Chatting Cats: Ain’t No Grumps Here

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s not likin’ the way things are goin’ ‘round here. I’s mean, it’s like mommy done furgot all ‘bout our nightly cuddle time, and I’s can’t ‘member the last time I’s had a treat. What’s up with that? I’s know I’s not that in to treats and all, but still…it’d be nice to be offured a couple every now and then. And Kittens!!!! Mine’s eye is really botherin’ me. Everytime I’s look up it’s gone and got all gooey again. And then mommy tries to chase me down to put medicine in ‘em. Seems all this humidity makes ‘em act up.  Hmmmpht

          RaenaBelle!!! You sure don’t sound like yourself. Grumpy cat’s got nuffin’ on you. What’s got you in such a tizzy? 

 

Raena sits pretty on the cat tree

 

 

 

Haven’t you’s been payin’ attention sissy? Do I’s have to repeat mine’s self?

 

          No Raena, you don’t need to repeat all that nonsense. And you know that’s ‘zactly what it is, nonsense. You know mommy luvs you and luvs cuddle time. She wouldn’t miss it ifin she could help it. Besides, you’ve been gettin’ lots of extra lap luvvin’ time lately, so you’ve got nuffin’ to complain ‘bout. And, me heard you gettin’ treats just the other day. 

 

You did? Where were you sissy?

          Uh…Me was unner the bed lookin’ fur intruders. Yep, that’s what me was doin’, alright. With all these storms ya’ just never know what might crawl thru the walls. And, as the oldest, it’s me’s job to purrtect me’s family. Me’s gotta tell ya’, me liked it much better when me was the baby and all this respawnsibility was sis Lexi’s. Me doesn’t now how she did it all. She really was the Service Cat Extraordinaire. 

 

Lexi looks up at mommy while sitting in her lap on 3/3/2016

Lexi sure luvved mommy and spendin’ time in her lap.

 

 

 

Aaaaaw sissy, I’s sure she had days when she wished she was still the baby too. After all, I’s ‘member you tellin’ me that she was the baby fur the furst 6 years of her life. And I’s bet that as extraordinary as she was, you’re just as special. I’s think you’re a great big sisfur. (Raena whispers) Least most of the time. (Raena looks up)  Anyways, did you know that cuz we missed postin’ on Furiday, that we also missed the blooper blog hop? You know the foto fails with the Cuddlywumps.  And we missed Feline Furiday with Comedy Plus.

 

          Yeah Raena me heard. It’s a shame too, cuz goodness knows we’ve got tons of failed fotos. 

 

Raena lays in cat house on cat tree

Where’s mine’s face mommy? What kind’a foto is this? Foto Fail, big time.

 

 

 

Yeah sissy, mommy keeps tryin’, but sometimes she just can’t keep up. Did you see what she shot the other day? Y, I’s never!!! I’s pawed the delete button on that one real fast.

 

          Are you meowin’ ‘bout that foto of your hiney, Raena? Cuz Kittens, it sure looked big. Your hiney me means. MOL 

 

That’s not very nice sissy. And, mine’s hiney isn’t that big. Ifin you’s don’t be nice, I’s gonna tell mommy. 

 

Dezi's back side- blooper

Does anypawdy here think mommy got confused ’bout where

our faces might be?

 

 

 

          Kittens Raena, you’re so touchy. You know me didn’t mean naythin’ by it. Sometimes things just look bigger in fotos. Why do you think mommy tries to avoid bein’ in front of a camera? She’s not very comfurtable with that few extra pounds she put on a few years back. Anyways, me’s sorry. Your hiney;s so fluffy it’s kind’a hard to tell what size it really is. 

 

Raena lays on scratcher

 

 

 

Is that a ‘pawlogy sissy? Cuz that doesn’t sound like a ‘pawlogy. But I’s’ll accept it. I’s don’t wanna fight today. We’re too late to enter the foto fails blog hop, but we thought we’d post one anyways. Everypawdy needs a good laff to start and end their day. Looks like mommy’s finished with her coffee and needs us to help her take a shower. C’mon sissy, let’s go help. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: The Internet Can Be A Blessing

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday and we’ve been MIA since Wednesday. Me’s not sure ifin our furiends missed us or not, but we sure missed them. 

