Chatting Cats: Do Cats Get Bored

Meow, What a day we had yesfurday. Lots of hugs and cuddles and luvvin’. We did get on the catputer and visit some, but mommy’s purromissed tomorrow will be all ours. Anyways, it rained and stormed all day yesfurday. And kittens!!! It was cold. Where’d that 90 degree weather go mommy?

 

Dezi site with her tail wrapped

          Well honey, it is winter time. Altho’ it’s been a crazy winter weather wise, it is still winter. 

 

 Raena lays in mommy's lap and enjoys some loving

 

     I’s don’t like winter mommy. Who wants to go strollin’ in the wind, cold and rains? 

 

          Not me sweetie. That’s why I tried to make sure we had new batteries for all the electronic toys. You’re so full of energy, I want you to have plenty to do. 

 

 Dezi plays with the frolicat

 

We purreciate that mommy. Cuz even tho’ we’re inside only kitties, we still get bored and feel cooped up in the winter time. We can only ‘magine how our furiends who do go outside are feelin’. You know, we think all kitties belong inside, and only outside with their human on a leash. But we do have furiends that are allowed to go out by themselves. We don’t know what all they do outside, but we do know it gives them a little break in their day. But with all the cold and some even have snow, it’s way too cold fur man or beast out there. During these times, a kitty can get bored and maybe even act out.

 

Ya’ know, Raena’s been bouncin’ off the walls…literally. She don’t wanna go outside, but she’s feelin’ a bit bored. She’s been climbin’ and jumpin’ on everythin’. Even a few “off-limits” areas.

 

 Raena playing with the Pet Safe Flitter

 

     I’s think you be exaggeratin’ a bit sissy. 

 

Really Raena? What do you call it when you jump on the door ledge and give mommy a heart attack? 

 

     Uh Havin’ fun?.

 

Yeah, That’s not what we call fun.

 

Well, I’s thought it was sissy. Did you hear the Fedex lady compurr me to that grumpy cat?

     Raena lays on the floor in the meatloaf position

 

Me did Raena. And me heard mommy tell her you didn’t and that you were anythin’ but grumpy. 

 

 Cat treats and hersheys kisses

 

     Fank the cats. Thinkin’ I’s look like some other kitty. Hmmpht  Altho’ she did bring us a Valentines day gift from Purr, Mr. M and awnty Jeanne. We got a jug of treats and mommy got a bag of chocolate kisses. Mommy said Kitty Kisses are the best, but chocolate’s nice too. Fank ya’ll, we really purreciate the gifts.

 

 Big Texas Cinnamon Rolls

Yep, that’s the dill mommy transferred to a pot ya’

see in the background.

 

Yep, and awnty Vonda sent mommy some green papers fur a whatever spend. Mommy bought herself a couple of those glazed Big Texas Cinnamon rolls. She says they’re so delishus. We never get a bite, so we wouldn’t know. But mommy also bought us a bag of our favorite freeze dried chicky breasts. We sure do fank ya’ awnty Vonda, we had us a “sweet” Valentines day. And mommy put the rest with her dental fund. 

 

 Lettuve growing from Aerogarden

 

     Hey sissy, we oughtta update everypawdy ‘bout da AeroGarden. Looks like mommy’ll be eatin’ salads next week. She “planted” 6 pods of lettuce and 5 are doin’ really well. She’s gotta call the garden peeps ‘bout the one that didn’t sprout, cuz they guarantee ‘em. She did plant us some grass, but the pods are so small, that only a couple blades came up. Looks like it’s back to the dirt fur growin’ us grass. MOL 

 

 Lettuce growing from AeroGarden

 

Yep Raena, and me saw her plantin’ up some last night. We’ll be eatin’ grass ‘bout the same time mommy’s eatin’ salads. Anyways, we wanted to remind everypawdy that whether ya’ have indoor only cats or indoor outdoor kitties, we need some extra playtime durin’ these winter months. We get the blues just like humans do. Shorter days and less sun affects us kitties too. So get out that wand toy, or your kitties’ favorite nip or ‘lectric toy and get ‘em runnin’ and exercisin’. They’ll be happier and so will you. Let’s wrap this up Raena and see ‘bout havin’ one of those play sessions befur O gets here. By the way, lots of ya’ thought it was very nice of O to take mommy on her errands. And it is, but It’s also his job. He’s getting’ paid fur it. Gotta go, the wand toy’s callin’ mes name.

Blest Sunday: So Many Blessings and Nose to Nose

(While eating breakfast, Dezi and Raena start a little meow <chat>

Meow Raena, did you enjoy your stroll yesfurday? 

 

 Dezi watching Raena while they eat

 

          I’s sure did sissy. ‘Course we had to keep stoppin’ cuz mommy kept getting’ tired and coughin’. I’s’ll sure be glad when she gets well. 

 

Yeah, me’s stroll was purretty much the same. We purrobably shoulda waited till she was well befur askin’ her to go strollin’.

 

 Dezi and Raena look out the front door

 

          But yesfurday was the last purretty day we’re gonna have fur a while. It was actually 90 degrees outside. 

