Tell All Tuesday: Who’s Eating What #ChewyInfluencer

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe it? It’s almost Christmas!!! I’s just can’t wait. In t’ween tryin’ to ketch up on our visits, take care of mommy and nap, we’ve been shoppin’ hard fur the bestest gifts to put on our big Gift Guide next week. And yes, we’ve got ideas fur the whole family, men included…and no, they’re not ties, socks or underwear. Mommy said I’s needed to meow that so you all won’t worry. Ya’ know, cuz what could a house of girly’s know ’bout gifts fur men, right?. Sissy? Are ties, socks and underwear not good gifts? 

 

Dezi sits on scratcher watching Raena play in chewy box

 

 

 

          No Raena, there’s nuffin’ wrong with those things as gifts, but they’re not very creative. It’s like the gift one gives when they don’t know what else to think of. 

 

Hmmmmpht  Well, I’s can tell ya’ after seein’ some of the holes in mommy’s socks and drawers, I’s know she was thrilled with the new socklets awnty Cindy just sent her. Anyways, we didn’t pick any fur the menfolk. You’ll just have to stop by and check out the guide. We think we’ve got some pawsum picks that just ‘bout anypawdy would be happy to receive. 

 

          Me totally agrees Raena. But, that’s next week; today we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout this new food we tried the other day. 

 

We did sissy? I’s don’t ‘member tryin’ it, did you? 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of their new dishes

 

 

 

          Uh, well, why don’t we get to that pawrt after we tell everypawdy ‘bout the basics. Like, mommy would purrfur that we could eat a variety of things, at least every once in a while. You know, ya’ just never know what might happen in the future, so it’s always good fur us kitties to have at least a couple of options so we don’t have to go hungry. As most of ya’ know, we eat freeze dried raw. 

 

Mommy would purrfur we eat all raw sissy.  

 

          That’s true Raena. But, mommy is happy enuff that we eat freeze dried raw, so she doesn’t push us…least not yet. Anyways, she would like to find a couple of quality canned foods that we could eat just in case. 

 

In case of what sissy? 

 

Miko poultry variety pack cat food

 

 

 

          Uh…Don’t ask me, me just knows she would like it. So, when Chewy offured to let us try the Miko Grain free Poultry and Tuna Variety Pack, she jumped on it. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout Miko.

The ingredient list doesn’t look too bad. The variety pack, 12) 3 oz. cans comes in poultry and tuna or seafood and chicken for $14.99. You can also buy them in single flavor packs for the same price. As you can see from our fotos, the contents of the can look like shredded or pulled meat in water/oil. There’s purrlenty of juice in the cans. Mommy says the juice contains some oil based on it’s appearance. She also said that the longer it was on the plate, it appeared to oxidize. Three hours after opening the can and putting it out, the liquid had the appearance of dirty dishwater. I’s sniffed it from afar, but wouldn’t go near it. Furthermore, I’s wouldn’t touch mine’s regular food either till it was removed from mine’s mat. 

 

Dezi and Raena check out the Miko cat food

 

 

 

          As you can see by me’s foto, me did check it out and then me looked over at Raena’s pawtion, just to see ifin hers might have looked better or somethin’. Me sniffed it a few times and then ate me’s regular dinner. It smelled kind’a funny. Me would have normally at least lapped up the juice, but this one just wasn’t fur me. 

 

 

Raena looks at dinner and Miko cat food Uh, you need to move that stuffs so I’s can eat mine’s dinner now.

 

 

 

 

Me either sissy. And the fish formula’s have the bad vit. K ingredient, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate Complex. Since we don’t eat fish, this wasn’t a very big concern fur us, but should be fur the fish eaters. While this food doesn’t make the cut in our house, Chewy has purrlenty of things that do, and at great prices. They have pawsum customer service peeps and free speedy shipping on all orders of $49.00 and more. There’s a low flat rate shipping charge for all other orders. And they have products for the whole family.

 

 

Dezi peeks out from a chewy box

 

 

 

          Don’t furget some of the greatest boxes ever. While you’re there, check out the holiday shop. Ya’ just might find a gift or two to put unner the Christmas tree.

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.

Chatting Cats: A Meowsy Feline Friday

Dezi:  MeOW  Hey Raena, did you enjoy that turkey tom lurkey last night? Me sure did. Me even stole a bite of mommy’s hawaiian roll. It was so tasty. 

 

Dezi lays on cat tree looking back while raena lays on perch looking out door

 

 

 

          Raena:  Oh sissy, I’s luvs, luvs, luvved mine’s turkey tom lurkey. And I’s stole the whole roll when mommy zoned out. I’s hate that she doesn’t feel good, but I’s just couldn’t pass up more of that tasty fanky Fanksgivin’ dinner. I’s sure hope mommy gets better soon. 

 

 

Dezi lays on floor in front of fireplace

 

 

 

Dezi:  Me too Raena. Whatever she’s got sure came on fast. She said she felt fine yesfuday meownin’, but by the early afternoon she couldn’t even function. She had a really bad migraine and her throat was sore and she was runnin’ a fever and had the chills. (Dezi whispers to Raena) Me even thinks she might’ve peed her pants a time or two. But don’t tell anypawdy, she would be so embarrassed. When she furinally came ‘round and saw her empty plate, fanks to you, she just assumed she’d already had dinner and put the leftover turkey in the fridge. So, we had to lissen to her tummy growl all night long. 

