Chatting Cats: No Room in the Truck

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. You’re never gonna believe what mommy did yesfurday. I’s sure couldn’t, and I’s think sis Dezi was just as confused as me. 

 

 Dezi site on the Liberty cat tree house, looking out the window with her mouth open

 

          RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ on ‘bout? 

 

 Raena a bit distorted

 

Mommy’s doctor’s ‘pointment. You know, I’s just got mines new harness so I’s could be stylin’ when we went out. And then mommy went and left me here yesfurday while O took her to the doctor. Everypawdy missed out on seein’ me and makin’ googly eyes over me. 

 

 Raena poses on the Liberty cat tree in her tiger harness

 

          Yep Raena, and me missed out on me’s alone time. That time when me can relax and not have to worry ‘bout you jumpin’ on me or inneruptin’ mes nap. She said somethin’ ‘bout there not bein’ enuff room in O’s truck.

 

Well, he needs to get another truck that does have room. Ya’ know, mommy’s sick and she might have needed me. 

 

 Dezi checks out Raena in her new tiger harness

 

          Me agrees Raena, but ya’ can’t make somepawdy buy another car/truck just so we can go. Mommy says cars/trucks be really ‘spensive. Besides, O be a human, and altho’ he can’t alert mommy, he should be able to take care of her ifin she does pass out. And, altho’ we’re sad that the tooth infection finally made mommy sick with the new-moan-ya and sinus infection, at least now she got some antibiotics.

 

 Raena plays with the yeowww rainbow in her tiger harness

 

I’s know you’re right sissy, but still, I’s wanted to go with mommy and show off mines new duds. I’s am happy that mommy got some antibiotics tho’. I’s hope they make everythin’ all better, least fur a little while. 

 

          Me too Raena, me too. And don’t worry, there’ll be purrlenty of time fur you to show off your new duds. O won’t be takin’ mommy everywhere, so there’ll be lots of times when we’ll still be needed to go with mommy. And you know she needs us all day every day here at home. 

 

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

 

I’s know sissy, but it’s just not the same. I’s was so upset and missed mommy so much, I’s sat at the door callin’ fur her the whole time she was gone. You know, I’s don’t even like mommy to go and check the mail without me. 

 

          Me knows Raena. You’ve sure got a set of lungs on ya’. Me bets everypawdy fur miles could hear you yowlin’ fur mommy.

 

Soooooooo. You do it too sissy. Just cuz you ain’t sittin’ at the front door, doesn’t mean peeps don’t hear you too. 

 

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

 

          Me didn’t say they didn’t Raena. Me just doesn’t yowl the whole time. Me knows mommy will come home to us. She would never leave us. Mommy luvs us more than anythin’ Raena. Me knows she would’a luvved to take you with her, there just wasn’t any room in the truck. Maybe durin’ these warmer days, we can talk mommy into takin’ us up town. We’ll just have to wait till she’s feelin’ a little better. 

 

That sounds like a great idea sissy. Let’s go give mommy some massages and make her feel better faster. (shakes head and mumbles) No room in the truck…hmppht.

          You go ahead Raena. Me’s gonna link up with Rascal, Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur the weekly Pet Parade furst. We hope everypawdy has a great weekend.

How High Can Cats Jump

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s got so much to tell ya’, I’s don’t even know where to start.

 

 Dezi lays in the wheelchair while Raena meows t her from the top of the stroller.

 

          Calm down Raena. Ya’ don’t have to say everythin’ today.

 

 

But Dezi, I’s wanna tell everypawdy ‘bout mommy’s helper and mines new game. Mommy says she’s so purroud of me.

 

 Dezi lays on the Liberty cat tree

          What? Me thinks you’ve got things mixed up Raena. Mommy’s purroud of how your trainin’ is goin’, not your new game.

 

Raena lays in mommys lap for loving

Oh Dezi, just cuz she doesn’t say it doesn’t mean she ain’t purroud of me. Did you see her face this meownin’ when I’s jump straight up in da air and hit da ceilin’? 

 

 

          Yep Raena, me saw it. And ifin you think that was purride, you hit your head too hard. Cuz that’s what mommy was thinkin’. You know how much she worries ‘bout us. And every time you go slidin’ across the floor and hit the wall, mommy cringes. When she picks you up and starts rubbin’ ya’ all over, it ain’t luv rubs Raena, she’s checkin’ fur broken bones. 

