Tell All Tuesday: Purrsonalize Your Christmas

Raena:  Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s got so much to tell ya’, I’s don’t even know where to start. 

 

 

Dezi and Raena lay together on the floor

 

 

          Dezi: Well Raena, it’s usually bestest to start at the beginnin’. But, You can be a bit long winded, so we’d purrobably be here furever ifin ya’ did that. Why don’t you start somewhere in the middle. (Dezi giggles and whispers under her breath) Somewhere in the middle, that’ll keep her busy fur a while tryin’ to decide what’s in the middle. MOL  (Dezi thnks a minute and then asks) Why don’t you tell me what you have planned fur me’s pawrty and the holidays? 

 

Dezi's Venetian Carnival Birthday party invite

 

 

 

Oh sissy, I’s can’t hardly wait fur your pawrty. It’s gonna be so much fun. We’ve had several furiends already RSVP. I’s gotta tell ya’, we’ve got some really gawjus furiends. We’ve been asked ifin mardi gras masks are okay to wear. And the answer is Yes, fur sure. We did a search fur free Venetian/Rio Carnival masks clip art and Mardi Gras mask clip art and got tons of ready to wear results. I’s even picked out a great mask with a cool headdress fur you to wear sissy. You know, cuz you’re the Birthday/Gotchaday girl.  

 

          That’s really sweet of you Raena. (Dezi whispers) Sheesh, now me feels bad fur puttin’ me’s paw in the middle of her noms. 

 

Raena sits on cat perch looking like a diva

 

 

 

Hey sissy, did you hear mommy yesfurday? You know when she said she’d actually missed hearin’ your squeaky mew outside the pawtty box room wantin’ her to come and clean it? You know, cuz you usin’ the pawtty box has been a little hit and miss fur the last few months.

 

          No Raena, me didn’t hear that. But we all know why me’s didn’t always use it now, don’t we?. Me’s tryin’ to be unnerstandin’ now that we know you might be actin’ like a pain cuz you’re actually in pain. 

 

You sure have been nice to me lately sissy. I’s luvs you so much. Hey, did you see the cool Christmas decorations we got the other day? I’s luvs Christmas. I’s wish we could have Christmas every day, don’t you? 

 

 

Dezi lays on scratcher with mouth open

 

 

 

          Me did see ‘em Raena. Did you hear what mommy said ‘bout that teeny tree? 

 

I’s did sissy, but surely she was just jokin’. she wouldn’t deprive us of the fun of knockin’ the decoration of the tree by usin’ that small tabletop one. Right?

 

          Me don’t know Raena, she might. Ya’ know, it’s actually kind’a cute. It comes with it’s own decorations and a star fur the tippy top. 

 

Yeah, it is kind’a cute. Did you see the princess crowns mommy got with our names on ‘em? I’s like those the bestest.

 

Personalized for you ornaments

 

 

 

          Sure nuff Raena. Mommy even got a memory ornament fur me’s sis Lexi. We’d never heard of Personalized Ornaments for You befur bein’ contacted by one of their peeps. They gave us a gift certificate so we could try out their website and personalize our very own ornaments. 

 

Raena checks out personalized ornaments for you

 

 

 

Yep sissy, mommy says they have lots of really cute ornament ideas; and the personalization just makes them more special. She also said their prices are extremely reasonable. And even better, their site and the ordering process was a breeze. And they ship really fast too. So, ifin you’re lookin’ fur some great purrsonalized ornaments to put on your tree or to send as gifts this year, you should really check ‘em out. I’s fur sure give Personalized Ornaments for You 4 paws up.

Tell All Tuesday: Keeping The Gut Healthy #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s comin’ to ya’ live from the new swamp lands of Oklahoma. Just kitten. MOL  Altho’ there’s some floodin’ goin’ on, we’re not swampy…least not yet. And the better news is that sissy, has been hangin’ out with me and mommy ‘stead of hidin’ huntin’  UTB. 

 

 

Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree while Raena scratches her neck on the ledge below

 

 

 

          Me sure has Raena. Altho’, me’s thinkin’ you might wanna do some hidin’ UTB today. Me heard mommy say somethin’ ‘bout it bein’ your turn to go to the V-E-T. 

 

 

Raena sits on the table at the Vet's office

 

 

 

What are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy? I’s done went to the V-E-T this year. Don’t you ‘member? Mommy took me in cuz me’s eyes were all gunky. 

 

 

          Yeah, well, you didn’t get stabbed at that ‘pointment, did ya’? Cuz that’s the kind of ‘pointment you have today. Our State requires that we get a rabies shot every year or three, and your time’s up. 