 

Raena sits in box

 

 

 

          Raena:  Yeah sissy, I’s guess we’re gonna have to start tellin’ peeps that we can’t post on mommy’s doctor days. Since the whole lease fiasco when the manager harassed mommy’s doctor’s office, she just gets so stressed out, she can’t help us do anythin’. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

Dezi:  It’s not just that Raena, the doctor keeps messin’ with mommy’s medicines and blamin’ some imaginary rules. Anyways, we’ll just have to figger somethin’ out so we don’t just disappear. Maybe mommy can try to schedule our posty to publish without us bein’ here. 

 

          Raena:  That’s a good idea sissy. But, the last time she scheduled a posty to post without us, it totally disappeared into cyberspace. I’s don’t think she’s ever found that posty. Sometimes the innernet’s not so smart. 

 

Dezi stands in box

 

 

 

Dezi:  Well Raena, mommy says the innernet’s only as smart as the humans who purr-ogram it.

 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap and get love

 

 

 

          Raena:  Well sissy, ifin that’s the case, ya’ reckon mommy lost our posty and not the innernet? 

 

Luv ya' Dezi
Luv ya’, Dezi (one of the furst fotos we ever posted on me’s bloggy.)

 

 

Dezi:  Me’s not sure Raena, but me ain’t gonna be the one askin’. Anyways, we’re gettin’ off track here. Smart or not, the innernet’s been a big Blessin’ fur us. Cuz of the catputer and the innernets we’ve made loads of amazin’ furiends. Who would’a thought 5 years ago when we got our very furst catputer, we’d be where we are today?. You weren’t ‘round then, but me ‘members mommy was so cautious and ‘fraid that everypawdy was somepawdy other than who they said they were, and that everypawdy was out to give her a virus or somethin’, that she wouldn’t hardly spend any time on it. She fur sure never visited any fun sites.

          Raena:  Oh sissy, and the camera ya’ll had. (Raena shakes her head) The other day I’s saw some of the fotos and videos ya’ll posted back then. Those were pawful. Mommy fur sure ain’t no purrfessional when it comes to the foto takin’, but at least she’s learned a few things thru the years. And, the camera got better.  

 

Dezi:  That’s true Raena. ‘Course, mommy had cats and rats (cataracts) back then, so she had no idea how blurry and grainy our fotos were…the whole world was blurry to her. MOL 

 

          Raena:  MOL  (Both Dezi and Raena burst out laughing)  Yeah sissy, now she just blames it on old eyes. But ya’ know what? I’s don’t care how old mommy’s eyes are, I’s luvs her and am so Blest to have her as mine’s mommy.

 

Dezi get love laying on the chair arm

 

 

 

Dezi:  Me too Raena. We also got some goody Blessings this week we need to say fank you fur. We sure do ‘purreciate all of our furiends. and we wanna fank awnty Susan fur the green papers and her furiendship. 

 

Cheese gift from Cindy

Fanky fank you awnty Cindy. I’s luvs me some cheese.

 

 

 

          Raena:  We sure do sissy. And we wanna meow fanky fank you to awnty Cindy fur sendin’ us some goodies and new boxes to play in. You know how much we kitties luvs our boxes. I’s had a great paper bag I’s was playin’ with till mommy threw it out. She said it was all squished and wouldn’t stay open any more. Fur some reason she thought that meant it wasn’t fun. (Shakes head and looks over at the trash can) Sometimes mommies just don’t get it.

 

Dezi:  Well Raena, you did put that paper sack thru it. Me’s sure mommy will get you another one ifin ya’ liked it that much. Mommy always says ifin we’re happy then she’s happy. Me’s purretty sure we even have a box with a couple of those paper sacks ‘round here somewhere. ‘Member the time mommy thought she was gettin’ a really cool toy fur us fur the cheap, and it turned out to be a box of paper sacks? All ya’ gotta do is find that box. MOL 

 

          Raena:  Really sissy? I’s gonna go look fur it now. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

Dezi:  You do that Raena. Me’s gonna wrap this up. The truth is, there purr-obably are lots of peeps who aren’t who they say they are and want to take advantage of others. But, fur us, the innernet’s been a huge Blessing and opened up a world with a lot of amazin’ anipals and peeps that we would have never known without it. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. And fank you all fur bein’ a Blessing in ours.

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

 

Dezi: You’ve always gotta have the last meow, don’ch’a Raena?

Chatting Cats: Lap Loving Is The Best

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Let me tell ya’, you don’t know how good you have it till there’s an upset. I’s can’t ‘magine how anypawdy in this day and age can live without an a/c. Y, It felt so good in here yesfurday, we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. Well, actually, we did, but mommy kept noddin’ off so we didn’t get any visitin’ done at all.

