Blest Sunday: Blest In the Darkest Hour

Meow and welcome to a brand new Blest Sunday. The sun is shinin’, at least fur now. The birds are singin’ and the butterflies are all aflitter.

           What in the world are you meowin’ ‘bout, sissy? I’s don’t see any butterflies flitterin’, and I’s don’t hear any birds singin’ either. What is flitterin’ anyways?

Okay, so maybe it’s not a Snow White moment Raena, but it is Blest Sunday. And that’s somethin’ to meow ‘bout.

 

 Raena lays on nip mat on Liberty cat tree

 

 

          I’s agree sissy. Just don’t be lyin’ to our furiends. Mommy says we’re not s’posed to lie.

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

Me wasn’t lyin’ Raena. Me was settin’ the stage. Or maybe it was wishful thinkin’ or somethin’. But, mommy’s right. Lyin’ isn’t right, even ifin it’s just stretchin’ the truth. So, fur the moment, the sun is shinin’, all the rest, was just a figment of me’s ‘magination. You know, no matter what else be goin’ on ‘round us, or how we may be feelin’, we’re bein’ blest every minute of every day. Even on our worst days, when things seem the darkest, ifin we take a moment to give fanks fur our blessings, we feel a bit better. 

 

 Raena sits on perch at door and looks up

 

          That’s right sissy. Mommy says every breath we breathe is a blessin’ that’s not guaranteed. Every furiend we’ve made since bein’ a pawrt of this wonderful world called the innernet, is a blessin’ we never could have imagined. The bond and carin’ shown amongst all of us is astonishin’ and awe inspirin’.

You’re right ‘bout that Raena. A lot of our furiends our goin’ thru some tough times right now. It makes us sad that they have to go thru these trials. But, when we all band together in purrayer and suppurt, things change fur the better. We rarely unnerstand a trial, ‘specially while we’re goin’ thru it, but one way or another, we come out stronger and better on the other side. There are too many needs to list them all, and we wouldn’t wanna miss anypawdy; but you know who you are. Know, that we’re purrayin’ fur ya’ and sendin’ ya’ the biggest kitty hugs ever. Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. Fur luvvin’ us, and suppurrtin’ us, and purrayin’ fur us in our time of need. We will always be here fur you.

          Meowin’ of suppurt sissy, we need to fanky fank a few peeps fur donatin’ to mommy’s dental fund. A meowsy big fanky fank ya’ to awnty Theresa, awnty Kat and LouLou and awnty Suzanne. Ifin ya’ haven’t met our sweet furiend LouLou, you really should check her out. And, ifin you’d like to help mommy with her dental, you can donate thru the fundraiser here, or directly to our paypal with lexi.dezi@yahoo.com. We’ll be goin’ back to the dentist this week, cuz they said the “bite” impurrsion they took didn’t turn out and they need another one. Might have somethin’ to do with the huge overbite mommy has. Oh well, hopefully, this one will work. We just feel blest to be able to have this concern. And, I’s look furward to another mommy and me day out. Those are always soooooo much fun.

Uh, who said you were the one goin’ Raena? Ya’ know, me just might wanna go this time. But, we’ll meow ‘bout that later. Fur now, we just wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. And say a little purrayer fur all those in need, you may never know how much it was needed at that moment. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Raena, let’s go play befur the storms come.

Chatting Cats: Proud, Free & Hanging Out Together

Hey Raena, where are you? (Dezi walks from room to room looking around for Raena. Not seeing her, she looks up at the cat tree and over towards the door where she finally sees Raena sitting on the perch looking outside. Dezi meows)  RaenaBelle, didn’t you hear me callin’ ya’? 

 

 Raena looks out door from the small perch

 

          I’s heard ya’ sissy. Did you need somethin’? I’s was lookin’ out at all the activity goin’ on. Ya’ know, after all that boomin’ last night and the storms, I’s didn’t know what it was gonna look like today. Mommy said some of those booms was fireworks, and some of ‘em was thunder boomers. But I’s wasn’t sure which was which? 

 

 Dezi sleeps in house on Liberty cat tree

Me was nappin’ just befur dark and all da commotion.

 

 

Yeah Raena, me either. Least at furst. 

 

 Dezi and Raena hang out together during the fireworks

When da fireworks started, Raena and me came into the

livin’ room to be near mommy and each other.

 

 

          Mommy was so purroud of both of us last night. When the furst loud boomer went off, we both jumped up and looked ‘round. Mommy looked over and calmly said, “It’s okay girls, it’s just silly fireworks. Ya’ll don‘t have anything to worry about, we’re all safe inside.” And ya’ know what? She was right sissy.

 

She was Raena. And she was so happy that we both hung out in the livin’ room with her. 

 

 Dezi and Raena hang out together during the fireworks

Even at the height of all the commotion, we stayed put. Makin’

mommy happy and purroud. 

 

 

          Yeah sissy, mommy sure does like to spend time together, doesn’t she? 

