Chatting Cats: Mousies, Rats And Nip Oh My

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Ya’ know, I’s went lookin’ fur that fly after mine’s dinner and couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s like it just disappeared or somethin’. Mommy said flies don’t live very long in the house, so he purrobably just went off somewhere and died,. I’s sure hope he don’t start stinkin’ up the place. Humans are always talkin’ ‘bout how their house smells like somethin’ crawled up in the walls and died. Maybe it’s flies. Maybe we’re bein’ over run with the little buggers. Ya’ think?

 

Dezi lays on the chair arm while looking down, selfie

 

 

 

          Raena, flies don’t stink up a house when they die. Where’d you ever get that idea? When peeps say those kinds of things, they’re usually talkin’ ‘bout mousies or some other kind’a vermin. 

 

Raena sits pretty in the chair

 

 

 

Mousies? You mean there are really in truly live mousies? Have you ever seen a live mousy, sissy?

 

          You mean outside of the pet store Raena? Hmmmmm  Well, me thinks me ‘members seein’ one at BlogPaws the year we went. Yeah, there was a blogger there that was carryin’ ‘round the biggest mousy me’s ever seen. Mommy says it was really a rat, but rats schmats, aren’t they the same thing? Least they’re in the same furmily, Dinner rodents. MOL 

 

Raena hunches on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Really sissy? Have you ever had mousy or rat? Does it taste anythin’ like rabbit or chicken? 

 

Dezi looks up at the cat tree while laying on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

          Nah Raena, me’s never had mouse or rat. Mommy’s scared of ‘em. She says they have huge sharp teethies and bite. She says they carry disease and parasites, so the only mousies we’re ever gonna get are the furry nip filled kind.

Sharp teethies and disease, huh? Well sissy, I’s think I’s fine with only gettin’ the furry nip filled mousies. I’s don’t want anythin’ that might send me back to the V-E-T’s office. No way.

 

          Me either Raena. You know, several of our furiends hunt mice all the time, and me doesn’t mean the furry nip filled kind.

 

Raena sits stop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Well sissy, I’s guess ifin they enjoy it, then it’s okay. You know, different strokes fur different kitty folks. Ya’ know, I’s can’t ‘magine any kitty choosin’ mousies over nip. Kittens, I’s luvs nip. Nip toys, nip mats, nip plants, nip any and every way. I’s just luvs the stuffs.

 

Dezi plays with the nip nanner

 

 

 

          Me too Raena, me too. Me’s favorite bein’ the Yeowww nip nanner. Ya’ know, me’s been thinkin’ those Yeowww peeps should be payin’ us as much as we purrmote their silly purroducts. 

 

I’s agree sissy. Ifin they actually paid us, we could buy more nip nanners. Wouldn’t that be fun? Can you ‘magine nip nanners in every room? 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, Selfie

 

 

 

          That would be fun Raena, but me doesn’t think that’s gonna happen anytime soon.

 

Raena lays on the liverty cat tree

 

 

 

Well sissy, with all this meowin’ ‘bout nip, I’s think I’s hear some nip callin’ mine’s name. Wanna play? 

 

 

          Yeah, sure Raena, me’s right behind ya’. (Dezi lays down on the cat scratcher and mumbles) Me’s just gonna have a little nap furst. 

 

(Raena runs off to find a toy and looks back at Dezi laying on the scratcher) Sissy?! Let’s play!!!

Chatting Cats: Raena’s KitNip Birthday Box

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s been so crazy ‘round here lately and we’re so far behind, I’s don’t think we’ll ever get all caught up. Then mommy goes and says somethin’ like “All caught up is a relative statement, baby. Sometimes, life has to take precedence over play. If we want to keep a roof over our heads, then mommy has things she needs to do to keep that roof. And that sometimes means spending time running errands, making copies, calls and getting together all pertinent paperwork to re-certify our lease.” Hmmmpht How am I’s s’posed to argue with that? 

 

Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree and Raena lays on the top ledge

 

 

 

          You’re not Raena, you’re just s’posed to accept it and be glad that mommy takes good care of us. Now, me thought we were gonna meow ‘bout that box we got just in time fur your Birthday last month.

 

Raena checks out the the KitNip box

 

 

 

We are sissy, I’s was just makin’ sure mommy knows how furustrated I’s am ‘bout all the time she’s spendin’ doin’ things that don’t include us havin’ fun or visitin’ our furiends. But, you’re right, that was a purretty fun box we got. The peeps at Kit Nip Box sent us one of their pawsum subscription boxes just in time fur mine’s Birthday. Unlike mommy with her birthday purresent, I’s had to wait to open mine’s.

 

          Why don’t we meow a bit ‘bout the KitNip Box befur we get to what was inside. 