 

Dezi sniffs mommys hand while laying in lap

 

 

 

 

          It’s not her fault Raena. She was ‘fraid to go to bed Sunday night cuz she didn’t want the repairmen to show up furst thing in the meownin’ and her not be able to let ‘em in and have the manager write her up fur bein’ uncoopurr-ative. And after they left she had a bit of cleanin’ to do and didn’t get to bed till 5:30 Tuesday meownin’; only to be jolted awake by the lawn crew some time t’ween 7:30 and 8 a.m.. Mommy’s just too old to keep those kinds of hours. 

 

Raena stands on small perch and leans front paws on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Well sissy, I’s sure hope she caught up on her naps, cuz we’ve got lots of visitin’ to do today. Our furiends could’a gone to the moon and back and we’d never know. Y, Mine’s Simon’s family didn’t have anythin’ cuz of a nasty o’l lightnin’ bolt and still they managed to visit their furiends. But mommy loses a few zzzzzzz’s and she’s s’posed to get a pass? 

 

          Uh, Your Simon, Raena? Since when? 

 

Yeah sissy, you know, our furiend Simon, Brian’s bushy tailed brofur? 

 

Dezi poses for a picture while laying on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

          Sure Raena, but that’s not what you meowed. You implied…  

 

Raena looks back from her dinner plate

 

 

 

I’s didn’t imply anythin’ sissy. I’s just meowin’ that we’ve got lots of things to do, furiends to see and…well we need to get busy. That’s all I’s was meowin’. Anyways, are you ever gonna let me have some mommy lap luvvin’ time? Every time I’s wanna get in mommy’s lap, there your fluffy hiney is, all stretched out and droolin’ all over the place. It’s mine’s turn fur lap luvvin’ time. Why don’t you go spend some quality time with the cat tree?. 

 

          Me’s not droolin’ Raena, me’s just happy. 

 

Well sissy, happy or sad, when spit falls outta your mouth, it’s called droolin’. Mommy says so. I’s thought us kitties were s’posed to be purr-opurr and dignified. All that slobber ain’t very diginified, ya’ know?. 

 

Dezi drools and gets love while laying on the chair arm

 

 

 

          When it comes to luv Raena, there aren’t any rules. But, me’s still not droolin’. 

 

 

 

Whatever you meow sissy. (Raena mumbles to herself) Ifin it looks like slobber then it must be slobber. Hmmmpnt  Besides, we’ve got a foto to prove it. MOL  Anyways, I’s think today’s mine’s day fur lap luvvin’, so move over. Why don’t you go finish your brekky and I’s’ll even let ya’ eat the last few bites of mine’s. 

 

Dezi gets her ears scratched while laying on the chair arm

 

 

 

          No Raena, me doesn’t want too. You spend every night cuddled up so close to mommy that even air can’t pass t’ween ya’. It’s only right that me gets her lap durin’ the day. 

 

 

Raena gets loving while sleeping beside mommy A on the bed

 

 

 

Night time sleepy time doesn’t count sissy. You’re just as cuddled up as me. And cuz mommy’s sleepin’ and can’t move, there’s no cuddle pets, chin scritches or cooing ‘bout how bootyful I’s is and how much she luvs me. Ready or not, here I’s come. You better scoot over or I’s’ll jump on top of ya’. 

 

Dezi gets loving standing on mommy's lap

Don’t you dare jump on me RaenaBelle!!!

 

 

 

          Hisssssssssss  RaenaBelle Mayce!!! (Dezi jumps down and flicks her tail as she walks over to her breakfast plate to finish eating.)  Sometimes, you can be a real brat.  

 

Raena sleeps in mommy's lap

Now this is the life. The bestest seat in the house.

 

 

 

But ya’ still luvs me, don’t ya’ sissy?  (Raena curls up and start purring as mommy A begins to pet her and coo over her.)  I’s luvs you mommy. Wha’d’ya’ say, we visit our furiends now? Yep, right after that scritch, right there, that’s the… (Raena closes her eyes and powers up her purr motor

Blest Sunday: Sweating Like A Pig In A Smoker

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Me wants to count our Blessings. 

 

Raena lays on the litterbox and sleeps

At least this plastic’s a little cool.

