Chatting Cats: A Little of This & A Little of That

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s never been so tired of a season in all mine’s 2 years. I’s so ready fur this Spring to show up. I’s beginnin’ to think she’s just a myth or somethin’. Have any of you seen her? 

 

 Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth open

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, what in the world are you meowin’ ‘bout now? In all your 2 years huh? Do you even ‘member Spring from last year? 

 

 Raena stands atop the scratcher in front of the tv

 

 

 

Well, not ‘zactly sissy, but I’s heard she brings warmer weather. You know, strollin’ weather. Not too hot, not too cold but just right. 

 

          Yeah, ‘bout that just right Raena, we live in the South where there’s really no such thing as just right. We may only see a couple of days of Spring befur Summer arrives with all her heat and humidity. (Dezi hears something besides the rain on the walk and runs to the door to look out. She sees the manager coming up the walk with a huge umbrella and hisses and runs for cover. Raena runs after her while looking back towards the door.

 

 Raena steps from tv stand to chair

 

 

 

Wait fur me sissy. Where are we goin’? (Mommy A goes to the door to be given a notice for a 2nd inspection of the month on next Monday. Raena turns around and crawls up into mommy A’s lap and begins a grooming session.) hmmmpht  Another inspection mommy? I’s just don’t unnerstand why these peeps can’t just leave us alone. Who else in the world has intruders in their house every month, sometimes more than once?!! Guess you’ll have to do some cleanin’ mommy. 

 

 Dezi stands on tip of stroller-selfie

 

 

 

          (Dezi returns to the living room to finish her breakfast. Raena jumps down and eats beside her) Me’s never unnerstood all these inspections either Raena. ‘Course, mommy did learn that they can’t legally intrude more than once a month, so we’ll have to see what happens next week. Anyways, how ‘bout a little birthday meow. Since we were outta town on your birthday and it rained so you didn’t get to do anythin’ special, mommy and me decided we’d have a little celebration fur ya’ this Sunday. It would’a been me’s sis Lexi’s birthday. Since she went to heaven, me’s sure she wouldn’t mind us celebratin’ your life on her special day. We’ll just have a small pawrty and then really throw a bash fur your Gotchaday in June. 

 

That sounds pawsum sissy. I’s sure wish I’s could’a met your sis Lexi. She sounds really amazin’. 

 

Dezi sits pretty in front of fireplace

 

 

 

          She was Raena. Mommy says God decided He needed her more than we did and took her back to heaven. Least she’s not sick or in pain anymore. Me really misses her sometimes, but me’s fankful fur the time me did have with her. So, we’ll plan a small pawrty fur Sunday. All of our furiends are invited and mommy says she’ll give us extra treats and playtime.

This is gonna be fun, sissy. I’s can’t hardly wait. Maybe even Spring will show up. Let’s finish brekky. All this rain makes me wanna take a nap. 

 

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

American Journey #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Do ya’ll still ‘member us? It seems like we’ve been gone furever!!! The drive was a little hard on mommy, so she didn’t even make it to bed Sunday night. So, we didn’t get anythin’ done yesfurday. Let me tell ya’, a mommy who’s been up fur 48 hours straight isn’t purretty. I’s sure hope she’s up to visitin’ our furiends today or they’ll start thinkin’ we’ve fallen off the face of the earth. 

 

 Dezi sits on a Chewy box

You mean I’s do, don’ch’a sissy? It’s not like you actually ate any of it, so what can you meow ‘bout it?. 

 

          Alright Raena, don’t you get sassy with me little sisfur.

Can of American Journey Cat Food

 

 

 

The ingredients look purretty good and we like the made in the USA pawrt fur sure. But, the only thing that really matters is does it taste good, did we wanna eat it. The cans are packed full, but the gravy’s not very gravy like; so mommy added water to thin it out some. Ya’ know, it’s really ‘purrtant fur us kitties to get that added moisture in our diets. Anyhow, mommy offured us a plate of turkey the furst night. Neither sissy or me wanted any pawrt of that. Mommy says she wasn’t terribly surpurrised since we don’t typically eat any canned turkey.

 

          Yeah Raena, you’d think mommy would get the message and quit tryin’ to get us to eat it.

Mommy says she keeps hopin’ sissy. Anyways, the next day mommy gave us a can of the American Journey chicken bites in gravy. Again, she had to add water to thin out the gravy.

          Thin or thick, me didn’t like it Raena. Me does think the ingredients look good, but me just didn’t wanna have anythin’ to do with it. However, based on the ingredients, me has to give it a paw up.