 

 Raena checks ou the bucket of mandarins from LouLou

 

Yep and today’s in the 50’s and really windy. We’re all sneezin’ and wheezin’. MOL  Anyways, it’s Blest Sunday, and we’ve fur sure got some blessings to be fankful fur; includin’ the nice weather we had last week. We received a whole bucket of honey madarins from sweet LouLou. Well, mommy actually received them. With her teethies in the condition they’re in, she can’t really eat ‘em, but she said she was gonn try juicin’ ‘em. Maybe that extra Vitamin C will help her get well faster.

 

 Raena checks out the mandarins sent by LouLou

         

          I’s sure hope so sissy. I’s know we’re still enjoyin’ that yummy cheese wheel LouLou sent. We even get a bite every once in a while. And what a blessin’ we got yesfurday. Ya’ know when mommy was doin’ all that cryin’, and you were so worried ‘bout her and meowin’ to high heaven? 

 

Dezi lap selfie

 

Yeah, turns out those were tears of joy. But me couldn’t be sure at furst. Ya’ know she was on the fone, and sometimes peeps aren’t so nice, and mommy don’t always fight back. But it turns out she was talkin’ with some of our Angels and they were tryin’ to figger out how to help mommy get that dental work she needs. They donated a hefty pawtion of what she needs, we just gotta raise the rest. And ya’ know mommy hates bein’ needy, and doesn’t expect anypawdy to do anythin’ fur her, so the respawnse by our pawsum Angels made her cry lots of joy tears. She reminds us everyday how much we are blest, and me always believes her when me looks into her eyes.

 

          Me too sissy. Mommy luvs us so much. We oughtta remind everypawdy ‘bout the fundraiser here. And of course they can always donate directly to our paypal address: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com. We purreciate all those who have donated so far to help our mommy. Ya’ know, we luv her and want her to feel as good as she can. And fanky fank ya’ awnty Petal, awnty Gretel, awnty Cindy and awnty Julie. And of course we continue to fank those we’ve already mentioned in previous postys.

Chatting Cats: No Room in the Truck

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. You’re never gonna believe what mommy did yesfurday. I’s sure couldn’t, and I’s think sis Dezi was just as confused as me. 

 

 Dezi site on the Liberty cat tree house, looking out the window with her mouth open

 

          RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ on ‘bout? 

 

 Raena a bit distorted

 

Mommy’s doctor’s ‘pointment. You know, I’s just got mines new harness so I’s could be stylin’ when we went out. And then mommy went and left me here yesfurday while O took her to the doctor. Everypawdy missed out on seein’ me and makin’ googly eyes over me. 

 

 Raena poses on the Liberty cat tree in her tiger harness

 

          Yep Raena, and me missed out on me’s alone time. That time when me can relax and not have to worry ‘bout you jumpin’ on me or inneruptin’ mes nap. She said somethin’ ‘bout there not bein’ enuff room in O’s truck.

 

Well, he needs to get another truck that does have room. Ya’ know, mommy’s sick and she might have needed me. 

 

 Dezi checks out Raena in her new tiger harness

 

          Me agrees Raena, but ya’ can’t make somepawdy buy another car/truck just so we can go. Mommy says cars/trucks be really ‘spensive. Besides, O be a human, and altho’ he can’t alert mommy, he should be able to take care of her ifin she does pass out. And, altho’ we’re sad that the tooth infection finally made mommy sick with the new-moan-ya and sinus infection, at least now she got some antibiotics.

 

 Raena plays with the yeowww rainbow in her tiger harness

 

I’s know you’re right sissy, but still, I’s wanted to go with mommy and show off mines new duds. I’s am happy that mommy got some antibiotics tho’. I’s hope they make everythin’ all better, least fur a little while. 

 

          Me too Raena, me too. And don’t worry, there’ll be purrlenty of time fur you to show off your new duds. O won’t be takin’ mommy everywhere, so there’ll be lots of times when we’ll still be needed to go with mommy. And you know she needs us all day every day here at home. 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on the cat tree and small perch to look out the window and chat

 

I’s know sissy, but it’s just not the same. I’s was so upset and missed mommy so much, I’s sat at the door callin’ fur her the whole time she was gone. You know, I’s don’t even like mommy to go and check the mail without me. 

 

          Me knows Raena. You’ve sure got a set of lungs on ya’. Me bets everypawdy fur miles could hear you yowlin’ fur mommy.

 

Soooooooo. You do it too sissy. Just cuz you ain’t sittin’ at the front door, doesn’t mean peeps don’t hear you too. 

 

 Dezi and Raena look outside from their perches near the door.

 

          Me didn’t say they didn’t Raena. Me just doesn’t yowl the whole time. Me knows mommy will come home to us. She would never leave us. Mommy luvs us more than anythin’ Raena. Me knows she would’a luvved to take you with her, there just wasn’t any room in the truck. Maybe durin’ these warmer days, we can talk mommy into takin’ us up town. We’ll just have to wait till she’s feelin’ a little better. 

 

That sounds like a great idea sissy. Let’s go give mommy some massages and make her feel better faster. (shakes head and mumbles) No room in the truck…hmppht. 

