Blest Sunday: The Stabby Place Is Not…

Oh MeOW, what a week we had. Me really wants to fank all of you who worried ‘bout what was wrong with me at Raena’s Gotchaday pawrty. Me’s fine. Unfurtunately, it’s lease re-cert time and that means it’s also V-E-T checkup time fur me. Who knew? When mommy took sis Raena the day befur fur her Gotchaday surprises, she meowed all ‘bout the fun they had; and how they went to the Petco and Wally world to get us some special treats and toys. You know, a real fun mommy and me day out. So, when mommy said it was me’s turn fur a day out, me never guessed she meant we were goin’ to the stabby place. The stabby place is not a mommy and me event!!! Mommy and me days are s’posed to be all ‘bout the fun.

          I’s sorry you had to go to the stabby place sissy. I’s went with mommy to her dentist ‘pointment. That was no fun fur sure. But I’s’ll tell everypawdy ‘bout that later this week. I’s sure everypawdy wants to hear your mews today.

 

 Dezi on the floor at the vets

Hmmmmm Now how does me get all the way up there?

 

Yeah right. None of us really enjoy the stabby place Raena, so me’s sure everypawdy reeeeeally wants to hear all ‘bout it. Hmmmpht  At least it didn’t take long. Once we got there that is. What was up with you tryin’ to horn in on me’s day out with mommy?

 

 Dezi lays on counter at vet office

Guess it wasn’t as cool as it looked.

 

          Sorry sissy. I’s just didn’t wanna miss anythin’. Ya’ know, I’s do most of the goin’ these days, and when mommy got you all harnessed up and in the stroller, I’s was sure I’s was gonna be next. But, when mommy said I’s wasn’t goin’, it made me sad. So, I’s thought ifin I’s could somehow get in the stroller with ya’, she’d have to take me too. Who knew ya’ll were goin’ to the stabby place. I’s wouldn’t have tried so hard ifin I’s had known that.

 

 Dezi on the exam table at the vet

Me wonders ifin me could make dat jump.

 

Well, like me said, once there, it didn’t take long. Altho’ mommy did bring up me’s paw issue. See, there’s this place on me’s front ankles that sometimes feels really sharp and has actually cut mommy a time or two. ‘Course, me doesn’t mean to hurt her, but she never could figger out what it was cuz of all the fur; and, me doesn’t like anypawdy messin’ with me’s paws. So, she asked the V-E-T to take a look. It seems, me has an extra toe and small claw on both me’s front paws up ‘round me’s ankles. They’re useless cuz of where they’re located, but they’re there just the same. You’ll have to s’cuse the foto, it’s hard to see ‘em, but fur sure me has ‘em on both sides. They don’t seem to bother me most of the time. Occassionally mommy sees me bitin’ at ‘em with a vengeance, but most of the time, me doesn’t pay them any mind.

 

 Dezi's extra claw on ankle

You can barely see it, but me has an extra toe and claw at

the back of me’s paw. I’s have one on each front paw.

 

          I’s glad those extra claws don’t bother ya’ sissy. Do you reckon I’s have ‘em too?

 

 Dezi sits on exam table at vet office

He ain’t comin’ back right? We can leave now?

 

No Raena, me’s special that way. Anyways, me gained a little weight. As most of ya’ know, we eat the Primal Freeze dried noms and luv ‘em. Well, they recently added duck and rabbit fur us felines. You know we luv us some duck, and we luv the rabbit just as much. So, as soon as mommy got us some, we’ve been eatin’ like the queens we are. Ifin ya’ haven’t tried ‘em yet, you oughtta think ‘bout it. We’re not bein’ compensated fur this, we just thought ya’ might be innerested. Anyways, cuz of the new yummy noms, me’s gained a bit of weight since last year. But other than that, me’s a healthy girly; and even with the extra weight, me’s not overweight. And, we furinally got to go to the Petco.

          Did you get to play on the cat scratchers too sissy? I’s thought that was great fun.

 

 Close up of Dezi among the cat scratchers at petco

 

Yeah Raena, me could still smell you from the day befur. We also met a lady who had just got her furst ever kitten. He was born in their barn and had a bad eye, so she decided to rescue him and take him in the house. Ya’ know, so he wouldn’t get eaten by some big purredator outside. She was plannin’ to have him declawed, so mommy made sure to ‘splain all ‘bout declawin’ and how to have a happy kitty with claws. We’ve got our paws crossed she took it to heart and doesn’t go thru with the declawin’.

