Blest Sunday: Sisterly Conversations

Published on by Service Cats U.S.24 Comments

MeOW  WooHoo  It’s Blest Sunday and me has so much to give fanks fur this week. RaenaBelle, where are you, it’s time to count our Blessings. Me swears, you’re never where you’re s’posed to be. (Raena comes running down the hall and jumps over Dezi) Hisssssssss Quit jumpin’ on me!!! Kittens, You can be such a pest sometimes.

          But I’s luvs you sissy. I’s just wanna play with mine’s bestest sisfur ever. 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of their new dishes

 

 

Me’s your only sisfur, Raena. Besides, what you call play is more like bein’ a pest. You know, like me’s piddle purroblems. Mommy insists that me splain to everypawdy why me was avoidin’ the pawtty box, so they wouldn’t think mommy be mistreatin’ me and overlookin’ me bein’ sick. Furst me wants to meow fank you fur your concern, but me’s pawtty box issues are more behavioral and have a name…RaenaBelle the mighty huntress. 

 

Raena lays on top of the litterbox

 

 

 

          You blame me fur everythin’ sissy. It ain’t right, just not right at all. I’s gonna tell mommy you’re bein’ mean to me. 

 

Hmmmmpht  Go ahead Raena, you’re fur sure to blame here. Some of ya’ may ‘member back when sis Lexi got sick and had trouble balancin’. Mommy took the covers off our pawtty boxes to help her. Then when Raena showed up, she kept tryin’ to play with me’s tail while me was takin’ care of business; so we had to get a new pawtty box with a lid. Things were goin’ purretty well till this summer, when Raena took up layin’ in wait on top of the pawtty box. Me swears, the girl never stops. Anyways, bein’ the ambush hunter she is, she started tryin’ to whacky paw me while me was usin’ the facilities. So, me’s only recourse was to pawtty somewhere else…the floor and then the piddle pads. Most of this has been worked out, but mommy decided to leave some piddle pads down, just in case. And of course, she hopes we’ll use them fur hairballs and upset tummy hurls. 

 

Raena wipes her eye while laying on the cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Yeah, like you’d actually try to hit a piddle pad sissy. When you need to hurl, you just stand up and let ‘er rip no matter where you are. 

 

That’s not true Raena, me hit the piddle pad just the other day. 

 

          Sure you did sissy. That was after lettin’ a big chunk go on the floor and mommy runnin’ over to try to put somethin’ unner you. You took off runnin’ down the hall and hit the edge of a piddle pad. 

 

Dezi eats out of new dish

 

 

 

Still, me did hit it Raena and that’s all that counts. Anyways, ‘nuff ‘bout all that. What did you think of our new dinner plates that we won? 

 

          I’s thinkin’ I’s gonna like ‘em sissy. At furst I’s was a little ‘fraid of ‘em. But hey, they hold more than our current dishes, so that’s a win in mine’s book. Now we just gotta convince mommy to fill ‘em up.

 

Me agrees Raena. No sense in lettin’ all that space go to waste. Me knows you like that they’re shallow cuz of your smashed face. 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of new dishes

 

 

 

          Mine’s face isn’t smashed sissy. I’s just got a short nose. Mommy says I’s bootyful, even with mine’s short nose. 

 

Whatever Raena. Hey did you see me’s new get up fur the Cat Scout choir auditions?  

 

          I’s did sissy. Can I’s use it too? I’s luvs to sing. Maybe we can record a song and dedicate it to mommy. We’re so Blest to have such a pawsum mommy, and I’s sure she’d luvs to hear us sing a song to her. 

 

Dezi with headphones on - selfie

 

 

 

We’ll see Raena. Furst me has to figger out how to set up everythin’. But you’re purrobably right, mommy would luv us to sing together. She luvs any kind of togetherness. And, since me’s been hangin’ out with ya’ll all week in spite of the storms, she’s on cloud nine right now. 

 

          That’s true sissy. I’s know we’re both very purroud of you fur overcomin’ your fears. 

 

How many times does me have to tell ya’, me’s not afraid Raena. Me just didn’t see any need to hunt UTB this week. 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting loveDo you like mine’s pawrty plans mommy?

 

 

 

Sure sissy, whatever you meow. Anyways…I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur you and mommy. I’s so Blest to be a pawrt of our family. And, we’re so Blest to have such amazin’ furiends. And meowin’ of furiends, I’s was thinkin’ we could have a Carnivale themed pawrty to celebrate your birthday and gotchaday. You know, like in Venice. What do you think? I’s thinkin’ everypawdy could throw on their bestest carnivale masks and send us their fotos. We could even have a contest fur the bestest outfit. 

