Chatting Cats: Hide And Seek

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s was so happy that we actually got to visit a few of our furiends yesfurday. There was a break in the storm so I’s went to find sis Dezi so we could get mommy to help us with that opposable thumb thing. Ifin any of ya’ have actually seen our paws, then you know, the keys on those silly keyboards are way to small, so we have to have a little help. Anyways, I’s found sissy UTB (under the bed) and told her it was safe to come out. I’s told her the stupid noisy lawn crew had furinally got rained out and left and the storm had let up. 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, like me couldn’t hear it fur me’s self?. Do you think me’s deaf or somethin’?  

 

‘Course not sissy, but you were still unner the bed even tho the noises had stopped. I’s just knew you wanted to see what our furiends were up too just as much as I’s did. 

 

          Did you ever think that me may have still been unner the bed cuz me wanted a little purr-ivacy or space? You know, me’s a mature ladycat and sometimes me needs a little time to me’s self.

What fur sissy? Why would you ever wanna be alone? I’s never wanna be away from mommy or you fur that matter. I’s just luvs ya’ll sooooooo much. 

 

Dezi, gets lap loving

 

 

 

          Don’t even think ‘bout huggin’ on me, Raena. Me luvs to be ‘round mommy and even you; but, that doesn’t mean me has to do it all the time. Ifin mommy had really needed me, all she had to do is call fur me. She knows that. And since you can’t seem to pull yourself away from her, then you could’a called me ifin mommy couldn’t have. You know, you’re always in the middle of everythin’. Mommy couldn’t even get in the fridge to get the milk fur her cheater mac last night cuz you were where you always are, right in the middle of the floor. You know our fridge door opens backwards. Mommy did it on purr-puss to help keep the furs out. 

 

Raena lays on kitchen floor in front of fridge

 

 

 

I’s only there sissy, in case mommy needs me. I’s don’t wanna miss anythin’. And, mommy could get in the fridge, all she had to do is open the door. I’s really good at squishin’ down unner the door. 

 

          Sure Raena. That may have been true when you were smaller, but you don’t flatten much anymore. You know how much you luv the groceries. Girl, you’re hiney’s gonna be the size of Texas befur long. 

 

Raena walks toward mommy and the camera

 

 

 

Is not. That’s not very nice sissy. Have you seen yours in a mirror lately? You can put away the groceries too ya’ know. You’re always tryin’ to steal mine’s noms after you eat all of yours. Anyways, I’s moved so mommy could finish makin’ her cheater mac. I’s even got a bite of cheddar. I’s really luvs cheese, it’s so tasty. 

 

          And fattenin’. that’s why you don’t fit unner the door anymore. MOL 

 

Anyways…as I’s was meowin’ earlier, befur you so rudely innerupted me. After I’s found ya’ unner the bed, we went to get mommy to help us visit our furiends and there she was, on the fone yellin’ at someone ‘bout how they be lyin’ and robbin’ us blind. I’s thought we were never gonna get her to hang up the fone. Hmmmpht 

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Well she did Raena, and we furinally visited some of our furiends. Hopefully we can visit more today.

 

I’s sure hope so sissy. Ya’ know, we should tell everypawdy ‘bout awnty Paulette’s new book. We’ve not read it, so we can’t actually review it, but she’s had a few best seller’s and more ‘purrtantly, she uses all the profits to help rescue doggies. It’s called A Different Kind of Angel, and you can check it out here. Keep up the good work awnty Paulette. And did you hear that we’re gonna have a play date with our furiend Prancie soon? I’s luvs play dates, don’t you? 

 

          Me luvs anythin’ that takes your focus off me fur a while Raena. Bring on the play dates!!! Let’s wrap this up, me hears a rumblin’ off in the distance. 

 

Okay sissy. Are you gonna play with me? 

 

          Sure Raena, let’s play hide n’ seek. Me will hide and you count to a hunnerd and then come find me. Close you eyes and start countin’ now.

 

Raena sits on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

This is gonna be so much fun, sissy. (Raena closes her eyes and starts counting) One, two, one hunnerd. Ready or not here I’s come!!!

 

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

Blest Sunday: The Internet Can Be A Blessing

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday and we’ve been MIA since Wednesday. Me’s not sure ifin our furiends missed us or not, but we sure missed them. 

 

Raena sits in box

 

 

 

          Raena:  Yeah sissy, I’s guess we’re gonna have to start tellin’ peeps that we can’t post on mommy’s doctor days. Since the whole lease fiasco when the manager harassed mommy’s doctor’s office, she just gets so stressed out, she can’t help us do anythin’.