 

          Oh sissy, I’s sure hope so. I’s can’t ‘magine not havin’ mine’s claws.

 

Me neither Raena, me neither. Befur mommy and me left town she took me to the Mickey D’s to get a bacon burger. You’ll never guess what happened. Can ya’ guess? No? We got a huge blessin’. Sure nuff, the car in front of us paid fur our order. Was that not the nicest thing ever?

          That sure was a blessing sissy. Ya’ know, we are so very blest each and every day. Me’s Gotchaday pawrty was so much fun. And, it’s like, all our furiends came. I’s got purresents and green papers. Fanky fanks to Timmy, uncle Pete, Einstein, Fitz, Toby, Buddy, Rumpy, Buttons, awnty Vonda, and Erin and her peep.  And look’it all the pawsum cards I’s got.

Yep Raena, we’re very blest. We better wrap this up and finish our brekky befur church.

          Okay sissy. Let’s not furget to link up fur Sunday selfies with the Kitties Blue furst. And while we’re fankin’, we’d like to say a meowsy big fanky fank ya’ to those angels from last year who helped us get the air conditioner workin’ in the car again. It’s gotten really hot here, and we really ‘purreciated that a/c when we were out with mommy fur our fun in the sun days. No pantin’ was done by either of us.

 

 

 Dezi in chair at the vet office

 

Fur sure Raena. The ride was nice and cool. We also wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. We are blest to have all of you in our lives. We’re blest to have a furever home where we’re luvved, adored and spoiled rotten. We could go on and on meowin’ ‘bout our blessings, but fur now, we’ll just say a meowsy big Fank you. And always ‘member, the stabby place is not a mommy and me event!!!  

 

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

Blest Sunday: Chatty Cats Plan A Party

Welcome to a very special Blest Sunday. What makes it special, you ask?

 

 Dezi watches Raena atop the Liberty cat tree

 

          Yeah sissy, what makes this Blest Sunday so special? 

 

Me’s so glad you asked. It’s special cuz you’re here. All our furiends are here, and that makes everythin’ purrfect.

 

 Dezi looks at Raena at the top of the Liberty cat tree

 

          I’s thought you meant me, sissy?.

 

 Dezi looks up at Raena while Raena looks off in the distance from atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Me does Raena. You’re special too. As most peeps know by now, we only post on Monday, Wednesday, Furiday and of course, on Blest Sunday. And this year, your furst year here with mommy and me, your Gotchaday is on a Fursday. We wanna throw you a pawsum Gotchaday pawrty, Raena; but we don’t normally post on Fursdays. And, this week in purrticular is gonna be a busy one fur mommy. So, since we celebrate Birthday’s and Gotchaday’s all month long, we’ve decided to have your pawrty on Furiday the 9th. And, guess what? 

 

          What sissy? What’s better than a pawrty weekend?

 

 Dezi looks up at Raena atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Everypawdy’s invited!!! All our furiends and awnties and uncles, and yes, Simon. 

 

          Oh sissy, that’s pawsum!!! I’s can’t hardly wait. But sissy, why’s mommy gonna be so busy this week? Is she gonna have time to purrpare fur mine’s pawrty?

 

 Dezi sniffs tree ledge while Raena watches her

 

Well Raena, mommy has her regular monthly doctor’s ‘pointment on Monday, and then a dentist ‘pointment on Fursday. And, it’s time fur us to recertify our lease, so mommy has to get all our papers and stuffs in order so she can turn ‘em in on time. Ya’ know, so we can have a place to live fur another year.

 

          Is that why mommy’s been so stressed lately?  And who’s gonna go with mommy to her ‘pointments? 

 

 Dezi and Raena look at the ceiling from the Liberty cat tree

 

Yes, Raena, lease re-cert always makes mommy stressed. She says they keep wantin’ to invade our purrivacy more and more each year. Mommy says it sometimes makes her feel like a trained seal; jump thru this hoop, and now this one. And, don’t furget to smile and be grateful the whole time; cuz don’ch’a know at the end, you’ll have this meowvelous 400 sq. ft. ‘partment where we’re gonna bug ya’ to death with inspections. As fur those ‘pointments, it’s s’posed to storm all week, so you’ll be the one accompanyin’ mommy. Besides, since mommy’s dental ‘pointment is on your Gotchaday, mommy said ya’ll would be goin’ somewhere special so you can get a supurr special treat. Mommy purromissed to bring somethin’ special home fur me too. 

