MeOW C’mon RaenaBelle, it’s Blest Sunday. And do we ever have the Blessings to give Fanks fur. Me just luvs givin’ Fanks, don’t you?

          Yep sissy, I’s do, cuz it means we have another day to lives and luvs. Looks like Summer arrived and kicked Spring on down the road. I’s guess that’s okay tho’, mommy said Spring wouldn’t be stayin’ long. It’s turned really hot and there’s been lots of fun teevee to watch from mine’s purrch. Y, I’s saw birdy’s and wasps and bunnies last week. Mommy says the waspys are dangerous and she’s always sprayin’ somethin’ outside to make ‘em go away. They must not be too smart tho’, cuz they just keep comin’ back fur more.

Yep Raena, mommy’s ‘lergic to waspys, so that’s why she’s always tryin’ to shoo ‘em off. Now where did you see those bunnies? Me didn’t see any bunnies. 

 

Raena looks out at snow from small perch

 

 

 

          They were right outside sissy, eatin’ the grass and flowers. There’ll be more bunnies to see, don’t worry summer’s furinally here. In the meantime, we oughtta give fanky fanks fur the nice weather and all our furiends.

 

Me is fankful fur the nice warm weather Raena. And of course me’s always fankful fur our furiends. Meowin’ of furiends, mommy got a birthday card last week from awnty Mary Beth and uncle Garth. And they also included a card from Gizmo and the rest of the furry family. Mommy thought that was just the sweetest thing ever.

 

Raena lays atop Liberty Cat tree and hangs paw over edge

 

 

 

          Ain’t that the truth sissy?. She also got a card and some green papers yesfurday from one of our Anonymous awnties, that made her smile. Actually, I’s think it was more of a big o’l grin rather than a smile. Mommy’s kind’a embarrassed right now cuz she doesn’t have a tooth in her mouth.

Oh Raena meowin’ of mommy’s toothlessness, she had furgotten till recently that she had to renew her driver’s license befur the end of May. Ya’ know license fotos aren’t meant to be purrtraits, but mommy’s always gotten all purrettied up fur the foto anyways. Ya’ know she paints her face and fixes her hair and gets ready to pose and smile her big teeth showin’ smile. But, this year she doesn’t have any teeth fur that smile, so when she sat down to have her foto taken, all she could do was grin. She looks so funny, kind’a like a blowfish or somethin’. 

 

          Sissy, that’s not very nice of you to compare mommy to a blowfish. Besides, how do you even know what a blowfish looks like?

C’mon Raena, mommy knows she looks funny without any teethies. Her lips have all but disappeared. She keeps pushin’ ‘em out cuz she says skinny lips mean she’s gettin’ old. And you know how much mommy hates lookin’ old. MOL 

 

          That’s the truth sissy, she blames every wrinkle and gray hair on us. I’s can’t ‘magine why she would even think such a thing. 

 

Me neither Raena. Oh well, we’ll think ‘bout that tomorrow. Me wonders how many of our furiends might be the cause of their peeps wrinkles and gray hairs? Anyways, we wanna Fank all our furiends fur their luv and fur sharin’ their lives with us. As always, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives.

Blest Sunday: A Very Special Thank You

MeOW  C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday, and we have lots of things to meow ‘bout today. As you know, today is mommy’s birthday and Memorial day weekend. This month has just flown by.

          It sure has sissy. How old do ya’ think mommy is? Do ya’ reckon she’ll tell us this year? 

 

Dezi looks at camera while sitting on cat scratcher

 

 

 

All me knows Raena is that she’s old, as in wrinkles and gray hair and creakin’ bones old. Me’s not sure even she ‘members how old she is Raena. Ya’ know, they say the memory’s the furst thing to go. MOL 

 

Raena lays under pet cot from KH

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, I’s don’t think mommy would find that so funny. But, I’s do agree that mommy’s memory ain’t what it used to be. Anyways, I’s don’t really care how old she is, I’s just glad she’s our mommy. I’s do luvs her whole bunches. You know she always puts us furst. Y, she got some green papers fur her birthday and ended up spendin’ most of ‘em on us. Seems that Drs. Foster and Smith place had our Primal Freeze Dried Rabbit noms on sale fur half purrice. We don’t think we’ve ever seen ‘em that cheap anywhere. So, mommy used her special money to get us a few bags.

