Chatting Cats: Our Blest Christmas

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. (The skies rumble and complain outside as rain pours down and taps the roof echoing through the house)  Sissy, c’mon, there’s nuffin to be ‘fraid of. We should be playin’ with our new Christmas toys not hidin’ out UTB (under the bed).

          Sure ‘nuff Raena. We opened our gifts from me’s fellow cat scouts Trixie and Buster furst. We’d been tryin’ to get in the package fur a week, so mommy decided we could have them befur we went to bed Christmas Eve. Technically it was already Christmas, but since we hadn’t slept yet…Anyways, We got the most pawsum Made With Luv catnip toys. Their daddy makes ‘em to sell. And let me tell ya’, you won’t be findin’ a more potent toy anywhere fur $4.00. He makes large mouseys and cigars that come 1 to a package and mini cigars, firecrackers, bombs and candles that come 2 to a package. Ifin you’d like to get your own, you can contact them by email at: trixietoys12@gmail.com

Oh sissy, I’s luvs these toys. They smell so divine and are just the right size fur carryin’, bunny kickin’ and swattin’. It sure was nice of them to send ‘em to us. Fanky fank ya’ Trixie, Buster and your daddy. After we had a little sleep it was furinally Christmas day. We had a few bites of brekky and then mommy read us the story of Jesus birth. While He wasn’t actually born on Christmas day, that’s when we celebrate. Then we got to open our gifts from Valentine and awnty Kerry. We got this really funky bird toy and the cutest little mousey. They also sent mommy an adorable journal and some decorations.

          Yep Raena, we got the cutest little mask that reminded them and us of me’s Birthday/Gotchaday pawrty. Mommy knows better than try to put somethin’ on me’s face, so she tried to get you to model it.

Yeah sissy, that wasn’t happenin’. But it does have the coolest feathers. I’s don’t know why mommy wouldn’t let me play with ‘em. Fanky fank ya’ Valentine and awnty Kerry, we luvs our gifts. Then, mommy got some really great socks, dish towels and the cutest measurin’ spoons among other things from awnty Cindy. Fanky fank you so much.

          No Raena, not right now, but soon. 

 

Raena sleeps curled up in mommy a's lapMine’s favorite place to nap or sit is mommy’s lap. This is the good life.

 

 

 

Oh, okay sissy. I’s wanna be purrlenty hungry when it gets here. We also wanna fanky fank awnty Vonda, awnty Cindy, our dear sweet furiend, the gawjus Princess Erin, and her handsum Prince Valentine and awnty Kerry fur the green papers. Some were given fur a specific purrpuss, but mommy also said we were gonna get that new scratcher lounger when things settle down a bit. And, we went to a catmas eve pawrty on twitter and won a Chewy gift card donated by our adorable and sweet furiends, Peekaboo, Butterfly and angel Smokey. What a Blessed Christmas we’ve had. 

 

Dezi sleeps in mommy A's lapMe’s favorite place in all the world is mommy’s lap.

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, we really are livin’ the good life. Two little kitty girls born into uncertainty and given lives full of furever luv. Just thinkin’ ‘bout it gives me leaky eyes too.

Chatting Cats: Christmas Excitement

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. I’s can’t hardly believe it but Christmas is only days away. Can you believe it? Another year has come and gone. Last night we were lookin’ thru all the pawsum Christmas cards we’ve gotten so far and givin’ fanky fanks fur all our amazin’ furiends.  

 

Raena selfie on cat tree

 

 

 

          After you walked all over and sat on ‘em Raena. Me can’t believe you sat on our Christmas cards. 

 

Raena sniffs Christmas cards while standing in the middle of themI’s readin’ the scent mail our furiends sent us sissy. You should

come check it out.

 

 

 

 

I’s was checkin’ ‘em out, sissy. I’s could smell our furiends. Ya’ know, when I’s was just a little kitty girl livin’ in that cage, I’s could never have ‘magined bein’ so luvved by so many. Every kitty dreams of bein’ luvved and wanted, and when mommy rescued me I’s thought mine’s life couldn’t get any better. I’s had a furever home with a luvvin’ mommy and I’s even got a sissy, but to be a pawrt of a world wide community of peeps and anipals who care so much fur each other, is beyond any kitty’s wildest dreams. And you all know I’s can dream up some purretty crazy things. MOL 

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, you sure can. But me’s always told you that we have the greatest most bestest furiends in the universe. On another matter, have you finished writin’ your letter to Santa? Ya’ know, we need to get those done or we’ll run outta time. 

 

I’s workin’ on it sissy. Is your finished?  

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A

 

 

 

          No, me’s wants to make sure me asks fur just the right things. We’re so furtunate to be Blest with a luvvin’ mommy who will never ever leave us, and all our furiends. Me feels kind’a bad askin’ fur things. 

 

I’s know sissy, but I’s thought you were really hopin’ to get a new scratcher?

 

          Yeah Raena, it would be nice, but me’s just as likely to hurl on a new one. Besides, ifin we don’t have a house to live in we wouldn’t have anywhere to put it. 

 

Don’t worry sissy, mommy’s filin’ complaints and doin’ what she can to keep our ranch (apartment). Who knows, ifin we lost it, we just might furinally get some place better. Ya’ know, a kitty can dream right? 

