Tell All Tuesday: Play Dates And Prayers #PranciesPrayer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Hurry, gather ‘round, our playdate guest will be here any minute now. (Raena frantically surveys her kingdom to make sure everything’s picked up and clean.  She wants her playdate to feel welcome)  Sissy, are you ready, Prancie’s gonna be here soon?. Why don’t you ask mommy ifin we can put some silvervine down on the scratchers. I’s bet Prancie would luvs that. 

 

Dezi plays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Raena, calm down. Me’s sure Prancie will have fun. Besides, we’re gonna have a story time with her new book. You know, the one awnty Ellen sent us to review. There’ll be purrlenty of time to play later. Now, help me set up our tunnel pawtal so she doesn’t smack into the door. (Dezi and Raena get the tunnel set up and have a quick bath before Prancie arrives. Suddenly they hear the swoosh of the portal) Hurry Raena, she’s here!!! 

 

Hey Prancie, good to see ya’ girl. How was your trip? Wanna lay down on the scratcher and rest a minute? We’ve been lookin’ furward… 

 

          RaenaBelle!!! Calm down, let her ketch her breath fur kittens sake. Sorry ‘bout her Prancie, she only has one speed and it’s full on all the time.

 

Dezi and Raena sit on floor looking at Prancie laying on cat scratcher

 

 

 

     No problem Dezi, there’s a few of those at my house too. With so many siblings, you can always count on mayhem. And in the 13 years I’ve lived at my house, I’ve seen it all. Thanks for inviting me over girls, I’m happy to be here. This scratcher is pretty comfy. 

 

It is, isn’t it Prancie. Besides mommy’s lap, it’s purrobably our next favorite seat. So, do have any besties at your house? 

 

     Well Raena, Phoebe and I hit it off right from the start. I pretty much get along with everybody, but yeah, I’d say Phoebe was my bestie. She is missed. (Prancie drifts off in memory for a minute)

 

Dezi lays in stroller looking at Prancies Prayer

 

 

 

          Let’s meow ‘bout your book fur a minute Prancie. We luvved readin’ your story. Altho’ me has to admit, it made us very sad that somepawdy could kick you out into the cold mean streets. We’re such pam-purred pusses, we can’t even ‘magine what you must’ve went thru.

 

     It was quite a shock to me too Dezi. It got so cold, and I was so hungry, I almost gave up. My ears were so cold and then they weren’t. Part of them died and fell off. It sure was a rough life. When I saw that manger with fresh hay part of me wanted to just curl up in it and die. But, when I saw the people who would become my forever family, a little spark of hope welled up inside me and gave me the strength to ask God and them for help.

 

Raena looks at Prancie's Prayer book commenting

 

 

 

Ooh Ooh, that’s mine’s second favorite pawrt, Prancie. Mine’s favoritest pawrt is when awnty Ellen and uncle David adopted you and let you stay with them. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree looking over at Prancie laying on cat tree

 

 

 

     Well Raena, my dad wasn’t my biggest cheerleader at first. But, I finally wrapped him around my paws. I’m a big daddy’s girl for sure. One of my favorite things is the chicken he feeds me off his plate. As you all would say, I’m one blest kitty, that’s for sure. 

 

Raena stands on cat tree looking at Prancie's Prayer book

I’s luvs the pics.

 

 

You sure are Prancie. I’s know sissy and me are so Blest to have you and your whole family as furiends. We think your ears give you character. We know ya’ll didn’t include the story of your ears in your book, but we’re glad you meowed ‘bout ‘em here. Peeps need to unnerstand, that just cuz we kitties have furs doesn’t mean we don’t get cold and suffer from weather the same as they would. We think your book would make a purrfect gift fur any occasion. And, with Christmas comin’ soon, we hope it makes it unner the tree fur lots of little humans.

 

Dezi and Prancie lay in the wheelchair chatting

 

 

 

          We should tell everypawdy where they can get their own copy girls. It’s available on amazon and Barnes and Noble fur $12.95. And, peeps can also order it directly from you and awnty Ellen at 15andMeowing.com fur $10.00. You can also get the kindle version fur $2.99. All proceeds go to help suppurrt all the kitties livin’ with Prancie and awnty Ellen.

