Chatting Cats: You Won, Just Click Here

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. Hold on just a minute, I’s checkin’ our emails. I’s thought I’s saw somethin’ here a minute ago…now where did that email go?. (Raena searches the email subject lines and finally sees one that says “you’ve won”)  Here it is mommy, open that one. Read it to me mommy, read it now. (Mommy A slowly and sarcastically reads the email to Raena.)  WooHoo!!! Our troubles are over!!! We’re rich sissy!!! We’re rich mommy!!! We can have as many scratchers and cat trees as we want now. (Raena zooms thru the house and up the cat tree and back down. Raena zooms thru the house and knocks a few knick knacks from their spots onto the floor. She finally runs back to the living room and jumps up on the boxes behind the chair) We’ve won the New Zealand lotto!!! Mommy, how many dollars is a million pounds? What are we gonna buy furst? I’s think we should buy a real Three Belles Ranch and make lots of cat houses so we can save all the kitties who need a home. Sissy, what do want to buy furst?  

 

Raena stands on boxes in hallway looking back

 

 

 

          Uh Raena…we don’t play the lotto. We fur sure don’t play the New Zealand lotto. That’s a scam.  

 

A scam? No sissy, they didn’t ask fur anythin’. They just need us to click this link. Hurry mommy, click it fast. We don’t want ‘em givin’ our money away to somepawdy else. 

 

Raena stands on boxes in hallway - selfie

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, you know mommy ain’t gonna click that link. There’s a rule, ifin it sounds to good to be true, then it purrobably is. And trust me, us winnin’ a lottery we don’t even play is way too good to be true.  

 

But sissy…We got an email?. Surely they wouldn’t lie to us?.  

 

          Well Raena, that’s one of the hard lessons you have to learn ‘bout life.. Just cuz you don’t lie, doesn’t mean everypawdy else on the planet tells the truth. There are scammers ‘round every corner. That’s why we’re so fankful fur all our furiends. They’re the bright light amidst all the crazy.

So, we’re not gettin’ a million pounds? We can’t really buy a ranch or a bunch of scratchers?  

 

          No Raena, we’re not gettin’ a million pounds. We’re not buyin’ a ranch and we’re not buyin’ a house full of scratchers. Altho’ we kind’a already have a house full of scratchers. 

 

Dezi lays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

Yeah, but most of those are worn out; or you hurled on ‘em.  

 

          Not all of ‘em Raena. Besides, we still have our sisal scratchers. They’re still in great shape. And mommy got us the new scratcher lounger from the green papers we got fur Christmas. 

 

Oooooh Sissy, meowin’ of gifts, did you see what came in the mail yesfurday? We got not one, but two new Cat Dancers. Mommy found a 2 pack at Wally world. Ya’ know our Jewish furiends from the J-Cats didn’t even know what it was. 

 

Raena plays with the Cat DancerI’s luvved the cat dancer when I’s furst came here.

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me ‘members me’s furst Cat Dancer. They used to be more ‘spensive and mommy grumbled ‘bout payin’ so much fur a few pieces of rolled up papers on the end of a wire. But once she saw how much fun it was fur me, she said it was priceless. ‘Course, that didn’t stop her lookin’ fur a bargain when it came to buyin’ a new one. Me just can’t wait to play with it. 

 

Dezi whacks the Cat Dancer from the liberty Cat tree

 

 

 

Me too sissy.  

 

          Well, don’t break this one. Me doesn’t even know how you could break a metal wire.   

 

Hmmmmpht  I’s don’t recall that sissy. And, ifin I’s don’t recall it, it didn’t happen.  

 

Raena sits on scratcher in front of the tv

 

 

 

          Let me guess, you heard that on teevee? Cuz you know, ifin the evidence shows you’re guilty then you’re guilty whether you ‘member it or not. 

   

Evidence? There ain’t no evidence sissy. One day we woke up and it was just broken. You could’a broke it yourself and now you’re tryin’ to blame it on me.

 

          Sure Raena. Me had it fur a whole year befur you came and two days after your arrival it magically breaks? Just like all our electronic toys. You’re just hard on toys, that’s all. 

 

Raena walks on boxes in hallway Gotta go…

 

 

 

Well at least I’s don’t hurl on everythin’ sissy. That’s so gross. Anyways, ifin we’re not gettin’ that lotto money, then all mine’s plans fur the day are shot. I’s so wanted to go shoppin’. Hmmmpht  I’s guess we better finish our brekky.  

 

Do you play the lotto?

Tell All Tuesday: Babbling And Planning

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the Three Belles Ranch. You are never gonna believe what mommy did last night. 

 

Raena lays in lap selfie

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle!!! You don’t blab everythin’ the minute it happens. 

 

But sissy, it’s tell all Tuesday. I’s thought that meant we told everythin’.

 

          Kittens Raena, that mostly applies to product reviews, not everythin’ ya’ know. Altho’ ifin ya’ told all you know, it couldn’t be more than one post.