 

KitNip box

 

 

 

Good idea sissy. The KitNip Box is a monthly subscription box filled with goodies fur the felines in your home. They have 2 different box plans, $19.99 a month and $29.99 a month. Fur $19.99 you get 5 purroducts hand picked fur kitty and 7 in the $29.99 box. Boxes are shipped out on the 1st and 15th of each month and your credit card is charged 1 – 7 days prior to each shipment. They currently ship boxes to addresses in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. Ifin ya’ live somewhere else, they say to call their customer service number to see what they can do to get a box to ya’. Shippin’ is furee fur the U.S. and $6.95 – $7.95 fur other countries.

 

Dezi sniffs toys from the KitNip box

 

 

 

          Don’t furget to meow ‘bout the charity work Raena. Each month the KitNip Box peeps donate a portion of the proceeds and products to shelters, rescues, TNR efforts and other feline welfare causes, like the Paw Project, Wayside Waifs, SAAP and more. Y, any organization can apply fur help just by contactin’ ‘em.

 

Raena sniffs the Pure Bites minnow treats

 

 

 

We always luvs it when a company helps out those kitties less furtunate than us, don’t we sissy?. Anyways, let’s get on with the goodies inside that box. Our box had 5 toys and a bag of Pure Bites freeze dried fish treats; minnows the bag said. Let me tell ya’ those were the biggest minnows ever. Mommy says she used to fish and use minnows as bait, but, she’d never seen one as big as these. Seems the whole fish was freeze dried and cut into large chunks…too big fur us so mommy had to break up a piece befur we’d even look at it. As most of ya’ know, we’re not really fish eaters here and these treats were no x’ception. Uh huh, We weren’t havin’ ‘em. On to the toys. There was a couple different mousies that are just the right size fur carryin’ ‘round and playin’ with. And, there was a new wand toy with a soft plushie at the end. 

 

Dezi turns her head away from the Pure Bites Minnow treat

That’s a big ole chunk ‘o minnow.

 

 

 

          Did you see the umbrella Raena? Me still hasn’t figgered out what we’re s’posed to do with that?. Me kind’a liked the big yellow cat face. Mommy needs to soak it in some nip or silvervine and then it’ll be just purrfect to roll ‘round on. Ya’ know, as subscription boxes go, the KitNip box is okay. Me would give it 2 paws up, mostly cuz they give back to feline charities.

 

We received the KitNip Box in exchange for our honest opinion. As always, we tell it like we see it and only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and friends. All opinions expressed here are our own. 

 

Yeah sissy, I’s agree. We’re purretty spoiled and have some of the bestest toys on the meow-kit. But, we think this would make a great gift fur any kitty in your life. I’s would give it 2 paws up as well. Mommy said she thought it was a bit overpriced, but it’s on purr/par with all the other subscription boxes out there. We were really x’cited that the peeps at KitNip Box are lettin’ our furiends and readers save 15% off their furst box when they use our special coupon code: DEZIZ. I’s sure did ‘purreciate receivin’ our box fur mine’s birthday. ‘Course I’s luvs gettin’ gifts any day of the week. Meowin’ of Birthdays, I’s hope we get somethin’ special fur mommy’s Birthday this weekend. You did meow that mommy celebrates us on her special days, right sissy?

 

Dezi looks over the toys from the KitNip box

 

 

 

          She does Raena, but we should purrobably try to do somethin’ nice fur her too. Let’s go put our heads together and see what we can come up with. 

 

I’s right behind ya’, sissy. I’s know the furst thing we can do is avoid purrjectile vomitin’. Anyways, we’ll see ya’ll soon. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: A Nip Kicker Of a Birthday Surprise

MeOW Hey Raena, are your furs keepin’ ya’ warm enuff?

 

 Dezi sits over the Kitty Kick Stix and looks back as Raena walks away

 

 

 

          What? What are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy? 

 

Oh nuffin’. Me was just bein’ silly. Me’s just so glad to have a Wednesday without the lawn crew, me’s meows can’t ketch up with me’s brain. 

 

Raena lays on her food mat

 

 

          Uhhhhh,  Sissy, I’s thinkin’ you might need a nap. You ain’t makin’ no sense whatsoever. Is that what comes with age? 

 

Are you callin’ me old? 

 

 Dezi rolls on kicker while Raena watches

 

 

 

          ‘Course not, sissy. But, you do have a birthday comin’ up in a few days. Ya’ know, sometimes the nummers speak fur themselves. (Looking over at Dezi who has eyes big as saucers and is rolling around on a new nip toy, Raena meows) Ohhhhhh Now I’s see why you ain’t makin’ any sense…It’s Nip!!!  