 

 

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

 

 

 

That sounds like fun Raena. You just might pull of me’s pawrty after all. Me can’t wait to see all our furiends dressed up fur the pawrty. Let’s wrap this up fur now so me can go and find me’s own mask. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. 

 

          Don’t furget the Sunday Selfies with the Kitties Blue. 

 

And, there’s still time to enter our Piddle Pad give away here. 

Put on your Carnivale masks, your best duds and send your foto too: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com

Chatting Cats: 12 Amazing And Fabulous Facts

Published on by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Hey sissy, I’s think we got a new neighbor. I’s saw peeps cartin’ stuffs in to that ‘pawrtment on the end there fur the last couple of days. I’s sure hope all their stuffs didn’t get soaked durin’ the storms. Can you ‘magine sittin’ on a soppy wet chair? Ugh (Raena shudders and turns back to look out the door again.) I’s bet it would stink too. 

 

Dezi lays in chair while Raena gets down behind her

 

 

 

          Actually Raena, me can ‘magine it. Our ‘pawrtment flooded a few years back and everythin’ was wet and yucky. It took furever to get the management peeps to do their job and get us dried out. Are you sure you saw ‘em carryin’ in furniture stuff? Ya’ know, it might just be somepawdy cleanin’ up the ‘pawrtment after the last purrson moved out. Anyways, me thought we were gonna play CK’s amazin’ facts game. 

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat treeI’s don’t know why you kitties don’t wanna purr along with mine’s business plan?.

 

 

 

Oh yeah. I’s just luvs learnin’ things ‘bout our furiends. I’s hope lots of kitties, woofies and peeps play along. Maybe I’s can even get mine’s next business idea from it. Ya’ know, the plans fur Purrs with a Purr-Puss aren’t goin’ so good. Lots of kitties don’t seem to wanna work. They’d rather give their purrs away fur a few measly treats. I’s keep tellin’ ‘em we could be rich, rich, rich and have tons of treats. Y, We could even make enuff green papers to buy our own treat farm. But no, no kitty seems innerested. And well, we can’t be every where ourselves, so looks like I’s need another plan. 

 

Raena lays on scratcher looking over her shoulderBack to the drawin’ board, Raena.

 

 

 

          Sorry ‘bout that Raena. Me did think that was your bestest idea so far. Anyways, let’s answer these questions and see what happens. Me’s sure you’ve got ideas just waitin’ to come out. Me will take the furst question.

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

1. What is your favorite day of the week?

          Truth is, we luv everyday. Mommy says each day we have together is a Blessing. But, me is pawrtial to Sundays cuz that’s the day we get to meow Fank you fur all our Blessings.

 

 

2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?

     It’s mine’s turn now sissy. Altho’, we don’t actually eat many strange things ‘round here. I’s think I’s might have eaten one of those crazy gnats once. And I’s have been known to eat a dried up left over piece of food that you spit out onto the floor. Other than that, we don’t really get many strange things here.

 

 

3. What small business would you like to start?

     Well, I’s tried to start up Purrs with a Purr-Puss. And, I’s not completely sure it’s a dead idea. But I’s will be lookin’ into other ventures. Maybe I’s could get peeps to pay us fur the honor of feedin’ treats to kitties. Or maybe… 

 

          Enuff Raena. Let’s move on to the next question.

 

 

4. What is the best food on a hot summer day?

          When it’s really hot, me doesn’t really wanna eat much. But, me has had a few licks of ice cream befur, and it was purretty tasty.

5. When have you had a small decision bring big consequences?

          Me fur sure wants to answer this one. The day me met mommy, me chose to go to her ‘stead of play with me’s 10 littermates. And cuz of that, mommy saved me’s life and brought me home with her to live and luv furever and ever.

 

 

6.What vegetable do you like?

     We’re kitties and obligate carnivores. We don’t like vegetables. Any vegetables. Come to think of it, is mommy an obligate carnivore too sissy? You know, she don’t really like veggies either. 

 

          That’s a good question Raena. Me has no idea. But, you’re right; mommy doesn’t like veggies.

 

 

7. Where are you most likely to be at 8:00 on a Saturday night?

          Anyways, it’s me’s turn. Ifin we’re on time, then we’ll be eatin’ at 8:00 on any night. Least that’s the case at this time of year. Now, in the winter time, we eat at 7:00 p.m.. You oughtta take the next one Raena. You’re the one that watches too much tv and uses all those silly terms you learn.

