Chatting Cats: Play Dates, Storms and Updates

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. I’s made it thru another day without mommy. But just barely. And OMC yesfurday was just pawful. 

 

 Dezi lays in chair and looks pretty

 

          What are you meowin’ on ‘bout Raena?

 

 Raena sits on the brown cat tree

 

I’s tellin’ everypawdy ‘bout how pawful yesfurday was sissy. How mommy left us home to go to her ‘pointment with Ms. Navy. I’s just getting’ to the even worst pawrt. You know the Storm?! You was s’posed to be in charge, but you spent most of the day UTB and left me all alone.

 

 

 

          You weren’t all alone, me invited our furiends Alberto and Ollie from Feline Opines to come over and play. Is it me’s fault that the skies decided to storm, and ya’ll didn’t know what to do?

 

Well, I’s guess not. But still, you were s’posed to be in charge. We needed you to play with the wand toy with us. Or help us get the ‘lectric toys down, cuz mommy put them up. 

 

 Raena and Alberto sit on the Liberty Cat Tree

 

          Mommy put the ‘lectric toys up Raena, cuz the batteries are dead and she hasn’t gotten any new ones. Mommy says she thinks the world runs on double and triple A batteries. But there were purrlenty of other toys fur ya’ll to play with, includin’ the cat trees. Can me help it ifin the thunder boomers scared ya’ll off the tree? It wasn’t botherin’ me UTB (under the bed).

 

Those thunder boomers was loud, sissy. Mommy’s s’posed to be here with us, when we have bad weather. Mommy’s s’posed to purrtect us.

 

 Dezi and Raena look outside from their perches near the door.

 

          Yep Raena, me agrees. But sometimes, mommy’s have to do things they don’t necessarily want to do that takes them away from us fur a short time. We’re really blest that we usually get to go with mommy or that she is home with us most of the time. Some of our furiends our left alone everyday while their humans go to work and stuffs.  And besides, we were just as safe as we woulda been ifin mommy had’a been here.

 

Hmmmpht  I’s sure glad mommy doesn’t leave us alone everyday.

 

          Me is too Raena. But it’s purrfectly normal fur peeps to work, or go shoppin’ all without their kitties. And ya’ know what? Those kitties are just fine stayin’ by themselves. 

 

Well sissy, that’s pawsum that so many kitties are fine, but that’s not the way we live. I’s don’t like it when mommy goes somewhere without us. I’s sure hope those days are over. 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on the cat tree and small perch to look out the window and chat

 

          Me too Raena, cuz lissenin’ to you caterwaul at the door gets on me’s nerves. Fankfully, mommy’s ‘pointment yesfurday went well. She wasn’t really aware of how serious this sinus thing was, cuz when the doctor’s office called to confurm her re-check, they said she was on a “Sinus Watch”, and that it was really ‘purrtant she make her re-check ‘pointment. The doctor told mommy that she was healin’ like a teenager. She actually said, “like a fifteen year old”. They all had a good laff, as mommy’s not been a teenager fur a very long time. MOL  Mommy still has to abstain from blowin’ her nose fur another 2 weeks cuz of this sinus thing. ‘Pawrnetly, it’s pawssible fur mommy to blow a hole open into her sinuses that could lead to infection and even death ifin it doesn’t close purropurrly. But the good news is, that she can furinally eat somethin’ besides Malt O Meal and baked smashed taters. She still can’t eat crunchy foods, but soft foods are on the menu goin’ furward. WooHoo  Least till the next round of dental work. MOL

That’s great news sissy. Did you get a whiff of what mommy brought home last night? I’s smelled turkey and bacon in that Arby’s box. 

 

          Me sure did Raena. Me can’t wait fur mommy to take that box outta the fridge and warm it up. Me’s gettin’ the furst bite.

Chatting Cats: Planning A Party & Give Away Winner

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. 

 

 Raena lays on the back of the chair while Dezi looks up at her from the seat of the chair

 

          What are you caterwaulin’ ‘bout now, Raena?

 

I’s not caterwaulin’ sissy. As a matter of fact, I’s asked mommy what caterwaulin’ is and she says, I’s never caterwaul.

 

          Yeah, well, mommy luvs you. And she luvs it when we meow to her, so that’s why she said that. Trust me, you caterwaul.

 

 

Hey, sissy? Nellie asked me ifin I was gonna be a minx like her, when I’s grow up. What’s a minx?

