Chatting Cats: Celebrating Furevers And Leaving The Cage Behind

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. How are ya’ll doin’? It’s furinally here, the day mommy said we could celebrate mine’s Gotcha Day. Mommy came and rescued me from a cage in a smelly house 2 years ago on June 8th. I’s was a scared little kitten, shakin’ all over with lots of gunk in mine’s eyes and nose. Mommy says she could feel the tension in mine’s body when the lady handed me to her. Mommy says contrary to mine’s breed, there wasn’t anythin’ floppy ‘bout me. I’s was shaky and stiff as a board. Mommy says her heart broke fur me and mine’s littermates cuz she couldn’t ‘magine what could make such a young kitty be that scared and I’s wasn’t tellin’.

I’s ‘member the exact minute all that tension left and I’s furinally quit shakin’ and flopped like a purr-opurr Ragdoll. Yep, mommy carried me outside of that place and sat me in her lap. I’s could feel us movin’ but I’s had never been in a car befur, so I’s didn’t unnerstand what was happenin’. And then, mommy picked up mine’s stiff little body, held me close and looked into mine’s gunky blue eyes and said she was gonna luvs me furever and ever and that I’s was gonna live with her. She said I’s would never have to be ‘fraid again and then she kissed me and held me close to her heart. I’s could feel her heart beatin’ and just knew she meant it. That’s the minute mine’s life was furever changed fur the better. And, I’s never looked back.

Oh c’mon now, you’ve been here fur a couple of weeks

now, are you ever gonna stop?

 

 

 

          Me ‘members that day too Raena. Kittens!!! ‘Pawrently, you’d never seen a toy or cat tree or bed or anythin’ else. You were like a tornado runnin’ and jumpin’ all over the house. It’s like you didn’t know what to play with furst. 

 

Raena plays with the flying toy
I’s gonna ketch it this time sissy.

 

 

 

I’s didn’t sissy. I’s couldn’t believe how blest you were. I’s didn’t know a kitty could have so much pawsum stuffs. All I’s had ever known was a cage with a pawtty box in it. And mine’s littermates of course, but they’d never seen any toys either. What a life we have. And then you and mommy told me that I’s had awnties and uncles and lots and lots of furiends who already luvved me. It was almost too good to be true. I’s was ‘fraid to go to sleep that furst night. I’s thought I’s might wake up and find that it had all been a dream.

 

Dezi lays on scratcher yawning

 

 

 

          Nope Raena, it wasn’t no dream, it’s been me’s nightmare. MOL  Me’s just kiddin’. You’re alright fur a bratty li’l sisfur. Me sometimes wonders ifin sis Lexi thought ‘bout me that way. Anyways, me saw our furiend Valentine from Noir Kitty Mews hopped in his stroller and headed to our house to join in the celebration.

Did you see the cutesy smilebox card he made fur me, sissy? Pipo and Dalton made me a card too. I’s so blest to have such amazin’ furiends. Fanky fank you all. Ya’ know, this month is almost over and with it goes Cat Adoption Month. But we think every month is Cat Adoption Month as well as every day. There are so many kitties out there that need savin’. Shelters and Rescues are almost always full to overflowin’ with amazin’ kitties just waitin’ fur their furever to show up and tell them they are luvved and will never have to be ‘fraid again. Maybe you’re not ready to adopt a new kitty, but you can still help. Ya’ know fosterin’ is a great way fur kitties to find their furevers, ‘specially ifin they’re one of the fraidy cats that doesn’t do well in cages.

 

 

Dezi lays stretched out on scratcher

 

 

 

          That’s true Raena. But peeps can also donate their time to volunteer. Ya’ know they could go and play with the kitties and luv on ‘em and help socialize ‘em. And shelters and rescues are always in need of supplies like foods, towels, litter, cleaners and all kinds of things. All one has to do is check with their local shelter or rescue and see what they might need at the moment. Easy peasy, it is. Every so offen mommy sacks up some of our old toys and foods that we get and don’t eat and we donate to those kitties less furtunate. And, mommy sometimes drives ‘round lookin’ fur signs of stray kitties who might be hungry. Ya’ don’t have to be rich to help, everypawdy can help in some way. 

 

Raena lays sleeping on mommy's lap

Mine’s favorite place in the whole wide universe is mommy’s lap.

 

 

 

 

Oh sissy, those are all great ideas. Ya’ know what would make mine’s celebration even more pawsum? Knowin’ that we helped to make some kitty’s dream of a furever come true. Fanky fank you all fur celebratin’ with me. Why don’t you take a minute today to see what it is that you might could do fur the less furtunate kitties in your area. Now, let’s go eat some pizza and play with the nip toys. I’s even told mommy to pull out the silvervine.

