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.

We’re havin’ pizza now sissy? But I’s just ate mine’s brekky?. 

 

          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.

I’s know what ya’ mean sissy. What do ya’ meow we go play with our new toys? With all the storms out there’s nuffin’ to see out the window. Fanky fank all of you who sent us cards, gifts, well wishes and luv. We luvs each of you and are so grateful to have you in our lives. It’s also boxing day. We don’t have any new box fotos, so we thought we’d post an older one. We do luvs boxes.

Chatting Cats: What’s In A Name #FelineFriday

MeOW  Hey Raena, have you been workin’ on any new plans? Like maybe some business we could start, or some way fur us to get more treats? You know our furiends seem to get a lot of treats. We even got asked the other day how we could survive without treats.  

 

Dezi sits atop the Liberty Cat tree while Raena lays on the top ledge looking out the door

 

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Did you tell ‘em that we never got many treats, so we never developed a taste fur ‘em? We fur sure don’t like those temptation things that they make those stupid commercials ‘bout. I’s just hate that one with the guy sittin’ on the upstairs balcony throwin’ one at a time out fur some poor kitty havin’ to jump up from the ground to ketch it. Hmmmmpht Ain’t no piece of kibble that tasty.

Yeah Raena, me’s with you on that one. But that ain’t the only silly commercial. Me doesn’t know what you see in watchin’ so much tv?  

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, there’s just so much to learn. Did you know our furiend Marigold was from the hood? Word is she could teach us a thing or two ‘bout ketchin’ those hood rats you were meowin’ ‘bout the other day. 

  

 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

 

RaenaBelle, me doesn’t know how else me can meow it. Me wasn’t meowin’ ‘bout actual rats. Ifin me had been, you would’a needed to put on your runnin’ shoes. Me’s heard rats can get really big; and fur a Ragdoll, you’re kind’a small.   

 

Raena watches the lions eat their kill

 

 

 

          I’s not small sissy. I’s a long and lean mean kitty Queen.   

 

Kitty queen huh? Me thought mommy x’plained to you that even tho’ you might be the Alpha cat in our house. you’re not the Queen, me is.   

 

          No sissy, mommy said I’s the Queen and you’re the Em-purress. By the way, what’s an Empress?  

 

She did, did she? (Dezi contemplates the hierarchy of royalty and smiles.)  Well then, me’s the Em-puress of this here ‘pawrtment.  

 

          (Raena leans over and whispers to Dezi)  Ranch sissy, I’s think it sounds better. 

 

Dezi looks full on at the camera while sitting ion the stroller outsideDoes this look like a ranch to you?

 

 

 

 

What? We don’t live on a ranch Raena. Wherever did you come up with that one? And what difference does it make what we call it? 

 

          Well sissy, I’s know we’re from the South. And that we’re real live Southern Belles, you know like Scarlet? But, I’s thought peeps might think we’re purrejudice or somethin’ ifin we called our place a Plantation. And, since mommy worked on a couple of horse and cattle ranches when she lived in Georgia, and we luvs horses, I’s thought a ranch was the next bestest thing.  

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, selfie

 

 

 

(Dezi shakes her head while furrowing her brow.) Only you Raena, only you. Sometimes me just can’t follow your logic. Me’s not even sure you are logical.

 

Raena sleeps tummy up in mommy's lapI’s have lots of great big dreams. See me smile?

 

 

 

 

          I’s don’t have a clue what you’re meowin’ ‘bout sissy, but mommy says there’s nuffin’ wrong with me wantin’ to call our ‘pawrtment a ranch. Mommy says to dream big and believe and that’s x’actly what I’s doin’. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll wake up and be on our very own fur real ranch. 

 

Sure Raena, whatever you meow. (Dezi thinks to herself about prowling the halls of a real ranch and waking to the crow of a rooster.) That would be kind’a nice. Anyways, are you goin’ with mommy to her doctor’s ‘pointment today?  

 

Close up of Raena's white eye post surgeryCheck out mine’s “white” eye 29 days post surgery. Doesn’t it look

pawsum? No red or inflamation or gunky oil or anythin’. Just clear blue.

Mommy cut out mine’s other eye but it looks just as good.

 

 

 

 

          That’s the plan sissy. I’s gonna have to go get ready here purretty soon. Furst tho’, let’s link up with Comedy Plus fur Feline Furiday

 

Dezi lays on scratcher yawning

 

 

 

Well Raena, while ya’ll are gone me’s just gonna be enjoyin’ a little nap on the scratcher here. Mr. Sunshine’s here and there’s no sight of old man Winter anywhere. At least not today. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: How Blessings Work

Dezi:  MeOW  Welcome, welcome, it’s Blest Sunday, and are we ever Blest. Yeah, yeah, me knows it’s been a ruff week what with Raena’s health mews, the continued storms outside and all the other things that have come our way. But, ya’ wanna know how Blessings work? 

 

Raena stands on the Liberty Cat tree while Dezi looks back at her from the ledge

 

 

 

          Raena:  Blessings don’t work sissy, they just are. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

Me’s not meowin’ ‘bout that kind’a work Raena. Kittens!!! Sometimes, you’re so literal. Anyways, what me meant is that even bad things come with Blessings. Like, we hated hearin’ you have Entropion and gingivitis. But, we choose to see the Blessing, we furinally have answers and even better, it can be fixed. See, that’s how Blessings work. 

 

          I’s get it sissy. It’s lookin’ fur the good even tho’ what you might see furst is the bad. Ya’ know what else? I’s think you’ve been much nicer to me since you found out mine’s eyes be hurtin’. Y, You didn’t even hiss when I’s jumped on you this meownin’ at brekky. 