 

Nooooooo!!! I’s don’t wanna go get stabbed and jabbed. Furiends, come save me, purrlease!!! 

 

Chewy Logo

 

          Hmmmmpht  Me doesn’t think anypawdy can save ya’ from this Raena. Befur ya’ go, let’s meow ‘bout the Fortiflora we got from Chewy this month. Ya’ know when mommy changed us over to raw food she started addin’ ProBiotics to our meals to help with keepin’ our guts healthy. But befur that, mommy added Fortiflora to me’s meals to help me switch from kibble to raw. See, peeps seem to think that it tastes like kibble and will fool us kitties. Me wasn’t fooled. Nope not fur even a minute. But hey, it tasted purretty good, so me obliged mommy and ate me’s new noms.

 

Fortiflora Probiotics

 

 

 

Really sissy? Is that what kibble tastes like? I’s never had kibble befur. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout it.

Mommy says it kind’a looks like blood when ya’ dissolve it in water. It’s a really fine brownish powder that gets sprinkled over a kitty or doggy’s noms.

 

Dezi sniffs the box of Fortiflora

 

 

 

          Me’s not so sure it makes us want to eat more, but it doesn’t make us turn our noses up at dinner either. It’s made by Purina and comes in 2 different sizes, 1) 30 count box or 6) 30 count boxes and costs $27.99 to $167.94. Accordin’ to the directions, kitty should get 1 whole packet daily. Mommy usually divides the packets t’ween us and our meals. We get a little over each meal. Me likes it just fine and gives it 3 paws up.  What ‘bout you Raena? 

 

Dezi and Raena eat out of their new dishes

 

 

 

It’s okay sissy. I’s give it a couple paws up too. Mommy says it’s a bit on the ‘spensive side considerin’ it’s only a 30 day supply fur one kitty. That means ifin ya’ give it as directed, it’s almost a dollar a day on top of the cost of kitties noms. So, mommy gives it one thumb up. As always, we give Chewy all paws and thumbs up. They have purroducts fur the whole family and offur speedy furee shippin’ on all orders $49.00 and up; as well as speedy flat rate shippin’ on all other orders.

Tell All Tuesday: Piddle Pads And Cat Diapers, Oh My

Raena:  Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Can anypawdy hear me over all these thunder boomers? Mommy, I’s don’t think anypawdy can hear me. (Raena looks around from her perch at the door and sees mommy taking photos of a very displeased Dezi.)  Sissy!!! What in the world are you wearin’ sissy?

 

 

Dezi layd in chair with diaper

 

 

 

          Dezi:  Nuffin!!! Me ain’t wearin’ nuffin’ but me’s furs Raena!!! Mommy get this thing off me, right now!!! Can’t you see it doesn’t fit? Me has too much tail floof. Besides, what self respectin’ kitty belle would wear such a thing? Me doesn’t care that it would be helpful. Me wishes you had known ‘bout it when sis Lexi was sick too. She would’a fur sure told you where to put it. Me can hear her now. The hissin’ and screamin’…it would’a been epic. What’s that? You think she would’a worn this, just cuz you asked her too? Well, guess we’ll never know. Me can tell ya’ that me will have to be one sick kitty befur you ever come near me with that thing again. Hmmmmpht 

 

 

Pet Parents Brand cat diapers

 

 

 

Sissy, you shouldn’t meow at mommy like that. (Raena sees mommy A heading her way with the diaper and runs.) Don’t you dare mommy!!! I’s a good girl. I’s use the pawtty box every single time. And I’s always try to make it to a piddle pad befur I’s hurl any hairballs. Meowin’ of, I’s know you’re happy that the new Washable Piddle Pads don’t move ‘round all over the floor, but I’s want mine’s slide back. What happened to the cheap plastic ones? 

 

Dezi sniffs diapers

 

 

 

          Well Raena, since you like to use them as slides, they don’t stay put and sometimes get all torn up. Mommy says they won’t absorb much if the piddle absorbing middle is shredded. So, when the peeps at the Pet Parent Brand reached out and offured to send us a couple of washable ones, mommy jumped on it. Me’s not sure why she thought we needed the diapers too tho’. Me’s not wearin’ those, they pinched me’s tail. 

 

Raena sits pretty in the hallwayYou can see how much nicer the Washable piddle pad I’s sittin’ on looks.

 

 

 

You do have a lotta fluff back there sissy. Mommy said she had to order by waist size and not tail floof. Anyways, they may come in handy someday. You know, you’re no spring kitty anymore.