 

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

 

Oh sissy, you’re such a furry fuddy duddy. I’s bet you played the slide game too when you were little.

 

          That’s the thing Raena, you ain’t “little” anymore. And when you hit the walls, it makes a really loud thud. Just like when you jumped up this meownin’ and hit your head on the ceilin’. Ya’ know, scrunchin’ yourself up into a ball and jumpin’ straight up in the air might be amazin’, but what’s the purrpuss? What are you tryin’ to do? 

 

I’s just havin’ fun sissy. Ya’ know, I’s looked it up, and us kitties are said to be able to jump, 6 to 7 times our body length. That would mean I’s could jump higher than our ceilin’; but cuz it’s there, I’s’ll never really know. I’s was knockin’ the magnets off the fridge, but mommy didn’t seem to like that much. So I’s just decided to see how high I’s could jump.

 

 Dezi sits on the brown cat tree in her signature pose

 

          Well, now ya’ know. You’re not a jack in the box, and mommy hates it when you hit your head, so ya’ reckon you can stop now? 

 

I’s don’t know sissy, it’s so much fun. And no, there’s no fotos yet. Mommy worries too much to think ’bout gettin’ the camera. Anyways, I’s wanna tell everypawdy ‘bout mommy’s helper. Furst, we all wanna say fanky fank ya’ fur all your purrayers and good thoughts. But we did get a little giggle when we would read your comments ‘bout our helper. Ya’ might not have noticed, but when we talked ‘bout ‘em, we used words like, helper, worker, they, them, and so on. Most all of ya’ referred to them as she, her, lady and such.

 

 Raena lays atop the Liberty Cat tree

You’re doin’ a good job O. Need some help?

 

 

Well, the worker mommy hired is a him. Yep, we’ll just call him O. He’s a young’un at 20 years old. But he has a 3 year old son and girly furiend that he lives with. He has Rotty doggies what just had puppies. Yeah, we’re gonna have to work on that one. I’s got good vibes the day he came out and applied fur the job. Sis Dezi didn’t really meet him that day, she was nappin’. But she met him the day he started workin’ fur us. 

 

 

          Me thought O seemed like a purretty nice young man too. He doesn’t know a lot ‘bout kitties, but he seems to like us too. We told ya’ how pawsumly he cleaned our Liberty cat tree. And the next work day he got all the tracked litter cleaned up in the pawdee box room. The whole pawdee box room got a spic and span shine cleanin’. Me was so impurressed me had to go and check it out. He didn’t seem to mind me checkin’ his work and layin’ in the fureshly cleaned sink, so that’s a good start. 

 

Raena looks over from atop the Liberty Cat tree

Wha’cha’ doin’? I’s can dust too.

 

I’s didn’t wait till he was finished sissy. I’s followed him ‘round, just in case he might need some help. We had a blast yesfurday playin’ in the boxes. He was doin’ some dustin’ and tossin’ old magazines and I’s was jumpin’ from pile to pile to pile and box to trash box. I’s made sure none of our toys got thrown in the trash box by mistake. All in all, we really like him and hope it works out and he keeps comin’ to work. But he was a little upset when he left yesfurday cuz he doesn’t really unnerstand the pay schedule.

 

Raena looks out at the worker from atop the Liberty Cat tree

I’s think ya’ missed a spot. I’s gettin’ purretty tired now, ya’ reckon

you’re gonna need mines help?

 

He’ll get paid every two weeks. His furst day was actually the day the time period ended, so his furst check’s gonna be fur one day of work. The next time period will be fur the full two weeks and so on. Fur some reason, he seems to think he’s gonna work fur a whole month and a half befur he ever gets a check. We tried to ‘splain that’s not true, but he was confused and sure it is. It’s been so long since mommy worked, she doesn’t recall the specifics, so ifin anypawdy can ‘splain it better shoot us an email. In da meantime, help us purray that he doesn’t give up and quit.

 

 Raena sleeps atop the Liberty cat tree

I’s just gonna close mines eyes fur a bit O. Ifin ya’ need

mines help, just holler.

