Blest Sunday: Chasing The Wilds

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon RaenaBelle, It’s Blest Sunday. Me wants to count me’s Blessings befur the storms start again. 

 

Dezi sits on scratcher watching Raena in box

 

 

 

          Raena:  I’s comin’ sissy. Ya’ know, it would really be a Blessing to mommy ifin you didn’t spend so much time unner the bed. (Raena meows sarcastically) I’s know, you’re not hidin’, you’re lookin’ fur intruders. But, I’s don’t think any intruders could have slipped by you. You’ve been unner the bed most of the week.

Dezi:  Was not, Raena. Me also spent time on the stool unner the vanity by the bed, and unner the dinin’ room table. Me even spent some time in mommy’s lap. And, somewhere durin’ one of those times we did get an intruder. You know, that fly we’ve been chasin’ fur two days?. 

 

Raena sits stop the liberty cat tree

Come back here fly!!!

 

 

 

          Raena:  I’s think he’s multiplyin’ sissy. I’s know I’s caught him once already. He tasted kind’a nasty. And I’s accidentally scratched mommy when I’s clasped him t’ween mine’s fluffy paws. 

 

Dezi:   Yep Raena, me heard. You’re a dangerous hunter. You’re all over the place. It’s like you’re chasin’ the wilds. You even jumped up on the kitchen counter. You know we’re not allowed up there. 

 

          Raena:   I’s was tryin’ to ketch the fly sissy. It was botherin’ mommy and you were nowhere in sight. So, it was totally up to me to purrtect her. Flies are wild, aren’t they?

 

Dezi lays on scratcher

 

 

 

Dezi:  Purrlease Raena, like that fly was gonna hurt mommy. What… 

 

          Raena:  It might have sissy. She kept waving her hands thru the air and makin’ spittin’ sounds. It could’a flown in her mouth. So, I’s had to keep her safe. Ifin you hadn’t been hidin’ out you might’ve known what a pest he was bein’. Anyways, I’s thought we were gonna count our Blessings. Let’s get on with it, I’s wanna go finish mine’s brekky. 

 

Dezi:  Meowin’ of food Raena, did you know mommy signed us up fur some 30 day challenge? 

 

Raena gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Raena:  Yep sissy, I’s heard that. I’s hope it’s a challenge we’ll like. You know, we’re really Blest to be able to do things like this. Not every kitty in the world gets to try out new stuffs and toys and noms. That’s one of my fanky fankfuls this week. And, I’s know we mention havin’ a luvvin’ furever home a lot, but I’s think that’s a Blessin’ we should give fanky fanks fur every day. ‘Specially with all these storms we’ve been havin’. I’s wouldn’t wanna even think ‘bout havin’ to live outside in it. (Raena shudders

 

Dezi:  You’re right Raena. Havin’ a furever home is somethin’ to be fankful fur every day. As are our furiends and mommy. Our life’s purretty good from where me’s sittin’. Sure we have a few purroblems now and then, but mommy says that’s just pawrt of life. And, as long as we have each other, God and luv, there ain’t nuffin we can’t overcome. 

 

 

Raena sleeps in mommy's lap

 

 

 

          Raena:  You’ve got that right sissy. We luvs our furiends so much. We meow extra purrayers fur each of you every day. 

 

 

Dezi eats

 

 

 

Dezi:  Let’s wrap this up Raena. Me’s kind’a hungry too. 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 and meowsy big Thank you to all of you fur bein’ Blessings in ours. 

 

Raena sleeps in mommy's lap

I’s not sure what all this “easy” stuffs is, but this is what mine’s easy looks like.

 

 

 

          Raena:  And, as we do each week, we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies

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 

 

Dezi looks at Raena from atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          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? 

 

 

Dezi lays in mommy's lap getting love, selfie

 

 

 

 

          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!!!

Tell All Tuesday #ThunderShirt

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can you believe it’s stormin’…Again!. Let me tell ya’, outside showers aren’t the only ones we’ve had ‘round here. Kittens, You should’a seen it. I’s mean, it’s hard to believe ifin ya’ don’t actually witness it. But trust me, ya’ll oughtta be glad mommy wasn’t reachin’ fur the camera. (Raena shudders) Ugh It was sooooo gross. 

 

Dezi lays atop the cat tree selfie

 

 

 

          RaenaBelle, you’re ramblin’ on over there but nopawdy has a clue what you’re meowin’ ‘bout. 

