Chatting Cats: New Year, Same Old Same Old

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. What a week we’ve had so far. I’s don’t like these below 0° days and nights. Let me tell ya’, we’re all feelin’ yucky here. Mommy can barely move. She’s all hunched over like that big ole wisteria bush outside. And sis Dezi had a bout of the sneezy wheezies and horkin’ everywhere. Me? Yep, mines eyes are all gunky and mommy’s had to clean mine’s bloomers more than once in the last couple of days. Hmmmmpht I’s don’t like bloomer cleanin’. No dirty bloomer fotos. Mommy says not even she wants to see that. I’s a big girly and not s’posed to need such things.

 

 Dezi lays in cat bed and looks back over shoulder

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ on about now? Trust me, ya’ never outgrow bloomer cleanin’ ‘round here. Mommy always says she ain’t kissin’ a mouth that’s been cleanin’ such things that get stuck on our bloomer furs. Furankly, me would much rather have mommy clean it up than me. Yuck!!!  Anyways, ya’ know we’ve been meowin’ with mommy ‘bout our postin’ schedule since she’s gonna have that new standin’ ‘pointment on Mondays. We’ve also been thinkin’ maybe mommy can do a few more postys/reviews this year. We think sometimes companies furget we kitties have humans.

Maybe sissy, but I’s hope mommy gets somethin’ more fun than the product she’s tryin’ out now. As fur our new postin’ schedule, seems we’ll be postin’ Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Furidays and Sundays. Blest Sunday has been a pawrt of Deziz World since almost the beginnin’, and we luv meowin’ ‘bout our blessings. So Blest Sunday’s ain’t goin’ anywhere.

          We do luv our blessings Raena. Our Service Cat postys will return in February, so get your questions and desired topics in now. We’re also workin’ hard on figgerin’ out a way to go to BlogPaws. It’s so close, we just hate to miss it. We have a ticket, we just need to get the green papers fur the room and transpurrtaion. Anyways, we know 2018 is gonna be full of fun and we can’t wait to share it with all of you.

And, meowin’ of all of you, we’re really behind in our visitin’ cuz of mommy tryin’ to get green papers and bein’ sick. But, we’re slowly tryin’ to get caught up. So, we’ll be by to visit with ya’ as soon as we can.

Happy New Year 2018

Happy New Year!!! Raena, mommy, it’s furinally here!!! We made it to see another year start. It sure is cold here. Mommy heard once that whatever ya’ happen to be doin’ when the clock strikes midnight of the new year will make up the biggest pawrt of the next year. So, guess what we were doin’ at midnight?. Yep, we were all cuddled together luvvin’ each other.

          We sure were sissy, even when you let out a growl. What was that all ‘bout?

You stuck your claw in me’s ear Raena. Me’s all fur togetherness, but that’s a little too together. Anyways, we plan on lots of cuddles and luvvin’ in 2018.

 

          And fun too, sissy. We’re gonna have lots of fun. Fanky fankfully, your growl was long befur midnight. We don’t want any of those in the new year.

 

 Dezi in 2018 calendar

Me thought you might enjoy a calendar with

me smilin’ at ya’ all year long.

 

 

 

Well Raena, that means you need to work really hard at bein’ a better sisfur. (Dezi snickers) Anyways, we’re really behind so we’re gonna keep it short today. We just wanna meow a Happy New Year to all of you. And, we wanted to update ya’ a bit on our schedule fur 2018. Due to a new standin’ ‘pointment on Mondays, we will be movin’ our Service Cat Trainin’/Question & Answer postys to Tuesdays. Mommy’s still tryin’ to work out the rest of our schedule, but never fear, you’ll be the furst to know. We’re not goin’ anywhere.

Blest Sunday: A Year Full of Blessings

MeOW It sure is cold.

 

 Raena looks back while standing on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          It sure is sissy. Mine’s paw beans don’t like it one bit. The floor is burrrrrrr cold.

 

 Dezi looks out the door from atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

(Mommy A opens the door and window blinds. Dezi and Raena get their first look out for the day) OMC When did that happen mommy? Look’it Raena, it’s all white outside…mostly…okay, in patches. Anyways, it’s enuff. And, it’s New Years Eve.

 

 Raena looks out at snow from small perch

What is that?!!

