Chatting Cats: And The Catastrophes Just Keep Coming

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We got word this meownin’ from the last of our furiends in the path of those terrible hurricanes; that all are safe. What a relief!!! Seems there’s been some damage to purr-opurrty, but no damage to the peeps or anipals.

 

 Dezi leaves the chair

Ah Kittens!!! It’s the lawn crew. Better go check UTB fur intruders.

 

 

          (Dezi meows from down the hall because she heard the lawn crew and went to check fur intruders UTB <under the bed>) Me was so happy to hear that our furiends were safe Raena. We are so blest to have so many wonderful purrayin’ furiends.

 

 Raena lays on chair back looking down the hall

 

 

We sure are sissy. There’s gonna be a lot of clean up, repairs and relocatin’, but at least our furiends are still together and safe. So many peeps and anipals got separated in these storms. We’re purrayin’ really hard that everypawdy is reunited soon.

 

          (Still meowing from UTB) That we are Raena, that we are. What were you and mommy doin’ with the hood up on the car yesfurday?

Oh sissy, mommy’s so furustrated. We had to go to the store to get some more taters fur mommy and some more of that sticky stuffs to keep her teethies in her mouth. When we got home, we heard this bubblin’ and gurglin’ sound and then suddenly without any warnin’, the car started steamin’. ‘Pawrently water and somethin’ called coolant splattered everywhere and dumped out a puddle under the car. Mommy popped open the hood to take a look. (Raena rolls her eyes and snickers) Like she actually knew what she was lookin’ at. MOL  Mommy could see that most everything was wet. She shook her head and started cryin’. She told me how tired she was as she strolled me back to the house. I’s not sure mommy has much fight left in her sissy. We just can’t ever seem to get ahead of our own little catastrophes. I’s say, shame on that stinky car fur breakin’ again.

 

          (Dezi meows from the bedroom door as the lawn crew has moved to the other side of the purr-opurrty and quieted a bit) Well Raena, there is one up side to the car breakin’. Mommy had to cancel your VET ‘pointment and her teeth relinin’ ‘pointment. Without a car, she can’t very well get to Ardmore.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap

 

 

Well sissy, while I’s might not wanna go to the VET, I’s do know that it’s necessary sometimes. And fur sure, mommy needs to be able to get to the dentist office. We need to purray fur mommy and the car. I’s don’t know what mommy’s gonna do ‘bout the car, but she’s gotta figger out a way to have it checked out so we can at least know what it would cost to fix it. With the wheelchair broke and now the car too, we’re purretty much house bound. I’s purretty sure mommy’s depression is at an all time high.

 

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

          (Dezi meows from behind mommy’s sitting chair as the lawn crew is quiet and must be on a break) Me agrees Raena. Me just doesn’t unnerstand why things happen the way they do?. (Hearing the lawn crew start up again, Dezi runs back UTB and meows over her shoulder) Why don’t you give mommy some extra luvvin’ Raena. Me will take over when the lawn crew leaves.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap and gets loving

Ain’t nuffin’ better than mommy luvvin’.

 

 

I’s will sissy. But, you really need to get a grip. The lawn crew can’t get to you. You know mommy would never let anypawdy or anythin’ hurt you. I’s gonna go get some mommy luvvin’ now. When you decide to come out from UTB, maybe we can play.

 

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

Chatting Cats: Freeze Dried Mixers #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBele. I’s so worried ‘bout our furiends in the paths of these storms. I’s not a scaredy cat, but I’s don’t really care fur all the storms we have. They upset mine’s sissy, and that’s enuff to make me not like ‘em. But, mommy says our thunderstorms are nuffin’ compared to these hurricanes.

 

 Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

          Raena, how many times does me have to tell you, the storms don’t scare me? But me too is worried ‘bout all our furiends. Me’s thinkin’ these hurricanes just might scare us all. Me knows we’ve been purrayin’ hard fur everypawdy. Mommy says that Irma got a tad weaker, but she’s still goin’ strong and headed straight fur Florida and some our furiends. And, those in Texas are still realin’ from the hurricane that hit them. Me just wishes our world could stop with all the hate over pawlitical agenda’s and just ban together. 

