Blest Sunday: Blessings Floor To Ceiling And Beyond

Published on July 22, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.30 Comments

Dezi: MeOW HiSsssssssss RaenaBelle!!! Quit jumpin’ on me!!!

Raena: I’s didn’t jump on you sissy, I’s jumped over you. I’s was in a hurry to get to the purrch. I’s thought I’s saw somethin’ outside.

Dezi: Ya’ still need to stop. How many times has mommy told you to slow down Raena? Besides, it’s Blest Sunday and was time fur brekky. What ifin mommy had a been tryin’ to bring us our plates at that very minute? Y, All our food would’a ended up on the floor. We’re not heathens, we don’t eat off the floor.

Meow fur yourself sissy, sometimes I’s find all kinds of yummy things on the floor. Y, Just the other day mommy dropped a piece of cheese in the kitchen when she was makin’ her smashed tater with cheese. Ifin I’s hadn’t grabbed it up when I’s did, she would’a throwed it in the trash. What a waste that would’a been. I’s luvs me some cheese. Ya’ know our china platters are fine, but I’s not gonna miss an oppurr-tunity to eat me somethin’ tasty just cuz it’s not served with silver and gold trimmins. See, sometimes you can find Blessings on the floor. Just be careful it’s food and not a bug.

(Dezi shakes her head) Oh Raena, sometimes me just doesn’t know what to do with you.

Oh sissy, just luvs me. You know you were just like me once. Mommy says so. She says when you were young you couldn’t wait fur her to open the door in the meownin’ and put the purrch in front of it. She says you used to sit on it fur hours and chirp and chortle at anythin’ that came by.

Yeah Raena, me did. It seems so long ago now. It also seems like there was more to see back then. We used to have stray kitties and all kinds of wildlife play on our porch. It’s gotten so hot, ain’t nuffin’ outside doin’ much of anythin’. Y, just last night it was still 104°F at 9:30 p.m.. That’s just too hot.

Yep sissy, it is. You’d think the old bobcat and the coon family would be knockin’ on our door askin’ fur food. It’s gotta be too hot to hunt.

Me’s been wonderin’ where they were Raena. We haven’t seen either of ‘em all season. Maybe when it starts coolin’ off in a couple of months they’ll show up. Fankfully, we furinally got a new lease signed. Our rent went up $30.00, so mommy may have to put her dentures on hold fur a bit. It takes quite a bit of gas to get there every week and she’s been drivin’ on fumes the last couple times. With more money we don’t have goin’ to rent and nowhere to take green papers from, that drive is purretty much the only thing left to cut.

Well sissy, I’s guess that’ll give her more time to try to fix the mess the manager made and figger out what they can and can’t do befur it all starts again. Ya’ know the manager told mommy that they’re gonna be “rehabing” these ‘pawrtments soon and that they’re gonna wanna do a move out and then move us back in and start all this again in just a few months. Mommy told ‘em they couldn’t do that cuz she has a years lease, and utilities that be in her name that she has to pay each month. While she might not have had to put down a depawsit, those companies charge to turn it on and move it and stuffs. Not to mention the stress mommy’s just went thru. We fur sure can’t be doin’ this again that soon. We all need time to recupurrate.

Yeah Raena, the way they treat us just ain’t right. It’s not like we’re poor and need help by choice. And mommy certainly ain’t disabled by choice. Ifin mommy could change our situation, she would in a heartbeat. Our mommy ain’t afraid of work. Y, Befur her accident, she worked 2 and 3 jobs at a time to make sure she could affurd everythin’ she needed and wanted.

I’s heard sissy. She says she was young and dumb back then and didn’t save, so that’s why we’re in the shape we’re in now. Altho’ I’s know mommy wishes she could do more and could give us more, and had more money, I’s glad things happened the way they did. Y, ifin they hadn’t who knows where you and me would be? We might not have ever been saved?. I’s don’t even wanna think ‘bout what it would have been like ifin mommy hadn’t showed up and whisked me away to this Blest life.

Me neither, Raena, me neither. We might not be rich by the standards the world uses, but when it comes to luv, we’re bazillionaires.

You got that right sissy. We’ve got the bestest mommy ever, altho’ we know all of you think you’ve got the bestest pawrent, and that’s okay. And meowin’ of all of ya’, we can’t ‘magine a life without you.

