Chatting Cats: The Aliens Are Here

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle; comin’ to ya’ live from what’s left of the Three Belles Ranch. I’s mean, there we were layin’ all snug in bed this meownin’ enjoyin’ the last of our nighty night snuggles when all of a sudden the whole ranch started shakin’. There was bangin’ and scrapin’ comin’ from the window beside the bed, and I’s just knew somethin’ was tryin’ to get in. It’s fur sure one of those aliens. I’s heard ‘em talkin’ right outside; some strange language I’s couldn’t unnerstand. I’s nearly jumped outta mine’s furs at all the commotion.

          RaenaBelle Maycee, don’t be so dramatic. You act like you’re auditionin’ fur a pawrt in one of your teevee shows or somethin’.  

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

Hmmmmpht  Like you didn’t nearly jump outta your furs too sissy. I’s heard you scampurr UTB (under the bed) when all the commotion started too.  

 

          Nah, Me was tryin’ to get to the window to investigate Raena. Me wasn’t hidin’. Fankfully, mommy keeps the windows locked and they gave up befur me could get there to purrtect us.  

 

Yeah right sissy, whatever you meow. Anyways, all hope of sleepin’ in and extra cuddle time was gone at that point. Mommy was wide awake and had to go to the pawtty box, so we all headed that way. Well, mommy and me did, you sat outside the pawtty box room starin’ down the hall at the door and growlin’.  

 

Raena lays on boxes in hallway

 

 

 

          Well Raena, they might have given up comin’ in thru the window, but me wasn’t sure ifin they were gonna try the door. Mommy’s really vulnerable furst thing in the meownin’ so me had to purrtect her. 

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A -selfie

 

 

 

I’s sure mommy ‘purreciated your effurts sissy. You weren’t wrong. Once we all got settled and started eatin’ our brekky, those aliens started bangin’ on the door. It seems that contrary to the required amount of notice (48 hours, 24 in an emergency), mommy did find a notice hanging on the door last night (less than 16 hours) that said those aliens would be comin’ in today to change out our windows.  

 

New windows outside doorThose are the new windows sitting outside.

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, mommy was purretty peeved that she hadn’t gotten purr-opurr notice. We’ve got boxes and stuffs everywhere, and now they wanna come in and change out the windows? (Dezi shakes head) Altho’ me must meow, ifin they are aliens, they sure are cuter than those they show on teevee.   

 

workers installing new windowsThe alien’s burnin’ a stink bomb to take out the old window. And, it’s fureezin’ in

here. Every heater in the house is runnin’. Mommy’s seein’ dollar signs

float out the gaping holes in our walls. MOL

 

 

 

Don’t let ‘em fool ya’ sissy. That’s how they do it ya’ know.  

 

          Do what Raena? 

  

Suck your brains out and snatch your body, what else?  

 

Raena lays on tent cot selfie

 

 

 

          Me’s not sure any aliens would want our bodies Raena.  

 

Of course they would sissy. We live the good life. Who wouldn’t want our lives? Mommy waits on us hand and paw, and takes great care of us. We eat better than most peeps, and look at us, we’re gawjus. (There’s a knock on the door and 2 “aliens” come inside and start taking down the blinds and removing the old windows. Dezi and Raena run to mommy A and sit close by her. Suddenly the stench of burning fur sends them both down the hall to the bedroom.) Yuck!!! That Stinks, sissy!!!  See, I’s told you they were gonna get us. They’re tryin’ to knock us out with their stink bombs. We better sign off fur now. 

 

Raena stands on tent cot looking down

 

 

 

          You’re bein’ over dramatic again Raena.  

 

Dezi stands in chair

 

 

 

Oh yeah sissy? Then why are you runnin’ down the hall with me? We hope we’re still us the next time we see you all. 

 

Raena walks toward the camera

Chatting Cats: A New Normal

Hey everypawdy it’s me, RaenaBelle, from mine’s purrch atop the cat tree at the Three Belles Ranch. I’s can’t see much out of the window. Covered with mini blinds and curtains, open only in the middle, mine’s view to the outside world is skewed. Mommy says it’s too cold to have the door open and she’s tryin’ to purr-pare a noise barrier fur when the construction starts. She says it’s our new normal, least fur the time bein’.