 

 

8. What slang word or phrase do you like to use?

     Are those slang words sissy? Hmmmmm I’s don’t really have a favorite. I’s hear mommy say somethin’ ‘bout kissin’ her lily white sometimes. Not sure what her lily white is, but…

 

 

 

9. Did you ever want to change your name? If so to what?

          Me would never wanna change me’s name. Mommy said the minute me chose her that me was her Destiny, and that’s what she named me. She just changed the spellin’ so me could be unique. 

 

I’s wouldn’t wanna change mine’s name either sissy. Since mine’s name means new beginnings, I’s think it’s purrfect.

 

 

10. What food do you crave?

          Rabbit!!! Me can meow fur both of us on this one. And pizza, we do luv a good pepperoni pizza.

11. If your life had a sound track what song would you pick for it?

          Mommy says our soundtraks would be, You are so Beautiful and Unchained Melody and… 

 

It’s mine’s turn sissy. Mine’s would be, Stand By Me and Walk Through This World With Me, and I’s think the soundtrak fur our family would be When You Say Nothing At All and The Keeper of the Stars. Yep, I’s think that’s it fur sure.

 

 

12. If you could have lunch with anyone living who would it be?

          This one’s easy peasy and would be the same fur all of us. We’d luv to have lunch with all of you, our dear furiends.

You’re so right sissy. That would be such an amazin’ lunch. This has been lots of fun. ‘Course as always, when we get sentimental, we shed a few tears. Mommy says music speaks to the heart and can soothe the savage beastie.

 

          Me thinks that’s why she sings to us so much Raena. She’s tryin’ to calm you down. MOL  

 

Funny sissy, very funny. Let’s go play. I’s think you got a package fur one of your cat scout projects. And, we need to visit a few furiends durin’ the storm’s lull. 

 

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

Tell All Tuesday: Piddle Pads And Cat Diapers, Oh My

Published on by Service Cats U.S.27 Comments

Raena:  Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can anypawdy hear me over all these thunder boomers? Mommy, I’s don’t think anypawdy can hear me. (Raena looks around from her perch at the door and sees mommy taking photos of a very displeased Dezi.)  Sissy!!! What in the world are you wearin’ sissy?

 

 

Dezi layd in chair with diaper

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Nuffin!!! Me ain’t wearin’ nuffin’ but me’s furs Raena!!! Mommy get this thing off me, right now!!! Can’t you see it doesn’t fit? Me has too much tail floof. Besides, what self respectin’ kitty belle would wear such a thing? Me doesn’t care that it would be helpful. Me wishes you had known ‘bout it when sis Lexi was sick too. She would’a fur sure told you where to put it. Me can hear her now. The hissin’ and screamin’…it would’a been epic. What’s that? You think she would’a worn this, just cuz you asked her too? Well, guess we’ll never know. Me can tell ya’ that me will have to be one sick kitty befur you ever come near me with that thing again. Hmmmmpht 

 

 

Pet Parents Brand cat diapers

 

 

 

Sissy, you shouldn’t meow at mommy like that. (Raena sees mommy A heading her way with the diaper and runs.) Don’t you dare mommy!!! I’s a good girl. I’s use the pawtty box every single time. And I’s always try to make it to a piddle pad befur I’s hurl any hairballs. Meowin’ of, I’s know you’re happy that the new Washable Piddle Pads don’t move ‘round all over the floor, but I’s want mine’s slide back. What happened to the cheap plastic ones? 

 

Dezi sniffs diapers

 

 

 

          Well Raena, since you like to use them as slides, they don’t stay put and sometimes get all torn up. Mommy says they won’t absorb much if the piddle absorbing middle is shredded. So, when the peeps at the Pet Parent Brand reached out and offured to send us a couple of washable ones, mommy jumped on it. Me’s not sure why she thought we needed the diapers too tho’. Me’s not wearin’ those, they pinched me’s tail. 

 

Raena sits pretty in the hallwayYou can see how much nicer the Washable piddle pad I’s sittin’ on looks.

 

 

 

You do have a lotta fluff back there sissy. Mommy said she had to order by waist size and not tail floof. Anyways, they may come in handy someday. You know, you’re no spring kitty anymore.

          HiSssssssss  Watch it Raena, me’s still got it. Me ain’t that old. Anyways, the Piddle Pads and even the diapers are really well made. Mommy said she was really impurressed by them. They’re sturdy, nice and thick, very absorbent and washable. And mommy says they wash up really well too. No shrinkage or bleeding of colors.

