Chatting Cats: Chats Around The Tracks

Hey, Yo, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Comin’ to you live from the ranch, better known as our ‘pawrtment. Yep, I’s live and in the fur bringin’ you blow by blow accounts of life in the slow lane. 

 

Dezi lays on liberty tree and Raena on the small perch looking at each other in front of the door.

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle Mayce, what in the world are you meowin’ ‘bout? And why are you meowin’ like some hood rat? 

 

Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree looking down at Dezi laying on the edge of the tree

 

 

 

Hood rat?! What’s a hood rat sissy? Do we have any ‘round here? I’s bet’ch’a our furiend Erin would luvs to have a bite of one of those. Let me just look thru our address book and find her nummer. We’ll set out the pawtal so she can get here in a jiffy. I’s bet she could teach us a thing or two ‘bout ketchin’ those things. She may be a princess now, but she hasn’t always lived the pampurred life.  

 

          (Dezi shakes her head) RaenaBelle…It’s nice that you wanna share, but hood rat is just an expression. We don’t actually have any rats ‘round here of any kind. Y, Me’s never actually seen a real live mouse. Less ya’ wanna count the one me saw at BlogPaws that time. But me doesn’t think that one counts since he was somepawdy’s pet. You know, you can’t eat somepawdy’s pet, that’s just not nice. 

 

Kind’a like Speedy, our bestest bunny furiend. Huh sissy?.

          Uh, yeah, kind’a like that Raena. We don’t really think ‘bout Speedy bein’ a rabbit like the ones we like to see on our dinner plates. Speedy’s just Speedy, ya’ know?. It’s kind’a like all our woofy furiends. They’re nuffin’ like those annoyin’ woofies ‘round here and at the V-E-T’s office. Anyways, ya’ got me off track here. Me was askin’ why you were meowin’ things like Yo, and what blow by blows are you relatin’? Nopawdy’s fightin’ here. 

 

Of course not sissy. Why would anypawdy be fightin’? 

 

          Alright Raena, me’s not goin’ down this rabbit hole with you again. Me…

Rabbit hole? When did you get to go outside? Where’s the rabbit hole sissy? I’s wanna see it. That’s not fair that you got to go outside and I’s didn’t. I’s take care of mommy just as much as you do. Ifin anypawdy ought to get to go outside, it’s me. I’s haven’t really and truly seen all the marvels that make up nature on account on mine’s eyes bein’ bad. Now that I’s can see clearly, I’s need to go and check out the world ‘round us. (Raena puts on her pouty face)

 

          Raena, there is no rabbit hole. Well, there purrobably is, but me hasn’t seen it. Nopawdy’s been outside, not even mommy. Seriously now, where’d you get the word Yo? 

 

Raena watches and talks to a lion on tv

 

 

 

TV of course. Now sissy, ifin nopawdy’s been outside, then why are you meowin’ ‘bout rabbit holes and stuffs? 

 

          With as much tv as you watch Raena, you should be more than a little furmiliar with silly human sayings, like down the rabbit hole. 

 

I’s not ever heard it sissy. Maybe the tv peeps bleep those things out. Y, Last night while mommy was makin’ our dinner, I’s changed the channel by mistake and this whole show was bleep bleep bleep. I’s don’t know why somepawdy would wanna watch somethin’ that doesn’t even have words. Quite furankly, those bleeps are a bit annoyin’. 

 

Dezi sits pretty atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh Raena, you still have so much to learn. Once upon a time, no movies had words.

 

No Way, sissy? Really??? 

 

          Sure ‘nuff Raena. ‘Course, that was long befur me’s time.  

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

MeOW  I’s can’t even ‘magine. Anyways, guess that’s all the time I’s have fur today’s blow by blows. We’ve got things to do and peeps to see…or is it places to go and…ah who cares. RaenaBelle signin’ off from the ranch, I’s think it sounds better than the old ‘pawrtment, k? Fanky fank you all fur your patience with us. We’re slowly but surely gettin’ ‘round to visit all of you. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Wagging Tongues

MeOW  What a wonderful week of Blessings and Fankfulness. (Dezi walks back and forth down the hall meowing, stopping occasionally to squat, wiggle and look around before starting up again. She hears the wind blowing through the wind chimes and the leaves rustling outside and jumps on the Liberty cat tree to take a look.)  RaenaBelle, hasn’t this been a pawsum week?