 

          Really sissy? I’s gonna get a supurr special treat? (Raena gets excited and starts spinning around) Now I’s really can’t wait!!! 

 

 Dezi looks up at Raena and hisses on the liberty cat tree

 

Well Raena, you’re gonna have to wait a few more days. By the way, one of our newer furiends said they didn’t know what a Gotchaday was. We ‘member bein’ new to the innernets once and not knowin’ ‘bout Gotchadays too, so we thought we should ‘splain. A Gotchaday is the day a rescued furry goes to live in their furever home. It can also be called an Adoptaversary, Adoption Day or in some cases, it’s the day your humans have decided to make your Birthday. Offen, peeps don’t know the actual birthday of their beluvved furry, so they will just assign a day to celebrate.

 

          And that’s okay too sissy. Whatever day you celebrate your furry, is the purrfect day.

 

 Dezi looks our window and Raena lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Sure ‘nuff Raena. One of the reasons we celebrate all month long is that mommy rarely has money on our special day; so she figgers ifin we celebrate all month, surely at some point in that month she’ll have enuff green papers to buy us a little somethin’ special. Even ifin it’s just a bag of cheap treats or a dollar mousey from the dollar store. So, every day is a special day in our house. 

 

          I’s like that sissy. It also means, lots of extra cuddles and luvvin’ all month long. I’s did hear mommy sayin’ that we were gonna be goin’ to her favorite beauty store, Ulta, this week.

Me heard that too, Raena. Fanks to awnty Ellen who sent mommy a gift card, she can actually buy somethin’ this trip.

 

Snowball in ball gown

          Yep sissy, mommy must’ve cried a million tears when she got that gift card. Knowin’ that awnty Ellen had been dealin’ with Snowball’s illness and then sudden loss, and yet, she was still thinkin’ ‘bout mommy’s special day. 

 

Ya’ know Raena, we luv all our furiends so very much, and purray fur them every day. It broke our hearts when Snowball went to heaven, just like with all our furiends who have joined me’s sis Lexi. We just don’t unnerstand why these things have to happen.

 

 Raena lays on nip mat

 

          I’s fur sure don’t unnerstand it sissy. But maybe it’s cuz God knows there’s another furry out there who needs you more. So, He has to make an openin’ and takes the one who is sufferin’ the most to be with Him. We all know, that once ya’ leave this world, you return to your once purrfect state. There’s no more pain, sickness, or old age. I’s know you and mommy really miss Lexi (God rest her), but ifin she hadn’t gone to heaven, who knows where I’s might have been?. 

 

 Raena with the cheese and mac noodles from MAnonymous

 

Yep, Raena, that’s so true. Anyways, as much as mommy and me miss Lexi, we luv you very much and are really glad you’re pawrt of our furmily now. We should also say a meowsy big fank you to awnty Anonymous fur givin’ mommy some green papers fur her birthday, and sendin’ her some more of that powdered cheese and mac noodles. She even told mommy more of that shelf milk to make it up with was on it’s way.

 

          Oh sissy, we are so blest to have so much.

 

That’s true, Raena. We are blest indeed. We give fanks fur all of our furiends, and ask God to bless ya’ll beyond your dreams. We also wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. 

 

          Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and see ifin we can get mommy to give us some of those treats.

 

 Dezi, watches RAena walk off the Liberty cat tree

 

Me’s with ya’ Raena. Me does wanna tell everypawdy that cuz of all the lease stuffs and mommy’s ‘pointments this week, we’re gonna be takin’ most of this week off. We will of course be back to celebrate Raena’s Gotchaday on Furiday, and we hope all of you will join us.

 

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

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats: In The Dark

Raena, hurry up!!! We gotta write this post while the power’s on.

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

          I’s comin’ sissy. I’s had to go to the pawdee box. Mommy wouldn’t have been very happy with me ifin she’d stepped in a piddle puddle; ‘specially ifin the power was off and she couldn’t see it. What’s up with the power anyways? 

 

 Dezi and Raena on Liberty Cat Tree

 

It’s the storms Raena.

 

          Well I’s don’t know ‘bout you sissy, but I’s could do without that all these storms. And I’s fur sure don’t like it when the power goes off. It’s really dark…AND HOT!!! 