 

 Dezi lays in chair and looks pretty

 

          Uh, well, Uh, You’re too young to be learnin’ ‘bout those things. You just keep havin’ fun on your little play dates and don’t worry ‘bout what you’ll be when ya’ grow up.

 

 

 Raena lays at mommy's feet.

 

But sissy, It’s mine’s furst birthday month. Aren’t I’s grown up?

 

 

          Trust me Raena, you ain’t no where near grown up. There’s purrlenty of time befur you have to make those kinds of decisions. As a matter of fact, me invited Alberto and Oliver of the Feline Opines over fur a play date next week when mommy has to go back to the dental surgeon fur her check up. Maybe we could just have a pawrty?

 

A pawrty? Like mine’s birthday pawrty?

 

 

 

          Not your birthday pawrty, Raena. Mommy wants to be here fur that. But maybe like a purree birthday pawrty. We could invite Shoko and Kali, Snoops and Kommando Kitty, Kosmo, Phenny, and you could ask Simon, and maybe Teddy would like to come. And some of me’s cat scout furiends might wanna come too? And maybe… 

 

We fur sure gotta invite Nellie, sissy. (Raena meows under her breath) I’s gotta find out ‘bout this minx thing.

 

          Of course we’ll invite our dear furiend Nellie. Hmmmmm This is startin’ to look like a birthday pawrty. Maybe we just stick with Alberto and Oliver next week and well get invites out to everypawdy to come over fur your birthday pawrty on Furiday April 21st. 

 

 Raena sits on perch at door and looks up

 

Oh sissy, that would be Pawsum!!! I’s can’t hardly wait. Ya’ reckon everypawdy will come?

 

          Sure they will Raena. (Dezi crosses her paws behind her back and meows under her breath) And ifin they don’t, we’ll still have a good time.

 

Oh sissy, you’re the bestest sissy in the universe. (Raena tries to hug Dezi)

 

 Raena hugs Dezi while she lays on the brown cat tree

 

          Yeah, yeah, okay kit, that’s enuff. Get off me now.

 

Fanky fank you sissy. I’s also wanted to announce the winner of our LumaSoothe give away. Ya’ know it was mine’s furst ever give away, and it was so much fun. I’s wanna do that again. Anyways, the winner is awnty Vicky Denison of the Eastside Cats. We see some happy, purrin’ cats in the very near future.

Chatting Cats: Brighter Days Ahead

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle.

 

 Dezi and Raena look out the front door

 

          Raena, what are you doin’?

 

I’s took a break from lookin’ out the door. Things are really blowin’ ‘round out there. I’s never seen anythin’ like it. Mommy says it’s cuz this is mine’s furst Spring, and there’s nuffin’ quite like Spring.

 

          Well, that’s true. Spring brings warmer weather, wind, storms, and all kinds of new stuffs. 

 

 Raena lays on the Liberty cat tree

 

That warmer weather stuffs is so right, sissy. You know when mommy and me went to her ‘pointment on Monday, it was really hot out. Fank catness we had air conditionin’ in the car. Did you enjoy your alone time?

 

 

 Dezi lays on the Liberty cat tree

 

          Me sure did Raena. Me napped, used the pawdee box without you stalkin’ me, played a little and, well, then me kinda missed you and mommy. Ya’ll were gone longer than me thought you’d be.

 

Yeah, sissy, it did take us longer than mommy had originally thought. You know, an angel, and we know she was an angel, cuz nopawdy knows her or had heard anythin’ ‘bout what she told mommy; and we haven’t been able to find her again. Mommy had called a dentist office to see ‘bout their prices and this angel told mommy to call her case worker and get them to approve her fur emergency assistance to get her teeth fixed. Mommy had never heard of such, and when she called her case worker, she hadn’t either. But eventually mommy got somepawdy that told her Medicaid would pay fur any emergency extraction deemed medically necessary with prior approval. So Monday we headed out to a dentist to see ifin any of mommy’s teeth qualify.