 

Dezi lays in chair

 

 

 

Are you suggestin’ I’s don’t know very much sissy? Cuz mommy says I’s a very smart kitty girl.  

 

          Of course mommy would say that Raena, she’s mommy. That’s what mommy’s do.

 

So, you’re sayin’ mommy lied?. Did she lie when she said you were a smart kitty girl, too? Cuz you know how mommy feels ‘bout lyin’. 

 

Raena bathes, toe beansCheck out mine’s toe beans.

 

 

 

          Me didn’t call anypawdy a liar Raena, and fur sure not mommy. Me just meant that you’re too young to know too much.

 

Welllllllll, You just might be surpurrised at what I’s know sissy. I’s know purrlenty.  Hmmmpht  

 

          Whatever. Ifin you know so much why are you constantly tryin’ to cover your meals with our toys? You know they don’t belong in our plate. 

 

Dezi gets lap loving laying in mommy A's lap

 

 

 

It’s called subliminal communication sissy. Our furiends Travis and Teddy get bacon every week, and I’s want mommy to give us some. So, I’s hopin’ mommy’ll get the message ifin she has to keep pullin’ our bacon toy outta mine’s plate. Some day that light bulb thingy’s gonna go off and she’ll start servin’ us bacon. It’s gotta be good fur us; mommy says they used to call it the other white meat. 

 

          Don’t tell me, you learned ‘bout this subliminal stuffs on the tee-vee, right? 

 

Hmmmmm I’s don’t really ‘member sissy, but it sounded like a good plan. 

 

Raena stands on cat tree

 

 

 

          You and your plans, Raena. Me doesn’t think this one’s gonna work. After all, it’s not like mommy eats bacon either. How’s she gonna give us soemthin’ we don’t even have? Travis and Teddy’s pawrents eat bacon on the regular so that’s why they get it. Anyways, me seems to ‘member you didn’t even eat the last bacon mommy gave you. 

 

Dezi gets lap loving in mommy A's lap

 

 

 

That wasn’t fair. I’s had just got out of surgery and wasn’t totally awake. Who wants to eat while they’re sleepy drunk? Technically, that means mommy owes me a piece of bacon sissy. 

 

          Sure Raena, whatever you meow. In the meantime, we need to finish our brekky. Get our toys outta your plate and let’s eat. 

 

 

Raena plays with TrixieToys

 

 

Okay sissy, but I’s wanna play later. (Raena gobbles down her breakfast while thinking up ways to ambush Dezi, while Dezi eats and thinks up ways to avoid playtime with Raena.

Blest Sunday: Wagging Tongues

MeOW  What a wonderful week of Blessings and Fankfulness. (Dezi walks back and forth down the hall meowing, stopping occasionally to squat, wiggle and look around before starting up again. She hears the wind blowing through the wind chimes and the leaves rustling outside and jumps on the Liberty cat tree to take a look.)  RaenaBelle, hasn’t this been a pawsum week?

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, it really has. (The wind blows up a funnel cloud of leaves and Raena crouches on the perch in front of the door watching intently as if she could reach out and catch one.)  We’re so Blest; even mommy’s startin’ to feel a bit better. She said fanky fanks to our massages and a box of imitrex her migraine’s let up a lot. At least enuff so she can think again. I’s told her we had plans to make and things to get done befur Christmas. I’s so ready fur Christmas to be here, aren’t you? 

 

Pipo and Dalton in masksConCats, great masks.

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me can’t hardly wait. But befur we move on we need to ‘pawlogize fur not announcin’ the winners of our mask contest at me’s Carnival pawrty. What with the innernet bein’ out, mommy’s sick and the holidays, we got way behind. Our winners were Pipo and Dalton. As purromissed, you’ll be gettin’ a little sumpin’ sumpin’; but, all our plans went astray and it ain’t here yet. So, we’ll send it on when we get it, K? Me was so happy to see so many of our furiends purrticipate. The bloggin’ community, cats and their peeps in purrticular are just the bestest ever.

          You got that right sissy. Meowin’ of furiends, we need to send out a fanky fank you to awnty Cindy and her brofur uncle Marshall and all the kitties. Not only did they send us that tasty fanky Fanksgivin’ dinner along with a goody box, but they also sent us a case of shelf stable milk and some green papers. Mommy says the car tags are due, so it’s a really big help. 

 

And me wants to fank awnty Vonda fur sendin’ us some green papers too Raena. Mommy said me has a late Birthday/Gotchaday gift comin’. 

 

Raena lays on perch in front of door looking back

 

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Are you gonna share? 

 

 

Dezi sits on floor in front of chair

 

 

 

Is me gonna share? Does me have a choice? Anyways, mommy said there’d be purrlenty. All me can meow is she better be right. You try to hog everythin’.

 

          Me? Nuh uh, that’s not me, that’s you. You’re the one who always throws a hissy fit when I’s try to play bunny kick the nip nanner with you. 