 

Raena lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Doesn’t it seem strange with the door closed Raena? Mommy says peeps all over the world only open their doors when they’re enterin’ or leavin’ their homes. 

 

I’s know sissy. It does seem strange. Fur as long as I’s can ‘member, we’ve always opened our door every meownin’ befur brekky. This is fur sure gonna take some gettin’ used too. Don’t you think? I’s mean, you know how we kitties are with closed doors. 

 

          Yeah Raena, we can no longer see peeps comin’ up the walk. Now we have to wait on ‘em to knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Did you know the doorbell used to scare me? 

 

Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Really sissy? Why?  

 

          Me’s not sure Raena; maybe cuz it’s so loud and comes outta nowhere. 

 

Hmmmmmm I’s like the doorbell. When it rings, it usually means we’re gettin’ somethin’. Like the other day when the Fedex man rang and left our noms.  

 

Raena lays atop the cat tree

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me doesn’t mind it ringin’ when we get somethin’. ‘Course, it doesn’t really bother me any more. Mommy always tells us how proud she is of us when we don’t run, so me just decided to stop bein’ scared of it. Me likes it when mommy’s proud of us.  

 

I’s do too sissy. Ya’ know, I’s thinkin’ we should get some treats fur not bein’ ‘fraid. What do you think? 

   

          Me’s not sure mommy thinks that’s treat worthy Raena. Besides, you didn’t eat your treats the last three times mommy gave ‘em to ya’.   

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

I’s don’t like that kind anymore sissy. I’s wanted somethin’ different.   

 

          Like what Raena? That’s the fourth treat you’ve turned your nose up at this year. And it’s only been this year fur a few weeks now.  

 

Purrlease…Like you haven’t done the same thing sissy. How many treats have you refused to eat lately. 

 

Raena sits in wheelchair

 

 

 

          Eh, Me would rather have a bit of good nip or vine than some crunchy piece of fake chicken. 

 

Me too. Even better, I’s like playin’ with mommy. Meowin’ of, ya’ reckon she’ll have time to play with us today? I’s been workin’ on some new moves to try out with the cat dancer.   

 

          You’ve been workin’ on some new moves huh Raena? You know mommy isn’t gonna let go so you can drag it off to your hidin’ spot, right?  

 

Ya’ never know sissy, she might lose her grip. All it takes is one time and it’s mines. MOL   

 

Dezi lays stretched out on scratcher

 

 

 

          Sure Raena, you keep thinkin’ that. (Dezi yawns and stretches) Me could use a nice nap. Why don’t you go play with mommy and let me sleep.  

 

Fine sissy, ifin you wanna sleep your life away, then go ahead. I’s got places to go and peeps to meet and…  

 

          Raena, you ain’t goin’ anywhere. You can be so dramatic. Seriously, you’ve gotta quit watchin’ so much tv.  

 

Raena sits in wheelchair showing profile

 

 

 

Maybe someday sissy, but not today. The Vikings are on today, and I’s luvs the Vikings. Sissy? Sissy? Hmmmmpht Guess she’s already asleep. Oh well, a nap does sound like a purretty good idea. 

 

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

Tell All Tuesday: Answer Your Cat’s Question Day

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Still comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. I’s know that we are all very grateful fur your luvs and suppurrt of our current situation and ‘purreciate all the purrayers. Purrlease keep ‘em comin’. Now, we read on the calendar that today’s Answer your cat’s question day. We luvs to ask mommy questions, that’s fur sure. Mommy says curiosity in moderation is a good thing, it’s how we continue to learn and grow. Sissy, do you have your questions ready fur mommy?  

 

Raena gets lap loving

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, me’s ready. And, mommy’s had a cup of coffee, so she should be awake and ready.  

