’s self. Why don’t ya’ start with why ya’ll came home so early yesfurday. 

 

 Raena bathes while Dezi lays in the cat beds behind her

 

 

 

Oh sissy, was that weather skeery or what!!? Power flickers, hot one second then cold the next. And the rain and thunder and lightnin’, oh my!!! And mommy was so tired, she couldn’t even see to clean her teethies and put ‘em in. She didn’t think much ‘bout it tho’, after all, we were goin’ to get her purrmanent ones. Least that’s what we thought. 

 

          Yeah, she did seem kinda upset when ya’ll got home, what happened.

 

Well sissy, that was purrobably a mixture of everythin’ includin’ how tired she was. But, it started when the peeps at the dentist office said that those things she’s been wearin’ were gonna be her purrmanent teethies cuz she couldn’t affurd the new denture. Mommy calmly but furmly flew off the handle and told ‘em she’d been complainin’ ‘bout those things since the day they she furst saw ‘em. And that had she been told that then, she would’a never accepted ’em. And, that at every ‘pointment, she had been reassured that those were just “place holders” and that she would get a new denture that not only fit purropurrly but looked good, ya’ know like actual teeth. They had given her this gummy thing that was uneven, undersized and had teeth, ifin you could call ‘em that, that looked like they fit in a child’s mouth; one that had some sort of gum disease at that. When the girly went to meow at the office manager, me and mommy began to purray. Quietly of course, we didn’t wanna disturb anypawdy else. Anyways, after repeatin’ her story a few times they furinally agreed to make mommy a new one. So, they took new impurrsions and scheduled another ‘pointment fur next week. We didn’t get nuffin’, and as we walked out, they told mommy to be sure to bring that nasty thing next week so they could “see” it. Hmmmpht

           Oh Raena, sounds like we need to do lots of purrayin’ t’ween now and then. Well, did your ‘pointment go better at least? 

 

Oh Yes, sissy. Mine’s ‘pointment went purrfectly ifin ya’ ask me. Seems they had told mommy to just pop in since she didn’t know how long we’d be at the dentist, so we didn’t have an actual ‘pointment time. so, when they closed cuz of the weather, they didn’t call us and cancel. I’s didn’t have to see the V E T at all!!! WooHoooooo (Raena does the happy dance) By that time, it must’ve been a hunnerd below zero out cuz that wasn’t rain hittin’ the car, it was ice!!! Mommy needed some bandages fur her leg and awnty Cindy had sent mommy some green papers to get ‘em so we rushed to Wallyworld to get some and then home. No treats, no bacon cheeseburger, no nuffin’…just home. Mommy did pawlogize tho’. She said next time, that she was so tired and didn’t wanna take any chances with mine’s life and that we needed to get home befur it got any worse. I’s guess I’s can furgive her. I’s much purrfur mommy’s luvvin’ arms to bacon cheeseburgers any day. 

 

 Dezi licks paw while laying on heated cat mat

 

 

 

          Yeah, me too Raena. Did you know yesfurday was show your pet some luv day, and we missed it?

  

 Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Really sissy? Ya’ know what? I’s don’t think we missed it at all. Mommy luvs us so much and not only says it all the time, but she shows us too. I’s don’t think we need a day fur us. I’s would much rather get good luvvins all the time than to have to wait fur a special day.

 

          Yep, me too Raena. Hey, did you hear that our sweet furiends Valentine and Princess Erin also have Blogoversaries this month? 

 

I’s seem to ‘member you meowin’ somethin’ ‘bout that last night sissy.

 

 Dezi sits pretty in front of door

 

 

 

          Well, while you and mommy were out gallavantin’ in the storms and ice, me made plans with them to have a pawrty this Sunday. We hope everypawdy will stop by. It’s gonna be fun, fun, fun, and nopawdy’s gonna take the t-bird away. MOL Sometimes me’s so funny me cracks me’s self up.

 

Sleet in our yardThat’s the ice fallin’ right now.

 

 

 

But sissy, we don’t have a t-bird…do we?

  

          Xxxxxxx-zactly!!! Nopawdy can take what ya’ don’t have. It’s rainin’ ice again. Me’s gonna go take a nap. 