Well sissy, I’s did try it. I’s think the look on mine’s face says it all. MOL It was okay, but I’s do purrfur me some rabbit. I’s licked up the gravy and ate a few bites of the meaty pieces befur callin’ it a day. Fanky fankfully, we got to go visit with awnty Nora, Roo and the rest of the kitties at the cat motel and we gave them the rest. Skoshy luvved it. Meowed it was a 4 paws up fur sure. That’s why we always meow, just cuz we don’t luv somethin’ doesn’t mean your kitty won’t. Like sissy, I’s give it 1 paw up too.

 

          That’s so true Raena. Ya’ never know what kitty might like. That’s another pawsum reason to shop with Chewy.

Blest Sunday: We’re Late But Still Blest

MeOW C’mon Raena, hurry up mommy. Blest Sunday’s almost over. Here we purromissed everypawdy we’d be back fur Blest Sunday, and we almost didn’t make it. Hmmmpht  Mommy, you’ve always said we could count on purromisses like we can count on day turnin’ into night. Ifin we make a purromiss, we always keep it. 

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

     You’re right baby, I do indeed say that. I’m sorry I forgot to pack the computer. When you got sick this past week and then I got sick, the computer was really the last thing on my mind. But, we’re here now and we are most definitely Blest. 

 

          We sure are sissy. What a pawsum weekend we’ve had.

Yeah Raena, me’s so very fankful fur all our Blessings. Fur those of ya’ that don’t follow or aren’t furiends with us on facebook, let me tell ya’ what happened earlier in the week. As ya’ know, we were plannin’ on goin’ to BlogPaws fur at least a day and then pawin’ in to visit one of our long time awnties from facebook. The day befur we were to leave, the lawn crew showed up fur their furst visit of the season and stirred up all the allergens and made me sick. Then, in mommy’s haste to pack, she knocked the shelf containin’ her purrfumes off the wall and one of them broke. It was one of her faves by the way. Anyways, the bedroom and the whole house fur that matter smelled like a Furench whorehouse. No offense intended. We really do like the smell of that purrfume. 

 

          Yeah sissy, but a little goes a long way. That’s the way it is with those ‘spensive purrfumes. Mommy says she’ll purrobably never be able to replace it.

Me’s posin’ with awnty Nora.

 

 

Anyways….(meowmbles to herself), “Who’s meowin’ this story anyhow?  The very next day, the lawn crew showed up yet again. 2 days in a row. T’ween the purrfume and the lawn allergens, all of us got sick. It looked like our trip was off. Fankfully, mommy had the furthought to ask awnty Kat, Bearcat’s mommy to register us when she got there, so we’ll get our swag bag from the confurence. Still, we had so looked furward to a little break. Mommy really needed a break what with all this nonsense goin’ on with her dentures. So, come Furiday, we took off to visit with awnty Nora and Roo at the Cat Motel. Fanks to awnty Cindy fur the green papers she had sent us fur the tip, mommy decided we were goin’ come hell or high water. And ya’ know what? It poured down rain and we nearly froze our tushies off on Caturday, but, we had a great visit. Least mommy did. Raena and me got to spend the weekend in the greatest motel room ever. 

 

          But I’s didn’t get to go shoppin’ fur mine’s birthday purresent sissy. Fanky fanks to awnty Vonda and awnty Anonymous, I’s have birthday money. And mommy said I’s could pick out whatever I’s wanted so long as I’s get somethin’ fur you too. 

 

You’re right Raena, you didn’t get to go shoppin’. but, there wasn’t anywhere to go where we were at anyways; and with all that rain, you wouldn’t have wanted to get out anyways. Besides, mommy purromissed she’d take you shoppin’ when the weather warmed up some. So, you’re still gonna get to pick out your birthday gift, it’s just gonna be a little later.

          I’s can’t wait, sissy. ‘Specially since we shared a couple of our Yeowww nip toys with the kitties at the motel. Mommy said they luvved ‘em. I’s so glad we could share and make a couple of kitties really nip happy.  

 

 Kitty plays with Yeowww cigar the gurls shared

 

 

 

Me too Raena. Me always gets happy when we share. Well, needless to say, we’re all exhausted. So, we’ll tell ya’ more ‘bout our trip and share more fotos, later. Fur now, we’d just like to fank awnty Nora fur havin’ us fur a visit. We wanna come back when the weather’s better and we can do more visitin’. And we wanna fank you all fur bein’ patient with us while we get caught up and bein’ unnerstandin’ that mommy needed a little time off. We’d also like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life.