Me’s oil painting selfie

We wouldn’t want to Raena. We have the bestest furiends in the whole universe. God smiled on us the day we met you, our dear furiends, and we ask Him each and every day to keep and Bless you and your families. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to stop and see ‘em.

So true sissy, so true. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go get us some mommy luvvin’. But furst, I’s wanna meow Fanky fank You God, fur all our blessings. And fanky fank all of you fur bein’ pawrt of our Blessings each day.

Me seconds that Raena. C’mon, me will race ya’ to mommy’s lap.

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

Chatting Cats: Raena’s Non Negotiable And A Q & A

Published on July 18, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s don’t like it when mommy’s stressed out. Do you know she passed out last night while we were in the middle of typin’ a comment to one of our furiends? Ifin that wasn’t bad enuff, no sooner did she come too, then she fell asleep right there in the sittin’ chair. Yep, mouth open, droolin’, snorin’ and all. She’s s’posed to come to the bed so we can give her a massage and snuggle up next to her. There’s not much room fur snugglin’ in the sittin’ chair. I’s don’t like it, I’s tell ya’, I’s just don’t.

Raena, me’s not sure mommy was actually droolin’, me’s purretty sure that was me.

Really sissy? Why would you be droolin’? It makes everythin’ all slobbery and wet. The sittin’ chair’s already got limited space and now you go and slobber all over it. Anyways…I’s just want things to get back to normal ‘round here. I’s need mine’s cuddle time with mommy, it’s a non-negotiable. She purromissed when she saved me that we’d always cuddle and I’s don’t want that to change.

Non-Negotiable Raena? Where’d you come up with that one?

From the teevee sissy. The show we watched the other day was askin’ peeps what non-negotiables they had fur their pawrtners. Mommy said that it meant what things they had to have or wouldn’t put up with. So, cuddlin’ is mine’s non-negotiable.

Well Raena, it also means that ifin you don’t get your non-negotiable, you won’t be stayin’ in that relationship. Are you ready to pack up and move out?

Leave mommy? ‘Course not!!! I’s would never leave mommy, and she purromissed she’d never leave me.

Well then, it’s not really a non-negotiable Raena. Maybe befur you go throwin’ ‘round human phrases, you need to know ‘zactly what they mean. Better yet, maybe you should quit watchin’ so much teevee. You’re startin’ to sound like those latch key kids that spend all their time in front of the boob tube or playin’ catputer games ‘stead of enjoyin’ life and the company of others. Ya’ know, we’ve got great nature teevee right out the front door you could watch.

That’s just a bunch of re-runs sissy. The same ole peeps doin’ the same ole things every day. It’s done gone and got too hot fur the birdies to do much other than hang out on the tree branches in the shade. I’s not seen one bunny in like, furever. No ducks or geese, Y, even the woofies are stayin’ inside, so what’s so great ‘bout nature teevee these days?

Well Raena, all me knows is that all that nonsense on human teevee isn’t good fur us kitties. Anyways, our furiend CK purrposed some innerview questions fur us the other day, so why don’t we take a minute and answer ‘em?

Okay sissy, that sounds like fun.

1. When did something start out badly for you, but in the end it was great?

Well, me thinks me can answer fur both of us on this one, Raena. Neither of us had a very good start in life. But since we met mommy, it couldn’t get any better.

2. What weird food combinations do you enjoy?

I’s can meow fur both of us on this one sissy. We don’t really eat combo foods. We like rabbit bestest.

3. What food have you never eaten but would like to try?

Me’s got this one Raena. Filet Mignon. Sis Lexi used to meow ‘bout it all the time. She said mommy brought some home once when she had a date and it just melted in her mouth.

A date, sissy? Our mommy went on a date?

Another time Raena. Let’s get back to the questions.

4. What food is delicious, but a pain to eat?

Mine’s turn sissy. I’s gotta say those bonito flakes take some getting’ used too.

5. What’s the most expensive thing you’ve ever broken?

Me will answer, Raena. After all, you’re the one who broke our furst stroller.

