Hey everypawdy, it’s me RaenaBelle. Are ya’ll ready to pawrty?!! Well come on in and let’s celebrate. There’s food and fun fur everyone. I’s gotta tell ya’, you all look pawsitively gawjus in your masks. Sissy and I’s wanna fanky fank all of ya’ fur comin’ to celebrate with us. 9 years ago on November 1st, sis Dezi came into this world; and a couple of weeks later on the 22nd of November, she chose mommy to save her and be her furever mommy.
That’s true Raena. Me had no idea what me’s life was gonna be like that day; but me knew without any doubt that me belonged with mommy. Our life hasn’t always been easy or fun, but it’s the bestest life this kitty girl could have ever asked fur. Me got an amazin’ sissyfur in Lexi; and she innerduced me to this pawsum world of the innernet and all our furiends. Everypawdy come on in and make yourself at home.
Look’it sissy, I’s got an ice cream truck to come by so everypawdy could choose their favorite. You can even have seconds or thirds. (Raena giggles as she wipes a smidge of ice cream from her whiskers)
Looks like you’ve already had some ice cream Raena.

Well sissy, I’s had to try it out and make sure the ice cream man brought the good stuffs. I’s also hired a caterer to cook us up some tasty eats on the grill and bring veggie platters fur those who don’t eat meat. Don’t worry, ifin ya’ purrfur your meat raw, just let the grill master know. We don’t drink, so the catnip teas and nip juleps are the strongest drinks we have, but who needs alcohol to have fun…right?.

Sure ‘nuff Raena. Me will have a little of that nip tea. It will go purrfectly with that grilled rabbit.
(As Dezi walks over to get a nip tea, Raena motions for the band to come to the stage area.) Okay sissy, you go ahead. Why don’t you mingle and see who all showed up.

Hey Prancie, Sammy, Penny, Joanie, good to see ya’ll. Is any more of the family here? Brody and Trouble are ‘round here somehwere? That’s okay, we’ll ketch up to ‘em shortly.
(As the guests mingle and enjoy games and tasty food, they suddenly hear Raena meowing from the stage) Hey sissy,I’s got a surprise fur ya’. Could I’s get everypawdy to join us in singing Happy Birthday to the bestest sissy ever. A one and a two and a three…
Happy Birthday and Gotchaday Dezi!!! We luvs you so much. And now, I’s would like to let mommy say a few words.
Thank you Raena dear. Happy birthday my sweet sweet Dezi darlin’. The day I met you and you chose me to love was one of the greatest days of my life. You’ve brought me joy and happiness and so much love. I pray and ask God each day to give you a long and happy life with me. I can’t ever imagine a day without you in it. I also want to thank all of our friends for their love and support and for loving my girls. We pray every day and ask God to bless you and meet your every need.

Everypawdy, stay and pawrty as long as you like. We celebrate all month long, so have fun!!! We also have a little contest goin’, so vote fur your favorite mask befur ya’ leave. The winner will be announced next week. Mommy said there will be a small purrize awarded to the winner. We have put family members together since several were sent to us that way and we wanted to be as fair as possible. One last thing, I’s would like to fanky fank The Crooner’s (Pipo, Brody, Dalton, Trouble) fur your purrticipation in our pawsum band.
Till the next time…………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. The colds are here. We went to bed last night with the air conditioner on and woke up as frozen pawp-sicles. Even mommy’s purrsonal summers didn’t keep her from shiverin’. She says that’s what happens at 17°. Even sissy got in on the cuddlin’.
Of course me did Raena. It was cold, what’d you x’pect me to do?
I’s don’t know sissy, you’re the one always complainin’ ‘bout me wantin’ to cuddle. You always meow that cuddlin’ with me makes you too hot.
Me wasn’t cuddlin’ with you Raena, me was cuddlin’ with mommy. You just happened to be in the same vicinity. MOL Anyways, me’s hopin’ mommy turns on the ‘lectric fireplace soon. Me luvs layin’ in front of it durin’ the cold ugly days of winter.
The ‘lectric fireplace? Is it new sissy? I’s don’t seem to ‘member a fireplace.
Nah Raena, it ain’t new. You purrobably don’t ‘member it cuz the lights burned out last year. But, mommy put new lights in it this year, so it should look fine now. We can enjoy the lights right along with it’s heat.
Well sissy, that does sound like fun. Altho’ I’s do purrfur cuddlin’ with mommy fur heat and luvs. I’s actually purrfur cuddlin’ with mommy over purretty much anythin’.
Yeah Raena, me knows. On another note, we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout the new treats we tried the other day.
New treats? What new treats? I’s don’t ‘member gettin’ any new treats.

You know, the Fancy Feast Purely Filets Natural Variety Pack Cat food toppers. They came in a 6 pack fur $12.99. There’s 2 of each flavor, Tuna, Oceanfish and Salmon. They’re also available in 10 packs of single flavors with the addition of chicken and chicken in tuna juice, fur $14.90 to $19.99. Let’s take a look at what Chewy has to say ‘bout ‘em.