 

     Thanks Dezi. I also brought a copy to give away. Mom says we’ll ship it anywhere in the U.S..

We also learned that awnty Ellen has a degree Elementary Education and that’s what sparked her idea to write your story as a children’s book. Like ya’ll, we believe that all kitties and even woofies deserve luvvin’ furever homes. The ‘purrtant thing to ‘member, is that kitties don’t act out of spite. There’s no bad kitty.

Chatting Cats: Raena’s New Plan 2 #PurrsWithAPurr-Puss

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s got big plans. Seems mine’s latest business idea Purrs With A Purr-Puss is a big hit. Sissy, did you hear? Everypawdy thinks mine’s idea is great. We even had several kitties say they’d gladly purrvide the purrs. And, purrlenty of peeps said they’d pay fur those purrs. But, I’s thinkin’ we should add things to our menu; you know, like a la carte’ things they can ask fur. ‘Course there would be an additional charge fur these things. We’d have to be really careful who we sent on each job tho’. You know, some kitties get so x’cited, they’d give away the extras fur free, like drools and makin’ biskits and stuffs. 

 

Raena lays on chair arm while Dezi climbs down from shelf with plants

 

 

 

          Well Raena, while me certainly agrees that your idea is a good one, just how do you think you’re gonna run a business, hire kitties, collect green papers and pay your employees? 

 

So maybe there’s still a few kinks to work out sissy. But I’s think this is gonna be the bestest thing since sliced bonito flakes. Y, We might even be bigger than catnip!!! I’s can see it now, we’ll be rollin’ in dough. Our names will be in lights. We’ll be known as the Purr-Puss Queens. Can you see it? We’ll have billboards and branches all over the world!!! I’s meowed with Shoko and Tyebe ‘bout bein’ heads of our Canadian branch. And Erin, the Cat Princess is on board to head our across the pond branch in her region. So, we just need to get more kitties across the world to get on board. We’ll all be rich, rich, rich!!! Imagine the treats and nip and vine we can buy. (Raena rubs her paws together as she envisions piles of nip and silvervine

 

          Sure Raena. (Dezi shakes her head) You still haven’t addressed any of the things me brought up befur. So, are you takin’ applications? And what ‘bout all the purrs we give away every day? Do you expect mommy to start payin’? Cuz me’s purretty sure that ain’t gonna happen. Me’s also purretty sure awnty Jean ain’t gonna be payin’ Shoko and Tyebe either. 

 

Raena sits on the back of the chair

 

 

 

Really sissy? Are you sure, cuz I’s know mommy would want us to succeed. How would it look ifin we gave away our services to mommy fur free? 

 

          Well Raena, lots of businesses give furiends and families discounts. And lots of time those discounts mean free fur family. 

 

Maybe sissy, but I’s saw a show on tv that said you can’t give away your product, even ifin it’s family. Otherwise, you’ll never make a profit. 

 

Dezi sits on table with plants and fountain

 

 

 

          You’ve got lots of things you really need to work out Raena. In the meantime, we’ve got other things we need to be workin’ on too. Do you realize the holidays are almost here? Me’s Birthday is just right ‘round the corner. Me wants to have a big celebration. Do you wanna help me plan it? 

 

‘Course I’s wanna help sissy. But what ifin mommy was plannin’ on throwin’ you a surpurrise pawrty? 

 

          That’s okay, Raena. Me could have 2 pawrties. You know, one can never have too many pawrties. Anytime we spend with furiends is a good time. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree looking off, profile

 

 

 

Meowin’ of furiends sissy, I’s invited Prancie over fur a play date next week. She’s gonna bring a copy of her new book so we can host a give away. Isn’t that gonna be pawsum? I’s told mommy she needed to get herself together and get your sis Lexi’s book written, so we can write a book of our own. Maybe we could even write a book ‘bout mine’s new business venture. 