I’s purrfection purrsonified. MOL

6. What would a world populated by clones of you be like?

Hmmmpht Mommy said your big hiney had already broken it sissy. Anyways, a world full of clones of me? I’s an original and there could never be a copy equal to mine’s purrfection.

7. What smartfone feature would you be excited for a company to implement?

Who’s the laff a minute now Raena? Since we can’t actually use a smartfone we’d like to see a way fur kitties to actually get into ‘em. We could take compurrmisin’ fotos of mommy then. Me bets we’d get lots of treats in exchange fur not postin’ ’em. MOL

8. What’s something people don’t worry about but should?

I’s don’t care anythin’ ‘bout the smartfone sissy. As fur what humans should worry ‘bout, who knows? I’s just a kitty and mommy says kitties shouldn’t worry ‘bout human stuffs.

9. What was cool when you were young, but isn’t cool now?

Y, everythin’ ‘bout me will always be cool. Raena on the other paw…

10. If magic was real, what spell would you cast first?

We don’t purrticipate in spells and such. Bein’ Christians, we don’t believe in deception.

11. What’s the most comfortable bed or chair you’ve ever been in?

Me can answer this one fur both of us too, Raena. That’s so easy, mommy’s lap. Mommy’s lap is the most coveted seat in the house.

It sure is sissy. I’s think I’s gonna head there now. Fanky fanks fur the questions CK, we always luv learnin’ more ‘bout our furiends. Ifin you wanna purrticipate, just link back to CK’s bloggy. These kinds of things are always so much fun when lots of bloggers get in on the action.

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

Blest Sunday: National Cat Day

Published on October 29, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.20 Comments

MeOW Raena? Why is it that you think you need to take up the whole bed?

Meeee? What ‘bout you? Stretchin’ out and givin’ me the old whacky paw while I’s tryin’ to sleep?!!

Sleep? You scratched me while givin’ mommy a massage.

Well sissy, ifin you weren’t takin’ up the whole bed, you wouldn’t have gotten scratched.

That doesn’t even make any sense Raena. Have you been on the nip already this meownin’?

Girls, Be Nice. I need both of you next to me when I sleep. You know I can’t sleep without ya’. Now apologize and let’s get to your Blest Sunday posty.

Sorry mommy. Sorry Raena. Mommy’s right, we need to get to our Blest Sunday post. We’re blest to have a bed to lay on and stretch out on. We’re blest to have a furever home full of luv. We’re blest to have furiends and family that luv and suppurrt us.

I’s sorry too, sissy. We are very Blest. Hey, did you see mommy’s calendar? It says today is National Cat Day. I’s thought every day was Cat Day, so I’s pawed in to google and found out that National Cat Day started in 2005 to bring awareness to all the homeless kitties in the world. And, of course, to celebrate the luvs of a cat.

That’s true Raena. Me was just meowin’ ‘bout how Blest we are. There are thousands upon thousands of kitties who will never know the luv of a human or the warmth of their very own bed. Some will never even know the feelin’ of a full tummy. It makes us so sad to think ‘bout those kitties less furtunate than us. As most peeps know, we’re a purretty poor family when it comes to the green papers. But, we are teemin’ with luv. Ya’ know, me’s birthday is Wednesday. 7 years ago me was a sickly kitty who purrobably would have died ifin not fur mommy. We wish every kitty could have a luvvin’ furever home. There’s so much that can be done to help these kitties. Even ifin ya’ don’t have green papers.

Even mommy can take a decent foto every once in a while. MOL

Sure ‘nuff sissy. You can volunteer at a shelter or rescue, donate old towels, sheets, toys, cleanin’ supplies, food and so much more. Maybe, you’re good with the camera. You don’t have to be a purrfessional, just willin’ to donate a little time to take a few fotos of kitties waitin’ in shelters to be posted online. A good foto is worth a thousand words. And, it just might be the thing that helps get that kitty adopted. Or maybe ya’ got some energy to burn and can spend some time just playing with and socializin’ some kitties. A confident kitty stands a far better chance of getting’ adopted than one who cowers in their pawtty box.

Don’t furget those of us in social media Raena. We can all share, share and share some more. Ya’ never know who might see that post. Me knows mommy plans to spend some extra time with us today, just like she does every day. She says we celebrate cat day every day and she wouldn’t change it fur the world.