 

 Raena lays on heated cat mat

 

 

 

I’s right behind ya’ sissy. What are we gonna do fur the pawrty? I’s gonna have to dream on it…

Chatting Cats: Today Is The Day

Published on by Service Cats U.S.25 Comments

Hey…HEY IS ANYPAWDY OUT THERE??? It’s Me RaenaBelle!!! (Raena looks around for Dezi and then towards the window as a flash of lightning brightens up the room.) Sissy!!! I’s not sure ifin anypawdy can hear me over all these thunder boomers and storms. Sissy? Sissy, where are you? 

 

 Raena chats from the boxbed with mouth open

 

 

 

          Leave me alone Raena. Me’s checkin’ unner the bed fur intruders. Don’t you have somethin’ you’re s’posed to be gettin’ ready fur? 

 

 Raena bathes while laying on the floor

 

 

 

I’s do sissy. The day’s furinally here. we’re goin’ to town to get mommy’s purrmanent dentures. Somepawdy asked on facebook what we meant, so I’s purrobably oughtta x’plain a bit. By purrmanent, we mean the final denture plate that’ll take the place of these temps she’s been wearin’ fur 6 months. There’s no screws in mommy’s mouth and she’ll still take her teethies out to brush ‘em and all. So technically, they’re not purrmanent. ‘Course nuffin’ with a 6 month warranty is purrmanent, right? But, they’ll be purrmanent fur mommy cuz there’s no way we’d be able to affurd another pair, so they’re just gonna have to last.

 

          (Meowing from UTB) Mommy’ll take good care of ‘em Raena. Don’t you worry ‘bout that. Are you ready fur your ‘pointment?

 

Raena wipes her eyes

 

 

 

Mine’s ‘pointment? (Raena wipes at her eyes) I’s don’t have any ‘pointments. I’s just goin’ with mommy cuz she might need me. 

 

          Oh, yeah. Mmmhuh, sure. Nope, no ‘pointments fur RaenaBelle. 

 

What ‘pointment did you think I’s had sissy?

 

 Dezi lays in cat bed and looks back over her shoulders

 

 

 

          (Mumbling under her breath from under the bed) Nuffin’ Raena. Me was just thinkin’ out loud is all. Ya’ know, ‘bout your eyes. Me knows mommy had wanted to have those looked at, she just needed to pay our balance at the V E T’s down a little so she could affurd to have you checked out.

 

Well, I’s don’t wanna go to the V E T’s office. I’s gonna hope we’re at mommy’s dental place all day so there’s no time to go to the V E T. Besides, don’t you think mommy’s gonna wanna hurry home knowin’ how scared you’ll be here by yourself with all these storms?

 

          How many times does me have to tell ya’ Raena, me’s not scared. Me’s checkin’ fur intruders!!! Anyways, we’ll just ask all our furiends to keep all of us in their purrayers today. Ya’ know, that mommy gets purropurr fittin’ and aesthetically purrleasin’ teethies. And, that ya’ll will be safe out in the storms, ‘specially since mommy didn’t get any sleep last night; and that me will be safe here waitin’ on ya’ll to come home. And, that whatever’s wrong with your eyes will be easily fixed and not cost a lot. It’s gonna kill mommy to not clean your eyes all day. Ya’ know, CK once said your eyes looked pawsum, she didn’t know what we were meowin’ ‘bout. We had to tell her that mommy purrobably cleans those things elebenty billion times a day, and edits out the bad like a blemish. 

 

 Raena bathes while laying on the floor with her tongue out

Hmmmmpht I’s know. Mommy’s constantly wipin’ mine’s eyes. Altho’, it does help me see better when she does. I’s fanky fankful mommy cares enuff to take care of me like that. I’s not sure she’s gonna be noticin’ mine’s eyes much today tho’. She didn’t get much sleep the night befur either cuz of all the storms. So, two days without sleep at her age…we’ll be lucky ifin she doesn’t doze off while waitin’ on her teethies. She says they want her there early in case it takes a few tries to get her teethies right. I’s can’t wait fur when we take fotos and show off her new smile. Altho’ it purrobably won’t be tomorrow. I’s see a long nap and lots of cuddles in our near future. 