 

 

 

          Raena:  How can you even think in this heat, sissy? I’s just wanna find a cool place to lay and stretch out fur a good nap. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

Dezi:  Purrlease Raena, It’s been hotter than this befur. We live in the South, and heat’s just a pawrt of it. 

 

          Raena:  Yeah sissy, but not in the house. The house is s’posed to be cool. Isn’t that what the air conditioner’s fur? Even mommy’s sweatin’. I’s heard her say last night that we were way past the glistenin’ of a Southern lady and well on our way to sweatin’ like pigs in a smoker. 

 

Dezi lays in mommys lap for loving

 

 

 

Dezi:  Me heard her Raena. Me even got me’s fur soaked when me sat in her lap fur a little lap luvvin’. She said the air conditioner wasn’t workin’ purr-opurrly. Me saw her turn it down several times. And me heard her yellin’ at it to work. She said it ain’t s’posed to be 80 degrees in here when the thremostat is set on 74°. She even tried the o’l human trick of hittin’ it. Hmmmpht  Humans think that hittin’ electronics will somehow make ‘em work. Me’s never quite unnerstood that concept, but lots of humans do it. 

 

          Raena:  MOL  I’s seen it too sissy. So, are you meowin’ that it doesn’t actually work? Cuz you know, when I’s can’t get our ‘lectric toys to work, all I’s have to do is whacky paw ‘em a few times and they suddenly start workin’. 

 

Dezi:  There’s a big difference in you furinally whacky pawin’ the power button and humans slappin’ at the sides of a machine Raena. Anyways, least we have fans. Did you know that peeps used to think sweatin’ was a way to lose weight and get skinny? Sure ‘nuff, peeps used to pay good money fur stuffs to wrap themselves up in that would make ‘em sweat. Hmmmpht  We didn’t have to pay anythin’ fur this. See? You can find a Blessing in everythin’, ya’ just have to look. 

 

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

 

 

 

          Raena:  You’re right sissy. Altho’ I’s don’t think that losin’ weight pawrt works…mommy hasn’t lost anythin’. I’s mean, I’s didn’t put her on a scale or nuffin’, but… 

 

Dezi: Of course me is Raena, me’s always right. Me’s older and wiser and…

 

          Raena:  You’re old alright sissy. I’s not so sure ‘bout that wiser thing, but ifin that’s what you wanna tell yourself… 

 

Dezi:  RaenaBelle Mayce, that’s not very nice. 

 

          Raena: Sorry sissy. Do you want a hug? 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying on the arm of the chair

Me’s gettin’ purrlenty of luvvin’ from mommy.

 

 

 

Dezi:  No Raena, stay back. Your ‘pawlogy’s enuff. By the way, do you see anythin’ innerestin’ outside? 

 

          Raena:  Nope sissy, not a thing. I’s haven’t even seen any birds. I’s did see one of those annoyin’ gnats in your brekky a while ago tho’. Ifin you don’t want the gnats to steal it, you better go claim it. 

 

Dezi:  What ‘bout yours Raena? Ifin they’re tryin’ to steal me’s brekky, then they’re purrobaly in yours too. 

 

          Raena:  Nah sissy, I’s finished mine’s a few minutes ago and I’s even had a few bites of yours. (Raena snickers a bit as she licks her paw and wipes her face) Guess I’s was purretty hungry this meownin’. Meowin’ of, we’re purretty Blest to have such tasty noms. And a mommy who only wants the bestest fur us. 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying on the arm of the chair

 

 

 

Dezi:  That we are Raena, that we are. And, a few of our facebook furiends got together and donated some green papers so mommy could have gas money to get back to the dentist fur some adjustments on her dentures. We sure do ‘purreciate everyone that helped. Meowin’ of furiends, we have the bestest furiends in the universe. 

 

          Raena:  Oh sissy, I’s luvs our furiends so much. I’s wish we could all have a big get together and meet up fur to fur to flesh. Wouldn’t that be just wonderful? 

 

Close up of Dezi's face, selfie

Me’s ready fur more luvvin’ mommy.

 

 

 

Dezi:  It would Raena. But fur now, we’ll just have to settle fur readin’ their stories and seein’ their fotos. As we do each week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank each of you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. 

 

Raena sleeping selfie in lap

 

 

 

          Raena:  And don’t furget to check out all the Sunday Selfies over at the Kitties Blue. I’s gonna go back to mine’s purrch now and see ifin anything’s goin’ on outside. 

 

Dezi:  Me’s gonna go get some more lap luvvin’ Raena. Enjoy the purrch.