Blest kitties are we, sissy. I’s think you have a fanky fank ya’ to meow out too sissy.

Me sure does, Raena. Me wants to fank awnty Vonda fur sendin’ some green papers fur me’s birthday. Mommy says we need food and litter most, so she’s gonna put those green papers with hers to get us some. Awnty Vonda said that was fine, so long as mommy got us some special somethin’ with some of those green papers. So, mommy got us a new throw fur the bed. It’s soft and cozy warm. Fank you very much. And fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. Don’t furget to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life.

I’s wanna remind everypawdy to stop by and enter our give away fur that pawsum Kitty Kick Stix. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies with our plandids. Fanky fanks CK, we luvs that word. MOL

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

Chatting Cats: She Ain’t No Spring Chick

Published on October 4, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.21 Comments

Hey Raena, what are you doin’ in the stroller? It’s brekky time.

Well sissy, ‘member that physical therapist that was s’posed to come assess mommy last week fur the wheelchair? Turns out, he never planned to come here at all. He furinally called mommy really late and told her she had to come to him at the hospital. So, we’re headin’ there today. Fanky fankfully, he’s at the rehab hospital here next door to our ‘pawrtment complex. But still, it put the wheelchair on hold fur yet another week. As ifin there isn’t already enuff red tape and hoops to jump thru.

Yeah Raena, and me ‘members how upset mommy was after waitin’ all day on him to show up. But, ya’ll aren’t goin’ fur a while yet, so come eat. You know how mommy gets when she has to tell us to eat a hunnerd times each meal.

Yeah, she was cryin’ ‘bout that last night. Ya’ know, mommy feeds us really well. But, ‘pawrently it costs lots of green papers to buy. Mommy had thought ‘bout havin’ our auto ship go ahead and ship early, but she just couldn’t come up with enuff of those green papers. When she furinally got paid she hit the send now button on our noms. Unfurtunately, they’re comin’ from up North and won’t be here fur over a week. When she furinally realized that last night she called up Chewy to find out why they didn’t ship from the warehouse down the street. They didn’t have an answer other than the warehouse must not have had our noms in stock. Thinkin’ ‘bout us runnin’ outta noms, mommy started blubberin’ like a baby right there on the fone with the Chewy man.

We’re gonna run outta food Raena? Is that what you’re meowin’? You fur sure better come eat. Ifin you don’t, me just might have to eat yours too. Me can’t be missin’ any meals now. We’ve read ‘bout how our furiends just starve when their pawrents put ‘em on a diet. At least they’re still gettin’ somethin’. We’ll waste away to nuffin’ without noms.

Don’t worry sissy. Surely mommy will figger somethin’ out?. Maybe she can order some from amazon that’ll get here in a couple of days?

With what Raena? Her good looks? In case you hadn’t noticed, mommy ain’t no spring chick anymore. And me ain’t meowin’ ‘bout the kind with feathers. She’s got a few more wrinkles and rolls than she used to have. And besides, even ifin she still had all the curves in all the right places, ain’t nopawdy in the catputer fur her to flirt with.

That’s not very nice sissy. I’s gonna tell mommy you called her old, fat and wrinkly.

Do you think she doesn’t already know that Raena?

She might, but, she thinks we think she’s purrfect and gawjus.

We do tattle tail, but none of us are blind. And me was just meowin’ the facts. Now, why don’t you put some food in your mouth and keep it shut. (Mommy comes into the room with a fresh cup of coffee and Dezi saunters over and rubs against her and jumps in her lap purring loud enough to shake the picture frames on the wall) Me luvs you mommy.

(Raena jumps on the chair and tries to push Dezi over so she can also sit in mommy A’s lap. Dezi hisses and jumps down. Seeing Raena’s open breakfast plate, she moves in and starts eating. Raena nuzzles mommy and starts to purr loudly) I’s luvs you mommy. Are we gonna visit patients when we’re at the rehab hospital today? (Raena cleans her paw and notices Dezi eating all the rabbit from her plate) I’s better go eat befur sissy scarfs down all mine’s noms. Hey sissy, don’t eat all the rabbit. That’s mine’s favorite pawrt.

Hmmmpht You steal mommy’s lap and me will steal your rabbit… Wanna play befur you and mommy go out?

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