MeOW Welcome furiends, Dezi here, me needs to clear a few things up fur ya’.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree looking off into space

 

 

 

          Raena: Sissy? What are you doin’? Today’s mine’s day to take the lead. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are all mine’s…mommy said so.

 

Well Raena, you should’a thought ‘bout that when you spent all day makin’ fun of me the other day. This is me’s bloggy what has me’s name on it. Any time you get is just cuz me’s let’s ya’.

 

          Uh uh sissy. Mommy says we have to share everythin’. That means the bloggy’s as much mine’s as it is yours. I’s tellin’ mommy you’re takin’ mine’s day. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, Selfie

 

 

 

Go right ahead Raena, who do you think told me that me could meow today and clear things up?.

 

          (Raena shakes her head) That’s not right, just not right at all. I’s only meowed the truth.

 

Dezi lays on scratcher posing with the wee wee piddle pads

 

 

 

Anyways…You meowed on ‘bout me not usin’ the pawtty box the other day and makin’ it sound like me’s just peein’ all over the house. Furst of all, that’s just not true. But, any time kitty doesn’t use the pawtty box shouldn’t be seen as spiteful. ‘Stead, you should check everythin’ and find out why. In the meantime, havin’ a good piddle pad on hand can make everypawdy a little happier and clean up much easier. So, when we saw piddle pads on the Chewy list of items to try out this month, mommy jumped on ‘em. We got the 8 pack Wee-Wee Gigantic Pads 27.5 X 44. 

 

Raena stands on liberty cat tree posing with the wee wee piddle pads

 

 

 

 

          I’s could’a meowed ‘bout these too sissy. I’s getting’ to use ‘em too.

 

You’re not usin’ ‘em the way they were intended Raena. Anyways, let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout ‘em furst.

 

 

Description

Gigantic Wee-Wee Pads are 14% larger and more absorbent than the average housebreaking pad. Perfect for BIG dogs and multi-dog households! Made with leak proof Floor Armor system, the special quilted top locks in moisture and neutralize odors while the leak proof liner protects floors and carpets.

Key Benefits

  • Built-in attractant draws dog to pad

  • Uses 5-ply leak-proof Floor Armor system with 100% leak-proof guarantee

  • Heavy-duty leak-proof liner protects floor and carpets

  • Super-absorbent quilted core provides maximum absorption, and quick-drying top layer prevents tracking

  • Measures: 27.5 x 44 inches making it ideal for large dogs

 

Let me start by meowin’ that piddle pads can be used fur lots more anipals and things than just pawtty trainin’ woofies. Mommy was really impurressed with the size of these pads. One pad can almost cover the length of our hallway. Me’s not sure ifin that makes a great piddle pad or just says our hallway’s too small; but, sure ‘nuff, one pad can purretty much cover it. There’s 5 ply’s of quilted padding, so they can hold quite a bit without leakin’. Since we’re not woofies, we can’t meow ‘bout the attractant pawrt, but we were both drawn in to check ‘em out. Me even piddled a little on one end. The piddle pad soaked it right up and dried purretty quickly. ‘Course, that made mommy really happy. No pee runnin’ onto the floor or wet spots to step in. Me also noticed that the amonia smell kind’a disappeared when it dried. Also a good thing. Cat urine can smell purretty toxic, so anytime you can hide the smell is a good thing. 

 

Raena stands on cat tree looking at wee wee piddle pads

Ooooh Look’it, a new slide.

 

 

 

          They make great slides and skateboards too, sissy. I’s could ride that thing all the way to the front door. (Raena runs and jumps on the piddle pad and slides down the hallway to the front door) Wheeeeeeeee Here we go!!!

 

RaenaBelle Mayce!!! Quit playin’ on the piddle pads. 

 

          But sissy, they’re so much fun. I’s give ‘em 4 paws up fur sure.

Good fur you Raena. Me would also give them 4 paws up. As me meowed earlier, piddle pads have lots of uses besides just bein’ a pawtty trainin’ tool fur woofies. They can be placed outside of the litter box to ketch any overflow caused by high peein’ kitties. A phenomenon known as helicopter butt. ‘Course, we don’t have that purroblem here. Anyways, we’ve also heard some of our furiends sayin’ they tape them on the walls ‘round kitty’s pawtty box fur those kitties that stand to pee in pawtty boxes without lids. The Wee-Wee company makes several different options and sizes to choose from includin’ odor control. The ones we got don’t say anythin’ ‘bout controlin’ the odor, but as me meowed earlier, the smell did seem to disappear once the piddle spot was dry. They range in purrice from $5.37 to $41.99. And of course, you can always put ‘em on an auto delivery option and save an additional 5%.

The Wee Wee pad is extra long and has 5 ply padding.