Fank you awnty Ingrid, Pipo and Dalton.

 

 

 

 

Yep Raena, we do have a good mommy, that’s fur sure. We do wanna say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Vonda, awnty Susan, awnty Anonymous, and awnty Ingrid, Pipo and Dalton fur mommy’s birthday money. Mommy cried a lot of happy tears this past week.

 

Dezi and Raena sniff the maranta from Ellen for mommy A's birthday

 

 

 

          She did sissy. And then she cried some more when she got the box from my kitty godmommy awnty Ellen. Mommy luvs exotic house plants. Rumor is that she used to have a whole house full. Anyways, one of her favorite plants is the maranta, better known as the purrayer plant cuz it closes it’s leaves at night to resemble praying hands. When mommy opened up the box from awnty Ellen, she saw the purrettiest purrple leaves pawppin’ out all over the place. ‘Course we had to check it out too. We could smell somethin’ emanatin’ from inside that box that really caught our attention. Sure nuff, awnty Ellen hadn’t furgotten ‘bout us. We got one of those furtastic pieces of silvervine toast each. I’s ‘member when Sammy modeled his fur their posty. That awnty Ellen is so clever. Who would’a thought ‘bout makin’ silvervine toast? 

 

Dezi and Raena shiff the maranta gift from ellen for Mommy A's birthday

 

 

 

Me sure did enjoy that toasty Raena. You’re right ‘bout awnty Ellen. She is so very talented. We luv all her Made with Luv goodies. You slobbered all over your toasty and then tried to steal me’s one. Hmmmpht That wasn’t happenin’. MOL 

 

Raena rolls around on the silvervine toast from Ellen

 

 

 

          You were s’posed to share sissy. ‘Stead, you flopped your floofy big hiney down on your toasty and hid it.

 

Dezi rolls around on silvervine toast from Ellen

Oh divine silvervine, me luvs you.

 

 

 

You had your own Raena, and me didn’t want slobber all over me’s toasty piece. Fank you soooooooooooooo much fur includin’ us awnty Ellen. The silvervine toast was a big hit. 

 

Raena plays with silvervine toast

 

 

 

          Sure nuff. Fanky fank you awnty Ellen. Sissy, can you x’plain a bit ‘bout Memorial day? Peeps keep sayin’ happy memorial day and I’s don’t know what’s so happy ‘bout it. 

 

Dezi plays with silvervine toast from Ellen

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me doesn’t get the happy pawrt either, me thinks peeps just don’t know what else to say. Memorial day is the day set aside to pay homage to those men, women and anipals that died while serving in the military. Me knows fur sure, that we ‘member them and their families every single day. Ifin not fur them, our country and way of life wouldn’t exist. The freedoms we have, wouldn’t exist. This country is great because of those willing to fight and die to make it so. No where else in this world has the freedoms and rights that the U.S. does. And shame on those who want to tear it down. The next time you complain about the government or somebody saying/posting something you don’t like or agree with, remember, you have the right to do that because someone died to make it so.

          I’s sure am fanky fankful fur all those who gave their lives so we could live in such a pawsum country sissy. I’s so fanky fankful fur their families who suffered loss, fur the children who lost mothers or fathers to wars on distant shores. Sometimes peeps furget, the soldier serving and fighting should be at the top of our purrayer list, but their family serves as well. So, to all those soldiers who never came home, we salute you and purromiss not to take the freedoms your lives bought us fur granted.

Yep Raena, we are blest to have been born in the U.S. and mommy and me join you in saluting each and every soldier. Thank you fur your service and your sacrifice. And to all those Vets and currently serving, we fank you as well. God Bless America. 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.

Blest Sunday: Furever Blest

MeOW  (Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree looking out the door) It’s time fur Blest Sunday, so Thunderstorms, ya’ll just stay away. This is me’s day to post and me doesn’t wanna have to yell over ya’. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          Raena:  Sissy? Who are you meowin’ too, I’s don’t see anypawdy outside?. 

