Chatting Cats: Our Christmas Wish

Hey, Is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s finally that time. The time when sissy and me get to write our letters askin’ the big guy to make our Christmas dreams and wishes come true. Sissy said I’s could go furst. 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on the floor together

 

 

 

          Yeah right. You were bein’ a pain and mommy said me should be the big girl and let the baby get her way.

 

Nuh Uh She did not sissy. (Raena starts to pout

 

          Oh Raena. Me’s sorry. Look’it, It’s Christmas. We shouldn’t be fightin’. Just look around you. See how Blest we are? Just ‘member that when you start makin’ wishes and plannin’ dreams. Besides, mommy said we could write our letters together.

Oh sissy, I’s could never furget how blest we are. In fact, I’s been thinkin’…You’ve been writin’ letters to the man in the red suit fur a few years now. And it seems the shelters ain’t any emptier today than when you started.

 

 Dezi lays in the cat bed

 

 

 

          Well Raena, mommy says it’s not always easy to find homes fur kitties and doggies and that Santa’s job is really more ‘bout bringin’ toys and things. Ya’ know, he’s not really in the furever home findin’ business. 

 

Exxxxxxxx-actly sissy. That’s why I’s thinkin’ we’re askin’ the wrong purrson. It seems, when you and mommy needed to find me ya’ll were askin’ God, not some man in a red suit or any other colored suit fur that matter. Mommy says it’s always bestest to go to the source of all when you have a need. So, I’s decided we need to write us a letter to God.

 

 Raena sits atop cat tree-praying

 

 

 

Dear God,

RaenaBelle here. And Dezi too. We’s just wanna say fank You so very much fur sendin’ mommy to save us. We were so scared, and even befur we knew how to purray, You were lookin’ out fur us.

 Mommy says You do that. She says You know everythin’ cuz You created everythin’. She says when You finished creating the world and all that’s in it, You thought it was good. I’s know it must break Your heart to see Your creation in the state it’s in now. I’s know how it must hurt to see how peeps treat other peeps and how some of them treat the anipals You gave them to luvs. I’s also know that You know good peeps that really need the luvs of a furry cuz you know mine’s mommy and sent her mine’s way. You also sent her to sis Dezi and all those what came befur. So, Lord, I’s askin’, purrlease find luvvin’ peeps fur the anipals who need ‘em. It’s just not fair that they should have to live and die without knowin’ luvs. What a sad life that must be. I’s grateful fur all the rescue peeps out there, but there’s nuffin’ quite like a home of your own with your own mommy or daddy.

 

 Dezi prays

 

 

 

          That’s the truth Lord. But, we do ask that You help purrvide fur all those that save lives every day. And Lord, fur all those soldiers off purrtectin’ our country and those that can’t purrtect themselves, we ask that You keep them safe and in Your luvvin’ arms and let them know You’re there. Me knows they must sometimes wonder when they’re surrounded by such horrors. And God, bring them back home safe and sound to their families. Lord give our President and the rest of our government leaders wisdom. Make them good stewards and to think furst of who they serve. And God, we have so many furiends who are sick in body and really need a healing touch. And so many who face turmoil each and every day. Lord, bring them comfurt and peace.

 

 And Father God, there are so many who have basic needs every day that they can’t meet fur whatever reason. We ask that You purrvide according to Your riches in glory. God, I’s still young and don’t know how this world works, but mommy tells us every day that You can meet every need and that You have us all in the palm of Your hand. She says, all we need is a little faith. So I’s believe You can help to make this world a better place fur all Your creations.

 

And Lord, we ask that You keep Your hands on mommy. She luvs us so much that she’s tryin’ her bestest to make some green papers to take better care of us. Lord, we ask that You heal her leg. The one she cut up in that fall the furst day she was gettin’ ready to leave fur work. Make it stop bleedin’ and not get infected and heal up. Help her not to pass out anymore, it’s just not safe out there fur her to fall on the ground. Give her the strength to carry on and bring her home to us each day, safe and sound.

Lord, we really have all we could have ever asked fur. You gave us a luvvin’ mommy that guaranteed us furever. So it really is our purrayer that You would grant the dreams and wishes of our furiends. And purrlease take care of all those anipals who thru no fault of their own are now livin’ outside and not sociable enuff to live in a home. Send someone to take care of them while they’re here. Lord, we thank You fur all the blessings You bestow on us each and every day. We thank You fur all our furiends and their families and ask that You bless each of them. We thank You fur our lives and fur meeting every need. We ask and purray these things in Jesus name believing…Amen.