 

 

 

          We luvs Chewy’s auto ship purrogram, don’t we sissy? It means we never run out of our noms and other favorites. Well, so long as mommy has money to pay fur it. Anyways, you can always make changes, add to or take away items, skip, cancel or delay any shipment up to 24 hours befur it ships. And you’ll always get a great toy outta the box your goodies come in. The Chewy customer Service peeps are the nicest agents we kitties have ever meowed with.

So true Raena. Anyways, mommy gave the gigantic Wee-Wee piddle pads a thumb up. She was really impurressed with the size and durability of these pads. Mommy said based on the purrice, we paid ‘bout .70¢ purr pad. She thinks that’s a bit high, but she says unfurtunately, these items seem to be a little overpurriced no matter where ya’ get ‘em. So, all in all, these piddle pads were a hit at our place. Ifin ya’ haven’t checked out Chewy’s website lately, ya’ might wanna head on over and look at all the new stuffs goin’ on. They’ve added a lot more purroducts includin’ things fur all the furred, feathered, finned, and scaled anipals in your life. They even have some goodies fur the peeps. There’s always speedy furee shippin’ on all orders $49.00 and up and a low flat rate shippin’ on all other orders.

          Raena: Sheesh sissy, chill out. What’s gotten into you? And what’s lead and where is it? I’s don’t have any lead, I’s all fur and goodness. 

 

Dezi bowed head selfie

 

 

 

Yeah, sure you are, Raena. Get the lead out is just another one of those silly human x’pressions that’s s’posed to mean hurry up.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

 

          So in other words, you just meowed hurry up twice? Like I’s didn’t hear ya’ the furst time. Anyways, what’s up with you; Peein’ everywhere but the pawtty box? Furst you started hollerin’ fur mommy to come carry ya’ to the pawtty box and then ya’ just started peein’ where ya’ stand? I’s mean, really? It’s not very ladycat like, ya’ know?. Have you furgotten that we’re like extra clean and super duper smart? Not to mention, gawjus? 

 

Why don’t you quit tellin’ tales on me and worry ‘bout yourself. Here it is summer time and ‘stead of hangin’ out and watchin’ purrime time on nature teevee from your purrch, you’re sleepin’ the day away in the pawtty box room. Who does that?

 

          Well sissy, the sink in there’s nice and cool. And it’s been really hot ‘round here lately.

 

Dezi looks at camera selfie

 

 

 

You’re right ‘bout that, Raena. We’ve definitely had the hots this past week. Mommy says it’s only gonna get hotter, so me guesses we better get used to it. ‘Course, that brings me to the furst Blessin’ me’s grateful fur this week, air conditioning. We don’t have to try to find a cool spot, the whole house is a cool spot.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          That’s so true sissy. And we’ve got purrlenty to eat, and a mommy who luvs us unconditionally. We sure are Blest kitties. I’s mean, did you see all the noms we got? ‘Pawrently there was a sale, so mommy stocked up on one of our faves, Primal freeze dried rabbit. 

 

Yep Raena, me saw it. And, she just ordered 2 big o’le bags of litter. She says it was on sale fur half purrice. 

 

          That’s great sissy, but maybe ‘stead of buyin’ litter, she should’a stocked up on piddle pads. 

 

Dezi with lowered head and flat ears selfie

 

 

 

Well Raena, maybe me’s peein’ outside of the pawtty box has somethin’ to do with that stinky purrfumed clay litter we tried out last month. Mommy plans on throwin’ it out when our new litter gets here. 

 

          What x’cuse are ya’ gonna use then sissy? Ya’ know, when you still pee on the floor? 

 

Why don’t you not worry ‘bout it Raena. Hmmmpht  Besides, me used the piddle pad, not the floor. So, what’s the furst Blessing you wanna count this week? 

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree looking off into space

 

 

 

          Well sissy, like always, I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur all our amazin’ furiends. Last week we posted a give away and asked our furiends to nominate their favorite shelters to receive a Cat Amazing Shelter Kit of their own. Fanky fank you all fur your nominations. We put all the names into Random Picker and asked it to choose a winner. The lucky shelter that will be receiving an amazin’ purrize is Safe Haven for Cats in Raleigh North Carolina. We hope they enjoy their Cat Amazing as much as we do. We have the most wonderful and generous furiends in the universe. I’s can’t ‘magine life without ‘em, can you? 

 

Yeah Raena, Furiends are always a great Blessing, and you’re right, ours are the greatest. Every day we ask God to Bless them and their families. 

