          RaenaYou meow that sissy, but the minute I’s walk away, you’ll be movin’ in on mine’s plate and tryin’ to chow it down. Besides with the mess we’ve got goin’ on ‘round here, I’s wasn’t sure we had any Blessings to count this week.

 

Dezi plays on scratcher

 

 

 

RaenaBelle!!! Bite your tongue!!! Besides, me never steals your food…(Dezi mumbles slyly.) Least not while mommy’s lookin’.

 

          No, sissy!!! That would hurt. And, you do it all the time. Mommy’s always tellin’ you to get outta mine’s plate.

(Dezi shakes her head)  Purrlease Raena, it’s just a figger of speech. We have purrlenty of Blessings to count, no matter what’s goin’ on ‘round here. We have the bestest most pawsumest furiends in the universe. And, we have a mommy that luvs us more than anythin’ else in the afur mentioned universe. We’ve found our furevers Raena. No matter what, mommy will never ever leave us or throw us away. Mommy says that altho’ it’s been a while, this wouldn’t be the furst time she’s had to live in her car and Shad never left her side or went hungry. Ifin you’d like to read that story you can do so here. Besides, mommy says we’re not out on the streets just yet. 

 

Raena plays with the jitterbug whole heartedly

I’s luvs mine’s toys too.

 

 

 

          You’re right sissy. I’s luvs our furiends. And I’s luvs mommy soooooo much. I’s never doubted that she’d be there fur us no matter what. And, her new dentists’ ‘pointments are movin’ along nicely. This week she’ll be tryin’ out a wax form with teethies in it. And, the doctor’s been the one doin’ the work. There’s always an assistant in the room, but Dr. Collier’s seen mommy and made all the impurrsions and adjustments at each ‘pointment. Y, She’s so x’perienced at dentures, one of the other doctors even came and asked her advice last week. It made mommy feel really good and like she’s furinally in good hands.

Yep Raena, me’s so happy ‘bout that. Mommy said Dr. Collier’s really nice and she even believes in rescue. She has two rescued woofies and the rest of her furmily has woofies and kitties that they’ve rescued too. We think it was her sisfur that adopted a stray kitty what came to her house lookin’ fur food and shelter. We always get x’cited when we hear stories ‘bout some kitty or woofy findin’ their purrfect furever. 

 

Raena lays on the bottom ledge of the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          So true sissy, so true. Ya’ know, we might not always get along like peas in a pod, but I’s wouldn’t want any other sisfur or mommy. I’s thinkin’ mine’s life is purretty close to purrfect. So, that means you’re right ‘bout the Blessings too. I’s got purrlenty to give fanky fanks fur. I’s got so much luvs that sometimes mine’s heart feels like it could explode. And, I’s got a full belleh with some of the tastiest noms on the planet. 

 

Hmmmmm Really Raena? So does that mean you’re thru with your brekky?

 

Dezi eats Raena's left overs

Since Raena’s belly’s so full, she won’t mind ifin me just

finishes off this little bit she left.

 

 

 

          Nope sissy, that doesn’t mean you can eat outta mine’s plate. I’s might wanna go back fur another bite in a minute. You know I’s have to check out what’s goin’ on outside. Ifin I’s just stayed with mine’s head down in mine’s plate, I’s might miss somethin’. Y, I’s saw all kinds of things this meownin’. I’s saw a few birdies, a gnat, a moth…(While Raena rambles on, Dezi sneaks over to her breakfast plate and eats a few bites. Raena looks back from the perch at the door to see Dezi eating the last few bites of her breakfast…)  Sissy!!! Get outta mine’s plate or I’s gonna tell mommy. 

 

What? You meowed your belly was full?. Anyways, let’s wrap this up and give mommy some extra luvvin’. Me knows she could sure use some.

Nope, this ain’t our selfie, that’s above. MOL

 

 

 

          Great idea sissy. Befur we go we gotta link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies

 

 

Fanks Raena. We’d also like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. No matter what may be happenin’ around you, each day you wake up and take a breath, is a Blessing. Fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives.

Chatting Cats: Never Too Old To Play

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Mommy’s pickle’s in a pickle, so I’s in charge. I’s gotta meow to ya’ that I’s luvs bein’ in charge. This is just where kitties belong. 

 

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

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle!!! Just who actually told you that you were in charge? And what ‘zactly are you in charge of? Me seems to ‘member that me’s your elder and have been here longer than you. Ifin anykitty’s gonna be in charge, it oughtta be me.  

 

Well sissy, you are right that you’re a little long in the toothies, but everypawdy knows, I’s the alpha kitty here. 