 

Purrlease Raena. (Dezi meows sarcastically) Like you’d wanna be anywhere else. You’d think you were attached to mommy’s hip with glue. 

 

 Raena lays on floor and look at camera

Then sis Dezi figgered out those last boomers was

thunder boomers and disappeared.

 

 

          And you’re not? That’s not very nice to say. I’s luvs mommy. ‘Course I’s wanna be close to her. I’s goin’ with her to the doctor today. It’s time fur her regular monthly ‘pointment. And, it seems the doctor’s s’posed to fax a letter to the ‘pawrtments regardin’ us and mommy’s extra medical x’spenses, and he hasn’t done it yet. The manager’s gone on vacation, and we can’t re-certify our lease till the doctor sends over this letter. They used to let mommy bring ‘em the letter, but they won’t accept that no more, so we’re at the doctor’s mercy. Ya’ know, how do ya’ make a doctor’s office unnerstand, somethin’ has to be done by a certain date or else? I’s not sure what mommy has planned to get the point across, but I’s sure, she’s gonna let ‘em know how upset she is. It’s not like this letter is new. Every year fur the last 12 years, they’ve wrote it up and sent it over.

 

 Dezi gets loving while laying on the arm of the chair

 

 

Me knows Raena. And mommy unnerstands how busy the doctor is and how stupid these rules are. But, lessen the law/rules change, she’s gotta do what she’s gotta do, so we can have somewhere to live. Anyways, looks like it may rain on ya’ll today. Me hopes ya’ll don’t stay gone too long.

 

          Are you gonna miss us sissy? 

 

Me always misses mommy, Raena. (Raena drops her head) Me misses you too, Raena. You’re a purretty good sisfur, all things considered.

 

          Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fank ya’ sissy. I’s luvs you too. Let’s go finish brekky befur we have to go. 

 

Dezi rolls around and plays with nip toys

 

 

Okay Raena. Maybe we can play fur a bit too. We also wanna remind everypawdy ‘bout the fundraiser fur mommy’s dental. You can donate thru the fundraiser here, or directly thru our paypal at: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats: Sis Boom Bye? It’s July

(
Dezi rolls around on a Yeowww nip toy and stops to bathe her paw and meows) RaenaBelle, come over here. It’s time fur our Blest Sunday posty. 

 

 Raena sits pretty at the edge of the kitchen

 

          (Raena emerges from the kitchen, looks toward the living room and meows) It’s that time already sissy? I’s do luvs Blest Sunday.

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

Me too Raena. We are such blest kitties. Me heard mommy got the courage this past week to mention that nasty incident that happened at the furst dentist ya’ll went to see. You know, the one who wanted you to wait out in the hot car cuz he was ‘lergic to kitties?

 

 Raena sits pretty at the edge of the kitchen

 

 

          Sure ‘nuff, sissy. She asked Dr. Amy ifin she was ‘lergic to cats and how she really felt ‘bout me bein’ there with mommy. She didn’t even hesitate when she said, ifin she had been ‘lergic, she would just take a Benedryl. And then she said she had owned many kitties throughout her life. It made us feel really good. We knew we liked Dr. Amy, and now we knew we were in the purrfect place fur mommy to get her dental work done.

 

Me’s glad mommy likes Dr. Amy. And me’s glad she can be a purrfessional, unlike that other guy. 

 

          Me too sissy. Hey, did you see the toy awnty Vonda sent mommy? 

 

 Forever in my heart windchime gift from Vonda

 

Uh, me doesn’t think that’s a toy Raena. Mommy doesn’t yell at us not to touch toys. But, the whole time she was takin’ fotos, she kept tellin’ you to leave it alone. 

 

          I’s know, sissy. What’s up with that? Soooooo much temptation, that heart hangin’ down there.

 

 Forever in my heart heart shaped windchime ringer

 

Yeah Raena, it did look like a lot of fun. But, it also looks great hangin’ on the porch in front of the window. Mommy says a meowsy big Fank you awnty Vonda. She says it makes her think good thoughts ‘bout all her kitties in heaven every time the wind blows.

 

 Raena looks out door from the small perch

 

          Yeah, it’s purretty hangin’ on the porch, but I’s would still rather play with it in the house. But, I’s guess we have purrlenty of toys to play with. We can let mommy have this one. On another note, did you hear all that bangin’ into the wee hours of the meownin’ last night?

 

 Dezi gets loving while laying on the arm of chair-selfie

 

You mean the ones after the thunderstorms Raena? Yep, me heard ‘em. It’s getting’ close to the 4th of July. It happens every year, peeps lose their minds and their manners fur ‘bout a week and set of fireworks all day and night. You were purrobably too young and noisily active last year to notice.

 

          Maybe so sissy. I’s don’t really ‘member anythin’ from then. Ya’ know, I’s might have even thought you were hidin’ from me, ‘stead of all that noise. 