 

          Ya’ know sissy, I’s been thinkin’… 

 

Dezi lays on arm of chair and looks down

 

 

 

Oh No Raena, don’t let your head explode. When you start thinkin’, somehow, we always seem to get into trouble. What do ya’ say we do less thinkin’ and take a nice afternoon nap?. Maybe we can play when it cools off some. Me seems to ‘member we got a new toy this week. Mommy hasn’t takin’ it outta the box yet, but it’s s’posed to be guaranteed to appeal to our sense of kitty adventure.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree-profile selfie

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Then how can you take a nap, knowin’ we have a new toy that we haven’t even seen yet? Where is it? I’s wanna see the new toy now!!! You can nap ifin ya’ want, but I’s gonna go have a little chat with mommy. 

 

You do that Raena. In the meantime, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you all fur bein’ such amazin’ furiends. We luv ya’ll bunches and bunches.

 

          Don’t furget sissy, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

Chatting Cats: The Mighty Huntress Scourge Of Insects

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. (Raena sees something out of the corner of her eye) MeOW  Sissy!!! Did you see that?!!! What was that? Where’d it go? (Raena runs and jumps on the scratcher in front of the t.v. where a fly zooms past her) Where’d you go little fly? Come back here! I’s RaenaBelle, Queen of mine’s domain and the mighty huntress. I’s put fear in all those who cross mine’s path. I’s the scourge of the insect world. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

          Scourge…Hmmpht  You got that right. MOL  Raena, you better be careful or you’re gonna hurt yourself. What would it look like ifin the mighty huntress, queen of her domain was done in by a little fly? 

 

Raena stands on cat scratcher looking shocked

 

 

 

(Raena jumps off the scratcher and back on again and again pawing at the fly. She runs to the door perch, the kitchen and back to the scratcher chasing the fly.) Come here fly, I’s gonna get ya’. Once I’s got your scent I’s don’t stop fur nuffin’. You’s might as well give up now. (Looking over at Dezi, Raena meows) I’s not gonna get hurt sissy. I’s the greatest huntress ever. I’s learned everythin’ I’s know ‘bout huntin’ from mine’s lion furiends in the tv box when I’s was just a baby kitten. ‘Member sissy? I’s helped them hunt a buffalo, and a zebra, and even a giraffe.

 

Raena stares at fly while sitting on the cat scratcher

Come ‘ere fly, just a little closer…

 

 

 

          Yeah, yeah, yeah, Raena. Me ‘members you sittin’ in front of the tv blockin’ everypawdy’s view. The lions did all the huntin’ and the killin’.,,And all the eatin’ too ifin me recalls. MOL  You just chattered on pawin’ at the tv. (The fly zooms past Raena who jumps down and follows it up the liberty cat tree where she loses it for a minute. The she sees it twirling around the ceiling fan and she leans forward looking as tho’ she’s going to leap onto the fan blades) RaenaBelle!!! Don’t you dare jump on the ceiling fan from there. You’ll fall and hurt yourself and mommy’ll have a literal heart attack. Ifin you got all cut up and broken mommy would never furgive you. Besides she hasn’t ordered any of that fauna-care first aid spray. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

I’s not gonna get hurt sissy. I’s indestructable, like that superman. Yeah, I’s RaenaBelle the SuperCat. I’s need a cape to go with mine’s crown. I’s never gonna stop till I’s ketch that fly. And, I’s not gonna get hurt. Mommy’ll make sure that never happens. You know she’s always sayin’ how she’d never let anyone or anythin’ hurt us no matter what. So see? I’s purrfectly safe. 

 

          But Raena, mommy can’t do anythin’ to save ya’ ifin you do somethin’ stupid. 

 

Raena sits on the liberty cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

That’s not nice sissy. You’s better take it back or I’s gonna tell mommy that you called me stupid. 

 

          Me didn’t call you stupid Raena, but it’s beginnin’ to sound like you might be. 

 

Now, where’d that fly go? Come here mine’s purretty, I’s gonna get..Oooooh dinner. Well fly, it’s been fun playin’, but I’s gotta go eat dinner.

 

          Hmmmpht The great huntress that doesn’t stop fur nuffin’ huh? Hey, wait fur me, me’s hungry too.

 

Stay in your own plate sissy. Ya’ know, I’s sure glad I’s don‘t have to hunt fur mine’s own food. That’s a lot of work. Fanky fankfully we’ve got a mommy that fixes our meals fur us. There are so many kitties out there that don’t have a mommy like we do. I’s so wish they all had their own furever homes full of luvs. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, selfie

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me too. Ya’ know, June is Adopt a Shelter Kitty month. Me sure hopes lots of kitties find their furevers. In the meantime, me can’t wait to see which shelter our furiends choose to receive their Cat Amazing Shelter kit. Don’t furget to visit our Blest Sunday posty to nominate your favorite U.S. shelter or rescue and enter to win a Cat Amazing fur yourself.

 

Let’s go eat sissy.