Oh yeah, I’s ‘member those. We were really disappointed that the only option available was fish. We don’t get many treats in our house and we rarely get fish. But, since these were 1 ingredient only, mommy said we could try ‘em out. Turns out, we don’t like fish any more than mommy does. I’s didn’t even stick around to sniff the plate.
Well me did Raena. Me sniffed it several times. And then me sniffed yours. You know, maybe yours was better? Turns out yours wasn’t any better than what me had. Altho’ the pack we got didn’t have any chicken, we have tried the chicken purreviously and thought it was okay. Mommy thinks they’re a bit on the ‘spensive side.

I’s sure wish they came in rabbit sissy. Anyways, just cuz we don’t like ‘em, doesn’t mean other kitties won’t. They’d make a great gift what with Christmas comin’ and all. Each filet comes individually packaged wrapped fur fureshness and ease of use. And, Chewy has lots more treats and noms and purroducts fur the whole family. They offur speedy free shippin’ on all orders of $49.00 and up and speedy flat rate shippin’ on all other orders.

So true sissy, so true. Well, we better wrap this up fur now. I’s got a few things to wrap up befur your pawrty tomorrow. Mommy and me worked hard all weekend and are just ‘bout ready. The band’s shapin’ up really well. It’s gonna be so much fun!!!
Me can’t hardly wait Raena. Me’s not sure me’s gonna be able to sleep tonight.
Well sissy, you better sleep, your gonna need your energy. Furiends, don’t furget to stop by tomorrow fur the pawrty and to vote on your favorite masked guest.
MeOW WooHoo It’s furinally Furiday!!! And let me tell ya’, it’s cold and yucky and gray outside. There’s like a bazillion dead leaves all over the place. Everytime mommy opens the door they try to get inside. Ya’ know, some places have these really purretty leaves, but not us. Nope, our leaves are all one color…dead. That reminds me, in case you missed our announcement, Service Cat Furidays will return in the new year. We’re just takin’ a little break. What with the holidays comin’ and all, we thought mommy’s brain could use a little rest. After all, she is the one that has to do all the research and stuffs fur our Service Cat postys. In the meantime, you can always ketch up on any posts from our series by clickin’ the links on our Training Tips and Everything Feline page. And you can always send us your questions via our Contact page.
Wha’ch’a doin’ sissy?
Nuffin’ Raena. Me was just remindin’ peeps that our educational Furidays will be back. Ya’ know, lots of peeps come here on Furidays that don’t come by the rest of the week. Me just wanted to remind ‘em that things would be back to normal after the holidays. Me’s favorite holidays are Fanksgivin’ and Christmas; and they’ll both be here befur ya’ know it.
Mine’s eyes are doin’ really good as you can see.
I’s can’t wait fur Christmas sissy. But furst, we’ve got your birthday/gotchaday pawrty next week. Me and mommy are gonna be workin’ all weekend to put the final touches together. Since we spent so long without the innernet we didn’t get to it earlier.
Me’s gettin’ really x’cited Raena. Me can’t wait to see what you have planned. Me sure hopes it’s better than your business plans. Come to think of it, you haven’t had one of those in a while. What’s up?
Well sissy, it’s not fur the lack of thinkin’, but t’ween plannin’ your pawrty and mine’s surgery, I’s just haven’t had the time to put anythin’ together to purrpose.
Me thought fur sure you’d have somethin’ planned befur the holidays Raena. We need to do somethin’ so we can get each other and mommy a purresent.
Actually sissy, I’s just thought we could go with some of those Purrs With A Purr-Puss. You know how much mommy luvs a good purr. And fanky fankfully, we don’t need any green papers to buy ‘em. I’s been checkin’ the ads and even ifin we started a business now we wouldn’t be able to raise enuff to buy anythin’. Y, I’s couldn’t believe the store’s chargin’ almost $3.00 a pound fur a turkey tom lurkey. I’s didn’t even check to see what they were chargin’ fur hams. ‘Specially since the crazy peeps ‘round here just approved another couple of tax increases. (Raena shakes her head) I’s just don’t get it?. We already have the highest taxes of anypawdy at 10 purrcent and now they wanna go and add another 3/4’s cent to it.
Well then, Purrs With A Purr-Puss it is Raena. Maybe we can think of somethin’ else to go with it t’ween now and then. Me doesn’t know where these peeps get the money fur all these taxes. Anyways, as mommy always says, Ya’ can’t miss what ya’ don’t have.
True sissy, mommy says that a lot. So, ya’ wanna go play? I’s have a little time befur I’s need to get back to mine’s plannin’.
Sure Raena, me will play fur a bit. But, when me meows enuff, that’s it. Okay? Let me just link up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furidays right quick and me will be right behind ya’. Don’t furget to send in your pawrty fotos to be included in the pawrty post and contest. Me hears Raena’s plannin’ a big surpurrise fur the winner.
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?
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.
(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.
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.
There’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.
‘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
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.
Okay sissy, just let me try to figger out how to make a facebutt posty with the smarty pants fone.
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)
