Chatting Cats: Christmas Excitement

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?  

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A

 

 

 

          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

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A -selfie

 

 

 

          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.

Chatting Cats: A Countryfied Friday

(Dezi, laying in the chair and sleeping, mews quietly a few times and then jolts awake)  MeOW Hissssss Move over RaenaBelle, your hoggin’ the mommy warmth. (Looking around and realizing she’s not in the bed and mommy is sitting across the room, she quickly runs over to the cat tree and cleans her paw.)  Kittens!!!  It seems even colder today. 

 

Dezi licks paw while sitting on cat tree and Raena looks out door from small perch

 

 

 

          It is sissy. Don’t you hear the heater keep switchin’ on? I’s heard mommy tell the counselor that she sets it on 55°F, cuz ifin it gets that cold in the house, the we obviously need some heat.  

 

Dezi bathes while sitting on cat tree and Raena looks out door from perch

 

 

 

Me’s thinkin’ she might need to turn it up a few degrees Raena. Like maybe another 10 or so. Ya’ know when the fan’s blowin’ right on ya’ circulatin’ the cold air, ya’ gotta get heat from somewhere. Me knows mommy can’t breathe ifin it gets too hot, but seriously, it ain’t s’posed to be this cold inside the house.  

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap with mouth open and tongue out

 

 

 

          I’s agree sissy. But, I’s don’t think mommy knew it was gonna turn that cold when we went to bed this meownin’. Ya’ know, a storm blew in with high winds, lots of rain and thunder boomers.  

 

 

 

 

You think me didn’t hear it Raena? Me heard it just fine. Boom, boom, boomin’ overhead and blowin’ stuffs all over the place and into windows and doors. Somethin’ kept knockin’ on our window while we were tryin’ to eat dinner. It was somethin’ else. Me thought me just might fall to pieces. 

 

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, least you didn’t run and hide out. We didn’t have to call your name once. Mommy and me are so purroud of you.  

 

 

 

 

Well fanks Raena. Me wanted to be with mommy and help her with her singin’. It always gives me sweet dreams.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

          Me too sissy. The melody was off the chain last night. I’s bet the winter rose even tried to bloom. 

 

 

 

 

Maybe Raena. Least we didn’t need any help to make it through the night.

 

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

 

 

 

          Good one sissy. In case ya’ think we’re meowin’ in code or somethin’…we are. MOL  We thought we’d try to incorpurrate the song titles into our conversation. It’s a little harder than we x’pected. But, fur all those that requested mommy to sing some country songs, we’ve finally got a few recorded and hope you enjoy them. You can also go to soundcloud and lissen to the ones we didn’t include in the posty as well as those from last year.  

 

Dezi sits on cat tree with head bowed

 

 

 

Me’s even workin’ on me’s own song. Anyways, we better run. We’ve got lots to do and not much time to do it in. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree looking up

 

 

 

          I’s gonna link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday sissy.

Tell All Tuesday: Your Pet’s Oral Health Is Important #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We’re so behind it ain’t even funny. But, we’re tryin’ to get caught up on everythin’ and make plans fur the future. You know, I’s luvs makin’ plans. 

 

Dezi and Raena look out window from cat tree

 

 

 

          Like you luv hoggin’ the mommy heat at night Raena? Cuz you did it again last night. Me nearly froze while you were all splayed out next to mommy.   

 

Raenalays pretty on the cat tree

 

 

 

Hmmmpht  What mommy heat sissy? Didn’t you hear her chatterin’? I’s mean, she may not have any teethies, but she can still chatter. Besides, it’s not all mine’s fault. Mommy was so cold she kept scoopin’ me closer and closer and stealin’ all mine’s fur heat. I’s didn’t mind tho’, I’s luvs snugglin’ with mommy.   

 

Dezi lays in chair

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me did see that. She even tried to steal me’s fur heat. But her legs were shakin’ so bad me vibrated right off. Me thinks it’s time fur the cozy ‘lectric blanky.   

 

Oooooh Yeah, I’s luvs the cozy ‘lectric blanky sissy. But it can’t take the place of a good cuddle with mommy. 

 

          You’re such a kiss up Raena. 

 

Raena lays in lap with mouth openSmell mine’s breath mommy. Does it smell nice?

 

 

 

 

Well, least mine’s breath is smellin’ better. Which reminds me, we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout this great supplement we’ve been usin’ called VetriScience Perio Support fur cats and dogs. As most of ya’ may ‘member, I’s had to get mine’s teethies cleaned recently when I’s got mine’s eyes fixed. Mommy says she luvs me no matter what, but that mine’s breath had lost that sweet kitten smell. And, at only 2 1/2 years old she was a bit disappointed that I’s already had plaque build up and needed a cleanin’ in the furst place. So, when we saw that Chewy was offurin’ a product to help with our oral health, we pounced on it. 

 

Perio Support pet supplement

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, oral health is very ‘purrtant. And after all that mommy’s been thru with her own teethies the last couple of years and havin’ sis Lexi who lost most of her teethies by the time she was 5, mommy’s very serious ‘bout takin’ care of ours. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout the Perio Support.

Perio Support pet supplement

 

 

 

Mommy always hates products/supplements that get sprinkled over our food. Mostly cuz we’re really picky. So, when she opened the jar of Perio Support, she was a little nervous ‘bout whether we’d eat it or not. You’ll notice the description says it’s “aromatic”, and it is that fur sure. Mind you, it doesn’t stink, but it fur sure has a smell. And ifin a human can smell it, you know us kitties and woofies can smell it. One usually assumes a smell also means it has a flavor. But, mommy took the chance and sprinkled a bit over our noms and then added water as usual. What happened next was a pleasant surpurrise…we both ate our noms like nuffin’ had changed. Mommy isn’t brave enuff to taste it and we’re not meowin’ ifin it has a taste, but either way, ifin it makes it passed us picky girls, it’ll most likely make it passed your finicky eater. I’s gives it 3 paws up.

          Me too Raena. The VetriScience Perio Support is a 4.2 ounce bottle fur $15.00. We’ve not been usin’ it long enuff to see real results, but ifin it works as described, it’ll be worth the money. Mommy likes to split supplements t’ween our meals so they’ll all look and taste the same. Less chance of us turnin’ our noses up and not gettin’ what we need. As Raena meowed, we both ate our noms as ifin nuffin’ had changed, so mommy gives it a thumb up as well. She’s reservin’ the other thumb till she sees whether or not it actually works.  

 

 

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. We received the Perio Support in exchange for our honest opinion. As always, we tell it like we see it. We only bring products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you, our readers and friends.