 

 The Blessing Train

 

 

We really do purray each and every day fur all these things, and all of you. Today is the last day of our 12 Days of Blessings Blessing Train. So, the Blessin’ we’re celebratin’ today is…Freedom. We are so truly blest to live in a country where we are free to speak our minds and worship in our own way, just to name a few of those freedoms. We’re also fankful that Annie and Pierrot and Valentine hopped on the Blessing train too. Guess our train didn’t get as long as we would have liked, but that’s okay, we’re still really blest.

 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Life Is A Blessing

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s been really crazy ‘round here this week. Well, at least fur mommy. I’s been takin’ a lot of naps. I’s get tired watchin’ mommy run ‘round like a chicken with her head cut off. 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on floor watching each other

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle!!! That’s not very nice. 

 

Maybe not sissy, but you know it’s the truth. We’ve not been able to visit our furiends and meow at ‘em.  Nor have we gotten to go out and look at all the Christmas lights. And we fur sure haven’t even got to write our letters to that Santa Paws guy yet. I’s thinkin’ mommy’s too busy. We need to teach her how to relax.

 

 

 Dezi and Raena sitting on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          You may be right Raena, but me doesn’t think anypawdy could teach mommy to relax. Ya’ know a doctor told her once that she was missin’ the relax gene. Anyways, mommy said we could write our letters next week and there’d be purrlenty of time. We’ve got to get our Christmas cards out this weekend. And, since we can’t go to the nursin’ home this year, we’re thinkin’ ‘bout makin’ a carolin’ video fur our bloggy. Ifin mommy can figger it all out that is.

 

I’s have faith she will, sissy. After all, isn’t that what this season’s all ‘bout…Faith? 

 

          Partly Raena. But that’s good enuff. Me will have faith with ya’. Me knows we’ve got some great reviews comin’ up fur everypawdy. We’re gonna even let mommy tell peeps ‘bout our new spaceship next week. 

 

 Raena sits atop the Liberty Cat tree looking curious

 

 

 

Spaceship! What spaceship? 

 

          Ya’ know, PB, our new pawtty box. 

 

Oh Cool. I’s luvs PB, don’t you?  

 

 The Blessing Train

 

 

 

          Save it fur the review Raena. In the meantime, we’ve got another Blessin’ fur the Blessing Train and our 12 Days of Blessings. Altho’ it’s turned cold and mostly dismal outside, the sun still shines down upon us. We’ve been given another day to live and spread joy. Every breath we take is the Blessing of life. One fur which we are most grateful. Havin’ such scary and unsure beginnings, we have been Blest with a most wonderful life.

 

 Raena draped on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

You’re so right sissy. Life’s not always purrfect, and we don’t always have everythin’ we want. But, we have everythin’ we need. We hope you all will jump on the Blessing Train with us and share your Blessings this holiday season. We purromiss to be ‘round to visit as soon as we can. Mommy’s purromissed to get unbusy and help us soon.

 

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

Chatting Cats: The World Stopped Spinning So We’re Back

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Sissy, c’mon, the world’s stopped spinnin’ and we can load our site again.

 

 Dezi sits pretty in the hall behind my chair

 

 

 

          Are you sure? Me’s so tired of waitin’ fur the pages to load. Mommy says it’s cuz we live so far out and the innernet peeps haven’t upgraded the wirin’ ‘round here in like, furEVER. 

 

Raena sits pretty and poses on top of the Litter Robot boxThis box is huge, mommy.

 

 

I’s sure sissy. I’s already checked. What did you think ‘bout that big box we got delivered yesfurday?  

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree

 

 

          The box is great Raena. It’s what was in the box that me’s not so sure ‘bout. Mommy says we have to use it cuz we’re s’posed to write a review. 

 

 Raena lays on litter robot box

 

 

 

Yeah sissy, but I’s think it’s ‘bout more than just writin’ a review. Mommy seems really x’cited ‘bout it and says it’s gonna be a big help to her. Anyways, I’s just glad we can get back on the catputer. We’ve not been able to visit our furiends fur days. ‘Course, that did give mommy some time to clean the house. You know we’re havin’ a play date soon and we wanna make a good impurr-sion.