 

I’s don’t know sissy, she might need another cup or three. (Raena snickers to herself and then head bunts mommy A’s leg to be picked up.) Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr I’s luvs you mommy. Are you ready to answer our questions? (Mommy A takes a sip of coffee and scritches Raena’s head and nods.)  Mine’s furst question is, why does it have to get cold?   

 

          Deep Raena, real deep.  

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A -selfie

 

 

 

Well what’s your question then, sissy?   

 

          Me wants to know why so many peeps keep abusin’ kitties and woofies? And why some peeps think abandonin’ their beloved furries is okay? 

 

     Oh sweety, some people are just cruel and others ignorant. Neither is an excuse and if laws were stricter and enforced, perhaps there would be less. 

 

Okay sissy, that was a purretty good question. But I’s don’t think mommy’s in a pawsition to change the world. At least not today. MOL So, mommy, why does it have to get cold?  

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

     Well baby, that’s just the way God created the world. It doesn’t get nearly as cold here in Oklahoma as it does where some of our friends live.  

 

That’s true. I’s ‘member last year some of our furiends were buried unner heaps of snow. Would you ever think ‘bout movin’ us to one of those places? 

 

     Yeah Raena, as long as we’re together, it doesn’t really matter what the weather is. After all, the weather will change and it will warm up no matter where it is.    

 

Will you always luvs us, no matter what?  

 

 

Raena lays in lap selfie

 

 

 

     Of course I will darlin’. Nothing could ever make me not love you.   

 

 

Not even ifin I’s told you sissy hurled a hairball in your purrse?  

 

 

          What are you meowin’ ‘bout Raena. Me didn’t do that!!! (Whispers to herself) At least not today. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, selfie

 

 

 

     Now now girls…Not even Raena. I will always love both of you. But, please don’t hurl in my purse. 

 

          Me’s got a question mommy. Why did you have to adopt Raena?  

 

Hey!!! That’s not very nice sissy. You know why mommy adopted ne. Both of you needed mine’s help. And, I’s needed savin’. I’s glad mommy adopted me.

 

          Don’t cry Raena, me was just kitten ‘round. You can be so sensitive sometimes.  

 

Mommy says I’s always sensitive sissy. That’s what makes me so purrfect. 

 

Raena sits pretty on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, purrfectly annoyin’ and a pain in me’s behind. (Dezi sees Raena’s eyes water) Me’s just kitten. You’re a great sisfur. 

 

Fanky fank you sissy. I’s luvs you too.  

 

          Ya’ know Raena, me bets lots of kitties out there are wonderin’ how long it took to train mommy to carry us to bed at night?  

 

Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth open

 

 

 

Now that is a good question, sissy.  

 

          Unfurtunately, we can’t answer that one, nor can we take credit. Mommy’s been carryin’ her babies to bed since befur me was born. 

 

I’s bet lots of kitties would like to know how to train their peeps to scoop their pawtty boxes the minute they step out.

 

          Yep Raena, me knows Buddy would’a really liked that. His pawtty box was always dirty. (Dezi shudders) All me can can meow is just that. Stand right outside your pawtty box and meow at the top of your lungs. Vary your meow a bit and ifin ya’ have a slow human, use the Me’s hurt meow. Your human will come runnin’ in not time.  

 

Dezi sits pretty on the scratcher

 

 

 

That’s true sissy. When you use that meow, mommy breaks the speed barrier to get to ya’. ‘Course, you could just get a Litter Robot and let it scoop itself.

 

          Maybe Raena, but it’s not nearly as much fun as watchin’ your mommy flailin’ ‘round tryin’ to get to you. 

 

Raena lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Sissy, I’s can’t believe you meowed that. MOL Anyways, wanna go play?   