 

 Dezi and Raena with nip toy

 

          You go ahead Raena. Me’s gonna link up with Rascal, Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur the weekly Pet Parade furst. We hope everypawdy has a great weekend.

 

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

Cats Chat: Garden Mews and More

(Mommy A checks the progress of the new AeroGarden and the lettuce pods she had “planted” earlier. Seeing some sprouts, she took the plastic caps off of a few pods and turned to speak to Dezi and Raena who were closely supervising everything.)

 AeroGarden pods close up

 

          Now girls, I know you both had a good time playing with the last pods we planted. But, this is my lettuce, and I plan to eat all of these when they get big enough. So, leave them alone. You can watch them, and sniff them, but no pullin’ the pods out, and no eating the leaves. Okay?

 

(Dezi and Raena look at mommy, the garden and then each other.

Raena, did you hear what mommy said? She told you to leave the garden alone. 

 

 

 Aerogarden with salad pods

    

     Uh, I’s heard her mention both of us sissy. Besides, I’s never took a bite outta anythin’, that was you.

 

 

Me only took a bite of what mommy said me could. And it wasn’t very tasty, so that doesn’t count. Come on, let’s go play with our toys. It’s so pretty and warm outside, maybe we can talk mommy into a stroll or two.

 

 

 Raena rides in stroller

 

     A stroll? Now that sounds like fun. Is it spring already sissy?

 

Nope. Me knows it looks and feels like it, what with the weather bein’ in the 80’s on Monday, and high 70’s so far this week, but mommy says that means we’re fixin’ to get hit with some really bad, cold weathers.

 

     Well at least we’ve got the new ‘lectric blankey.

 

Yep, we sure are blest.

 

 Raena looks over from atop the Liberty Cat tree

Can I’s help ya’ there O?

 

     Hey sissy, did you see that O came back? Mommy was so relieved. They did some kitchen cleanin’ the other day to get ready fur the inspection today. He pulled everythin’ outta one of the kitchen cabinets so mommy could rearrange some stuffs and make it easier fur her to reach that pawsum food awnty Anonymous and awnty Cindy sent her. While he had everythin’ pulled out I’s got in the cabinet to play. I was havin’ me a good ole time. And ya’ know what? O was so nice. He didn’t get mad at me, he just asked me to get out so he could put stuffs back in. He even used mines name. He didn’t pull that ole here kitty kitty nonsense. 

 

Yep, me heard him Raena. Me’s always wondered what self respectin’ kitty would actualy answer to here kitty kitty. Lessen it’s their name of course. And there ain’t nuffin’ wrong with that, but we’ve been blest with a mommy and names. Me don’t even know what that here kitty kitty means. 

 

 Raena in tiger kitty holster

     I’s don’t either sissy. Ya’ know, mommy’s case worker used to sit here and holler here kitty kitty all the time. I’s don’t know who she thought she was talkin’ too, cuz nopawdy in our house is named that. Then she’d try to pet me and say things like purretty kitty or good kitty. Hmmpht I’s just always walked off. I’s figgered she had me confused with one of her other peeps kitties, cuz mines name is Raena or RaenaBelle.

 

Yeah, me knows Raena. That’s one of the reasons me just takes a nap when she’s here. 

 

Raena in tiger kitty holster cat harness

     Oh sissy, I’s almost furgot. Did you see mines new harness? Awnty Vonda sent mommy some green papers and told her to get me a new harness that would fit cuz I’s outgrew mines furst one. We even got a matchin’ leash. Isn’t it cool? I’s feel like a little tigress in it.

 

 Dezi checks out Raena in her new harness

Hey Raena, you be lookin’ spiffy in your new harness.

Reckon me could try it on somtime?

 

 

Me saw it Raena. It’s made a little on the large side, so mommy says me might even be able to wear it. Me hasn’t tried it on yet, but it is nice. Me really likes the leash too. 

 

 Raena in tiger kitty holster cat harness

 

     Mommy says I’s’ll grow into it. It fits purrfectly ‘round the neck, but is a bit loose ‘round mines body. Mommy says I’s long and tall, but I’s’ll fill out in time just like you. I’s sure do fank you awnty Vonda, fur mines new harness and leash. I’s luvs it. We did have to buy it ourselves, but just in case any of ya’ are lookin’ fur a really well made harness fur your cats, ya’ might wanna check out the Kitty Holster. Unlike most harnesses that be made to fit doggies, these are specifically designed with the feline shape in mind. ‘Course they do have some fur doggies, chickens and rabbits too. They even make diapers, and chastity belts. I’s not know what that last one is, but mommy says most peeps will. 

 

 Raena sits in tiger kitty holster cat harness

 

Let’s wrap it up Raena. We’ve got that inspection comin’ up today and the exterminator’s comin’ too. And O’s s’posed to be here this afternoon, so it’s gonna be a purretty busy day. And then mommy has her regular monthly doctor’s ‘pointment tomorrow. Things sure are hoppin’ ‘round here, and me doesn’t mean you Raena. Fankfully, you’ve not tried to hit your head on the ceilin’ again fur days now. Mommy’s so happy ‘bout that. MOL  We hope you all have a pawsum day.
