Chatting Cats: Happy Independence Day

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s been readin’ up on this Independence day that we’re celebratin’ today here in the U.S.. Ya’ know, what I’s read made me so purroud to be an American kitty, and even brought a few tears to mine’s eyes. We are so Blest to have had such wise fore fathers who recognized God had created them and gave them the freedom to choose how to live and govern. This great Country was born out of the desire to escape tyranny.

          That’s right Raena. And, ‘stead of creatin’ a government with a king or a dictator, they decided our government should be one that’s ruled by the people it serves. Unfurtunately, some of the repurrsentatives that have been elected don’t always follow the wishes of the people they repurrsent. It’s a real shame when this happens. That bein’ meowed, just like any other employee, those repurrsentatives can be voted out and new ones voted in.

We thought it was a cool coincidence that we took this foto this

meownin’, July 4th and the foto nummer is 1776. We just had to post it.

 

 

 

Yep sissy, and I’s also learned that no where else can peeps talk so badly ‘bout their reps without dire consequences. Throughout history peeps have been jailed and even killed fur speakin’ out against their leaders/government. But here in the U.S., peeps are free to say whatever they want, and the news sure is takin’ advantage of that lately. The latest bein’ all this talk ‘bout refugees bein’ sepurrated from their families and held in cages. They wanna blame President Trump and say it’s all his fault. Thing is, none of this started with him, and those refugees are actually bein’ treated better now than they were unner furmer administrations. And unlike us anipals when we have no home, they’re not bein’ held in cages. That’s fanky fanks to President Trump. 

 

Dezi lays in a box licking her paw

 

 

 

 

          Those are good points Raena, but we’re not here to meow ‘bout pawlitics today. We’re here to celebrate the signin’ of the Declaration of Independence and our freedom from tyranny. We live in the greatest Country in this Universe. God Bless America!!!

 

Raena sits on perch looking back

 

 

 

You’re right sissy. Ifin anypawdy’s innerested in readin’ that amazin’ document that brought ‘bout this Country’s freedom, I’s think wikipedia breaks it down nicely here. It also gives some background and other innerestin’ infurmation ‘bout that time in our history. You know the one thing I’s didn’t find in mine’s research? I’s didn’t find that any of our fore fathers set off fireworks that day. So, I’s thinkin’ we oughtta tell everypawdy, no fireworks this year. What do you think sissy? 

 

          Me thinks that’s a great idea Raena. Unfurtunately, me doesn’t think anypawdy’s gonna pay attention to us. But, did you see the new toy mommy got us to keep our minds off those noisy boomers? It’s kind’a like those hexbugs we like so much but bigger. Mommy says she hopes it stays out from unner the oven and fridge a bit better. 

 

Raena lays on the ledge of the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Really sissy? Do we have to wait fur the boomers to start befur we can play with it? I’s wanna play with it now.

          Guess you can ask mommy, Raena. But, me thinks we oughtta finish brekky furst. Anyways, we should wish everypawdy a Happy Independence day and God Bless America!!!

Chatting Cats: Getting Ready And Catching Up

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s sure hope ya’ll are stayin’ cool what with all this heat. I’s know t’ween the heat of summer of these things mommy calls her own purrsonal summers, she’s been glistenin’ a lot. What’s that? Glistenin’, you ask? Well, ladies in the South don’t sweat, they glisten. Yep, that’s right, us Southern Belles naturally glisten. And here all these beauty bloggers are spendin’ big bucks on pots of powder to do what we do naturally. MOL 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher and looks back over her shoulder

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle!!!  What are you meowin’ ‘bout now? Me’s sure mommy won’t ‘purreciate you meowin’ ‘bout her glistenin’. As soon as she gets her head outta the fureezer, me’s gonna tell her you blabbed to the world.

 

Raena sits on small perch and looks out the door

 

 

 

 

Sure you will sissy. (Looking out the door from the small perch, Raena sees the lawn crew drive up) I’s have a feelin’ you’re gonna be UTB (under the bed) befur that happens. And, mommy has her regular monthly doctors ‘pointment today, so we’ll be gone this afternoon. I’s bet by the time we get home, you’ve already furgotten what I’s might have meowed, when and to who.

 

Dezi plays on scratcher

 

 

 

 

 

          Whom, Raena, the word’s whom. 

 

Whom? Whom are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy, and why? 

 

Dezi scratches scratcher

 

 

 

 

          That’s who, Raena. Oh furget it. Ya’ll better not stay out too long, we’ve got lots of furiends left to visit. We’re slowly gettin’ caught up. But Kittens!!!, when you get behind a few days it takes furever to get all caught up.  