 

 

 

That’s cuz you wanna steal me’s nip nanner ‘stead of playin’ with your own Raena. There’s a reason mommy insists on two of everythin’; so we each can have our own. 

 

          Then why don’t you play with the other one sissy? 

 

It doesn’t matter which one me plays with Raena, that’s the one you’re gonna want. (Raena thinks for a minute and then goes back to watching the leaves fly around outside while Dezi grins at having left Raena meowless.)  Cat got your tongue? MOL 

 

Raena lays on floor with tongue touching nose

 

 

 

          Huh? What does that even mean sissy? I’s a cat, so of course I’s got mine’s tongue. Wanna see? (Raena sticks her tongue out at Dezi)

 

Me’s gonna tell mommy you’re stickin’ your tongue out and bein’ mean Raena.

 

          I’s not bein’ mean sissy, I’s just showin’ ya’ that I’s got mine’s tongue. You’re the one that asked ‘bout it?. 

 

Dezi sits with tongue out in front of door

 

 

 

Oh sure, try to blame me fur your meanness.  (Dezi sticks her tongue out at Raena.)  

  

          I’s not…sissy…? C’mon sissy, let’s not fight. It’s Blest Sunday, we’re s’posed to be countin’ our Blessings, not arguin’.  

 

Dezi plays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

You’re right Raena. We are Blest to have more than one nip nanner. We’re Blest in so many ways. 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 lives. And we wanna say a meowsy big Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

          Let’s take a quick selfie and link up with the Kittie Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. And I’s’ll let ya’ play with both nip nanners all by yourself today. 

 

(Dezi meows quietly)  Sure you will…but fur how long? Sure Raena, fanks. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: I’ll Eat When I Want To

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle, comin’ to ya’ from mine’s perch at the door. Yep, I’s spend a lot of time lookin’ out the door each day. Some days there’s more to see than others, but I’s do like lookin’ out. Today started out with the manager inneruptin’ our brekky fur an inspection. To be fair, we weren’t actually eatin’ yet, mommy was still makin’ it. I’s think that’s actually worse, cuz it meant our brekky was delayed by like a bazillion minutes. 

 

Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          A bazillion minutes, huh Raena? Me’s not sure we had to wait that long.

 

Really sissy? That’s not what you were meowin’ earlier. 

 

Raena sits on perch looking out the door

(Mommy A yells from across the room) RaenaBelle, Come eat your breakfast!!!

 

 

 

          Whatever Raena. Me doesn’t unnerstand what difference it makes to you anyways. It’s not like you’re gonna sit down and eat when mommy gives us our plates. You’ve gotta go see what’s goin’ on outside and get luvvin’ from mommy a bazillion times t’ween bites. You’d take all day to eat your brekky ifin mommy wasn’t constantly hollerin’ at ya’ to come and eat. And you wonder why me tries to steal your noms. Hmmmpht You can’t be too hungry ifin ya’ keep tryin’ to cover it up and walkin’ away. You know we can’t affurd to waste our noms. Do you know how many millions of kitties out there go hungry every day? They’d give anythin’ to be where you are. Me’s sure none of them would walk off and leave a full plate of food to try to see the neighbor’s barkin’ woofy. 

 

Raena sits on perch looking out the door

(Mommy A yells from across the room for the hundredth time)

RaenaBelle Mayce, come eat your brekky, now!!!

 

 

 

Purrrrrrrr-lease sissy, I’s eat. Just cuz I’s don’t bury mine’s face in the plate the minute mommy puts it down doesn’t mean I’s don’t want it. And yes, I’s know I’s Blest and that millions of kitties go hungry every day. I’s purray so hard fur all of them. I’s wish no kitty ever had to know hunger or live outside without a mommy like ours. But buryin’ mine’s face in mine’s plate ain’t gonna change that. On another note, did you see mommy’s new teethies? She’s furinally got ‘em. I’s can’t hardly believe it. 

 

          Me knows Raena. They look purretty good too. So, did mommy tell ya’ what’s next? 

 

Yeah sissy, mommy’s s’posed to wear ‘em a bit and then call to make ‘pointments fur adjustments as needed. ‘Pawrently there can be sharp edges and stuffs that ya’ can’t actually see or feel till you start doin’ normal things with ‘em. Mommy did say that she’d take fotos to show everypawdy fur Blest Sunday. Ya’ know, she hasn’t been wearin’ makeup to her ‘pointments cuz they get goo and yucky powder all over her face when they make adjustments. And you know mommy doesn’t like her foto taken without her “face” on.

 

Dezi lays on scratcher playing with a crinkle ball

 

 

 

          Yeah Raena, me knows. Anyways, you wanna go play? You know we got those new crinkle balls yesfurday. Me likes crinkle balls. Me likes our nip nanner better, but hey, me’s up fur a game of whap the crinkle ball. 

 

Raena bats the crinkle ball

 

 

 

I’s in sissy, let’s go. I’s can finish brekky later.

 

Do/does you/your cat eat an entire meal at one sitting? 

 

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