Dezi:  It’s not just that Raena, the doctor keeps messin’ with mommy’s medicines and blamin’ some imaginary rules. Anyways, we’ll just have to figger somethin’ out so we don’t just disappear. Maybe mommy can try to schedule our posty to publish without us bein’ here. 

 

          Raena:  That’s a good idea sissy. But, the last time she scheduled a posty to post without us, it totally disappeared into cyberspace. I’s don’t think she’s ever found that posty. Sometimes the innernet’s not so smart. 

 

Dezi stands in box

 

 

 

Dezi:  Well Raena, mommy says the innernet’s only as smart as the humans who purr-ogram it.

 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap and get love

 

 

 

          Raena:  Well sissy, ifin that’s the case, ya’ reckon mommy lost our posty and not the innernet? 

 

Luv ya' Dezi
Luv ya’, Dezi (one of the furst fotos we ever posted on me’s bloggy.)

 

 

Dezi:  Me’s not sure Raena, but me ain’t gonna be the one askin’. Anyways, we’re gettin’ off track here. Smart or not, the innernet’s been a big Blessin’ fur us. Cuz of the catputer and the innernets we’ve made loads of amazin’ furiends. Who would’a thought 5 years ago when we got our very furst catputer, we’d be where we are today?. You weren’t ‘round then, but me ‘members mommy was so cautious and ‘fraid that everypawdy was somepawdy other than who they said they were, and that everypawdy was out to give her a virus or somethin’, that she wouldn’t hardly spend any time on it. She fur sure never visited any fun sites.

          Raena:  Oh sissy, and the camera ya’ll had. (Raena shakes her head) The other day I’s saw some of the fotos and videos ya’ll posted back then. Those were pawful. Mommy fur sure ain’t no purrfessional when it comes to the foto takin’, but at least she’s learned a few things thru the years. And, the camera got better.  

 

Dezi:  That’s true Raena. ‘Course, mommy had cats and rats (cataracts) back then, so she had no idea how blurry and grainy our fotos were…the whole world was blurry to her. MOL 

 

          Raena:  MOL  (Both Dezi and Raena burst out laughing)  Yeah sissy, now she just blames it on old eyes. But ya’ know what? I’s don’t care how old mommy’s eyes are, I’s luvs her and am so Blest to have her as mine’s mommy.

 

Dezi get love laying on the chair arm

 

 

 

Dezi:  Me too Raena. We also got some goody Blessings this week we need to say fank you fur. We sure do ‘purreciate all of our furiends. and we wanna fank awnty Susan fur the green papers and her furiendship. 

 

Cheese gift from Cindy

Fanky fank you awnty Cindy. I’s luvs me some cheese.

 

 

 

          Raena:  We sure do sissy. And we wanna meow fanky fank you to awnty Cindy fur sendin’ us some goodies and new boxes to play in. You know how much we kitties luvs our boxes. I’s had a great paper bag I’s was playin’ with till mommy threw it out. She said it was all squished and wouldn’t stay open any more. Fur some reason she thought that meant it wasn’t fun. (Shakes head and looks over at the trash can) Sometimes mommies just don’t get it.

 

Dezi:  Well Raena, you did put that paper sack thru it. Me’s sure mommy will get you another one ifin ya’ liked it that much. Mommy always says ifin we’re happy then she’s happy. Me’s purretty sure we even have a box with a couple of those paper sacks ‘round here somewhere. ‘Member the time mommy thought she was gettin’ a really cool toy fur us fur the cheap, and it turned out to be a box of paper sacks? All ya’ gotta do is find that box. MOL 

 

          Raena:  Really sissy? I’s gonna go look fur it now. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

Dezi:  You do that Raena. Me’s gonna wrap this up. The truth is, there purr-obably are lots of peeps who aren’t who they say they are and want to take advantage of others. But, fur us, the innernet’s been a huge Blessing and opened up a world with a lot of amazin’ anipals and peeps that we would have never known without it. 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. And fank you all fur bein’ a Blessing in ours.

          Raena:  Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

 

Dezi: You’ve always gotta have the last meow, don’ch’a Raena? 

 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Blessings Floor To Ceiling And Beyond

Dezi:  MeOW  HiSsssssssss RaenaBelle!!! Quit jumpin’ on me!!! 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          Raena:  I’s didn’t jump on you sissy, I’s jumped over you. I’s was in a hurry to get to the purrch. I’s thought I’s saw somethin’ outside. 