 

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

Chatting Cats: You Won, Just Click Here

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Hold on just a minute, I’s checkin’ our emails. I’s thought I’s saw somethin’ here a minute ago…now where did that email go?. (Raena searches the email subject lines and finally sees one that says “you’ve won”)  Here it is mommy, open that one. Read it to me mommy, read it now. (Mommy A slowly and sarcastically reads the email to Raena.)  WooHoo!!! Our troubles are over!!! We’re rich sissy!!! We’re rich mommy!!! We can have as many scratchers and cat trees as we want now. (Raena zooms thru the house and up the cat tree and back down. Raena zooms thru the house and knocks a few knick knacks from their spots onto the floor. She finally runs back to the living room and jumps up on the boxes behind the chair) We’ve won the New Zealand lotto!!! Mommy, how many dollars is a million pounds? What are we gonna buy furst? I’s think we should buy a real Three Belles Ranch and make lots of cat houses so we can save all the kitties who need a home. Sissy, what do want to buy furst?  

 

Raena stands on boxes in hallway looking back

 

 

 

          Uh Raena…we don’t play the lotto. We fur sure don’t play the New Zealand lotto. That’s a scam.  

 

A scam? No sissy, they didn’t ask fur anythin’. They just need us to click this link. Hurry mommy, click it fast. We don’t want ‘em givin’ our money away to somepawdy else. 

 

Raena stands on boxes in hallway - selfie

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, you know mommy ain’t gonna click that link. There’s a rule, ifin it sounds to good to be true, then it purrobably is. And trust me, us winnin’ a lottery we don’t even play is way too good to be true.  

 

But sissy…We got an email?. Surely they wouldn’t lie to us?.  

 

          Well Raena, that’s one of the hard lessons you have to learn ‘bout life.. Just cuz you don’t lie, doesn’t mean everypawdy else on the planet tells the truth. There are scammers ‘round every corner. That’s why we’re so fankful fur all our furiends. They’re the bright light amidst all the crazy.   

 

Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

So, we’re not gettin’ a million pounds? We can’t really buy a ranch or a bunch of scratchers?  

 

          No Raena, we’re not gettin’ a million pounds. We’re not buyin’ a ranch and we’re not buyin’ a house full of scratchers. Altho’ we kind’a already have a house full of scratchers. 

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

Yeah, but most of those are worn out; or you hurled on ‘em.  

 

          Not all of ‘em Raena. Besides, we still have our sisal scratchers. They’re still in great shape. And mommy got us the new scratcher lounger from the green papers we got fur Christmas. 

 

Oooooh Sissy, meowin’ of gifts, did you see what came in the mail yesfurday? We got not one, but two new Cat Dancers. Mommy found a 2 pack at Wally world. Ya’ know our Jewish furiends from the J-Cats didn’t even know what it was. 

 

Raena plays with the Cat DancerI’s luvved the cat dancer when I’s furst came here.

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me ‘members me’s furst Cat Dancer. They used to be more ‘spensive and mommy grumbled ‘bout payin’ so much fur a few pieces of rolled up papers on the end of a wire. But once she saw how much fun it was fur me, she said it was priceless. ‘Course, that didn’t stop her lookin’ fur a bargain when it came to buyin’ a new one. Me just can’t wait to play with it. 

 

Dezi whacks the Cat Dancer from the liberty Cat tree

 

 

 

Me too sissy.  

 

          Well, don’t break this one. Me doesn’t even know how you could break a metal wire.   

 

Hmmmmpht  I’s don’t recall that sissy. And, ifin I’s don’t recall it, it didn’t happen.  

 

Raena sits on scratcher in front of the tv

 

 

 

          Let me guess, you heard that on teevee? Cuz you know, ifin the evidence shows you’re guilty then you’re guilty whether you ‘member it or not. 

   

Evidence? There ain’t no evidence sissy. One day we woke up and it was just broken. You could’a broke it yourself and now you’re tryin’ to blame it on me.

 

          Sure Raena. Me had it fur a whole year befur you came and two days after your arrival it magically breaks? Just like all our electronic toys. You’re just hard on toys, that’s all. 

 

Raena walks on boxes in hallway Gotta go…

 

 

 

Well at least I’s don’t hurl on everythin’ sissy. That’s so gross. Anyways, ifin we’re not gettin’ that lotto money, then all mine’s plans fur the day are shot. I’s so wanted to go shoppin’. Hmmmpht  I’s guess we better finish our brekky.  

 

Do you play the lotto?