 

 Raena lays on small perch and looks out at the rain

 

 

Me too sissy. Hey, do you think mommy might oughtta order some more noms fur us, just in case the folks at Chewy have to evacuate? Ya’ know, they’re offices are located in Florida too.

 

 Chewy Logo

 

 

          Yep Raena, me was just thinkin’ that too. Ya’ know, Chewy’s been doin’ their pawrt to help out the victim’s of these storms too. And, meowin’ of Chewy, we got some great mixers to review this month. As most peeps know, we eat a freeze dried raw diet and luv it. Mommy says it’s the bestest thing she’s done fur us in a long time. We’re happier and healthier than ever. But, she also says it’s kind’a ‘spensive, so anytime we get the oppurrtunity to try a freeze dried raw purroduct, we jump at it.

 

 

 

This is a sponsored post. We received the Instinct Rawboost Mixers in exchange fur our honest review. As always, we tell it like we see it. Neither Chewy or Instinct is responsible for the opinions expressed in this post unless otherwise stated. We only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and furiends.

Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

I’s luvs the raw food we eat sissy, and I’s luvs tryin’ out new flavors and brands of freeze dried raw. Knowin’ how much we like rabbit, mommy couldn’t wait to order the Instinct Rawboost Mixers fur us. They come in 6 ounce bags of chicken or rabbit and cost $11.99 and $13.99. Now, ya’ need to ‘member, these are meant to be added to your kitties regular food, as they’re not a balanced food. That bein’ said, let’s see what Chewy says ‘bout the Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

          The ingredients look purretty good Raena. There’s none of those questionable ingredients our humans like to avoid. Now, the instructions suggest adding these mixers to the top of kitty’s food to entice them to eat more. However, since they’re not a balanced food item, mommy likes to put them on the bottom of our plate so they’re the last thing we eat. You know, kinda like you humans have a dessert after a meal, we get a tasty little treat at the end of our meal. We’ve had these befur, but Instinct has made some changes to the packagin’ and the size of the nibblets. Mommy used to have to cut/break them in half to make a bite sized piece, but, they’re now small enuff to add to our food without any cuttin’ or breakin’. They are kind’a dense and hard and don’t soak up water quite as fast as our regular noms, so mommy suggests usin’ warm water and waitin’ a few extra minutes befur servin’. Fur those reasons and the tastyness of them, me gives them 3 paws up. 

 

 Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

Great points sissy. I’s think the Instinct Rawboost Rabbit Mixers are purretty tasty too. And I’s agree they’re a nice bite size right outta the bag now. I’s give ‘em 3 paws up too. Mommy says she’s happy with the ingredients and that we both seem to like them. Mommy says they’re not cheap, but nuffin’ freeze dried is. Mommy said she wishes they were ingredient balanced so they could be served as a complete meal, but, they do make a nice occasional addition to our regular noms. So, mommy gives ‘em a thumb up too.

 

 Raena eats Core shreds

 

 

As fur Chewy, we give them an all paws up as usual. Great purroducts at great purrices and speedy free shippin’ always make us happy. You can also set up an auto ship so you never run out of your pet’s favorites. Don’t worry, you can always skip, cancel or delay at anytime. You can also make changes by addin’ or removin’ items up till the day befur your auto ship order ships. And, Chewy customer service is great. And, like we said earlier, they’re doin’ their pawrt to help all those affected by these horrible storms. So, head on over and check ‘em out. You know you wanna try these mixers too.

          C’mon Raena, let’s go play. Mommy says we’re gonna have to help her clean house, cuz we have a surpurrise comin’ next weekend.  

 

Right behind ya’ sissy. I’s can’t wait to find out what our surpurrise is.

Chatting Cats: Breakfast Is Comin’

(While leading the way down the hall to the kitchen, Dezi hears the familiar buzz of the lawn crew. She stops dead in her tracks and looks back at mommy crawling along behind her and then back towards the front door.)  It’s okay sweety, keep goin’ it’s just the lawn crew. Let’s get to the kitchen and get ya’ll some breakfast. 

 

Dezi licks lip as she looks around the corner from the dining room

 

          (Getting agitated at the hold up and wanting to look out the door, Raena walks passed mommy and nudges Dezi. Dezi and Raena touch noses and Raena stands on her back legs and puts a paw out to Dezi.) C’mon sissy, I’s hungry and I’s wanna see what they’re doin’.