 

Me’s not hidin’ Raena. Me’s checkin’ fur spiders and other intruders to keep you and mommy safe.

 

 Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

          Uh, sure, sissy. Inside mommy’s sittin’ chair? (Rolls eyes) Whatever you say, sissy, whatever you say.

Come on Raena, let’s go play. Furst, let me remind everypawdy ‘bout the fundraiser fur mommy’s dental work. We’re almost there. She has a ‘pointment fur July 20th to have the rest of her teethies removed and get her dentures. We still need your help gettin’ the rest of the money together. You can dontate thru the fundraiser by clickin’ here, or directly to our paypal at: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com

Is That Duck Or Turkey #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We didn’t fall off the face of the earth, or get swallowed up, or even whisked off by some tornado. Nope, nuffin’ so dramatic. Mommy had lots of human business to attend too, and no time fur kitty bloggin’. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s don’t like all this human business stuffs and lease re-cert stuffs. I’s’ll be glad when it’s all over.

 

 Raena looks out door from small perch

 

          We all will Raena. We dread this time of year every year. Anyways, we’re furinally here, so let’s not meow ‘bout all that, let’s get on with today’s posty.

 

You mean our review of that plate of stuffs mommy gave us? I’s think I’s would rather meow ‘bout the weather.

 

          Maybe so Raena, but our furiends just might be innerested in tryin’ it out.

Instinct food toppers

You’re right sissy. And, we’re so fanky fankful to be pawrt of the Chewy Influencer team and have the oppurrtunity to try all these wonderful things out. Mommy, like a lot of our furiends humans’, is always on the lookout fur top notch, good fur us foods and treats. So, when mommy saw Nature’s Variety Instinct as an offurin’ this month, she knew we had to try it. As most of ya’ know by now, we luvs us some duck, so mommy got us the Instinct Healthy Cravings Grain-Free real Duck Recipe in savory gravy 3 oz. food topper. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout these toppers:

Caloric Content

  1. 74 kcal/pouch

Instinct Food topper

 

          As you can see in the ingredient list, it doesn’t contain any of those questionable ingredients that our humans are always tryin’ to avoid. But, it does contain some ingredients Raena and me try to avoid. MOL Now let me tell ya’, we luv us some of that turkey tom lurkey furesh off the bone, yes we do. But, we don’t like it when it’s been pressed, formed, or otherwise placed in our cat foods.

 

 Instinct Food Topper

 

We sure don’t sissy. I’s don’t know how mommy could have missed this. I’s mean, it’s the furst and third ingredient in the list. Ya’ think she was hopin’ we wouldn’t notice?

 

 Dezi and Raena checking out the instinct duck topper

 

          Yep Raena, me’s sure she was hopin’ there was enuff duck in there that we wouldn’t even notice the turkey.

 

Well sissy, she was wrong. We noticed it right away, and turned our noses up. 

 

 Dezi running from the Instinct food toppers

Me said NO, mommy. Me doesn’t wanna eat it.

 

          Me knows Raena. But sometimes, mommy just can’t take the hint. Did you see her chasin’ me ‘round the house with that plate? Me already told her me didn’t wanna eat it, and here she comes, right over to the scratcher. We never get to eat on the cat furniture. Did she think me would suddenly eat pressed turkey ifin me could eat it on the scratcher? Hmmpht  Not happenin’.

 

 Raena sniffs Instinct Food Topper

 

Yep, sissy, me either. I’s do have to meow that even tho’ we didn’t like it, the Instinct Grain-Free Wet cat food toppers have some really good ingredients. It also comes in Chicken and Tuna. The savory gravies are a great way to get water into your kitties. They come in a case of 24) 3 oz. packages and range in price from $25.00 to $32.00. So, I’s have to give them at least 1 paw up.

 

          Yep Raena, me will give them a paw up too. Good ingredients are hard to find, so me’s glad to see that Instinct has taken that into account. Has mommy got her breath back from chasin’ me ‘round with the plate? 

 

Dezi watches Raena atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Yep sissy, and she was a bit disappointed that we wouldn’t even try it. She did say that she must’ve missed all the turkey. She knew it had turkey broth, but her old eyes missed the rest of it. Nevertheless, she says it deserves a thumb up fur the lack of questionable ingredients. But, she said she did wish that when a food said it was one ingredient, that the companies wouldn’t substitute cheaper proteins to make it go further. Ya’ know, this can be a real purroblem fur kitties with food allergies too. So, it’s not just us finicky kitties that this be an issue fur.

 

Raena peeks around the corner at the remote controlled mouse

 

          That’s so true Raena. Ya’ know we luv Chewy. They carry so many pawsum purroducts fur all the furry, finned and feathered members of your furmily. And they always have a great purrice. There’s an auto ship program so you never have to worry ‘bout runnin’ out of your pets favorites. Don’t worry, you can skip, cancel or delay at anytime.