 

Dezi and Raena atop the liberty cat tree with Yeowww toy

 

 

 

Yeah well, don’t get used to it Raena. The minute you feel better, me’s gonna give you the whacky paw of instruction ifin you jump on me again. 

 

          Aaaaaaaaaw sissy, I’s know you don’t mean it. You know you luvs me.

 

Me does Raena, but haven’t you ever heard, spare the rod and spoil the child? Everypawdy needs a little discipline now and then. 

 

Animated thank you rose

 

          Whatever you meow sissy. I’s thought we were countin’ our Blessings, not meowin’ ‘bout rods and things spoilin’. I’s wanna say a meowsy big Fanky fank you to awnty Cindy, awnty Jeanne, awnty Sandra and awnty Juliea and Patzy fur the green papers to help me have the surgery I’s need. 

 

Thank You emoji

 

You’re right Raena, that’s a huge Blessing. And we’re so grateful. Me’s always told you that we have the bestest furiends in the universe. Meowin’ of, me’s wants to fank awnty Anonymous fur sendin’ me some green papers fur me’s Birthday. How’s the pawrty plannin’ goin’?  

 

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party invite

 

 

          It’s goin’ great sissy. Mommy’s helpin’ me and we made a little invite last night. I’s sure hope all our furiends send their masked fotos. I’s purromissed that we’d have a contest fur the bestest mask or costume. I’s think I’s might be just as x’cited ‘bout the pawrty as you are. Celebratin’ Birthdays and Gotchadays is celebratin’ the biggest Blessing a kitty or woofy can have. 

 

 

Dezi selfie

 

 

You’re fur sure right ‘bout that Raena. The biggest Blessing in me’s life is mommy. Ya’ know, we need to wrap this up. Me’s got a jamboree to attend at Cat Scouts this week. But befur we go, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. There really is a Blessing inside every dark cloud, a rose among the thorns, sometimes we just have to look a little closer to see them. We’d also like to Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Blest Sunday: A New Day A New Blessing

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. It’s time to get outta the window and count our Blessings. 

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Raena: What are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy? I’s not in the window. Last time I’s checked, this was a door. And technically, I’s not in it.  MOL

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

Dezi:  Okay miss smarty pantaloons, get away from the door and let’s get to work. 

 

          Raena:  Work? I’s didn’t hear mommy ask fur anythin’. What do we need to do? 

 

Dezi lays in wheelchair

 

 

 

Dezi:  Not that work silly. Me meant it’s time to write our posty. (Dezi shakes her head)  Sometimes, you’re not the crispest cracker in the box. Guess it’s a good thing you got the purretty gene. We can’t all be purretty and smart like me.

 

          Raena:  Huh?  Somehow sissy, I’s thinkin’ you’re not actually payin’ me a compliment. But, it’s Blest Sunday, so I’s not gonna fight with ya’ today. I’s am purretty. Mommy even says I’s gawjus. When God started passin’ out the purretties, I’s got in line twice. 

 

Dezi:  RaenaBelle Mayce…Girl, you’ve gotta stop watchin’ so much tv. You’re startin’ to sound as silly as some of the peeps on those shows you like. 

 

Raena sits pretty profile

 

 

 

          Raena:  But sissy, you can learn so much from tv. Altho’ ya’ have to be careful what ya’ watch. Mommy says even regular tv is usin’ a lot of HBO words these days. Anyways, did you see that cool runnin’ wheel fur kitties the other day? I’s want one. I’s think it would be so much fun. 

 

Dezi:  You would Raena. Me thinks it would be lots of fun to watch you runnin’ in place. Maybe it would tire you out a bit so you’d pester me less. Hmmmmmm  Me needs to mention this to mommy. A kitty wheel fur sure needs to be on our Christmas wish list. Anyways, me wanted to meow ‘bout how the weather started to cool off some this past week. Cooler weather means me has more energy. (Dezi stops and thinks for a minute) ‘Course, it also means you have more energy too. Yep, we fur sure need one of those wheels. 

 

          Raena:  I’s enjoyin’ the cooler weather too sissy. Ifin it would stop rainin’ so much we could go fur some nice strolls with mommy. I’s luvs mommy and me time soooooo much. I’s count mommy as mine’s biggest Blessing every single day. You’re mine’s second Blessing and our furiends are mine’s third. Every Blessing after that is just the bonito flakes over rabbit.

 

Dezi looks over shoulder from the toy box

 

 

 

Dezi:  You’re right Raena, we are indeed very Blest kitty girls. We actually received one of those other Blessings this week. We wanna say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Susan fur the green papers and her furiendship. We fank God fur bringin’ us and mommy together and makin’ it pawssible fur us to meet so many amazin’ peeps and anipals. And, while me may not like thunderstorms and rain, me’s fankful fur it cuz it makes the purretty flowers bloom and the air smell furesh. Blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to open our eyes and see ‘em. 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap and get love

I’s luvs you too mommy.

 

 

 

          Raena:  That’s so true sissy. Every meownin’ when we wake up mommy smiles. She can’t even move yet, but she looks over at us and smiles and says fanky fank you to God. Mommy says just wakin’ up to a new day is a Blessing. It makes me so happy that I’s turn on mine’s motor boat full blast. MOmmy says it’s like she has a vibrating bed. I’s don’t know zactly what that means, but I’s do know it makes mommy happy and that’s all I’s care ‘bout. 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying on the chair arm

Me’s mommy. Life is good.

 

 

 

Dezi: Me too Raena. Let’s wrap this up. Me heard mommy say somethin’ ‘bout a foto shoot. Befur we go, 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, fank you fur bein’ a Blessing in ours. 

 

          Raena:  Don’t furget ‘bout our selfies with the Kitties Blue, sissy. 

 

Dezi:  How could me furget Raena? You’re always there to remind me. 

 

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