Chatting Cats: Dear Santa

Hey Raena, we need to hurry and eat our brekky, we’ve got lots to do today. (Dezi hears a noise in the distance and runs over to mommy’s chair to get a little reassurance. Raena runs to the perch and looks out the door and sees the lawn crew blowing leaves all over the place.)  Hisssss What are they doin’ here?!! Can’t they see everything’s dead?  

 

 

Raena looks out door from perch

 

 

 

          I’s reckon that’s purrobably why they’re here sissy. We need somepawdy to blow all those leaves off our porch. Mommy had to wade thru a huge pile last night so she could check our mail. They better get our leaves befur they pack up and go.  (Raena sees the lawn crew packing up without blowing the leaves off the porch.)

 

Dezi lays in chair

 

 

 

That doesn’t make me like ‘em tho’ Raena. Anyways, tonight’s the night we head to the North Pole with the Cat Scouts to visit Santa. Let’s get our letters ready, okay?  

 

Raena dressed as gingerbread womanIsn’t mime’s gingerbread girl outfit cute?

 

 

 

 

          Okay sissy. I’s really glad you decided to let me come with ya’ll. This is gonna be so much fun. Why don’t we combine our letters. You can start while I’s go link us up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday

 

Sounds good Raena.

  Dear Santa,

   It’s me, Deztinee. Hope your year’s been a good one. Me’s been a good girl…mostly. Me’s spent a lot of time reflectin’ on how Blest me is to have a luvvin’ furever mommy and home. Me even thinks Raena’s a blessing. Me so worries fur the kitties that don’t have the security me does. To know what it feels like to be so luvved that you can do no wrong. To never have to go to bed hungry or scared. To never have to worry ‘bout the weather or ifin somepawdy’s gonna hurt me. Me never has to wonder ‘bout what tomorrow may bring, me just knows that mommy will take care of me.

 

  It seems no matter how much infurmation’s available or what peeps are told, they still think kitties can survive on their own outside. Me knows that a lot of those kitties will never fully trust humans again. But, fur those who can, could you purrlease find ‘em a furever home of their own? And fur the rest, maybe you could spare some supplies fur their caretakers. Me knows it sometimes seems like a fankless job, but fur sure those kitties they care fur are grateful, as are we.

 

  And fur all those anipals waitin’ in shelters, could you send them furever mommies and daddies? Livin’ in a cage is no kind’a life, just ask Raena. We know there are some pawsum shelters out there, but there’s nuffin’ in the universe like havin’ your own luvvin’ family. And fur those shelters and rescue groups, could you purrlease give them lots of supplies and volunteers so they can help more anipals in the future.

          Hey ya’ Santa, I’s RaenaBelle am here too. Mommy says I’s purrfect…most of the time. I’s won’t repeat what sissy meowed, but I’s would like all that too. And I’s know I’s meow fur both of us when I’s ask that you give our furiends everything they want. They’ve been such amazin’ furiends to us, they all deserve the world. We get so happy when we see our furiends happy.

 

          I’s know things are a bit crazy ‘round here fur us, but sissy and me are so Blest to have our luvvin mommy that we don’t really need anythin’. I’s mean, sure there are things we’d like to have, but mommy makes sure we have purrlenty of food and cuddles that it would really be selfish to ask fur more.

 

          Hey, ifin they make a don’t worry pill, maybe you could leave a couple fur mommy tho’. Ifin not, that’s okay, sissy and me have plans to give her lots of extra luvvin’ fur Christmas. And maybe you could leave a little somethin’ fur sissy. She really is a good sissyfur and I’s luvs her so much. She luvs scratchers and silvervine and nip toys. I’s mean, we’ll unnerstand ifin ya’ skip us tho’, we totally get the havin’ to pay fur the goodies you drop off.  

 

Well Santa, Raena and me are gonna wrap it up fur this year. As she meowed, we have everythin’ a kitty could ever dream of. Well, our fountain did break a while back and we sure do miss it; ‘specially Raena. That girl does luv to play in the water. We saw a really cool one that would be purrfect fur both our needs. Maybe you could put in a word fur us fur next year. Ifin we got an allowance we’d save up and pay ya’ ourselves, but mommy said she’d work on it fur us. So, we’re all good. Take care of yourself, have a Blest Christmas. 

 

Yours Truly, 

Deztinee and RaenaBelle   

 

Okay Raena, let’s put our letter in our back pack so we can give it to the big guy in purrson.   

 

          Okay sissy, fanky fank you fur lettin’ me tag along. Do you think we should take a gift fur Santa? Maybe we could share one of our nip nanners. 