 

Dezi, lays in chair

 

 

 

          Now that would be nice Raena. Me would luv to live anywhere that we’re not constantly harassed and threatened. Too bad the big guy doesn’t bring houses. MOL 

 

I’s think that might have somethin’ to do with mommy’s ability to pay sissy. ‘Member? You’re the one who told me that mommy’s and daddy’s have to pay fur the things Santa brings. Anyways, we still have a couple of days to get our letters finished. You’re still gonna let me go with you and the cat scouts to visit the North Pole, right?  

 

          Yeah Raena, several of me’s fellow scouts have meowed that you could tag along. But, you’re gonna have to be on your very bestest behavior. 

 

I’s will, sissy, I’s will. Mommy even helped me find a cute little outfit to wear. I’s so x’cited. Fanky fank you. (Raena gets excited and starts walking towards Dezi

 

Dezi lays on chair arm by mommy A -selfie

 

 

 

          Stay back, Raena. No need to be huggin’ on me all the time. Kittens!!!  You can smother a kit with all your neediness.

 

I’s luvs you too sissy. Besides, mommy says she luvs it when I’s wanna be close all the time. She’s never said anythin’ ‘bout me bein’ smotherin’. And aren’t you the one that’s been complainin’ ‘bout not bein’ able to snuggle at night? 

 

          That’s different Raena. That’s the time fur snugglin’. You like to be all up in me’s business all the time. A kitty can never get a break. 

 

Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

 

I’s just luvs you soooooooo much sissy. I’s wanna be near you and mommy all the time. I’s don’t wanna miss nuffin’.  

 

          Well, me would like a nice little nap Raena. So, why don’t you go bug mommy fur a while. And get to work on your letter.   

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap with her paw to her mouth

 

 

 

Okay sissy. Let me just remind everypawdy ‘bout linkin’ up with the Blessing Train. Fur instructions and to see all those already linked up, click here. I’s gotta go get started on mine’s letter. See ya’ll soon.

The Blessing Train

 

 

Blessing Train with FriendsThere’s still purrlenty of track left fur you.

 

 

 

          I’s know sissy. It just warms mine’s heart to see everypawdy join in. Our dear furiends from Meezers Mews and Terrieristical Woofs, Pipo and Dalton, joined us. Ya’ know, their house was recently broken into and some horrible peep(s) stole their things. In spite of it all, they’re so Blest that nopawdy was hurt. We don’t know how they do it, but they never miss a birthday or gotchaday in the blogosphere. We are so Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanky fanks fur joinin’ us. And, we’re keepin’ ya’ll in our purrayers. Now their computer was stolen, so we helped them make their boxcar. Rest assured that had awnty Ingrid, aka  Petcretary made it, it would be much more elaborately decorated. 

 

Pipo and Dalton Blessing Train boxcar

 

 

 

They’re just the bestest Raena. Next up is our amazin’ Scottish furiends from Spike The Scottish Black Cat, Spike and awnty Christine. They are just the sweetest furiends with hearts of gold. Black Cats rock, and Spike is proof of how pawsum they can be. We look forward to many more years of furiendship with ya’ll. True furiends are to be cherished, and we feel so  Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanks fur hoppin’ on. 

  

Spike and Christine boxcar

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, I’s just luvs them. Next to hop on board is a dear furiend we met thru our articles at the Daily Mews, awnty Vonda. She has 15 kitties and counting that she cares fur. She’s not a blogger, but has 2 angel kitties on the old Catster, Sassy and Pepper. She sent green papers that helped mommy rescue me from that horrible cage in that stinky place I’s was born into. You’d be hard pressed to find a truer furiend. She’s always there with a kind word or purrayer. We’re so Blest to call you furiend. Fanky fanks fur hoppin’ on. 

 

Vonda, Sassy and Pepper boxcar

 

 

 

She’s been so pawsum to all of us Raena. Our bestest Persian pal Valentine, from Noir Kitty Mews added another boxcar full of Blessings this week. He meowed ‘bout his family and how Blest he was to have his. And he’s so right, family is a furtastic Blessing. We count Val and his family as pawrt of ours too. Unner all that fur you’d find kindness a heart full of luv to share with all he meets. We’re so Blest to call ya’ll furiends. Fanks fur joinin’ us fur this amazin’ ride.

Up next is awnty Sandee from Comedy Plus. She says she doesn’t currently have any kitties or woofies. We meow, that’s okay. The Blessing Train is open to all who want to join.

          They are all such a Blessing sissy. Last but certainly not least this week is awnty Ellen and the kitties of 15 and Meowing. Now some of ya’ already know this, but fur those who don’t, awnty Ellen is mine’s God awnty. You know, kind’a like a God mother. See, back when mommy saved me and befur she and sissy told the world, they told awnty Ellen. Awnty Ellen made me mine’s furst ever toys and nip mat to welcome me into the world. But it’s not just me, awnty Ellen does so many pawsum things fur all in the blogosphere. Any kitty who’s ever tried her Made With Luvs toys and/or mats know just how talented and generous she is. And, how much luvs she puts out. We’re so Blest to call you furiends. Fanky fanks joinin’ us. And, don’t furget, there’s still time to get Prancie’s Prayer fur the young’un’s in your life.