 

Raena sits stop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

 

That’s true sissy, but we are makin’ headway. I’s just hate it when we get behind. I’s miss hearin’ what’s goin’ on with all our furiends. Anyways, I’s doubt we’ll be gone too long. It’s s’posed to be in the triple digits today, so I’s sure mommy’ll wanna hurry and get back home. I’s do know we’re gonna make a stop and get us somethin’ special to eat fur the 4th. Fanky fanks to awnty Vonda who sent a few green papers and told mommy to get us all somethin’ that we can enjoy. Now what’s the big deal ‘bout the 4th again?

 

Dezi lays on scratcher and licks paw

 

 

 

          Well Raena, it’s Independence day. The day the furfathers signed the Declaration of Independence. That’s the good pawrt. The bad pawrt is that humans think they oughtta buy a bunch of gun powder in nifty packagin’ and set ‘em off till all hours of the night. We’re in fur a week or so of boom, boom, booms keepin’ us up and interfurrin’ with our beauty naps.

 

Like the ones we heard last night and the night befur sissy? 

 

          Yep, Raena, just like ‘em. 

 

Raena sits pretty on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Those weren’t too bad sissy. But, they better not keep us up all night. I’s want mine’s mommy and me cuddle time. Meowin’ of, guess I’s better go see what mommy’s doin’ and get ready to go to town. Why don’t you get us a nice cubby ready fur the boom boom show. Any requests fur our special meal?

 

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

Blest Sunday: Getting By In The Heat

MeOW  RaenaBelle, hurry up, it’s Blest Sunday. What are you doin’ anyways? You know it’s time to count our Blessings, so get the lead out!!!

          Raena: Sheesh sissy, chill out. What’s gotten into you? And what’s lead and where is it? I’s don’t have any lead, I’s all fur and goodness. 

 

Dezi bowed head selfie

 

 

 

Yeah, sure you are, Raena. Get the lead out is just another one of those silly human x’pressions that’s s’posed to mean hurry up.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

 

          So in other words, you just meowed hurry up twice? Like I’s didn’t hear ya’ the furst time. Anyways, what’s up with you; Peein’ everywhere but the pawtty box? Furst you started hollerin’ fur mommy to come carry ya’ to the pawtty box and then ya’ just started peein’ where ya’ stand? I’s mean, really? It’s not very ladycat like, ya’ know?. Have you furgotten that we’re like extra clean and super duper smart? Not to mention, gawjus? 

 

Why don’t you quit tellin’ tales on me and worry ‘bout yourself. Here it is summer time and ‘stead of hangin’ out and watchin’ purrime time on nature teevee from your purrch, you’re sleepin’ the day away in the pawtty box room. Who does that?

 

          Well sissy, the sink in there’s nice and cool. And it’s been really hot ‘round here lately.

 

Dezi looks at camera selfie

 

 

 

You’re right ‘bout that, Raena. We’ve definitely had the hots this past week. Mommy says it’s only gonna get hotter, so me guesses we better get used to it. ‘Course, that brings me to the furst Blessin’ me’s grateful fur this week, air conditioning. We don’t have to try to find a cool spot, the whole house is a cool spot.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          That’s so true sissy. And we’ve got purrlenty to eat, and a mommy who luvs us unconditionally. We sure are Blest kitties. I’s mean, did you see all the noms we got? ‘Pawrently there was a sale, so mommy stocked up on one of our faves, Primal freeze dried rabbit. 

 

Yep Raena, me saw it. And, she just ordered 2 big o’le bags of litter. She says it was on sale fur half purrice. 

 

          That’s great sissy, but maybe ‘stead of buyin’ litter, she should’a stocked up on piddle pads. 

 

Dezi with lowered head and flat ears selfie

 

 

 

Well Raena, maybe me’s peein’ outside of the pawtty box has somethin’ to do with that stinky purrfumed clay litter we tried out last month. Mommy plans on throwin’ it out when our new litter gets here. 

 

          What x’cuse are ya’ gonna use then sissy? Ya’ know, when you still pee on the floor? 

 

Why don’t you not worry ‘bout it Raena. Hmmmpht  Besides, me used the piddle pad, not the floor. So, what’s the furst Blessing you wanna count this week? 

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree looking off into space

 

 

 

          Well sissy, like always, I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur all our amazin’ furiends. Last week we posted a give away and asked our furiends to nominate their favorite shelters to receive a Cat Amazing Shelter Kit of their own. Fanky fank you all fur your nominations. We put all the names into Random Picker and asked it to choose a winner. The lucky shelter that will be receiving an amazin’ purrize is Safe Haven for Cats in Raleigh North Carolina. We hope they enjoy their Cat Amazing as much as we do. We have the most wonderful and generous furiends in the universe. I’s can’t ‘magine life without ‘em, can you? 

 

Yeah Raena, Furiends are always a great Blessing, and you’re right, ours are the greatest. Every day we ask God to Bless them and their families. 