 

Dezi eats freeze dried raw food

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle!!!  ‘Nuff with the business stuffs. (Dezi shakes her head) Girl, you’re like a dog with a bone. You never let anythin’ go. Push, push, push, that’s all you do. Anyways, we do have lots to do, so we better wrap it up and finish our brekky. Me has plans fur a nice relaxin’ afternoon nip nap. Me just has to convince mommy to give me some nip furst. 

 

Raena with silvervine on cat tree

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw Silvervine, you’re mines.

 

 

 

Nip? I’s want the nip and vine too sissy. Maybe ifin we both give mommy the sad face she’ll give in. C’mon, let’s go see.

Tell All Tuesday: A Backseat Hammock #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, just when I’s didn’t think it could rain and storm anymore, it rained and stormed some more. It poured so hard we had flood puddles ‘stead of sun puddles. I’s was sure we were gonna drown. But, just as quick as it flooded, it all got drank up by the thirsty dirt. Fanky fankfully, cuz mommy says the weather guessers are repurrtin’ more storms in our near future. Hmmmpht 

 

Dezi looks at Raena at the top of the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          It ain’t stormin’ right now Raena, so let’s focus on somethin’ besides all the water and thunder boomers. 

 

What do you wanna meow ‘bout sissy? Maybe mommy’s betrayal? Did you see her? I’s mean, I’s couldn’t believe mine’s own blue eyes. I’s thought they must be all mucky. I’s tried wipin’ ‘em and washin’ ‘em and I’s even closed ‘em real tight and opened ‘em in a hurry. No matter what I’s did, I’s saw the same thing. I’s could even hear her, cooin’ and gigglin’ and sayin’ all the sweet things she says to us to IT. (Raena shudders

 

Dezi lays atop the cat tree selfie

 

 

 

 

          Nah Raena, me didn’t see any of that. Me had already headed out fur a huntin’ adventure…UTB (under the bed). So, what happened? Are you sure ‘bout what you’re meowin’? You know mommy luvs us and me doesn’t think she’d ever betray us. 

 

Raena hunches on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Well!!! You didn’t see what I’s saw, sissy. It was betrayal of the highest order. Yep, saw it with mine’s own eyes and I’s can’t unsee it. Ya’ know, I’s don’t mind mommy drivin’ ‘round in the colds and feedin’ the less furtunate kitties and cooin’ at them. I’s don’t even mind, much, when one lets her get in a pet now and then. I’s purray every night fur all those kitties to find a luvvin’ furever. But I’s draw the line at puttin’ the neighbors obnoxious woofie in mine’s car and cooin’ and takin’ fotos!!! I’s mean, isn’t it bad enuff that we have to hear him barkin’ at all hours and hear the neighbor hollerin’ at him to shut up? It’s not right I’s tell ya’, just not right. What next…? 

 

          Uh Raena, me’s purretty sure you’re the blame fur all that. Me does seem to ‘member hearin’ mommy talk ‘bout it with you when she came back inside. You were standin’ at the door meowin’ at the top of your lungs. But, when mommy tried to get you to pose in the car, you didn’t want nuffin’ to do with it. 

 

Well where were you sissy? You could’a done it. 

 

Dezi and Raena with the Frisco Car Seat Cover

 

 

 

          Nah, huh uh. That’s not me’s gig. Mommy was so x’cited when Chewy offered the Frisco Quilted Water Resistant Car Seat Cover this month, that me thought she was gonna use it fur herself. She’s been lookin’ at ‘em fur a while now. She says it would allow us to travel without havin’ to be inside the stroller or carrier while in the car. But, me doesn’t mind layin’ in the stroller. You’re the one that always wants to get up and count cars and wave at truckers. So me told you that it was your job to pose with it when it got here. ‘Member? Me said me would meow ‘bout it all day, but you had to be the model. So, the way me sees it, you’re the blame fur mommy puttin’ a woofie in Our car. Why don’t we see what Chewy has to say ‘bout the seat cover.