We was runnin’ late cuz mommy accidentally drifted off a few hours minutes in her chair. You know, she was s’posed to stay awake all night. Anyways, I’s danced and chortled till mommy agreed to take me, and we rushed off. As soon as we got outta the complex we ended up behind this guy in a pick up truck that was swervin’ all over the road. Even tho’ it’s illegal to use those cell fones while drivin’, ‘pawrently he just couldn’t wait to chat it up with whoever. It was purretty scary, so mommy kinda just backed off and we followed him till we got to a town with a red light so we could safely get ‘round him. It wasn’t till we got to the office that mommy realized she had furgotten to bring the camera, and her x-rays. Anyways, we were the only ones in the office and the staff was really nice. They didn’t really make googly eyes over me tho’. I’s not know what was wrong with them, but at least they were nice to mommy.

 

Dezi and Raena on the Liberty Cat Tree

Doctor Washington came in and poked ‘round in mommy’s mouth a bit and ordered a panoramic x-ray. We had to go to this room where mommy’s head disappeared into this helmet that went ‘round and ‘round her head. It was purretty cool. It was kinda like the last one she had done, but this time she was sittin’ down. Anyways, after the x-ray, Doctor Washington, said there was 6 teeths that Medicaid would pay fur. The criteria fur them payin’ is that death is immanent ifin said teeth are not removed in a timely manner. Then he told her she’d have to go to Oklahoma City to have them removed cuz no oral surgeons ‘round here take Medicaid. The appointment was made fur next Fursday the 30th. Now mommy has to find a ride. The office requires somepawdy drive mommy to her surgery ‘pointment and wait fur her to get finished.

 

 Dezi lays on the Liberty Cat Tree and looks into the house

 

          Yeah, me knows mommy’s been a little stressed over that one, cuz we don’t have anypawdy who can take her. She’s been callin’ ‘round to all kinds of places tryin’ to hire somepawdy fur that day. Our closest furiends live down ‘round the Dallas/Ft Worth area, or Northern Oklahoma. ‘Course, me would make a shout out to ya’ll; ifin you’d be willin’ to help us out and take mommy, we fur sure would get ya’ some green papers fur your troubles.

 

 Raena sits on perch at door and looks up

 

          We sure would sissy. Anyways, after the dentist visit, mommy decided to take her cans and sell ‘em. The trunk’s been full fur a couple of months now. We made a whole $15.00, so mommy treated me to some bacon. Furst, we stopped off at the Wally World to get mommy some bread and look at the treats. Mommy said they didn’t have any treats we would eat, so we left and stopped at the pet store to get a bag of somethin’. We got a new Ulta store last Christmas, well actually Ardmore got it. Anyways, we walked ‘round in there a bit too. Mommy luvs that beauty stuffs. The peeps there sure were pushy  helpful. They kept tryin’ to get mommy to buy somethin’ help mommy out. “Do you want a bag to place your items in? Can I help ya’ find somethin’?” Mommy kept tellin’ ‘em we was just lookin’, but they kept hoverin’ anyways. When mommy furinally got tired of it, we headed to the mickey D’s to get me some bacon; and headed home.

 

          Well, wha’d ya’ think ‘bout the bacon, Raena?

 

I’s not sure sissy. I’s guess it’s okay, but I’s would rather stick with freeze dried chicky breasts. I’s didn’t know why we didn’t stop at the place that said chicken filets (Chick-fil-A). Anyways, it was a long day, but I’s did enjoy spendin’ time with mommy. But I’s missed you too sissy. I’s was glad to be home.

 

 Dezi gets a LumaSoothe treatment

 

          Me was glad ya’ll were home too. Me got a LumaSoothe treatment and then we had dinner and treats. Dat’s always a great way to end a day. Meowin’ of the LumaSoothe, don’t furget to head on over and enter our give away by clickin’ the Enter Here graphic below.

Fanky fanks fur the reminder sissy. Now let’s link up with Rascal, Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur the Pet Parade and let mommy make some more calls to find her a ride. We can sure use the purrayers of our furiends, so that we can get all this worked out. Havin’ Medicaid pay fur these 6 teeths, means that mommy doesn’t need as much money to get the rest of her teethies fixed. We’d like to remind everypawdy ‘bout the fundraiser here, just in case you wanna donate and/or share. And you can always donate directly to our paypal with our email address: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com.

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle.

 

          (Looking up from her breakfast plate, Dezi meows)

          Raena, ya’ don’t have to ask that every time.

 

I’s do too sissy. What with mommy not feelin’ so good this week, we haven’t gotten to visit our furiends much and they might have furgotten ‘bout us.

 

 Dezi wearing a green irish hat with a leprechaun, 2 pots of gold and clovers

 

          Me doesn’t think they could ever furget you, Raena.