          HiSssssssss  Watch it Raena, me’s still got it. Me ain’t that old. Anyways, the Piddle Pads and even the diapers are really well made. Mommy said she was really impurressed by them. They’re sturdy, nice and thick, very absorbent and washable. And mommy says they wash up really well too. No shrinkage or bleeding of colors.

Tell All Tuesday: Play Dates And Prayers #PranciesPrayer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Hurry, gather ‘round, our playdate guest will be here any minute now. (Raena frantically surveys her kingdom to make sure everything’s picked up and clean.  She wants her playdate to feel welcome)  Sissy, are you ready, Prancie’s gonna be here soon?. Why don’t you ask mommy ifin we can put some silvervine down on the scratchers. I’s bet Prancie would luvs that. 

 

Dezi plays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

          Raena, calm down. Me’s sure Prancie will have fun. Besides, we’re gonna have a story time with her new book. You know, the one awnty Ellen sent us to review. There’ll be purrlenty of time to play later. Now, help me set up our tunnel pawtal so she doesn’t smack into the door. (Dezi and Raena get the tunnel set up and have a quick bath before Prancie arrives. Suddenly they hear the swoosh of the portal) Hurry Raena, she’s here!!! 

 

Hey Prancie, good to see ya’ girl. How was your trip? Wanna lay down on the scratcher and rest a minute? We’ve been lookin’ furward… 

 

          RaenaBelle!!! Calm down, let her ketch her breath fur kittens sake. Sorry ‘bout her Prancie, she only has one speed and it’s full on all the time.

 

Dezi and Raena sit on floor looking at Prancie laying on cat scratcher

 

 

 

     No problem Dezi, there’s a few of those at my house too. With so many siblings, you can always count on mayhem. And in the 13 years I’ve lived at my house, I’ve seen it all. Thanks for inviting me over girls, I’m happy to be here. This scratcher is pretty comfy. 

 

It is, isn’t it Prancie. Besides mommy’s lap, it’s purrobably our next favorite seat. So, do have any besties at your house? 

 

     Well Raena, Phoebe and I hit it off right from the start. I pretty much get along with everybody, but yeah, I’d say Phoebe was my bestie. She is missed. (Prancie drifts off in memory for a minute)

 

Dezi lays in stroller looking at Prancies Prayer

 

 

 

          Let’s meow ‘bout your book fur a minute Prancie. We luvved readin’ your story. Altho’ me has to admit, it made us very sad that somepawdy could kick you out into the cold mean streets. We’re such pam-purred pusses, we can’t even ‘magine what you must’ve went thru.

 

     It was quite a shock to me too Dezi. It got so cold, and I was so hungry, I almost gave up. My ears were so cold and then they weren’t. Part of them died and fell off. It sure was a rough life. When I saw that manger with fresh hay part of me wanted to just curl up in it and die. But, when I saw the people who would become my forever family, a little spark of hope welled up inside me and gave me the strength to ask God and them for help.

 

Raena looks at Prancie's Prayer book commenting

 

 

 

Ooh Ooh, that’s mine’s second favorite pawrt, Prancie. Mine’s favoritest pawrt is when awnty Ellen and uncle David adopted you and let you stay with them. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree looking over at Prancie laying on cat tree

 

 

 

     Well Raena, my dad wasn’t my biggest cheerleader at first. But, I finally wrapped him around my paws. I’m a big daddy’s girl for sure. One of my favorite things is the chicken he feeds me off his plate. As you all would say, I’m one blest kitty, that’s for sure. 

 

Raena stands on cat tree looking at Prancie's Prayer book

I’s luvs the pics.

 

 

You sure are Prancie. I’s know sissy and me are so Blest to have you and your whole family as furiends. We think your ears give you character. We know ya’ll didn’t include the story of your ears in your book, but we’re glad you meowed ‘bout ‘em here. Peeps need to unnerstand, that just cuz we kitties have furs doesn’t mean we don’t get cold and suffer from weather the same as they would. We think your book would make a purrfect gift fur any occasion. And, with Christmas comin’ soon, we hope it makes it unner the tree fur lots of little humans.

 

Dezi and Prancie lay in the wheelchair chatting

 

 

 

          We should tell everypawdy where they can get their own copy girls. It’s available on amazon and Barnes and Noble fur $12.95. And, peeps can also order it directly from you and awnty Ellen at 15andMeowing.com fur $10.00. You can also get the kindle version fur $2.99.