 

 Dezi sits with back to camera

Hmmmmm let’s see, where are we gonna put that thing?

 

 

 

          Yep Raena, me can’t wait. It’s gonna be so much fun. We haven’t had a play date in so long. By the way, did you hear mommy on the fone last night with Ms. A, Nub’s mommy? 

 

 Nubs the black and white manx cat looks at the camera

Bye Nubs. RIP

 

 

 

I’s did sissy. It’s so sad. We hadn’t been over to see him in a couple of weeks. Mommy had said we were gonna take him some special treats this week and then this happens. Ya’ know, Ms. A ended up with Nubs after his person died and nopawdy wanted him. We just can’t ‘magine what it must have been like fur him. Mommy says that’s why it’s so ‘purrtant to make plans fur us fur babies in the event we happen to outlive our peeps. Unfurtunately fur Nubs, he went to heaven on Monday. Ms. A had been at her daughters house, and when she got home, Nubs was layin’ in the kitchen almost dead. He died in Ms. A’s arms on the way to the V-E-T. 

 

          It’s really sad, Raena. but, at least he knew luv befur he left this world. 

 

He also knew the joy of a Yeowww nip nanner since we shared one with him. 

 

 Dezi plays with her new birthday nip nana

 

 

 

 

 

          Then ya’ know he was a happy kitty. Anyways, ‘nuff sad stuffs. Ya’ know, Christmas is comin’ up really soon. Me can’t wait fur mommy to put up our tree so we can watch all the lights. You know, you’re gonna have to leave the decorations alone. The tree baubles aren’t toys.

 

Raena plays with the Yeowww nip nana

 

 

Me?!!! What ‘bout you, sissy? I’s seem to ‘member it was you that mommy had to get on to last year.

 

          That’s not true and you know it. Me thought you didn’t ‘member anythin’ ‘bout your furst Christmas?

 

 Raena plays in the gift bag paper

 

 

 

How could I’s pawssubly furget somethin’ like Christmas, sissy? We got lots of purresents from our Angel furiends. And, we got to go visit and sing carols to the peeps in what mommy called an old folks home. I’s can’t wait to do that again. We are gonna do it again, aren’t we sissy? 

 

 Dezi getting love while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Mommy says some of the rules have changed. But, she’s gonna call and ask ifin we can come again this year. Me just luvs all the lights and decorations this time of year brings ‘bout. And peeps seem to act a little nicer too.

 

 Raena sits on bed beside chair, profile

 

 

 

That’s nice sissy. I’s wish peeps would be nicer all the time. Maybe our world wouldn’t be so full of hate.  Ya’ know, we better get busy visitin’ our furiends, and helpin’ mommy clean up fur our play date. I’s’ll race ya’ to the new box.

 

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

Blest Sunday: Bouncy Backs, Blowing Leaves & Gratitude

Raena, where are you? It’s time to write our Blest Sunday posty.

 

 Raena sits in amazon box

 

 

          I’s playin’ sissy. Did you see me the other day when I’s played bouncy on mommy’s back?

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree shelf looking inside, while Raena lays atop the cat tree, looking out.

 

 

Yeah Raena, me saw it. Me doesn’t think mommy thought it was very much fun tho’. Whatever made you do that in the furst place? 

 

 Raena lays in house on liberty cat tree

 

 

          Well sissy, ya’ know when mommy sat down on the human potty, she just happened to see somethin’ scurry across the floor. It was the teeniest biggest ginormous hairy spider ever. Let me tell ya’, that sucker was flat movin’ too. Without meowin’ all of mommy’s business, let’s just say, she couldn’t zactly get up and stomp on that teeny ginormous intruder. So, mommy bent over, took off her shoe and stretched her arm out to whack it. I’s quickly assessed the ‘sitch and decided that mommy’s back looked like too much fun not to take advantage of. Besides, mommy already had the spider, and it wasn’t like she was gonna let me play with it anyways. And, bent over and stretched out like that, made her muscles ripple and bounce. So, I’s jumped on mommy’s back and held on fur dear life. What a ride!!! Well till mommy let out a scream that is. I’s don’t know why she hollered like that. I’s almost lost mine’s balance till I’s dug into her neck. Mommy hollered at me and told me the furee ride was over and to get down. Oh well, She quit movin’ ‘round so it wasn’t really fun anymore.