 

          Long in the toothies?! Me’s gonna tell mommy that you’re bein’ mean to me. You know it’s not nice to call kitties names. Here me’s given you the benefit of all me’s many years of trainin’ and expurr-ience, and me even innerduced you to all me’s furiends and let you play with all me’s toys and lay on me’s cat tree, and how do you repay me? By makin’ fun of me’s advanced wisdom. Hmmmpht 

 

Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree looking at Raena laying on the top ledge

 

 

 

But sissy, it’s not makin’ fun ifin it’s the truth?. Mommy says we should always tell the truth, even ifin it hurts. 

 

Dezi sits on scratcher watching jitterbug

 

 

 

          Mommy also says, ifin ya’ can’t say anythin’ nice, don’t say anythin’ at all, Raena. Besides, me’s been really nice to you lately. Me even let you play with the new jitterbug all by yourself. 

 

Raena plays with the jitterbug

 

 

 

You let me, sissy? I’s thought you were just too, uh, too old mature and tired, yeah that’s it, to keep up with it. I’s whacked it over to ya’ several times, but all you did was sit there and watch. It was great fun. I’s think I’s still like the hexbugs better, but they get lost too easy. We still haven’t located the last one we played with. After retrievin’ him out from unner things 6 times the other day, mommy said ifin he got lost again, that was just too bad. 

 

Dezi sits on the scratcher watching the jitterbug

 

 

 

 

          Hmmmmpht Too mature and tired. Me just didn’t want your over stimulated whacky paw to hit me’s face. You get all beside yourself when ya’ chase those silly bugs Raena. As fur the hexbug, me’s purretty sure he’s somewhere unner the tables in the hallway. Least that’s where me heard his buzz last. Oh well, mommy will find him one day, she always does.

 

 

Raena plays with the jitterbug and packing paper

 

 

 

In the meantime sissy, least we still have the other hexbug we got fur Christmas and the new jitterbug. Let’s go see ifin mommy will let us play with ‘em again today. I’s know she still has human business to take care of, but surely she can spare a few hours minutes to play with us and to help us visit a few furiends. After all, this is gonna be another of those all nighters so she can get to the dentist office furst thing in the meownin’. I’s sure hope these ‘pointments get wrapped up sooner than later. 

 

Dezi sits on scratcher watching the jitterbug

 

 

 

          Me too Raena. We could use any purrayers our furiends can spare that mommy can get this lease mess straightened out and get our lives back to some kind of normal. 

 

 

Raena reaches for the jitterbug toy under the crepe paper

I’s gonna get you bug.

 

 

 

Sure ‘nuff, sissy. See you all soon.

Chatting Cats: Kitties Don’t Go To Jail

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. What a day we’re havin’. Ya’ know, we watched some show over the holiday that talked ‘bout how some peeps seemed to have more trials than others. There was this counselor sayin’ that it wasn’t true, it just seemed like it. Let me tell ya’, it is true, and we’re the purrfect example of it.

 

Raena stands on the Liberty Cat tree while Dezi looks back at her from the ledge

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, quit whinin’, it never helps anythin’. Mommy will figger it all out or go to jail, me’s sure of it. 

 

Jail sissy? Nopawdy said anythin’ ‘bout jail. What are you meowin’ ‘bout? 

 

Dezi looks up at Raena and hisses on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Well the lease recert peeps said that somepawdy at mommy’s doctors office wrote a letter to the ‘pawrtments that said the doctor didn’t know anythin’ ‘bout the meds she takes and hasn’t since 2011. That started a whole mess that means that mommy may have to pay extra rent fur all those years we’ve lived here. We can barely affurd to pay the rent we have now, we sure can’t affurd more rent. So, they may take mommy away to jail since she can’t pay. They already gave her an eviction notice this meownin’. Cuz of that letter, they said she’s not in compliance with our lease. 

 

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

 

 

 

Is that why mommy’s so upset sissy? Are we gonna lose our ‘pawrtment? Will we go to jail with mommy? Does jail have cages? I’s don’t wanna live in a cage again?.

 

          Nope Raena, they don’t let kitties go to jail with their peeps. But, mommy just said she ain’t goin’ to jail, somethin’ ‘bout no debtors purrison. She said she didn’t know how she was gonna fix this, but that we’re not to worry ‘bout it. She says it’s fur mommy’s to worry ‘bout, not sweet little kitty girls. 

 

Guess that means she’s gonna be too busy today to play with us or help us visit our furiends, huh sissy?. 

 

Dezi and Raena play with the Hexbug gift from Belinda

 

 

 

          Purrobably Raena, but at least we’ll still have a home to live in. Mommy said this is just the latest in a long line of bad news and purroblems she’s been given this month. Anyways, what do ya’ say we go play and let mommy take care of the business. 