 

Dezi sit on cat tree and Raena sits on small perch while looking out the door

 

 

 

Dezi: Ya’ still need to stop. How many times has mommy told you to slow down Raena? Besides, it’s Blest Sunday and was time fur brekky. What ifin mommy had a been tryin’ to bring us our plates at that very minute? Y, All our food would’a ended up on the floor. We’re not heathens, we don’t eat off the floor. 

 

Dezi and Raena eating

 

 

 

          Meow fur yourself sissy, sometimes I’s find all kinds of yummy things on the floor. Y, Just the other day mommy dropped a piece of cheese in the kitchen when she was makin’ her smashed tater with cheese. Ifin I’s hadn’t grabbed it up when I’s did, she would’a throwed it in the trash. What a waste that would’a been. I’s luvs me some cheese. Ya’ know our china platters are fine, but I’s not gonna miss an oppurr-tunity to eat me somethin’ tasty just cuz it’s not served with silver and gold trimmins. See, sometimes you can find Blessings on the floor. Just be careful it’s food and not a bug. 

 

(Dezi shakes her head) Oh Raena, sometimes me just doesn’t know what to do with you. 

 

          Oh sissy, just luvs me. You know you were just like me once. Mommy says so. She says when you were young you couldn’t wait fur her to open the door in the meownin’ and put the purrch in front of it. She says you used to sit on it fur hours and chirp and chortle at anythin’ that came by. 

 

Dezi sits on small perch looking outside

 

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me did. It seems so long ago now. It also seems like there was more to see back then. We used to have stray kitties and all kinds of wildlife play on our porch. It’s gotten so hot, ain’t nuffin’ outside doin’ much of anythin’. Y, just last night it was still 104°F at 9:30 p.m.. That’s just too hot.

 

          Yep sissy, it is. You’d think the old bobcat and the coon family would be knockin’ on our door askin’ fur food. It’s gotta be too hot to hunt.

 

Me’s been wonderin’ where they were Raena. We haven’t seen either of ‘em all season. Maybe when it starts coolin’ off in a couple of months they’ll show up. Fankfully, we furinally got a new lease signed. Our rent went up $30.00, so mommy may have to put her dentures on hold fur a bit. It takes quite a bit of gas to get there every week and she’s been drivin’ on fumes the last couple times. With more money we don’t have goin’ to rent and nowhere to take green papers from, that drive is purretty much the only thing left to cut.

 

Raena lays on scratching pad

 

 

 

          Well sissy, I’s guess that’ll give her more time to try to fix the mess the manager made and figger out what they can and can’t do befur it all starts again. Ya’ know the manager told mommy that they’re gonna be “rehabing” these ‘pawrtments soon and that they’re gonna wanna do a move out and then move us back in and start all this again in just a few months. Mommy told ‘em they couldn’t do that cuz she has a years lease, and utilities that be in her name that she has to pay each month. While she might not have had to put down a depawsit, those companies charge to turn it on and move it and stuffs. Not to mention the stress mommy’s just went thru. We fur sure can’t be doin’ this again that soon. We all need time to recupurrate.  

 

Yeah Raena, the way they treat us just ain’t right. It’s not like we’re poor and need help by choice. And mommy certainly ain’t disabled by choice. Ifin mommy could change our situation, she would in a heartbeat. Our mommy ain’t afraid of work. Y, Befur her accident, she worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time to make sure she could affurd everythin’ she needed and wanted. 

 

          I’s heard sissy. She says she was young and dumb back then and didn’t save, so that’s why we’re in the shape we’re in now. Altho’ I’s know mommy wishes she could do more and could give us more, and had more money, I’s glad things happened the way they did. Y, ifin they hadn’t who knows where you and me would be? We might not have ever been saved?. I’s don’t even wanna think ‘bout what it would have been like ifin mommy hadn’t showed up and whisked me away to this Blest life. 

 

Dezi lays on liberty tree and Raena on the small perch looking at each other in front of the door.

 

 

 

Me neither, Raena, me neither. We might not be rich by the standards the world uses, but when it comes to luv, we’re bazillionaires. 

 

          You got that right sissy. We’ve got the bestest mommy ever, altho’ we know all of you think you’ve got the bestest pawrent, and that’s okay. And meowin’ of all of ya’, we can’t ‘magine a life without you.