 

 

          Oh sissy, what is all that? I’s don’t like it. Nope, not at all, I’s don’t like it. And why’s it so cold? How cold is it?

 

Dezi licks paw while sitting atop the liberty cat tree

Eh, me’s seen it befur. It’s no big deal so long as

we can all stay together and cuddle.

Well Raena, it looks like snow. But, mommy just checked and says it’s mostly ice. As fur how cold it is, the weather guessers say it’s t’ween 5° and 10°F below 0. That’s just too cold fur us Southerners. Fankfully, we’re all gonna be stayin’ right here together so we can snuggle and stay warm.

 

 Raena looks out at the snow from the liberty cat tree

It can’t get inside, right sissy?

 

 

          Below 0? Did you really meow below 0? I’s sure hope the kitty we fed found some place warm to hang out. We couldn’t find it the last couple of times we went out, so we purrayed somepawdy had taken it in. ‘Course, we left food, but there’s no tellin’ who might be eatin’ that. Ya’ know, we might be feedin’ the coons and pawsums.

 

 Look out from front door at snow and ice

We know, but fur us Southerners’ this is pawful. MOL

 

 

 

That’s okay Raena, everypawdy’s gotta eat some time. Anyways, as me meowed earlier, it’s New Years Eve. Tomorrow starts a brand new year. So let’s furget ‘bout the white stuffs and the cold fur a minute and look back over the last year.

 

 Raena looks out at snow from liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Sounds good to me sissy. It’s been a tough year, but a year full of blessings, none the less.

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap getting love, selfie

 

 

 

Yep, we started the year lettin’ everypawdy know ‘bout how bad mommy’s teethies had been and tryin’ to get her some help. Which fankfully happened and come February, everypawdy’s gonna see mommy’s new pain furee, infection furee fauz teethies smile. We also ran a weekly post called Service Cat Monday in which we featured mommy’s Trainin’ Tips/Tricks/Techniques fur all kitties and woofies too. We answered all kinds of questions from our readers and furiends. We can’t wait to get back to those in the new year. We hope ya’ll look furward to them as much as we do.

Sweet Lexi gettin’ and givin’ lots of luvvin’.

 

And in March, we cried as we mourned the one year anniversary of sis Lexi leavin’ us fur heaven. And ‘membered all the luv she gave and got and the amazin’ Service Cat she had been. And, we celebrated the majesty that had been her life. She will always be a pawrt of us and will always be remembered.

          And in April we celebrated mine’s furst birthday. In June, we really celebrated the day mommy saved me and gave me this pawsum life I’s have now. And, don’t furget all the goodies we’ve reviewed over the past year. And we’ve even gotten to hold some give aways. I’s hate that Lexi had to go away fur me to be here, but I’s sure am blest to have such an amazin’ home, mommy and sissy.

 

 Dezi watches Raena atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

We’re blest to have you too Raena, even ifin me doesn’t always act like it. We truly are 2 blest kitty girls. 2018 is gonna be even better. We don’t really know what’s in store fur us past today, but we know that as long as we have each other, we are Blest.

 

          That’s the truth sissy. And, we do kind’a know somethin’ that’s gonna be happenin’ in January. We’re startin’ the new year off with a bang. I’s mean, with a give away. That’s right, and even our UK furiends will have the chance to win this one. We can’t hardly wait.

 

 Dezi and Raena with Christmas gifts from Cat

 

 

 

Me’s with ya’ on that one Raena. Anyways, Christmas left us with some great food and a few gifts from our angels. Raena and me both got new mousies and balls and that great hexbug we showed ya’ the other day. Fank you uncle Pete, Timmy, Einstein and furmily.

Chatting Cats: Raena’s Resolve

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle.What’s all this meowin’ ‘bout a new year? Am I’s gonna have another birthday? I’s sure luvs birthdays. Is Christmas over? I’s heard somepawdy meowin’ there was s’posed to be 12 days of Christmas. I’s gotta tell ya’, this little kitty girl’s a little confused right now.

 

 Dezi laying in lap selfie

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, this ain’t your furst new year. Were you really that oblivious last year that you don’t ‘member nuffin’? 

 

 Raena checks out the Hexbug from Belinda

 

 

 

I’s don’t know what that means sissy, but mommy says I’s was young and that mine’s play function was on overdrive. She says a kitty as active as me, doesn’t stop long enuff to realize what’s goin’ on ‘round us. I’s know mommy wouldn’t be mean to me, but somehow, I’s thinkin’ that’s not a very nice thing to say.