 

 Dezi licks paw while playing with the Kitty Kick Stix

 

 

 

It’s some really good nip too Raena. Me thought it was time fur another of me’s special birthday give aways. 

 

          Pawsum idea sissy. Are you “sober” enuff to meow ‘bout our new kicker?

 

This is a sponsored post. We received the Kitty Kick Stix in exchange for our honest review. All opinions are our own and always told as we see it. We only bring products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you, our readers and friends. 

 

 Dezi lays on cat mat and looks at the Kitty Kick Stix half out of the wrapper in front of her

 

 

 

Me’s fine Raena. Ya’ make it sound like me’s doin’ somethin’ bad. You know mommy doesn’t allow anythin’ like that in our house. Anyways, me’s really x’cited. Not only is the Kitty Kick Stix an amazin’ kicker toy, the peeps there are lettin’ us give away not one, but two, count ‘em (holds both front paws up) two Kickers. And, all our Canadian furiends can enter right alongside those in the USA. What a way to celebrate me’s birthday.

 

 Raena rolls in the Kitty Kick Stix wrapper

 

 

          You’re right ‘bout that sissy. Can I’s have a turn with the Kicker? This wrapper is purretty pawsum, but I’s thinkin’ I’s would like to give that kicker a little what fur too. 

 

 Dezi rolls on Kitty Kick Stix

 

 

 

Yeah, maybe later. It’s me’s birthday that’s comin’ up, so me should get to play with it as long as me wants too. Why don’t you meow to everypawdy a little ‘bout the Kicker itself. Then you can have a turn.  

 

 Raena plays with Kitty Kick Stix wrapper

 

 

 

          Okay sissy, that sounds fair. We were really x’cited when the peeps from Kitty Kick Stix contacted us. We’d heard rumors ‘bout these large kickers with amazin’ nip and couldn’t wait to try it ourselves. We received the Original 15” handmade in the US of A Kitty Kick Stix in a fun cat image soft cotton fabric layered with Organic Nip. There are several designs and sizes available and cost t’ween $4.95 to $29.95. But, guess what? They’re havin’ a sale right now that’s dropped those purrices even lower. And even better, they’ve given our readers a special code that will let them save an extra 15%. Just use ‘DWORLD’ at the checkout.

 

 Dezi rolls with abandon on Kitty Kick Stix

That’s right, you can buy one or 10 Kitty Kick Stix today, and in a couple years when ya’ want a furesh Kicker, just ‘member to use ‘DWORLD’ at the check out and you can save 15% off that order too.

 

 Raena rolls in Kitty Kick Stix wrapping paper

 

 

 

          Hey sissy. I’s wanted to meow a bit more ‘bout those fabrics. Ya’ know some kitties kick like lions and need a stronger fabric to ensure their Kicker doesn’t rip. That’s no problem for the Kitty Kick Stix team. Each Kicker is handmade to order and shipped within 72 hours and they even have a ‘It Rips, We ship’ guarantee on some of the more sturdy fabrics called the Clawtastically Strong. And, ifin they don’t get your Kitty Kick Stix shipped out within that 72 hours, they’ll actually send you a 6” kicker, gratis. That means furee. Did I’s mention they give back to the community? Let me meow a little ‘bout that. Startin’ in 2016, the Kitty Kick Stix team started pawrtnerin’ with multiple rescue organizations to donate a purrcentage of each order to the rescue of your choice. Ifin ya’ happen to be one of those rescues who would like to receive help, you can apply here

Ya’ know, we wish every kitty in the universe could have the pawsum luvvin’ furever home like we do, so it’s really nice to know that those kitties waitin’ fur their furevers can enjoy some of the finer things in life…like the pawtastic Kitty Kick Stix. Obviously me gives the Kitty Kick Stix (meow that fast 3 times- mol)  4 paws up. What ‘bout you Raena? 

 

Raena sleeps after having played hard with the Kitty Kick Stix

 

 

 

          Well sissy, I’s think it’s soooooooooooooo good that it knocks me right out. Ya’ know, Nippy Nappy time. MOL  Anyways, 4 paws up from me too. Mommy said she liked that it was big enuff to satisfy big kitty girls like us. Ya’ know, sometimes bein’ such big kitties can have it’s disadvantages.

Hunt, Kill, Eat Your Breakfast

(Raena zooms through the house letting out her signature hum each time her right paw hits the floor. She rounds the corner and leaps onto mommys lap purring so loudly, it’s almost mistaken for a growl. Her eyes dart from left to right and she catches a glimpse of Dezi in the distance.)