Well sissy, I’s still think you could’a come out and took a few fotos. Anythin’ to keep mommy from goin’ to the woofies. Anyways, mommy got us the Quilted Hammock style fur comfurt. It’s nice and big and roomy and has2 big o’l pockets on both sides of it. The padding isn’t like your pillow top mattress or anythin’, but it did feel a bit comfy. And fur short trips, the hammock style works well to keep us from getting’ scared and hidin’ unner the car seat. Mommy says she had a kitty get unner the car seat befur and it took several hours to get kitty out. And the whole time, she was terrified that kitty might dart out the door and get hurt. The Car Seat Cover can be secured in place and allows fur us to be strapped in with the seat belt. Now, while I’s might not have posed very well, I’s can tell ya’ it’ll be purrfect fur lettin’ me look out the windows at the passin’ cars and trucks. Sometimes the nice truckers honk their horns at me. I’s thinkin’ as soon as mommy washes woofie off our seat cover, I’s gonna really enjoy it. 

 

Niggy the dog with car seat cover

 

 

 

          Well Raena, cleanin’ it up is gonna be really easy. It can be spot cleaned in case kitty or woofie has a little accident, or it can even go in the washin’ machine. Now that’s mommy’s kind’a clean up. And those pockets are big enuff to hold quite a bit. Y, you could put a few piddle pads, water bottles, bowls, treats, extra harnesses or dresses and still have room fur a few human things. Me got a real good look at it when mommy opened it up in the house. ‘Course, we gotta be honest as always and say that the instructions were a bit confusin’. Mommy got it figgered out, mostly. But, it took a while and there’s a few flaps she still hasn’t figgered out where they go. That bein’ said, ifin you have a kitty or woofie who would be happier sittin on the seat ‘stead of travelin’ in their carrier/PTU, then this is a great option. Just ‘member to be sure and strap kitty/woofie in with the seat belt. Safety Furst.

 

Niggy on car seat cover

 

 

 

Yep sissy, and it’ll fit most vehicles. We have a smaller mid size car and had no purroblem with size. As you can see by the fotos, it does fit a little funny, but that’s cuz mommy keeps the front passenger seat laid back to accommodate the stroller. Unfurtunately, it’s stormed most every day this month so mommy had to install it and take fotos in t’ween down pours. And, I’s might not be fraid of the storms when I’s inside, but with the rumbles in the skies and the car doors wide open, I’s wasn’t the most coopurrative model. Mommy did resort to goin’ next door and borrowin’ the neighbors doggy, Niggy. Yep, that’s his name alright. The Frisco Car Seat Covers are available in quilted and not and hammock style or regular. Prices range from $20.99 to $44.99. As always, orders of $49.00 or more at Chewy.com ship speedy and free with a flat rate shipping on all orders under $49.00.

Chatting Cats: Raena’s New Plan #PurrsWithAPurr-Puss

Raena:  Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Hey sissy, did you notice anythin’ different this meownin’? 

 

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

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Different? Like what Raena? Did you do somethin’ new to your furs? 

 

Raena:  Don’t be silly sissy, I’s can’t change mine’s furs. I’s meant did you notice that old fly is furinally gone? I’s got him befur he could multiply again.

 

Dezi lays on chair arm

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Oh, that. Did you really get him or did he just furinally die of starvation? And, ifin you actually got him, then why was there a teeny fly in me’s food this meownin’? 

 

Raena:  I’s got him sissy. Mommy even called me the Mighty Huntress, Queen of her jungle. As fur your teeny fly, mommy says that’s a gnat, not a fly. Did you eat him? He’s just a nibble of protein. But don’t you worry, I’s RaenaBelle, Queen of mine’s jungle will ketch him in no time. 

 

          Dezi:  Oh yeah Raena? Is layin’ in front of you plate bobbin’ your head what you call huntin’? Me saw that gnat in your plate too. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree

 

 

 

Raena:  I’s just plannin’ mine’s pounce sissy, that’s all. You know, form is very ‘purrtant when huntin’. And, I’s a girly, I’s wanna look good even when I’s stalkin’ mine’s prey. You know, like a lean mean killin’ machine. 