 

Dezi lays on the liberty cat tree looking out the door

 

 

 

Don’t worry ‘bout it Raena, it’s time fur Blest Sunday and me was just meowin’ how Blest we are. Spring, or rather Summer has furinally showed up and nature’s all a-flutter. The pawrents of those last birdies in the nest over the alarm on our door have been hangin’ on our walkway rails all day every day keepin’ watch over their babies and runnin’ off any other birdies that might come by fur a look see. 

 

Raena watches the birds on the rail outside

 

 

 

          Yeah sissy, they sure have been fun to watch. They take up their stations at each end of the rail till some unsuspectin’ birdy comes along and then they start chatterin’ and swarmin’ the intruder.

 

Male and Female birds on rail keeping watch over nest

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, they’re quite the sight to see. Me thinks a couple of cardinals teamed up the other day to see what it was they were purrtectin’.

 

Bird on rail keeping watch over nest

 

 

 

 

          I’s saw that sissy. While the pawrents were chasin’ one cardinal off another came swoopin’ in fur a close-up. ‘Course that mommy bird must not have been too fooled cuz she came divin’ outta the sky and chased off the other cardinal. It made fur some purretty x’citin’ bird teevee…fur ‘bout ten minutes. I’s wanna know where all the squirrels have gone off too? And where’s our Coon furmily that comes up fur spam? 

 

Well Raena, maybe the Coons figgered out we were broke. The last time they came up askin’ fur spam, mommy gave ‘em an old can of expired chicken chunks instead. Me doesn’t think they liked it nearly as much as they do that canned meat bi-product. And with all the rain and thunderstorms we’ve been havin’ it’s purrobably a little too wet fur ‘em. Mommy did see a bunny rabbit the other day. By the time she got the car door open and her new smeow-arty pants fone out and the camera app open, that bunny was long gone. Mommy even tried searchin’ fur him with the flashlight app on said fone; but, no bunny in sight.

 

          That poor bunny must’ve thought mommy had one of those big woofies that chased him the other day. 

 

Dezi lays with arm hanging over edge of the liberty cat tree while Raena bathes on the shelf below her.

 

 

 

Ya’ might be right Raena. Me would like to know where those woofies came from too? Me actually likes the big woofies much better than those heel nippers that run ‘round here without their humans, but our ‘pawrtments’ has a size and weight limit fur anipals and those woofies were fur sure too big. They might be the reason we haven’t had any squirrel teevee this year too?. They chase everythin’…even with their human attached to them by that leash. They just drag her right along with ‘em. 

 

          Yeah sissy, they may be funnier than squirrel teevee even. On another note, we need to say a meowsy big fanky fank ya’ to awnty Cindy. Mommy luvs the purrfume you sent fur her birthday. We luvs it too, don’t we sissy? 

 

Dezi sniffs the Zanzi perfume gift from Cindy

 

 

 

Yep Raena, and it’s gonna smell much better on mommy than it does on the carpet. Mommy just couldn’t wait 7 more days to open it. She jumped in the shower the minute she got it so she could put some on. 

 

Raena peeks out from the liberty cat tree and sniffs the Zanzi perfume gift from Cindy

 

 

 

          And then I’s nuzzled up next to mommy’s chest to smell her sissy. I’s do luvs it when mommy smells so good. It reminds me of the sweet smell of luvs I’s felt the day I’s met her fur the furst time. 

 

Dezi gets loving while laying in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me too. Anyways, this past week was full of Blessings fur all of us. Mommy saw her new dentist and really likes her. Mommy’s mouth is healin’ up nicely and she’ll be startin’ the purrocess to get her purrmanent dentures next month. We’re still waitin’ to hear from those nasty peeps at Aspen dental, but we’ve been purrayin’ that God will give us favor and make them return the green papers mommy gave them fur work they didn’t do; she needs it to pay the new place. Spring/Summer has arrived and brought warmer days and more Mr. Sunshine with her. That means we’ll be strollin’ befur long. 

 

          Ifin we can get rid of all the wets, sissy. We can’t go strollin’ in the rain and thunderstorms.