 

     (Dezi hisses and begins to slowly walk towards the kitchen again. Raena steps back beside mommy and nudges mommy a few times) Me better get some extra luvvin’ today. That’s all me’s sayin’. 

 

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

 

 

(Once they all get to the kitchen and mommy starts making the girls breakfast, she starts to sing one of her made up songs to the tune of Christmas time is comin’) Breakfast time is comin’, breakfast time is comin’, breakfast time is comin’ and it won’t be very long… Dezi and Raena eatin’, Dezi and Raena eatin’, Dezi and Raena eatin’, their breakfast till it’s gone… Lovin’ Dezi and Raena, I’m lovin’ Dezi and Raena, I’m lovin’ my Dezi and Raena, Dezi and RaenaBelle… Don’t worry ‘bout the lawn crew, don’t worry ‘bout the lawn crew, don’t worry ‘bout the lawn crew, cuz soon they will be gone. 

 

     (Dezi sits uneasily while watching and listening to mommy repeat the snappy little tune over and over again. Raena walks over and they touch noses again, just as the lawn crew comes up on the porch with the loud leaf blower) Hisssssssss

 

(Dezi runs down the hall and then back to the kitchen where she rubs against mommy’s legs)  It’s okay Dezi. C’mon, breakfast is ready. (Mommy puts the girls breakfast plates down, sits in the sitting chair and starts drinking her coffee. Dezi starts eating while Raena goes to the door to look out at the lawn crew and have a little bath)

 

Dezi eating

 

     Raena, you better come eat your breakfast or mommy’s gonna be mad. 

 

 Raena bathes while sitting on the perch in front of door

 

 

          I’s wanna watch all the commotion. Besides, mommy doesn’t get mad at us, no matter what we do. 

 

     Maybe not mad, but she does get upset when she has to tell us to eat a billion times each meal.

 

          Why do ya’ reckon she does that sissy. I’s might wanna graze a bit and take mine’s time. She says eatin’ slow is good fur your digestion.

 

     Yeah Raena, but slow doesn’t mean 3 hours. Anyways, while you were watchin’ the chatter box last night, did you hear ‘bout the new hurricane swirlin’ ‘round out there?

 

 Raena sits on cat tree looking up at Dezi

 

 

          I’s sure did sissy. And, I’s even sat in mommy’s lap while we looked online at all the displaced anipals. It’s so sad that so many anipals have been separated from their families and lost their homes. I’s can’t even ‘magine how they must feel. I’s get scared when mommy goes to the trash without me. 

 

     Yeah Raena, me might enjoy havin’ a little alone time when you and mommy go out, but me’s always glad when ya’ll get back home. Me’s so worried ‘bout our furiends in the path of these horrible storms. We’re fur sure purrayin’ hard that they’re all safe and stay together.

 

 Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

          We sure are sissy. And, did you know there are sites where peeps can go to help out with donations and other things? We read where a lot of peeps from far away are volunteerin’ to foster, or come down to help with the clean up and so much more. It’s times like these that make me so purroud of the human race. With all that’s goin’ on and all the dissension in the world, it’s nice to know, we can all come together in a crisis. There are so many places that we can’t list them all. But you can check those listings here, ifin you’d like to help.

 

 Dezi walks toward the food bowl while looking back at Raena not in foto

 

 

     Fanks fur tellin’ everypawdy where they can go to help Raena. And fur those that can’t help physically, you can always purray. Purrayer does change things and helps a lot. And, ‘member to make sure your pets are microchipped and/or have some form of identification on them at all times. You never wanna find yourself in a situation where you’re separated with no hope of ever being reunited. Well, we better go finish brekky now that the lawn crew’s gone.  

 

Do you have a plan in the event you get separated from your furry family members?

Are your pets microchipped?

Blest Sunday: Living the Life

Hey Raena, hurry, we need to write our Blest Sunday posty.

 

Raena lounges on perch and watches the rain out the front door

 

          I’s comin’ sissy, I’s was watchin’ a squirrel out the door. Did you see him come up to the door and taunt me? He threw a rock at me.