 

 

Mommy says young’uns aren’t taught job hunting skills and pay rates and time tables anymore. They get thrown in to the work force with very little knowledge of how it all works. They’re so used to immediate gratification, that they get easily frustrated. It’s unfurtunate that kids today don’t know how to dress fur interviews, write resumes and be respawnsible and reliable. Mommy ‘members a time when she was applyin’ fur a waitressin’ job. She showed up in a purrfessional skirt and top, resume’ in hand. The manager was so impurressed, he gave mommy the assistant managers job instead. She wasn’t qualified at that time, but she quickly learned. And she got that oppurrtunity cuz she had been taught job huntin’ skills in high school. Anyways, we hope it works out with O, cuz we do really like him; and we’ve got an inspection comin’ up next week.

Who’s Playing in the Garden Now

Hey, are ya’ll out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Did ya’ furget us? We kinda fell off the planet fur a few days and didn’t tell anypawdy, didn’t we?. And look’it, I’s getting to write all the postys this week.

 Dezi and Raena chat while laying on the chair

          Getting to Raena? Hmmmmpht  You jumped on me and ran to mommy furst.

 

Yeah, well, I’s still writing today’s posty. Right?

 

 
We’ll see. Depends on what you wanna say.

 

 Raena sits at mommys feet and bathes

I’s thought we needed to ‘pawlogize fur disappearing like that. A couple awnties sent emails checkin’ in on us, and we really did purreciate that. Things just got to be a little too much fur mommy and she just kinda shut down. Ya’ know havin’ (on top of the regular pains and purroblems) an infected mouth and all that pain constantly can sometimes make ya’ not be able to think. And thinkin’ she could lose the benefits she has that make it so she can hire somepawdy to help her, was really stressful. We had several peeps come by and fill out applications to help mommy, and we’ve got our paws crossed that one of them works out.

 

Dezi lays in the wheelchair while Raena meows t her from the top of the stroller.

          Raena, ya’ need to ‘splain that the DHS nurse told mommy to keep trying to hire somepawdy till they made a final determination.

 

 Raena lays at mommys feet and bathes

You just did sissy. Anyways, the DHS nurse called mommy yesfurday and told her she could keep her benefits fur now. and urged her to get somepawdy in here to help her. Ya’ know, kinda like mommy wasn’t tryin’. You can’t make somepawdy work that doesn’t wanna. The work ethics of peeps these days is just pawful. She also said she worried ‘bout mommy bein’ depressed and all. And wished she had some kinda support or at least somepawdy to talk too. Mommy told her fanky fanks but not to worry, she has us and we have ya’ll.

 

Raena oversees the AeroGarden

Anyways, I’s wanted to talk ‘bout somethin’ else today. You all know how sis Dezi’s always meowin’ on ‘bout how I’s messin’ with the new AeroGarden. Well, You should see her with the garden. Ya’ know we got a few sprouts last week and mommy removed those cool caps. No, she didn’t let me have them. She said she was savin’ them to use again. Anyways, that’s not the point. But those caps sure do scoot across the floor well. And they’re just the right size fur carryin’ in one’s mouth. Again, I’s getting’ off track. Let me tell ya’ ‘bout sis Dezi and the AeroGarden.

 

 Dezi poses by the AeroGarden

Ifin ya’ don’t know, Dill is an herb that grows really tall, really fast and has feathery leaves. Mommy says she doesn’t know many uses fur dill outside of pickles, which she doesn’t like, but it makes a purretty plant. And of course it’s feathery leaves was just too much temptation fur sis Dezi.

 

 Dezi checking on the aerogarden

          Was Not, Raena!!! Me was just checkin’ on the purrogress of everything.

 

 Dezi munching on the dill plant

Yeah, right. Is that what you call takin’ a bite outta mommys’ herbs? 

 

 Dezi munching on the dill plant

 

 

 Dezi licking lips after tasting the dill plant

          Well what about you runnin’ off with the whole pod? At least what me did didn’t hurt anythin’. After all, mommy said she was ‘posed to purrune them as they grew so they’d get bigger and floofier. All me did was give the dill a bit of purrunin’. Altho’ me doesn’t think me’ll be doin’ that again, least not any time soon. It doesn’t taste very good. Now me knows why mommy doesn’t like pickles. Me doesn’t either. Well, except maybe one of those tickle pickles mes seen ‘round the blogosphere. Me might like one filled with nip. 