 Raena lays in mommy's lap

(Dezi rounds the corner and heads for her breakfast plate as Raena leaps from mommy’s lap with all 4 paws outstretched. She looks much like a flying squirrel <mommy’s not fast enough to catch this on camera, but continues to try>. She lands on the other side of Dezi and turns and zooms up the Liberty cat tree. Dezi hisses but Raena’s already out of reach. Dezi settles in to eat and Raena steps from ledge to ledge down the Liberty cat tree and walks back over to mommy and rubs her legs and looks up. Mommy reaches down and lifts Raena to her lap and gives her a kiss and says,) Honey, you need to calm down and eat your brekky. See how nice sissy’s eating her brekky? That should be you too.

 

Raena looks out from the top of the Liberty cat tree

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

Dezi looks up from her breakfast plate and over at Raena

          (Dezi looks up from her plate)  Raena, did you hear mommy? You need to come down here and eat your brekky. And that doesn’t mean play with mes tail.

 

I’s don’t wanna eat right now sissy. I’s not hunted and killed anythin’ yet.

 

          We don’t have to hunt and kill our noms Raena, mommy purrvides us with great noms served up on silver platters.

 

Raena eats breakfast

I’s thought they were china, sissy?.

 

          Oh Kittens, Raena!!! Me didn’t literally mean silver, altho’ mommy says our china plates do have silver edges. Me was just makin’ a point. That point was that you have all the food you need without ever liftin’ a paw.

 

 Raena carries a Christmas toy from Cat and Lisa

I’s know sissy. But you know how much I’s like to hunt and kill befur every meal. But I’s lost mines new favorite prey.

 

          Well, ifin ya’ didn’t take everythin’ to the kitchen where the black holes of the oven and furigerator live, you might not lose stuffs so fast. 

 

 Raena heads to the kitchen with the nip nanner

Raena heads to the kitchen, nip nanner in tow.

 

Well sissy, I’s went fishin’ in the black hole under the oven last night, but mommy wouldn’t help me. All she had to do was move da oven and I’s coulda checked fur mines new favorite prey.

 

          Mommy can’t move the oven silly. You know that. Do you want mommy to fall down again? Or pass out? 

 

Of course not sissy. But she coulda just took that big pull out out and let me under there. I’s know fur sure there’s at least one silvervine stick, fluffy ball, mines awnty Ellen fishy, and somethin’ with feathers on it in that black hole. And maybe mines new favorite prey.

 

 

Dezi sits on the brown cat tree in her signature pose

          Well Raena, me suggests you find another new favorite prey. Least till the new helper comes to work. Cuz me doesn’t think mommy’s gonna be pullin’ out anythin’ or movin’ furniture any time soon. We got lots of great new toys fur Christmas. Pick one of them.

 

Ya’ know sissy, this is one of those educational moments. Attention all kittys’ slaves… 

 

          Raena!!! 

 

 Raena plays hunt, catch, kill with the wand toy

Uh, yeah, me means “Attention all kittys’ pawrents.” Did you know that we kitties still have some wildness in us? Yep, even us gentle giant Ragdoll cats. Obesity is a real purroblem in house cats. That obesity can cause all kinds of health issues, that could have been avoided, or at least kept at bay fur many years. A kitty’s true nature is to hunt and kill befur we eat. Those of us furtunate enuff to have a furever home with luvvin’ pawrents, no longer have to do this. But just cuz we don’t have too, doesn’t mean the drive isn’t still there. 

 

Raena fly fishing with a wand toy

You know, we think D-I-E-T is a four letter word in our house, but we know it’s sometimes necessary. But there are other ways to keep kitty happy and healthy. Rigorous play not only serves to wear us out, but is also a good way to help us shed those extra pounds. It’s also a good way to entice us to dine on a schedule. With all of the infurmation available today, mommy has learned that kibble isn’t an optimal diet fur any kitty. And that kitties don’t really need food available 24/7. Even the tiger who stashes her kill, doesn’t munch off and on all day and night. That bein’ said, the kitties in mommy’s house have been eatin’ on a schedule fur years now, and I’s don’t know any different. Mommy says I’s need to insert the fact that as a kitten I’s get an extra meal or two each day to meet mine’s growin’ needs. Altho’ we’re not yet eatin’ the complete raw diet mommy would like us too, we do eat the next bestest thing, freeze dried raw. And befur each meal we have a little game of hunt and kill where we build up our appetite and satisfy those wild urgings. MOL 

 

Dezi sits on arm of chair

          That was a great little lesson you purrsented Raena. Me’s kinda impurressed. You’re gonna have to get off mommy’s lap and close out the posty ifin you plan to #hunt, #kill and #eat this meownin’. Furst let’s link up with Rascal, Rocco and their co-hosts fur the weekly Pet Parade

Raena looks out the door from her perch on the Liberty Cat tree

Sissy!!! Did you see that birdy? Maybe I’s can hunt, ketch and kill him. 

 

          Shut it down furst Raena.