Blest Sunday: Dezi Held Her Ground

Published on by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

MeOW MeOW (Dezi runs through the house mewing and swishing her tail as the storms outside rage)  Look, mommy, me’s not hidin’!!! C’mon RaenaBelle, let’s eat dinner; it looks so yummy. Then maybe we can play. (Suddenly there’s a clap of thunder that shakes the walls. Dezi looks up from her dinner plate with concern, as Raena runs up the cat tree and back down again. Dezi looks over at mommy A who smiles and says it’s okay. Dezi walks over to mommy A for a little love and pets and returns to eating her dinner.) 

 

Raena lays atop the liberty cat tree with arm outstretched

 

 

 

          I’s really purroud of you sissy. It’s stormin’ like crazy out there and here you are, actin’ like it’s just another day. I’s been tryin’ to tell ya’ that the storms can’t hurt you and now you can see it fur yourself. Wanna play?

 

Hmmmmpht  Me saw your eyes get bigger than saucers a few times too Raena. Miss ain’t afraid of anythin’ looked a little scared just a few minutes ago.

 

          I’s wasn’t scared sissy. But, that thunder boomer sure was loud. I’s don’t think I’s ever heard one quite that loud befur. (Suddenly there’s another loud clap of thunder and the lights flicker. Dezi and Raena look at each other and then over to mommy A who sits calmly smiling at them. And then another clap and the lights flicker off. There’s a pop from down the hall and then the lights come back on. Mommy A gets up to reset the breaker that got switched. Raena runs after her.) Wait mommy, I’s wanna be right beside ya’. I’s can purrtect ya’ ifin the lights go out again. You know we kitties see really good in the dark; much better than you. 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

What a kiss up you are Raena. Kittens, it’s not like the lights were out fur hours. Besides, what do you think all these candles sittin’ ‘round the house are fur? 

 

          Well sissy, I’s always kind’a wondered what they did? I’s mean, they do smell nice, but I’s sure didn’t know they put off light. 

 

Yeah, me’s only seen them a few times me’s self. Mommy used to burn them more, but she says the good ones costs lots of green papers so she’s savin’ ‘em fur special occasions. And of course to find the pawtty box room ifin the ‘lectricity be out. Unlike us, she can’t find her way ‘round with her nose. MOL

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          You are a funny one sissy. In any case, I’s just happy that we’re all together and safe and that you didn’t run UTB at the fust sound of storms. I’s know that makes mommy happy too. I’s even heard her fanky fankin’ God fur blessin’ her with such amazinly pawsum babies.

 

Me heard her too Raena. Mommy’s always givin’ fanks fur how Blest she is and how much of a Blessin’ we are fur her. Sometimes, me thinks she’s got it all wrong. We’re the Blest ones. Only God knows what our fates would’a been ifin He hadn’t sent mommy to us. While we’re meowin’ ‘bout our Blessings, me would like to meow that every kitty who crosses paths with a rescuer is a Blest kitty indeed. You rescuers and tenders of ferals are just as Blest as the kitties you tend. We know some of those kitties may never let you close enuff to even touch them, but we know they luv you and they know they owe their lives to your kindness and luv. 

 

Raena lays atop cat tree with arm outstretched

 

 

 

          That’s so true sissy. And, with all the stormin’ goin’ on, we should count our Blessings now. Mommy says it may be days befur these pass over so we gotta make the most of any lull. I’s wanna make sure that we get the word out and invite all our furiends fur your Birthday pawrty. We are Blest to have so many wonderful furiends and it just wouldn’t be a purr-opurr celebration without all of them. As most everypawdy knows, your Birthday is on November the 1st and your Gotchaday was just a couple weeks later, so I’s plannin’ a mid month pawrty. We’ll keep everypawdy updated as the plans get squared away. 

 

Dezi gets love while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Y, Fank you Raena. You’re right, it wouldn’t be the same without all our furiends there to celelbrate with me. We better wrap this up so you can get back to plannin’. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we’d like to fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours. And, me’s gonna beat Raena to it today, we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. 

 

          Don’t furget, there’s still time to enter the give away here fur Prancie’s Prayer. 

 

You’ve always gotta have the last word don’t ya’ Raena?  

 

Do you think we should have a theme party?

If so, what theme would you like to join? 

Or, do you have another brilliant idea for Dezi’s party?

 

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