 

Okay sissy, that sounds like a plan. Let me just tell mommy that I’s’ll be ready ifin she needs me to go anywhere with her. Ya’ know, to help her with her ‘purrtant business. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Fearless And Mighty Blessings

MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Time to count our many Blessings fur the week. In spite of all the boom, boom, booms of fireworks, no kitty spent any time UTB (under the bed) here. We quite surpurrised mommy. Me thinks there were a couple of times when she was actually holdin’ her breath and tryin’ to purrtend she didn’t hear anythin’ so we’d ignore it too. Our town put on their little big fireworks extravaganza last night. The boomers seemed to go on furever, but we just ignored them and chilled with mommy.

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          Yep sissy, mommy was quite purrleased with us. I’s even caught her smilin’ once when she thought we weren’t lookin’. I’s don’t know why she was surpurrised tho’, nuffin’ scares me. 

 

Dezi lays on the arm of the chair, selfie

 

 

 

Oh yeah, the big bad brave RaenaBelle, conqueror of all in her teeny big world. Hmmmmmpht  Some times you can be a real show off. There’s nuffin’ wrong with bein’ scared now and then. Fear can be a good thing. Ya’ know, like bein’ ‘fraid of mommy’s jet ski sized feet steppin’ on your tail or her’s jumbo hiney splattin’ ya’ when she falls. Bein’ ‘fraid means you know when to get outta the way. 

 

          Why would ya’ be ‘fraid of mommy, sissy? She’d never hurt us. 

 

‘Course not Raena, least not on purr-puss. But, sometimes she doesn’t watch where she’s steppin’, and you know she doesn’t have any control over where she lands when she falls. A little fear never hurt any kitty.

 

Raena lays on the scratcher and looks up

 

 

 

          Whatever sissy, I’s purrfur mine’s way better. I’s trust mommy no matter what. 

 

Well Raena, that’s why you got your tail stepped on the other day.

 

Raena lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          To be honest sissy, it wasn’t actually mine’s tail she stepped on. She only caught a few strands of the tippy end of mine’s tail furs. Besides, she cried and ‘pawlogized and gave me lots of extra luvvin’ afterwards. We would have even got some treats but you know we’re not eatin’ ‘em cuz she bought out the store. What kitty wants cheap treats when there’s purrlenty in the house? Anyways, we’re s’posed to be countin’ our Blessings. I’s meow our furst Blessing is that we have a pawsum luvvin’ furever home. This past week it’s been hotter than a fryin’ pan, stormed and raged and been full of silly humans pawppin’ those fireworks; and we didn’t have a care in the world. We were inside with the cool a/c loungin’ ‘bout and enjoyin’ the good life. 

 

Dezi sniffs floor while playing with the yeowww nip heart

 

 

 

Ain’t that the truth Raena. And fanks to awnty Vonda, we had a bar-b-que sammich, smashed taters with cheese and a watermelon fur our celebration.

 

          Oh sissy, that bar-b-que sammich was so tasty. I’s fanky fankful mommy shared, but I’s could’a ate a whole sammich mine’s self. I’s didn’t have any of the taters, but I’s do luvs me some cheese. And, that was mine’s furst ever watermelon. It was really purretty yummy too. Who’d’ve thought we kitties would like such a thing? 

 

Watermelon clip art

 

Yep Raena, watermelons are purretty tasty, but me sure does have to pee a lot after eatin’ ‘em. Mommy says they’re one of her favorite foods. We used to have ‘em every summer when me was a kitten. Anyways, we had a great celebration. Me hopes all our furiends did too. We were reminiscin’ this past week ‘bout our lives befur we got a catputer and innernet. We are so Blest to have met so many amazin’ peeps and anipals, and we never wanna go back to the way things were befur.

 

          We sure don’t sissy. I’s wasn’t even alive in those days. But, I’s can’t ‘magine what mine’s life would be like without all our furiends, and I’s don’t even wanna try. 

 

Me neither Raena, me neither. Hey, did you see where mommy read that story ‘bout coffee?

 

          You mean the one that said peeps who drink coffee appear to live up to 5 years longer than peeps who don’t drink coffee? Yep sissy, I’s saw that. I’s guess we might oughtta let her enjoy a cup ever once in a while, huh?.

 

Uh, Maybe you oughtta heed your own meows Raena. After all, it wasn’t me inneruptin’ her the last couple of meownings. Me was purrfectly happy to let her finish a cup while it was still hot. 

 

          Well sissy, ifin you had used the litter box ‘stead of the piddle pad, I’s wouldn’t have had to ask her to clean it up right away. Anyways, she made another cup, so technically she got to finish her coffee. Let’s wrap this up, I’s wanna play.

 

Dezi looks at camera while sitting on cat scratcher

 

 

 

‘Course you do Raena. Don’t you ever get tired? (Raena grabs a nip filled mouse and runs through the house chortlin’ and chirpin’.) Guess that answers that one. We’d like to fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. We luv you all very much. We’d also like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life.