 

          (Dezi meows quietly from under the bed while a loud clap of thunder booms over head) Me sure hopes the storm passes soon so me can join the cuddles on the bed ‘stead of unner it.

 

 Raena lays on floor with tongue touching nose

 

 

 

(Raena jumps on the cat tree and waits for mommy to put her harness on and strap her into the stroller. She meowmbles) Guess we won’t be visitin’ our furiends again today. Hmmmmpht We’s better start visitin’ soon or they’ll furget all ‘bout us. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Purr Therapy Is Best

Published on by Service Cats U.S.29 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe January’s almost over? MeOW seems this year’s gonna speed by like the last one. But hey, I’s guess that means mine’s birthday will be here soon.

 

 Dezi lays in box

 

 

 

          Raena, your birthday is still months away. And, we’re not gonna be meowin’ ‘bout that every day till it gets here. Ya’ know, the world doesn’t revolve ‘round you.

 

 Raena lays beside box

 

 

 

What? Yes it does, mommy says so. You’ve heard her, she’s always sayin’ her world revolves ‘round us. We’re her everythin’. Even her Monday ‘pointment said so.

 

 Dezi sits in box looking over her shoulder

 

 

 

          Yeah, ‘bout that Monday ‘pointment… Ya’ know, we’ve had several peeps ask what kind of ‘pointment it is. Mommy hadn’t decided ifin she wanted to talk ‘bout it. But, me told her, our life is an open book. She even said so when we furst started in social media. It’s not like you can keep secrets when everypawdy’s postin’ everythin’. 

 

 Raena's profile sitting in a box

 

 

 

That’s true, sissy. And, it’s not like mommy really cares, or that she’d say anythin’ in that ‘pointment that she wouldn’t let us say here. 

 

          Yep, me thinks it’s no big deal either. Me doesn’t know why the DHS (Department of Human Services) nurse thought mommy needed a counselor anyways.

 

 Raena bathes while laying on the heated mat

 

 

 

I’s think it might have somethin’ to do with all the cryin’ and beggin’ mommy did when she told her they were takin’ away most of her benefits. Ya’ know, a few months ago, the state was gonna stop the benefits fur all the old and disabled peeps; but, they met with tons of resistance and decided not too. What we didn’t know is that they were still doin’ it, they were just doin’ it one purrson at a time. While I’s tried to paw away mommy’s tears, she was askin’ the nurse where she was s’posed to get the green papers fur the medicines that had been covered by those benefits. 

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me could see the nurse felt bad fur mommy, but she just sat there and said her hands were tied. Me thinks the craziest thing she said was when she asked ifin mommy was gonna do anythin’ stupid. Hmmmpht  She doesn’t know our mommy. And then the next day she called and told mommy that she had set her up fur counselin’, and that it would look good ifin mommy was coopurrative. She didn’t say anythin’ ‘bout givin’ mommy’s benefits back tho’. 

 

Yeah, it might not be so bad ifin mommy didn’t know so many peeps that cheat the system, or all those illegal immigrants gettin’ rich off the system. Anyways, least the counselor lady’s nice. 

 

 Dezi bathes while laying on the heated mat

 

 

 

          How would you know, she’s only showed up twice. She showed up the furst week and then cancelled the next. Altho’ not early enuff fur mommy to do anythin’ else. And then, she did it again yesfurday.

 

Fanky fank the cats mommy doesn’t actually need the help. She ain’t the kind to do somethin’ “stupid”. And, she has us, what more could she pawssibly need?.

 

          Me agrees Raena. Mommy’s always sayin’, there ain’t nuffin’ better than purr therapy.

 

 Raena gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Meowin’ of, I’s think I’s’ll go lay in mommy’s lap now and give her some of that purr therapy. You can have the heated mat.

 

          Fanks Raena. (Dezi meows sarcastically) Maybe me wants to lay in mommy’s lap.

 

I’s’ll race ya’…Readyset Go!!! (Raena starts running and jumps over Dezi to mommy’s lap. Dezi shakes her head and lays down on the heated mat to have a nice bath.)