 

Great idea Raena. Let’s find one that hasn’t been luvved quite as much as the other. Me would like to meow somethin’ fur the kiddies out there right quick. Ifin ya’ don’t get everythin’ on your list, don’t get mad. Your pawrents have to pay real money fur the things Santa brings to you, and as much as they may want to give you everythin’, it’s not always pawssible. Christmas is in your heart. It’s your family and furiends. It’s the luv you feel. 

 

          You’re so right sissy. And, luvs is the greatest gift of all. I’s know we wish we could send each and every one of our furiends a gift to put unner their Christmas tree, it’s just not pawssible. So, to all of you, from mommy A, sis Dezi and me, we send you luvs and purrayers to keep in your heart.

     And we wish you a Merry and Blest Christmas!!!  

 

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

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.  

 

Raena selfie on cat tree

 

 

 

          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 

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

 

 

          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

          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

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 sarcasticallyMe’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!!!

Blest Sunday: The Blessing Train Is Coming

MeOW  C’mon RaenaBelle, it’s Blest Sunday. Time to count our Blessings. And, since it’s also December, me thought it would be pawsum to bring back the Blessing Train fur our countdown to Christmas. Our sweet furiend Valentine said he would join us. Last year we counted down 12 days of Christmas; but there’s so much goin’ on ‘round the blogospere and the real world so me thought this year we would just run the train on Sundays. And…

          Yeah sissy, I’s so x’cited. Anypawdy who wants to join up can post any days they wish, and each Sunday, we’ll add their car to ours. I’s would luvs it ifin we could make the Blessing Train go ‘round the world.

Me too Raena. To join the Blessing Train, all you have to do is post your Blessings. You know, whatever you’re grateful/Thankful fur and leave the link to your posty in the comments of our Blest Sunday postys. You can post  as many Blessings as you want or just once this month. And each Sunday, we’ll post your link along with your Blessing Train car so others can enjoy the ride.  You’ll find your box car below. You can decorate it any way you want. You may also take any of the train fotos you’d like fur your own posty.

 

Curious Raena sits on cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, this is gonna be so much fun. 

 

Yep Raena, me luvs it when our furiends get together to celebrate. Meowin’ of celebrations, we oughtta celebrate the fact that mommy’s feelin’ better. She even helped me with me’s audition tape fur the cat scouts choir. It’s a wonder we got anythin’ done what with you all up in her face and stuffs. 

 

          I’s just wanted to be in the recordin’ too sissy. Ya’ll looked so funny with your headfones on singin’ along to nuffin’. Least it sounded like nuffin’ from where I’s sat. I’s finally got close enuff to the headfones to hear the music.  It was kind’a like one of those recordin’ studios I’s see on tv, x’cept it was right here on the ranch (our apartment).

 

Dezi the Ragdoll Cat lays on the Pet Cot

 

 

 

When was that Raena? When you head butted the microphone or bit mommy’s nose? Anyways, in spite of all the furry inneruptions, we got me’s audition finished. We even had enuff time to check out some tracks fur mommy to record. Last time, we got some requests fur mommy to sing some country songs. Long ago in another life, mommy sang with several different bands. Things have changed a lot since then. But, we’ve picked out a few songs that we think everypawdy will like and we’re even addin’ a fun Christmas song. We’ll be postin’ those fur ya’ soon. 

 

          Does that mean more singin’ with the funny headfones sissy? 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

 

Me isn’t sure how mommy’s gonna do it yet Raena, but whatever she does, it’s bound to fun. Me will say, mommy’s old country, but ifin ya’ have any requests, she’ll try to sing ‘em; just let us know in the comments below. 

 

          Mommy can sing anythin’, sissy. I’s luvs it when she sings to us. It makes me feel all warm and purry inside.  

 

Me too Raena. Well, me thinks we oughtta get the Blessing Train fired up. We also wanna fank awnty Susan fur her gifty. And me wants to fank all of you who sent green papers fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday. Mommy says me’s gift should be here tomorrow. Me can’t hardly wait.

          Me either sissy. But, that’s not our Blessing fur the Train this week. Today, we’re givin’ Fanks fur all our pawsum furiends. All of you have made our lives so much better. 

 

Red Box CarHere’s a box car fur you to take and decorate any way you wish to add to

your posty. We’ll then add your boxcar to the train fur next week.

 

 

 

Yep Raena, furiends are one of the greatest gifts one can have. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives and Thank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. 

 

Raena gets loving in mommy A's lap

 

 

 

          I’s gonna link us up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and then what do ya’ say we help mommy record some songs sissy?