 

 Dezi and Raena laying on the Liberty cat tee

 

Well Raena, me could do without the storms too. As fur the heat, it’s summer now. It’s only gonna get hotter.

 

          Hotter than a 110°? I’s don’t know how it could be 110° and stormin’ at the same time. That was just crazy!!!

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty Cat Tree

 

Yeah Raena, that baffled me a bit too. At least we were able to give mommy lots of extra cuddles fur her birthday. It may have been hot, and stormin’, and dark; ‘specially without the power. But, we really are blest kitties to have a luvvin’ home and mommy. While it was thunderin’ and lightnin’, and the rain and hail was fallin’, we were cuddled up safe and sound with mommy.

 

 Raena lays on shower bench

 

          You’re right sissy. Mommy said she was so purroud of you fur not spendin’ the day UTB. She was also grateful, cuz she had thought the storms weren’t due till late last night and had already ordered mine’s birthday pizza awnty Anonymous sent me.

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Uh, yeah. Me ain’t missin’ out on pizza Raena. Was that the furst pizza you’ve ever had?

 

 Raena lays on shower bench

 

           Nope, I’s had some at your birthday last year sissy. I’s luvs pizza. Mommy got her some free breadsticks fur bein’ a part of the Pizza Hut birthday purrogram, so we all had somethin’ yummy to eat in the dark.

 

 

 Raena with the Garfield litter gift

 

 

We sure did. We also wanna fank awnty Vonda and awnty Petal fur sendin’ mommy some green papers fur her birthday. Awnty Vonda told mommy, it was “whatever” money. She doesn’t get that kind of money very offen, so she’s gonna think long and hard ‘bout what to get with it.

 

 

 Raena with 3 bags of Garfield litter

 

          We got a box too Dezi. We don’t know who sent it or why, but we sure were in some serious need of kitty litter. So we really purreciate the 3 bags of Garfield kitty litter we received. Fanky fank ya’, whoever you are.

 

 Raena lays on shower bench and watches mommy pour litter in litter boxes

Don’t furget to put some o’ dat litter in the other box too mommy.

 

We are Raena. We didn’t get to play with the box, cuz mommy tore it apart lookin’ fur anythin’ that said who sent it. We hadn’t mentioned to anypawdy that we were runnin’ really low, so we were all kind’a shocked when mommy opened the box. We have the bestest furiends in the Universe!!!

 

 Raena lays on shower bench and looks into bedroom

 

          We sure do sissy. (Thunder claps outside and the power flashes off and back on again) Fanky fank the cats, the catputer saved our posty. We better wrap this up befur mommy or the weather shuts us down again.

 

 Dezi lays in the house on the Liberty cat tree

 

Yep Raena, me has a date anywhere away from the windows. We really are blest to have so much. We wanna remind you all to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. We will be skippin’ our regular Service Cat Monday posty tomorrow, as it’s Memorial day, and you all know how patriotic we are, and grateful fur all those who serve and have served our country to ensure our freedoms and safety. But don’t worry, we’ll be back to our regular schedule next week. We’re dealin’ with “Aggression” right now, and you don’t wanna miss it.

 

 Raena looks at mommy from stroller

          Mommy’s full of great tips and tricks, so we do hope everypawdy is enjoyin’ and/or learnin’ from our posty’s. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and finish eatin’ our brekky while we still have power sissy. We’ll be ‘round to visit, as soon as we can.

Blest Sunday: The Storm Moved Inside the House

MeOW!!! It’s furinally Blest Sunday!!! Kittens!!! Have we had the weather or what? Ya’ know, several peeps have asked us ifin this is “Normal”?

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          Yep sissy, and several peeps have said we seem to have a lot of storms. Mommy says, ya’ think with all the storms we have you’d have learned not to be ‘fraid by now.

 

 Dezi looks over the edge of the cat tree

 

Me told you, me’s not ‘fraid Raena, me’s bein’ safe and doin’ what the weather guessers say to do durin’ the storms. You know, we had car, home, peeps and animal damagin’ hail, winds and tornadoes the other day.

 

hail on the sidewalk
It was really dark outside, so we tried to lighten the foto as much as we could. Most of the pieces are broken, but you get the idea.

 

          Yeah sissy, I’s never seen anythin’ like it befur. And where was mommy?

 

 

Oh Raena, me can’t believe she was out there tryin’ to take fotos of the hail. The weather guessers said it was the size of golf balls, and mommy was out there tryin’ to figger out how to get a foto without getting’ hit.