 

Raena looks back from her dinner plate

 

 

 

Welllllll, You ought to sissy, that’s fur sure. I’s meowin’ ‘bout your purrjectile when mommy was tryin’ to talk to her counselor. What a disgustin’ mess. There we sat, mommy visitin’ with her counselor, me layin’ at mommy’s feet to purrtect her just in case and you layin’ on the liberty cat tree. We thought you were nappin’ when out of nowhere you hurled purrjectile hairballs from one side of the room to the other. (Raena shudders again and makes a wincing face) Ya’ know, ifin you’re gonna do somethin’ like that, you’re s’posed to warn us furst. Usually there’s the heavin’ and gulpin’ long befur the final blap. But nooooooo, you just hurled everywhere. Half digested brekky and furballs went everywhere, in mommy’s purrse, all over the tree, the catputer, our tunnel and toys, mommy and even me!!! 

 

Dezi wipes eyes while laying on the scratcher

 

 

 

          Me couldn’t help it Raena, it had to come out. Mommy’s counselor didn’t mind. All she said was, “Is that a hairball?” You know, she doesn’t have any kitties. But, she’s used to seein’ kitties do things durin’ her visits. ‘Member when she told mommy ‘bout that patient of hers that had a kitty who peed on his humans counter durin’ her visit? Least me didn’t do anythin’ like that. (Dezi licks her paw and rubs it across her face

 

That’s not the point sissy. (Raena shakes her head) Anyways, Meowin’ of feline behaviors, we need to meow ‘bout some behavior modifyin’ purroducts we received a couple of weeks ago from ThunderWorks. They’re the peeps that made the original ThunderShirt. They recently released some new purroducts, a pheremone plug in and pheremone spray, fur kitties and woofies. We received the Calming Spray and Calming Diffuser Kit fur kitties and also one fur woofies. Mommy was anxious to give ‘em a try cuz you decided to stop usin’ the pawtty box when mommy put that clay stuff in our pawtty boxes. And cuz it’s stormin’ season and mommy hates it when you hide out UTB all the time. 

 

          Me’s not hidin’ Raena!!! As fur the pawtty box, well that’s not your concern. That’s t’ween mommy and me. Anyways, me was curious ifin these Calmin’ purroducts would work any better than the others we’ve tried. Mommy immediately plugged in the diffuser and sprayed some of that Calmin’ Spray all over the cat tree, the bathroom and even down the hall. 

 

Raena poses with the ThundrEase Calming products

Is there somethin’ you need to tell us mommy? Are we gettin’ a woofie?

 

 

 

Yep sissy, we had a little flehmen contest goin’ on. Who could take in the biggest sniff. I’s don’t really need any behavior modification cuz I’s purrfect… 

 

          Oh Raena, you just lied…big time.

 

I’s did not, sissy. Mommy says I’s purrfect just the way I’s is. 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth open

 

 

 

          Just cuz mommy says you’re purrfect doesn’t mean everythin’ you do is right Raena. You layin’ on the pawtty box and whappin’ me’s tail might have a little somethin’ to do with me’s pawtty box habits too ya’ know. Anyways, mommy had hoped that the Thunder Ease purroducts would help us. The Diffuser contains 2% of feline facial pheremones and the Spray contains 10%. Facial pheremones are the feel good ones, so they’re s’posed to make us less stressed and more docile. Let’s see what @ThunderShirtCompany says ‘bout their Calming purroducts:  

 

Great for:

  • Urine spraying

  • Scratching

  • Travel anxiety such as vomiting, urinating, defecating, meowing, agitation, and salivation

  • Stress when visiting the vet

  • Anxiety when boarding

  • Uneasiness in a new home or environment

  • Stress caused by changes in the environment like new furniture or remodeling

  • New pets in the home

  • Recurrent Feline idiopathic cystitis

 

It all sounds great doesn’t it sissy? Ifin only it had actually worked. Mommy had high hopes, but alas, other than the initial sniffs we gave immediately following her spraying an area, nuffin’ else changed. While we’ve not had any luck with these kinds of purroducts, we know lots of kitties who do. Right now, you can get the Diffuser Kit fur $29.95 (reg. $44.95) or the Calming Spray fur $24.95 (reg. $29.95).

 

 

We received the ThunderEase Calming Diffuser Kit and Spray for free. As always, we tell it like we see it and only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and friends.

 

          Yeah Raena looks like it’s back to the drawin’ board fur us.

 

Raena lays on the scratcher and looks up

 

 

 

Fanky fankfully mommy thinks we’re purrfect, sissy. Guess we better go finish brekky befur the storms start again.

 

Have you tried any Calming products?

Is there one you like best or have better results with?

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 lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

          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?