 

 Dezi and Raena lay together on the floor

 

 

Me’s not sure mommy ever thought your claws diggin’ into her back was fun Raena. Me’s guessin’ that’s the reason we got a claw clippin’ last night. 

 

          Ya’ reckon, sissy? I’s hate claw clippin’ time. I’s don’t know why mommy can’t just let our claws grow like they wanna?.

 

Well Raena, me doesn’t like claw clippin’ either, but, mommy says clippin’ is necessary to keep ‘em from growin’ into our paw pads or ketchin’ on everythin’. And me can tell ya’ ketchin’ your claws on the cawrpet ain’t no fun at all. Me guesses mommy’s right. Sometimes ya’ have to do things you don’t like fur your own good. Just don’t let her know me said that. She’d ‘spect me to stop fightin’ at claw clippin’ time. 

 

 Leaf Blower

 

Leaves being blown from porch
Leaves being blow off porch by mommy A

 

 

 

          That may be true sissy, but I’s still don’t like it. Anyways, did you see what happened the day after mommy blew all the leaves off the purrch? 

 

Clean porch after blowing all leaves off
Almost all the leaves are gone after mommy’s leaf blowing adventure

Oh Raena, mommy was so furustrated. There’ she’d dragged the leaf blower out and spent all that time blowin’ leaves everywhere but our purrch. And, the next meownin’, Mr. Whirrly Wind came thru and blew twice as many as befur back onto the purrch.

 

 

Leaves piled up on porch
The leaves are back

 

 

          Yep sissy, the mailman came to the door to drop off a package; and when mommy opened the door, leaves blew in all over the place. It was so windy, mommy couldn’t even get the leaves back outside. I’s will say, I’s just luvs the leaf blower. Mommy wields that thing better than any ole Mother Nature wind storm. 

 

Gift of Primal Freeze Dried Chicken, Rabbit and Duck sent by Vonda

 

 

Yeah Raena, mommy is getting’ better at it. You should’a seen her the furst few times. Me thinks she made more of a mess than we had befur. Least now, she can get ‘er done without bein’ covered in dirt and mud when she finishes. 

 

 Dezi and Raena check out the Primal Freeze Dried cat food sent by Vonda

 

 

          What did you think of the surpurrise we got sissy? 

 

Dezi sniffs the bag of Primal freeze dried rabbit sent by VondaMmmmmmmmmmm Rabbit, me’s favorite.

 

 

The one from awnty Vonda? Me luvved it. We can never have too many bags of noms, that’s fur sure. She was so sweet to send ‘em to us. Hopefully, it means we won’t ever run outta food again. She even sent an extra bag of the Primal Duck fur me’s Gotchaday. Fank you sooooooooooooooo much awnty Vonda. We really purreciate ya’ and the noms.

 

 Raena sniffs the Primal Freeze dried Rabbit food while Dezi looks on, sent by Vonda

Mmmmmmmmmmmm I’s smell Rabbit.

 

 

 

          Sure ‘nuff sissy. Fanky fank ya’ awnty Vonda. I’s saw a giant bag of our favorite, Primal freeze dried Rabbit. We’re also very fanky fankful to awnty Donna. She sent mommy green papers to register our car. I’s don’t know why we have to register it, and mommy gets so angry that the State charges so much, but, we’re grateful to be legal again fur another year.

 

 Dezi's face close up, selfie

 

 

Yeah Raena, mommy says you’d think we’d have the bestest roads in da U.S. with what they charge. But alas, Oklahoma roads are pawful. Anyways, we are so very blest to have furiends who luv us and help us out when they can. We are blest to have a luvvin’ mommy, a roof over our heads, a bed to sleep in and toys galore. We are blest to be a pawrt of a community of cat luvvers who care ‘bout each other and suppurrt each other. We are so grateful fur all our furiends. We can’t ‘magine a life without all of you. We are Blest!!! And as always, we wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. 

 

Raena lays on cat tree looking towards the chair

 

 

          We also wanna link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We do luvs posin’ fur fotos. (Raena sees something outside and runs to the cat tree to look further) Did you see that sissy? C’mon, let’s go see what it is.