 

Dezi lays on wheelchair

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Seriously Raena, you’re watchin’ far too much teevee. Girl, you need to get out some. (Dezi shakes her head while mumbling) Lean mean killin’ machine…We’re housecats, we don’t have any need to be lean, mean or killin’ machines. Hmmmpht  You know mommy likes us to have a little meat on our bones, don’ch’a? ‘Member the last time mommy took you to the V-E-T and said she felt like she was starvin’ ya’ cuz you’re so skinny? 

 

Raena:  I’s do sissy. But mommy ain’t starvin’ me. I’s just built different and so I’s skinnier than you. 

 

          Dezi:  Are you callin’ me fat, Raena? 

 

Raena sits pretty in the hallway

 

 

 

Raena:  ‘Course not sissy. I’s was just meowin’ that some kitties have a stockier build, like you do and some of us are long and lean…that’s all. Anyways, ‘nuff weight meowin’, we’ve got lots of other things to do and meow ‘bout. Like our upcomin’ playdate with Prancie. I’s can’t wait. I’s luvs our furiends soooooo much. I’s wish we could meet ‘em all and have everypawdy over fur a play date. (Raena’s eyes get bigger than saucers as she daydreams about meeting all her friends

 

          Dezi:  Me too Raena. That would be amazin’…and ‘spensive. We’d have to figger out a way to make some green papers so we’d have a way fur everypawdy to get here and a place fur everypawdy to stay. 

 

Raena:  Well sissy, I’s saw on the teevee the other day where peeps were rentin’ their cars out. You know, peeps are doin’ a lot of strange things to make money these days. 

 

Dezi gets love while standing on mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Yeah Raena, me’s not sure anypawdy would pay actual money to rent our car. While we may feel blest to have it, it’s not the bestest lookin’ car on the road, nor the most reliable.

 

Raena:  You’re purrobably right sissy. Maybe we could rent out our services. You know, purrs fur green papers? How much do you think we could charge?

 

          Dezi:  Ya’ know Raena, that’s not the worst idea you’ve come up with. That actually sounds like it could work. Ya’ know, ‘specially fur those that don’t want all the respawnsibilities that come along with ownin’ a kitty. They could pay like a thousand dollars fur 30 minutes of full on purrs. And we could charge extra fur makin’ biskits. 

 

Raena's profile while sitting on cat tree

 

 

 

Raena:  (Raena meows excitedly)  Ooh Ooh yeah, and we could charge another thousand fur your drool. You know, we could tell peeps that it’s special drool…maybe even anti-aging. You know how women are ‘bout wrinkles. MOL Oh sissy, I’s think we need to put us a business plan together and see ifin we can’t get a start up loan or somethin’. We could advertise on our bloggy and the facebutt (facebook). They advertise everythin’ there. Y, It’d be purrrrrrfect!!! 

 

          Dezi:  Slow down Raena, slow down. Me’s not sure mommy’ll go fur this. After all, who’s gonna look after her while we’re workin’? 

 

Raena:  Hmmmmm Okay, so maybe I’s don’t have it all worked out yet. But, I’s really think we should put some more thought into this. Maybe we could just run the business and hire other pussy cats to actually do the work.

 

Dezi gets loving while standing on mommy's lap

 

 

 

         Dezi:  (Dezi looks off and thinks for a minute while getting love from mommy) You might have somethin’ there Raena. Let’s go mull this over and meow ‘bout it a little more. Maybe we can hammer out all the deets (details) after a mid meownin’ nap. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree and looks to the side

 

 

 

Raena:  I’s right behind ya’ sissy. Let me just grab a pen and paper in case somethin’ comes to me in mine’s dreams. Like, a name. We could call it, Purrs of Gold. Or maybe Purrs fur Papers, ya’ know, the green ones?. Purrs With a Purr-puss, oooooh I’s really like that one. Get it, Purr Puss, Purr-puss (purpose). Purrs…(Raena settles in for a nap while yammering on and on.)

 

Would you pay money to have a kitty sit in your lap and purr?

What do you think of Dezi and Raena’s newest business plan?