 

Aaaaaaaaaw Fanky fank ya’ sissy…I’s think?.

 

          Did you purractice any of your Irish Raena?

 

Not really sissy. I’s did learn ‘bout leprechauns, rainbows and pots o’ gold tho’. We need to ketch us a leprechaun and force him to give us his pot o’ gold. Can you ‘magine what we could do with all that money?

 

          (Dezi rolls her eyes)

          Oh Raena…Anyways, we need to tell everypawdy ‘bout the Taste of Wild canned noms we got to try this month.

 Taste of the wild canned cat food

 

 

Taste of the wild canned food on a plate

It’s got peas in it mommy.

 

It’s mine’s turn to give the review Dezi. We’re so honored to be #ChewyInfluencers and luv tryin’ out new things every month. As you were sayin’, we got a case (24, 3 oz) of the Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline formula canned food to try out. Let’s check out what Chewy says ‘bout the ingredients and key benfits.

 

Key Benefits

  • Grain-free diet with real salmon, chicken liver and roasted venison

  • Supplemented with vegetables and fruits, this formula delivers antioxidants to help give your furry friend a healthy lifestyle

  • A great-tasting complement to the Rocky Mountain Feline dry formula, or a stand-alone diet for your special cat

  • Perfect combination of animal proteins will provide your cat with ideal protein nutrition for a lean body and optimal amino acid nutrition

  • Lowers carbohydrate intake and increases water intake, both important features in feline nutrition

Ingredients

  1. Salmon, Fish Broth, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Chicken, Dried Egg Whites, Potato Starch, Pea Flour, Smoked Salmon, Roasted Venison, Peas, Ocean Fish, Guar Gum, Natural Flavor, Sunflower Oil, Sodium Phosphate, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Inulin, Tomatoes, Blueberries, Raspberries, Taurine, Dl-Methionine, Choline Chloride, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Vitamin E Supplement, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Sodium Selenite, Niacin Supplement, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Potassium Iodide, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid.

Caloric Content

  1. 975 kcal/kg, 149 kcal/5.5 oz can

    1. 957 kcal/kg, 81 kcal/3 oz can

 

 

The Taste of the Wild comes in 2 formulas fur us kitties, The Rocky Mountain that we tried and the Canyon River with trout and salmon. As you can see by the ingredient list, salmon is the number 1 ingredient. However, the food doesn’t have a strong fishy smell. The can states the contents are bites in gravy. Mommy says when she opened the can she didn’t see any of that gravy the can stated. But she does add water or broth to most everything we eat, so she was able to thin out the little bit of “gravy” and make some. She could visually see 3 peas and 1 carrot piece in the food. She says she was a little surprised to see the carrot as it’s not listed as an ingredient. That bein’ said, there aren’t any of those questionable ingredients in this food. It is grain free, and the can states “new great taste, pets will love”. So, let’s take a look at the taste testin’.

I’s took a good sniff and then another. I’s went in fur the bite and noticed mommy had furgot to remove the pea from mine’s servin’. I’s meowed a complaint and mommy removed said pea and offered the plate to me again. I’s took another sniff and stuck mine’s tongue out. And then I looked back at mommy and began to try to cover up the plate. Mommy hollered fur me to quit puttin’ our toys in the food. But hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do, right? Right. Sissy? Ya’ wanna tell everypawdy what you thought?

          Fanks Raena. Me too had a few sniffs and even licked the gravy once. And then me walked away. Taste of the Wild has great ingredients, so me has to give it at least 1 paw up fur that. Just cuz we don’t like it doesn’t mean all kitties won’t. Fur sure ifin you (your kitty) likes fish, and morsels ‘stead of pate’, ya’ (they) might just luv this.

 

 Raena dressed like a leprechaun covers her food

I’s’ll just cover this up here. Looks like mommy furgot da pea again.

 

Fanky fank ya’ sissy. You’re so right. Us kitties can be finicky, but we know quite a few that would just luv the Taste of the Wild. And cuz of that, I’s give ‘em a paw up too. There’s somethin’ else we’d like to point out. Mommy hates it when she’s lookin’ fur a new food and there’s no foto of the actual contents of the can or bag. We know this bothers other pet pawrents too, so we always try to take a foto of the contents so you’ll know ahead of time, what you’re gettin’. Ya’ know what else? They also have noms fur the doggies.