Blest Sunday: Friends Are Such A Blessing

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s time fur Blest Sunday. And me’s feelin’ purrticularly Blest this week; how ‘bout you?

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

          Raena: Me too sissy, me too. After all, mine’s 2nd birthday is comin’ up this Caturday the 21st. Are you gonna tell me what you and mommy are plannin’ to make it special? 

 

Dezi selfie

 

 

 

Who says we’re plannin’ anythin’ Raena? 

 

          Uh, you did sissy and so did mommy. You both said there’d be no actual pawrty on mine’s big day, but ya’ll would make it up to me by doin’ somethin’ really special. 

 

Oh that?! You’re right Raena. There’s no way we’d let your special day pass without doin’ somethin’ special fur ya’. Ya’ know, mommy said we’d throw you a huge bash on your Gotchaday this year ifin we toned down your birthday. But, that doesn’t mean we’re gonna totally furget ‘bout your birthday. 

 

 Raena gets loving while laying in mommy A's lap with her mouth open in a yawn p selfie

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

 

 

 

          Well fanky fank the cats. I’s was startin’ to think some of that mud mommy put on her hair had seeped into ya’ll’s brains.

 

Well Raena, you know why mommy was puttin’ that mud on her hair, don’cha? 

 

          Uh…Not really sissy, no. 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth openWe’re gonna have fun, fun, Fun!!!

(Dezi thinks back to the sight of mommy A with all that henna mud on her hair last night and how Raena kept tryin’ to dip her paw into the bowl and laughs.) Oh Raena, you know how vain mommy is. She wanted to cover up all her gray hairs, courtesy of none other than some sisfur who shall remain nameless, befur we went to meet furiends. Mommy’s been makin’ big plans fur us to meet some very special kitties and awnty Nora. She’s even planned fur us to spend a day at BlogPaws. All in celebration of your big day. It’s gonna be your very furst big road trip. 

 

          Well sissy, I’s know lots of peeps are talkin’ ‘bout this BlogPaws thingy, will I’s like it? 

 

As much as you like to go out and meet peeps Raena, me’s sure you’re gonna like it. And let me tell ya’, there’s some pawsum swag that goes along with it. There’s no tellin’ what we’ll come home with. The year sis Lexi and me went, we brought home so many treats and noms and toys that the whole bed was covered in goodies. So, mommy says since it’s your birthday weekend you get furst choice of whatever you want from the swag bag. And, mommy plans on chattin’ it up with some of the brands to see ifin we can’t work out some quid pro quo with ‘em. 

 

          Quid pro quo? I’s didn’t know you meowed in Latin sissy. What ‘zactly does that mean anyways? 

 

Uh, well, it just means we hope they’ll give us somethin’ that we can use and share with our furiends. And they get the honor of us meowin’ ‘bout it. After all, who could say no to our bootyful faces? 

 

 

          Hmmmmm That does sound like fun, sissy. I’s gettin’ really x’cited. I’s also wanna fanky fank awnty Vonda fur sendin’ me some birthday green papers. I’s haven’t picked out mine’s actual purresent yet, but I’s can’t wait to go shoppin’. Maybe I’s can go shoppin’ while we’re on our trip. 

 

 

Maybe Raena. There’ll be purrlenty of time fur you to choose your gift. Mommy says cuz we’re gonna be travelin’ and away from home most of this week, we’re gonna take the week off.

 

 Raena gets loving while laying in mommy A's lap-selfie

 

 

 

 

          Not completely sissy. Mommy says that altho’ we won’t be writin’ blog posties till our next Blest Sunday, we will be keepin’ in touch every now and then thru our other social media sites. She also said ifin she can figger out how to work this smarty pants fone, we could actually do a couple of live videos from awnty Nora’s and the conference. That would mean we could actually meow with our furiends in real time.

 

Yep Raena, that sounds like fun too. Ifin you’re not already followin’ us on facebook, instagram or twitter, and would like to take pawrt in our trip, then be sure to click the follow button on our pages; just click the links above. You can also send us a furiend request on facebook: we’re Alexandra-Deztinee High.

 

          We better wrap it up sissy and start packin’ our bags. This is quite a Blessing. Havin’ the oppurrtunity to meet up with furiends and spend time with them, is out of this world special fur us and one of our favorite things to do.

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap getting love, selfie

 

 

 

You’re right Raena. Me fur sure wants to take the nip nanners, how ‘bout you?   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 life. Big or small, we’re all Blest to have another day to give Fanks fur.