 

 Dezi sitting beside the AeroGarden

A nip pickle? I’s want a nip pickle, sissy. Where’s the nip pickle?

 

 Dezi lays on the back of the chair

          We don’t have one Raena. Have you already furgotten all the pawsum toys we got fur Christmas?

 

 Raena plays with Christmas toys

Oh no sissy. I’s luvs all the toys we got fur Christmas, and your Meowday. I’s just thought you meant mommy was growin’ nip pickles in her garden.

 

          Yeah, right. Altho’ mommy did say that when she gets some lettuce she would start us a pod of grass too. At least we’ll get somethin’.

 

When’s this gonna happen sissy? 

 

          Soon Raena, soon. We need to wrap it up now so we can try to get ‘round and visit our furiends.

Tower of Tracks #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s so excited. I’s luvs Christmas. But we’ll tell ya’ more ‘bout dat Sunday. Today, I’s gonna get to write our very last Chewy review. Yep, da last one…of 2016 dat is. MOL  Did I’s get ya’? We didn’t receive our item till da day befur Christmas, so mommy decided to just save it and put it under da tree fur us. We ended up gettin’ so many pawsum gifts dat mommy waited yet another day befur givin’ it to us. Knowing how much we luv our track and ball toys, mommy got us da Pet Stages Tower of Tracks to review.

Disclaimer: We received compensation in exchange for our honest review of the PetStages Tower of Tracks 10” cat toy. As always neither Chewy nor PetStages are responsible for the content of this post unless otherwise stated. We only bring you products we use or have tried and believe would be of interest to you our readers and friends. And we always tell it like it is.

 

PetStages Tower of Tracks

So, let me tell ya’ a little ‘bout da Tower of Tracks. Maybe da most obvious is dat it’s bright orange and made of shiny plastic. Da Tower of Tracks is 10” wide and 5” tall and has 3 levels with a ball on each level. Each ball is lightweight, made of a thin plastic and sammiched ‘tween another row/level. Each level gets smaller in diameter as you go up. There’s a plastic “bar” on da top dat closes off da hole. It doesn’t move or have any function fur da toy itself, other than to keep kittys head from gettin’ stuck. And trust me, I’s tried fittin’ mines head in there, and it just doesn’t fit. So I’s guess da bar’s doin’ it’s job. Chewy lists da Key Benefits as these:  

Key Benefits

  • Durable toy consisting of three levels of exciting play, each level includes its own circular track and ball

  • Non-skid pads keep track from sliding around as cats bat and play

  • Spinning and rotating action of the balls entices cats to play

  • Great fun for a single cat or multiple cats

  • Measures 10″ diameter x 5″ high

Dezi and Raena check out the Tower of Tracks

 

I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s luvs me a good track toy. I’s like to get all 3 balls zoomin’ ‘round and ‘round. I’s haven’t yet figgered out how to get those balls off their tracks, but give me some time, I’s’ll find a way. MOL  All things considered, I’s give da PetStages Tower of Tracks 4 paws up. Dezi, do you wanna tell everypawdy what you think?

 Dezi checks out the Tower of Tracks

          Sure Raena, fanks. Me luvs track toys too, and this one is purretty cool. There’s no place fur catnip, but it’s small enuff fur me to lay down and reach all da sides to whirl da balls ‘round. Me thinks it makes a great toy fur a kitten or small kitty, but ifin me pushes da balls too hard, it falls over. Raena, still bein’ a kitten, really likes it; and it can keep her occupied fur a whole 10 minutes. Fur dat reason alone me gives it 2 paws up. Da PetStages Tower of Tracks is on sale right now fur $9.79. Mommy, what do you think bout da Tower of Tracks?

 Dezi and Raena play with the Tower of Tracks

     Thank you girls. Well, as Raena said, the Tower of Tracks is made of a thin plastic. And as Dezi said, it’s pretty small. Having recently fallen and broken one of the girls track toys, I can say that this track toy would have shattered and made a huge mess. But, it does keep Raena occupied for short spurts. Anything that can do that, deserves a thumb up. lol  Even at less than $10.00, I think it’s still a little overpriced. But if you have kittens, you’ll pay almost anything for a few minutes of peace. lol So again, 1 thumb up from me.