 

 Dezi looks outside from the cat tree

 

 

Yeah, me saw him Raena, but that wasn’t a rock. It sounded like a rock, but it was really one of those nuts from those trees outside. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          Rock, nut, either way, he was makin’ fun of me. He should be real careful ‘bout doin’ that. After all, I’s the mighty huntress of buffalo and giraffes and monkeys.

 

 Raena gets close to the TV

 

 

Sure you are Raena, sure you are. Me bets that squirrel is shakin’ in his fur. Anyways, we need to fank all our furiends fur purrayin’ fur us. You know how sick we were the week befur last. Mommy was even considerin’ takin’ us to the house of horrors VET. Neither of us wanted any pawrt of that. But, me does have to say, me felt so bad, me was actually thinkin’ that mommy was right and we needed to see somepawdy ‘bout our purroblem. Fankfully, all our furiends banded together to purray fur us, and we started feelin’ better right away.

 

          We sure did, sissy. I’s sooooooooooooo glad our tummy rumbles are gone and we’re back to normal again. I’s also glad mommy gave you one last bath. you really smelled bad. 

 

Hey, Grrrrrrrrr  That’s not very nice. 

 

 

          It may not be nice sissy, but it’s the truth. Mommy says we both stank and needed a good bath. I’s felt lots better after mine’s bath. And, mine’s fur looked so purretty and floofy. You know, us girly’s gotta take care of ourselves. A little purrimpin’ and purreenin’ never hurt anykitty. 

 

 Dezi lays on the bed

 

 

Yeah Raena, me felt better after me’s bath too. And, after rollin’ ‘round on mommy and the purrfumed sweet smellin’ sheets, we smelled like girls again. 

 

          Meowin’ of feelin’ better, mommy’s feelin’ better too sissy. Her gums are still healin’, but she’s feelin’ so much better. And, she’s getting’ better with those new teethies. She’s graduated from smashed taters to baked taters and other soft like foods like pasta.

 

 Gift box with cheez-it, bread, pb crakers, and pasta sauce

 

 

Yep Raena, and she was some kind’a x’cited when she received a couple boxes this week from one of our Angels. You know how much mommy likes Cheez-its and M & M’s. Mommy was so x’cited she couldn’t wait to try out her new teethies on those Cheez-it crackers.

 

 Sharp Cheddar Cheese gift

 

 

          Did you see the cooler box sissy? It had real live sharp cheddar cheese in it. I’s sure hope mommy gives me a bite. And I’s don’t know who’s more x’cited ‘bout the Apple Zings, you or mommy?. Mommy said she couldn’t wait till she could eat cold cereal again. 

 

 Apple Zings gift

 

 

Yeah Raena, me likes those Apple Zings too. They’re so much fun to bat ‘round the house. And every once in a while mommy will drop one that’s all soft and full of milk. Since us kitties are lactose intolerant, we don’t get much milk ‘round here. So, a squishy Apple Zing is a really nice treat. 

 

Large bag of M & M's

 

          Really? in that case, I’s can’t wait to try ‘em. Fanky fank you sweet Angels, we really do purreciate ya’ll sendin’ mommy some yummy noms. Mommy’s cookin’ up that turkey tom lurkey today, and she plans to make some sammiches with that pawsum bread. And I’s can’t wait fur her to eat some of those peanut butter crackers. I’s sure do like peanut butter. 

 

 Turkey Breast

 

 

Me too Raena. Turkey tom lurkey and peanut butter…what a life. We are such blest kitties. And mommy says we have another surpurrise comin’ our way in a couple weeks. Me can’t wait to see what it is.

 

          Another surpurrise? When did you hear that sissy? What do ya’ reckon it is? 

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Ifin me knew Raena, it wouldn’t be a surpurrise. Just know that it’s gotta be good cuz mommy’s x’cited and said we gotta clean house. We are so fankful fur all our furiends. Ya’ll are just the bestest. As always, we wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. 

 

 Raena sits in amazon box

 

 

          Hey sissy, this weekend is a long one, cuz of a holiday. We also wanna remind everypawdy to be safe and don’t drink and drive. And ‘member, us anipals don’t always enjoy human celebrations. So, ifin you’re hostin’ a pawrty, make sure we have a quiet place to get away from all the commotion and festivities.

 

Good job Raena. Now, let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go play.

 

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