We wouldn’t want to Raena. We have the bestest furiends in the whole universe. God smiled on us the day we met you, our dear furiends, and we ask Him each and every day to keep and Bless you and your families. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to stop and see ‘em.

          So true sissy, so true. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go get us some mommy luvvin’. But furst, I’s wanna meow Fanky fank You God, fur all our blessings. And fanky fank all of you fur bein’ pawrt of our Blessings each day.

 

Me seconds that Raena. C’mon, me will race ya’ to mommy’s lap.

Blest Sunday: Blessings In Spite Of The Darkness

Hurry Raena, it’s Blest Sunday and we need to get our posty out. It’s your turn fur mommy watch.

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          I’s comin’, sissy. I’s been so worried ‘bout mommy. Let me get a good stretch here on this new Catit scratcher we got last month from Chewy. I’s wanna give mommy a nice relaxin’ massage. Maybe it’ll help.

 

Raena scratches on the catit zebra scratcher

 

 

 

Me’s sure mommy will ‘purreciate that Raena. She knows how much we’ve both been worried ‘bout her. Seems things went from bad to worse last week at mommy’s dental ‘pointment and she’s been cryin’ ever since. Me’s furs haven’t gotten this soaked in a while.

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, I’s couldn’t believe that after everythin’ she’s been thru and everythin’ they’ve put her thru, they had the nerve to tell her she still owed money. And not just a few dollars either, but a whoppin’ $800.00. I’s should’a known somethin’ was up when I’s didn’t recognize anypawdy when we went back in February. I’s mean, we knew they went thru dentists like a hot knife thru butter; but the office staff had always remained constant. Well, till this year that is. And now they’re sayin’ that mommy paid fur a temporary lower denture but the purr-manent one was never included in the plan. Somethin’ ‘bout only billin’ fur services they’re purrvidin’ at the time. Mommy tried showin’ ‘em her paperwork that showed the purrmanent lower denture, and the paper that said she had a zero balance. But they said they don’t use those forms anymore and even tho it was listed, it was never included in the purrice. And, since the lady that told mommy it was, is no longer with the company, they can only go on what their new paperwork says. And, it says mommy owes them fur the purrmanent bottom denture. But hey, it’s cheaper than the partial she was gonna get. She kept callin’ mommy “my love”, as ifin that was gonna make it all better. Hisssssssss 

 

Raena lays on catit zebra scratcher

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me doesn’t know how they kept a straight face. Or how many more peeps have they done this too?. Ya’ know, they’ve got ya’. Ya’ can’t argue with peeps who don’t have a clue, and they know you’re gonna pay cuz ifin ya’ don’t, ya’ don’t get your teethies. (Dezi and Raena both shake their heads) It’s just so upsettin’. Mommy’s so tired of fightin’ and bein’ alone in all this. She just wants to give up on everythin’. Like, where’s she s’posed to get $800.00? Even ifin she gave ‘em her whole check it wouldn’t be enuff. ‘Course, mommy would never do that, cuz that would mean we wouldn’t get any noms fur the month and would purrobably be evicted fur not payin’ the rent. Me gets why mommy’s so upset, me just doesn’t get how these peeps can do this. 

 

 Dezi gets love while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Well, I’s don’t like it sissy. I’s want mine’s happy mommy back. Ifin she’d just have let me at ‘em, I’s would’a gave that my luvs babblin’ lady the o’l whacky paw of correction and a bitey she’d never furget. Anyways, even in what seems like one of mommy’s darkest hours, she continued to say we are Blest. She held each of us and told us how much she luvs us and how Blest she is to have us. And, I’s did see a smile last night when you took your big o’l paw and wiped away her tears and stretched your head out fur a kiss. She says it’s so cute how you poke your mouth out and close your eyes like you’re actually kissin’ her.

 

That’s cuz me really is kissin’ her, silly. Me luvs mommy so much. Sometimes our duties are to just make mommy feel better.

 

 Raena lays sleeping in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          I’s luvs luvvin’ on mommy, sissy.

 

 

 

Me too, Raena. No matter what else may be goin’ on, luv can conquer all. We are so blest to have a luvvin’ mommy, a furever home, food in our tummies and the bestest furiends in the universe. What a meowvelous life we have. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. And, ifin ya’ can spare a purrayer or two, we’d really ‘purreciate it.

          One last thing sissy…let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We’ve had lots of time to spend in mommy’s lap lately, so we’ve got purrlenty of lap selfies/plandids.