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, it really has. (The wind blows up a funnel cloud of leaves and Raena crouches on the perch in front of the door watching intently as if she could reach out and catch one.)  We’re so Blest; even mommy’s startin’ to feel a bit better. She said fanky fanks to our massages and a box of imitrex her migraine’s let up a lot. At least enuff so she can think again. I’s told her we had plans to make and things to get done befur Christmas. I’s so ready fur Christmas to be here, aren’t you? 

 

Pipo and Dalton in masksConCats, great masks.

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me can’t hardly wait. But befur we move on we need to ‘pawlogize fur not announcin’ the winners of our mask contest at me’s Carnival pawrty. What with the innernet bein’ out, mommy’s sick and the holidays, we got way behind. Our winners were Pipo and Dalton. As purromissed, you’ll be gettin’ a little sumpin’ sumpin’; but, all our plans went astray and it ain’t here yet. So, we’ll send it on when we get it, K? Me was so happy to see so many of our furiends purrticipate. The bloggin’ community, cats and their peeps in purrticular are just the bestest ever.

          You got that right sissy. Meowin’ of furiends, we need to send out a fanky fank you to awnty Cindy and her brofur uncle Marshall and all the kitties. Not only did they send us that tasty fanky Fanksgivin’ dinner along with a goody box, but they also sent us a case of shelf stable milk and some green papers. Mommy says the car tags are due, so it’s a really big help. 

 

And me wants to fank awnty Vonda fur sendin’ us some green papers too Raena. Mommy said me has a late Birthday/Gotchaday gift comin’. 

 

Raena lays on perch in front of door looking back

 

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Are you gonna share? 

 

 

Dezi sits on floor in front of chair

 

 

 

Is me gonna share? Does me have a choice? Anyways, mommy said there’d be purrlenty. All me can meow is she better be right. You try to hog everythin’.

 

          Me? Nuh uh, that’s not me, that’s you. You’re the one who always throws a hissy fit when I’s try to play bunny kick the nip nanner with you. 

 

 

 

That’s cuz you wanna steal me’s nip nanner ‘stead of playin’ with your own Raena. There’s a reason mommy insists on two of everythin’; so we each can have our own. 

 

          Then why don’t you play with the other one sissy? 

 

It doesn’t matter which one me plays with Raena, that’s the one you’re gonna want. (Raena thinks for a minute and then goes back to watching the leaves fly around outside while Dezi grins at having left Raena meowless.)  Cat got your tongue? MOL 

 

Raena lays on floor with tongue touching nose

 

 

 

          Huh? What does that even mean sissy? I’s a cat, so of course I’s got mine’s tongue. Wanna see? (Raena sticks her tongue out at Dezi)

 

Me’s gonna tell mommy you’re stickin’ your tongue out and bein’ mean Raena.

 

          I’s not bein’ mean sissy, I’s just showin’ ya’ that I’s got mine’s tongue. You’re the one that asked ‘bout it?. 

 

Dezi sits with tongue out in front of door

 

 

 

Oh sure, try to blame me fur your meanness.  (Dezi sticks her tongue out at Raena.)  

  

          I’s not…sissy…? C’mon sissy, let’s not fight. It’s Blest Sunday, we’re s’posed to be countin’ our Blessings, not arguin’.  

 

Dezi plays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

You’re right Raena. We are Blest to have more than one nip nanner. We’re Blest in so many ways. 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 wanna say a meowsy big Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

          Let’s take a quick selfie and link up with the Kittie Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. And I’s’ll let ya’ play with both nip nanners all by yourself today. 

 

(Dezi meows quietly)  Sure you will…but fur how long? Sure Raena, fanks. 

 

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

 

Dezi: Vibrant Blue 

Raena: Navy Blue