 

 Dezi and Raena watch the Litter Robot Open Air Litter Box

 

 

 

          You’re right Raeana, mommy would never be mean to us. Me doesn’t think she was mean when she said that, she was just tellin’ the truth. You’re still very active, but you’re furinally growin’ up enuff to slow down and smell the nip. It’s kind’a nice not havin’ ya’ jump on me constantly. Altho’ you do kind’a go overboard with PB our new automated litter box. Mommy says ya’ gotta quit tryin’ to keep the clumps. And no kitty needs to go pawtty every 3 minutes. You’re gonna wear him out and he won’t wanna dump the clumps anymore.

 

But he’s so much fun sissy. Did you see me go fur a ferris wheel ride this meownin’?

 

          Did you hear mommy yellin’ fur you to get down?

 

I’s thought she was yellin’ at you.

 

Dezi and Raena atop the liberty cat tree with Yeowww toy

 

 

 

          Oh Raena, of course you did. Anyways, let’s meow ‘bout your questions. Humans measure time in minutes, hours, days, weeks and years. So after so many days, humans start their count over and call it a new year. And yes, you’ll have another birthday, but not at the same time the new year starts. Your birthday is in April, so that’s when we’ll celebrate it. As fur Christmas havin’ 12 days, we don’t celebrate that way. We celebrate Christmas as the day Jesus was born, and it didn’t take 12 days fur that to happen.

 

But don’t we celebrate our birthdays fur a whole month?

 

 Dezi checks out the Hexbug

 

 

 

          We do Raena. But, that’s somethin’ mommy started cuz we were so poor and some kitty’s birthday was befur her payday and another kitty’s birthday was long after the greenies was gone fur the month. That would’a been Lucky and Lexi back then. By celebratin’ all month long, mommy hoped that at some point in that month she would be able to get somethin’ special fur the birthday kitty. So, to answer your questions, yes, Christmas is over fur the year. But, we can carry the Christmas spirit with us every day of the year. The world would fur sure be a better place ifin more peeps did it. And yes, you’ll have another birthday, but not till April. As fur the new year, we’ll celebrate it like we do all the holidays, gettin’ lots of extra luvvin’ and hugs.

 

Do we need to get mommy a gift? 

 

          Nope Raena, she’ll be happy ifin we just give her extra purrs and cuddles. There’s not really any gift givin’ at the new year.

 

 Dezi and Raena play with the Hexbug gift from Belinda

 

 

 

Oh, okay. Do ya’ reckon we can play with our new hexbug? I’s just luvs that thing. Awnty Belinda picked us out a good one.

 

          Yep Raena, me luvs it too. Me’s sure mommy will turn him on and let us play.

 

I’s got one last question sissy. What’s a new year’s resolution and do we need to make one?

 

          Well Raena, a resolution is s’posed to be a furm decision to do or not to do somethin’. Like, lots of peeps resolve to lose weight every new year. That’s why there’s lots of sales on exercise equipment and diet purroducts the whole month of January. The reality is that, most peeps aren’t really serious and give up on their resolutions a few weeks in. So, mommy says there’s no need fur us to be makin’ resolutions that we can’t keep. Mommy says ifin ya’ really wanna do somethin’ then ya’ just do it. It shouldn’t matter what time of year it is.

 

Raena checks out the Christmas gifts from BelindaOMC A Hexbug fur kitties!!! And is that Pawpaw too?

Fanky fank you awnty Belinda, we luvs it all.

 

Oh. Well, I’s thinkin’ I’s would still like to make a resolution. But, I’s gonna need your help to do it.

 

          Oh yeah? Well, what is it?

 

I’s wanna be a better and nicer sisfur. But, that means you’re gonna have to stop wavin’ your tail in mine’s face. Ya’ know, I’s just can’t help mine’s self when you go wavin’ all that floof in front of me. I’s just have to pounce. MOL 

 

 Dezi and Raena play with the hexbug gift from Belinda

 

 

 

          Me will be happy to give you the old whacky paw of help the next time you try it. MOL C’mon, let’s go play with our Christmas gifts.

 

I’s right behind ya’ sissy. Let’s play with mine’s new bouncy ball from Timmy and Einstein. 

 

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