 

Raena sleeps on the heated cat mat

 

 

 

          That was mommy’s tummy? I’s just thought you were in a bad mood sissy. I’s don’t think I’s got mine’s full sleep, I’s so tired today.

 

A bad mood? Why would me be in a bad mood? Me’s gotchaday fell on Fanksgivin’ and me got real turkey tom lurkey as a treat. And even tho’ mommy wasn’t feelin’ good, she gave me lots of extra luvvin’ and cuddles. Me’s day couldn’t have been more purrfect. Well, a stroll might have been the cream on top. But, me knew mommy wasn’t up to it, so me didn’t even ask.

 

          A stroll would’a been great sissy, but that was very thoughtful of you to consider how mommy was feelin’. Maybe we can go fur strolls when she’s all better. 

 

Dezi looks out door from cat tree, while Raena lays on perch

 

 

 

Me hopes so Raena. Do you realize Christmas is only a month away? Me can’t wait to go out lookin’ at Christmas lights.

 

And I’s can‘t wait fur our annual trip to the old folks home sissy. I’s had so much fun last year. The peeps luvved me. Oh Christmas, I’s can’t wait fur you to get here.

 

Me neither Raena. Let’s go check out the map and find the bestest houses to see where we wanna go. 

 

          Okay sissy, I’s just gonna link us up to Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday right quick. 

 

Dezi wipes eyes while laying on the scratcher

 

 

 

While you do that, me will just have a quick bath.

And me must tell you all, we’re tryin’ to get caught up with our visits, but mommy is really sick. Purrlease bear with us and have a Blest weekend. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Happy Thanksgiving Slow Blinks

Hey everypawdy, are ya’ there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Are ya’ll ready fur Fanky Fanksgivin’? I’s sure is. (Dezi walks up to Raena and nose bumps her) Hey sissy, are you ready fur tomorrow? You know we’re gettin’ a special treat cuz not only is it Fanky Fanksgivin’ but it’s also your gotchaday. By the way, do you know why mommy keeps snatchin’ me up and cryin’? She gets all mushy and soaks mine’s furs to mine’s skin. I’s swear, I’s had more baths the last couple of days than I’s had mine’s whole life. 

 

Dezi sits atop the cat tree while Raena sits on the small perch

 

 

 

          She’s happy Raena. Don’t you ‘member her squealin’ like a banshee the other day? You know, when you slow blinked to her. You’re whole life she’s played the slow blink game and nuffin’. When you furinally slow blinked back mommy was beside herself with happiness. 

 

Raena post surgery sits on small perch in front of door looking backCheck out mine’s eyes. Aren’t they lookin’ pawsum?!!

 

 

 

Really? Mine’s slow blinkin’ makes mommy that happy? I’s didn’t do it befur cuz it hurt too bad. Ya’ know, always scratchin’. Scratch, scratch, scratchin’ mine’s eyes. Now that it doesn’t hurt anymore I’s just wanted mommy to know how much I’s luvs her. I’s never ‘magined she was gonna lose her marbles and get all mushy gushy fur days. 

 

          Purrlease Raena, you know how emotional mommy can be. Kittens, She can cry over a commercial. 

 

Raena sits on small perch at door

 

 

 

Yeah that’s true sissy, I’s just didn’t know how ‘purrtant slow blinkin’ was to mommy. I’s always let her know how much I’s luvs her in other ways without her openin’ up the flood gates, so I’s just didn’t x’pect this. Guess it’s a good thing I’s like hugs and cuddles. How long do ya’ think this might last? 

 

Dezi sits on cat tree house and Raena sits on small perch looking out door

 

 

 

          Who knows Raena. T’ween the guilt she feels fur not figgerin’ out what was wrong with your eyes sooner and the way you’ve been checkin’ everythin’ out like you’re seein’ it fur the very furst time, she could be gushin’ fur years.

 

Raena sits on small perch looking out door

 

 

 

Well sissy, I’s don’t blame mommy, she tried to help me and the minute she knew what was wrong and how to fix it, she did. I’s have so much to be fanky fankful fur. I’s one Blest kitty girl fur sure. And meowin’ of Blessings, tomorrow, we’ll be Giving Thanks fur the many Blessings we have.

 

Dezi sits on cat tree house while Raena sits on small perch at door

 

 

 

          We will Raena. Thanksgiving here in the U.S. is a day celebrated cuz of the fortune our ancestors found when they came across this amazing and fertile new world, America. And while we’re certainly grateful fur all of that and the fact that we were born here and are citizens of this great nation, we actually celebrate by Giving Thanks fur those Blessings we receive each day, like our home, our family and furiends, our health and so much more. Me purrsonally is very Fankful, cuz had mommy not saved me that Fanksgivin’ so long ago, me surely would have died.

Oh sissy, I’s fanky fankful mommy saved you and me both. And fanky fanks to awnty Cindy we’ll be havin’ our very own turkey tom lurkey to celebrate. Fanky fank you all fur your furiendship, luvs and supurrt. Our lives are richer and full cuz of all of you. We purray God keeps His hands on you and supplies all your needs. Sissy and me are sendin’ slow blinks and purrs your way and mommy A sends hugs.

 

 

From our house to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!!!