 

          Ya’ know sissy, I’s been thinkin’… 

 

Dezi lays on arm of chair and looks down

 

 

 

Oh No Raena, don’t let your head explode. When you start thinkin’, somehow, we always seem to get into trouble. What do ya’ say we do less thinkin’ and take a nice afternoon nap?. Maybe we can play when it cools off some. Me seems to ‘member we got a new toy this week. Mommy hasn’t takin’ it outta the box yet, but it’s s’posed to be guaranteed to appeal to our sense of kitty adventure.

 

Raena lays on the liberty cat tree-profile selfie

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Then how can you take a nap, knowin’ we have a new toy that we haven’t even seen yet? Where is it? I’s wanna see the new toy now!!! You can nap ifin ya’ want, but I’s gonna go have a little chat with mommy. 

 

You do that Raena. In the meantime, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you all fur bein’ such amazin’ furiends. We luv ya’ll bunches and bunches.

 

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

Chatting Cats: The Mighty Huntress Scourge Of Insects

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. (Raena sees something out of the corner of her eye) MeOW  Sissy!!! Did you see that?!!! What was that? Where’d it go? (Raena runs and jumps on the scratcher in front of the t.v. where a fly zooms past her) Where’d you go little fly? Come back here! I’s RaenaBelle, Queen of mine’s domain and the mighty huntress. I’s put fear in all those who cross mine’s path. I’s the scourge of the insect world. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

          Scourge…Hmmpht  You got that right. MOL  Raena, you better be careful or you’re gonna hurt yourself. What would it look like ifin the mighty huntress, queen of her domain was done in by a little fly? 

 

Raena stands on cat scratcher looking shocked

 

 

 

(Raena jumps off the scratcher and back on again and again pawing at the fly. She runs to the door perch, the kitchen and back to the scratcher chasing the fly.) Come here fly, I’s gonna get ya’. Once I’s got your scent I’s don’t stop fur nuffin’. You’s might as well give up now. (Looking over at Dezi, Raena meows) I’s not gonna get hurt sissy. I’s the greatest huntress ever. I’s learned everythin’ I’s know ‘bout huntin’ from mine’s lion furiends in the tv box when I’s was just a baby kitten. ‘Member sissy? I’s helped them hunt a buffalo, and a zebra, and even a giraffe.

 

Raena stares at fly while sitting on the cat scratcher

Come ‘ere fly, just a little closer…

 

 

 

          Yeah, yeah, yeah, Raena. Me ‘members you sittin’ in front of the tv blockin’ everypawdy’s view. The lions did all the huntin’ and the killin’.,,And all the eatin’ too ifin me recalls. MOL  You just chattered on pawin’ at the tv. (The fly zooms past Raena who jumps down and follows it up the liberty cat tree where she loses it for a minute. The she sees it twirling around the ceiling fan and she leans forward looking as tho’ she’s going to leap onto the fan blades) RaenaBelle!!! Don’t you dare jump on the ceiling fan from there. You’ll fall and hurt yourself and mommy’ll have a literal heart attack. Ifin you got all cut up and broken mommy would never furgive you. Besides she hasn’t ordered any of that fauna-care first aid spray. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

I’s not gonna get hurt sissy. I’s indestructable, like that superman. Yeah, I’s RaenaBelle the SuperCat. I’s need a cape to go with mine’s crown. I’s never gonna stop till I’s ketch that fly. And, I’s not gonna get hurt. Mommy’ll make sure that never happens. You know she’s always sayin’ how she’d never let anyone or anythin’ hurt us no matter what. So see? I’s purrfectly safe. 

 

          But Raena, mommy can’t do anythin’ to save ya’ ifin you do somethin’ stupid. 

 

Raena sits on the liberty cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

That’s not nice sissy. You’s better take it back or I’s gonna tell mommy that you called me stupid. 

 

          Me didn’t call you stupid Raena, but it’s beginnin’ to sound like you might be. 

 

Now, where’d that fly go? Come here mine’s purretty, I’s gonna get..Oooooh dinner. Well fly, it’s been fun playin’, but I’s gotta go eat dinner.

 

          Hmmmpht The great huntress that doesn’t stop fur nuffin’ huh? Hey, wait fur me, me’s hungry too.

 

Stay in your own plate sissy. Ya’ know, I’s sure glad I’s don‘t have to hunt fur mine’s own food. That’s a lot of work. Fanky fankfully we’ve got a mommy that fixes our meals fur us. There are so many kitties out there that don’t have a mommy like we do. I’s so wish they all had their own furever homes full of luvs. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, selfie

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me too. Ya’ know, June is Adopt a Shelter Kitty month. Me sure hopes lots of kitties find their furevers. In the meantime, me can’t wait to see which shelter our furiends choose to receive their Cat Amazing Shelter kit. Don’t furget to visit our Blest Sunday posty to nominate your favorite U.S. shelter or rescue and enter to win a Cat Amazing fur yourself.

 

Let’s go eat sissy.