 

True Raena, but mommy says there’ll be purrlenty of dry days fur strollin’ soon. Anyways, mommy got that early birthday gift and reminded us how Blest we are to have such pawsumly amazin’ furiends. Fank you all fur sharin’ your lives with us. We luv you all very much. And as always, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life.

          And don’t furget Sunday Selfies, sissy. We’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue like we do every week. We are furever Blest.

 

Furever Blest huh? Me likes that Raena. C’mon, let’s finish brekky and have a little nap befur the storms start up again. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Planning For A Month Of Mommy Specials

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. I’s sure wanna fanky fank everypawdy that came to mine’s pawrty and wished me a happy birthday. I’s sure am a Blest kitty girly. The weather was so nice over the weekend, I’s got to go fur several strolls. What fun!!! Unfurtunately, we’re in fur storms over the next couple of weeks and it’s time fur mommy to get all our stuffs ready to recertify our lease, so I’s purrobably won’t be gettin’ very many strolls this month. 

 

 Dezi lays on cat tree while Raena bathes laying on cat tree

 

 

 

 

          You don’t know that fur sure Raena. After all, May is the month we celebrate mommy. Furst there’s Mother’s day and then we’ve got her birthday at the end of the month. You know mommy always purrfurs to celebrate us even on her special days.

 

Really sissy? I’s don’t really ‘member too much ‘bout last year. Are we gonna get mommy somethin’ special fur her special days? 

 

 Dezi and Raena lay on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Sure we are Raena. We’ll give mommy lots of extra luvvin’ and attention this month. Me’s not very good at readin’ the calendar, so me isn’t sure which days are the special ones. That means, we’ll just have to treat her special every day.

 

I’s know the furst thing we can do fur mommy, sissy. We can let her have a whole cup of that coffee she likes so much while it’s still hot. We can just eat and not bother her fur a few extra minutes. After all, how long can it actually take to drink a cup of coffee? 

 

Dezi looks out the door while sitting on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          Oh Raena, that’s a great idea. X’cept, ya’ know ifin we let her do it once, she’ll think we oughtta let her do it every day from now on. You know mommy should never put anythin’ befur our wants and needs. Me was thinkin’ just a few extra massages and lap luvvin’ times. Comin’ up with gift ideas was always sis Lexi’s depawrtment. She was really good at that kind’a stuffs. Me never really wanted to be in charge. But, me’s not so sure me wants you to be in charge either. 

 

 Dezi and Raena look out door while sitting and laying on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Oh sissy, don’t worry, I’s luvs bein’ in charge. So, I’s still think the coffee thing’s a good idea. Ifin we only had thumbs we could make mommy her coffee and serve it to her in bed. Now wouldn’t that be somethin’. 

 

          Yeah Raena, that’d be somethin’ alright. Now, let’s get serious and actually make some plans. In the meantime, we oughtta fank everypawdy fur their purrayers. The hot water heater sprung a leak. Fankfully, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the flood we had a few years ago. The plumbers came out and put in a new one. Mommy’s still got some piddle pads down to soak up any water left unner the floor planks. We’ll most likely need a few replacement planks once everythin’ completely dries up. Anyways, we’re happy we didn’t get completely flooded out of our ‘pawrtment. 

 

 Dezi and Raena look out the door while sitting and laying on the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

We sure are sissy. And mommy was so purroud of you fur alertin’ her to that flood befur it got outta hand. Mommy says she knew immediately somethin’ was wrong when she heard you chuffin’ and chortlin’ in the hallway at 4 in the meownin’. Anyways, let’s wrap this up, we’ve got lots of furiends we need to ketch up on.

 

 Dezi and Raena stare intently out the door from the liberty cat tree

 

 

 

          (Dezi sees something fly by the door and jumps on the liberty tree to look out the door) Me’s with you Raena. Furst tho’ me thinks another birdy might be usin’ that nest on our alarm outside. Me’s sure those other birdies already left the nest. Let me just check this out furst.

 

(Raena sees the bird diving toward the door)  Hope that momma birdy don’t dive bomb mommy when she goes outside. MOL I’s think I’s’ll just watch the birdies fur awhile and maybe have a little nap. 

 

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