 

 Piece of hail beside a quarter

 

          Yep sissy, and it was really dark out too. Every time the hail would hit the ground it would shatter. Mommy furinally got the broom out and tried draggin’ a piece to her. By the time she got it up to the door, it had melted down to the size of a quarter.

 

Maybe Raena, but it was still dangerous. The truth is, this is storm season fur us, so this weather is purretty much “normal”. Altho’ the last couple of years the storm season does seem to last a bit longer. Mommy says, it may only seem like it, cuz we’re now on the cat puter. Or we would be ifin it wasn’t stormin’. We got our furst real break in the storm yesfurday, and was tryin’ to visit our furiends a bit, and then mommy had a really bad fall. The storms may have broken outside, but inside, it was ragin’ on.

  

 Raena eating the grass from Valentine

 

 

          She sure did sissy. And all the way down, she was hollerin’ fur us to leave the fone alone. She must’ve hid the one by her sittin’ chair, cuz I’s couldn’t find it at all. Fankfully, she didn’t need an ambulance.

 

Dezi sits atop the Liberty cat tree

Me’s sure glad ‘bout that Raena. Me was worried. It took furever fur her to get up. She had a big gash on the top of her foot and her knees look pawful. Mommy says old peeps break easier than young’un’s and so she called Uncle Pete, Timmy Tomcat’s daddy, fur a little medical reassurance.

 

 Timmy Tomcat selfie

Foto of TimmyTomcat

          I’s really glad we have such pawsum furiends sissy, so mommy had someone she could ask fur advice. Ya’ know, Uncle Pete’s a nurse in real life, so mommy was able to confurm that she hadn’t broken anythin’ and didn’t require a dreaded trip to the emergency room. Ya’ know, mommy hates hospitals.

 

Me knows Raena. That’s why me can’t figger out why mommy thinks she needs to take us to the VET. We hate the VET as much as she hates hospitals. MOL  Me thinks there must be some kind’a double standard goin’ on here.

 

          What do ya’ mean sissy? What’s a double standard?

 

Dezi eats Wysong Uretic
Yummm mmmm mmmm Don’t bother me right now, meez eatin’.

 

Well Raena, it means that mommy can eat junk but we have to eat good fur us food. And, mommy can avoid the hospital, but we have to go to the VET.

 

 Dezi watching Raena while they eat

 

          I’s like our food sissy. And mommy says Primal just came out with some new proteins that we’re gonna luvs. She even added ’em to our amazon wish list

 

Me likes our foods too Raena, but me also likes pizza. Anyways, speakin’ of food, we need to go finish eatin’ our brekky.

 

 Raena sleeps on cat mat

Mommy says I’s da cutest thing ever. Look’it mine’s angelic face. 

 

          Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies furst sissy. And say fanky fank ya’ to Uncle Pete fur helpin’ mommy.

 

 Thank You emoji

 

Fanks Raena. And yes, fank you Uncle Pete. We are so very blest to have amazin’ furiends, our home that shelters us from the pawful storms, and our luvvin’ mommy, that’s gonna be okay. We wanna remind all our furiends to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the many blessings in your lives. We really wish we had been at BlogPaws this past week with those furiends who went, but maybe next year. Mommy’s gonna be sittin’ with her legs up and ice on fur the swellin’, so we purrobably won’t get to do a lot of visitin’ today either. Ifin ya’ can spare any purrayers, we sure would purreciate ‘em. And ‘member to join us tomorrow fur Service Cat Monday. The topic of aggression continues.

And one last thing. Ya’ know that “hooligan in a can” me won? Well you can get your very own. Cat Scouts is a pawsum place fur cats and their peeps to mingle with others of like mind. And it’s totally furee. Den Master created this pawsum place fur us to get together to have fun, help others and learn lots of things. We know it takes money to keep things goin’, but Den Master has never mentioned chargin’ any of us scouts a dime. ‘Stead, she’s created a store where peeps can buy Cat Scout memorabilia and the furtastic “hooligan in a can”  and help suppurt this amazin’ place we call Cat Scouts. Me’s a little ashamed me didn’t see the card included in me’s purrize till yesfurday. Ya’ know, we was just so taken by all the goodies included in da can. But me saw it and so me wanted to tell you all where to get your very own tin of cat goodness. Just click here to get it now while it’s on sale.
