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”?

          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.

          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.

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.

          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.

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.

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.

Blest Sunday: Growing Green

MeOW It’s Blest Sunday. Me luvs Blest Sunday. Ya’ know, we count our blessings each day, but we so luv takin’ the time to fank God fur them and fank all our furiends fur sharin’ their lives with us.

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          I’s luvs Blest Sunday too Dezi. We really are blest to have so much. Our furiend Valentine recently innerviewed us, and it reminded us just how blest we really are. You can check out the furst installment here.

 

Dezi lays atop the Liberty Cat Tree

Yeah Raena, what an innerview. Valentine asked a lot of great questions. Of course we meowed ‘bout how it is bein’ Service Kitties, but he also asked a lot of questions, we bet peeps have wondered ‘bout and just haven’t asked. As a matter of fact, he asked so many good questions, he’s gonna post it in pawrts.

 

          Ya’ reckon he also decided to do it that way cuz we’re kinda wordy sissy? 

 

Wordy? Who’ve you been meowin’ too Raena? We’re not wordy, we just have lots to say. ‘Purrtant stuffs. Wordy means you’re meowin’ nonsense; and we don’t meow nonsense?.

 

 Raena looks out from the top of the Liberty cat tree

 

          Of course I’s agree with you sissy. But, we have been called wordy and long winded befur. I’s don’t know why anypawdy would say that, but mommy says it’s true. 

 

Well, that’s okay Raena. Peeps can say whatever they want. Mommy says us Southerners have lots of colorful ways to express ourselves. So, we’re just doin’ what comes naturally. MOL 

 

 Raena bites the Cat grass pail from Valentine

 

          Well sissy, did you see what Valentine and his mommy sent us as a fanky fank ya’?

 

 

 Dezi watches Raena with the cat grass kit from atop the Liberty cat tree

 

Me sure did Raena. Mommy said she’d never seen such a cute little grass kit. We’d never heard of Maggies Micro-greens befur, but we can’t wait fur our grass to start growin’. Fank you so much Valentine, we do luv grass.

  

 Raena plays with the cat grass kit from Valentine

 

          That’s fur sure sissy. I’s couldn’t hardly wait fur mommy to get it planted up. ‘Pawrently, we have to wait fur it to sprout now. Kinda like when mommy grows her salads in the Aerogarden.

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty Cat tree and watches Raena with the cat grass kit from Valentine

 

 

Me sure hopes we don’t have to wait that long Raena. Fanks to awnty Anonymous, mommy’s got more salad greens to plant fur herself. Looks like we’ll all be eatin’ salads befur too long. MOL

 

          Awnty Anonymous also sent mommy some more of that shelf stable milk so she could make more of that cheater mac and cheese. We really do ‘purreciate her. Mommy made a big ole plate last night.

 

 Casr of Organic shelf stable milk

 

Yep, and then you jumped on the counter right next to that hot burner. Oh Me Cats were you in trouble!!! 

 

          Yeah sissy, I’s guess I’s shouldn’t have done that. Mommy was so scared she was cryin’. And I’s never seen mommy move that fast, have you? Did you see her come runnin’ fur me? 

 

Who could miss it Raena. Her arms were flailin’ thru the air and she was hollerin’ “Danger!!! Danger!!! Don’t step on that burner!!!”. 

 

          She snatched me up so fast mine’s head was spinnin’. I’s purrobably won’t be doin’ that again. MOL 

 

 Dezi and Raena atop the Liberty Cat tree

 

Well Raena, me’s sure mommy will be happy to hear that. Ya’ know, there’s usually a reason fur the rules mommy makes. We might not always unnerstand, but mommy says they’re fur our own good and safety. You coulda got really hurt ifin you’d stepped on that hot burner. Me’s just glad mommy got to you befur anythin’ bad happened. Yet another blessin’ we’re fankful fur this week.

 

          You’re right sissy. I’s a blest kitty fur sure. We’re so fankful fur all our furiends too. We live such blest lives. 

 

 3 cats meowing thank you

 

We do Raena. And we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the blessings in your lives. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go play. Maybe we can watch our pail of cat grass grow. MOL

 

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

Blest Sunday: Hidden Blessings

MeeeeeOW Welcome to a brand mew Blest Sunday. Ya’ll know how much we luv our Blest Sunday’s, and this week is no different. You know, sometimes the blessings are in your face and ya’ can’t miss ‘em. And sometimes, ya’ have to look a little harder fur them; but either way, they’re always there. As most of ya’ know, sis Raena’s furst birthday was last Furiday, and she got lots of gifts, that she’s sharin’ with me by the way; and we had a great pawrty. But the fun didn’t stop there. As ya’ll saw in our last posty, the gifts kept comin’.

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          They sure did sissy. I’s luvs birthdays. And I’s luvs, luvs, luvs our furiends.

 

 Dezi sits on the chair arm and poses

 

Me does too Raena. And we’ve still got a birthday pizza comin’. Me really purreciates you waitin’ fur the weather to clear up so me can enjoy it too. 

 

          No purroblem sissy. It wouldn’t be the same ifin you wasn’t out to enjoy it too. Awnty Anonymous even sent enuff green papers fur mommy to get somethin’ to celebrate with us.

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Well Raena, speakin’ of awnty Anonymous, we wanna say a meowsy big fank you again, cuz she sent mommy some more noms this past week. Mommy had actually spoke with her on the fone and knew these things were comin’, she just didn’t know when. So when the furst box arrived, mommy was taken by sur-purrise and as usual, she had a long fankful cry. 

 

          Those gifts and mommy’s noms would be the in your face blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout, right sissy? 

 

That’s right Raena. But, we’ve also had some of those not so in your face blessings this past week. 

 

 Raena lays on the Liberty cat tree

 

          Do tell sissy. I’s not know how you’re seein’ all these blessings while hidin’ out UTB (under the bed).

 

 Dezi sits on the chair arm and looks out

 

Me told you, me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s bein’ safe. And me wasn’t UTB the whole time. Me was drivin’ mommy to the bathroom every meownin’. And me came out to eat and play a few games and even nap a few times…till the thunder boomers started. Me was even doin’ really good this meownin’ till you jumped into the door tryin’ to get that birdy. 

 

 Raena carries a Christmas toy from Cat and Lisa

 

          Well, who knew the door wasn’t gonna open. That birdy’s lucky I’s couldn’t get to it. Hoverin’ at our door tauntin’ me like that, it deserved whatever it was gonna get. 

 

 Dezi bathes in front of the fireplace

 

Yeah, Uh Huh, Sure. (Dezi licks her fur) Raena, the mighty huntress. Like you would’a even known what to do with that birdy ifin you could’a got to it.

 

          Are you doubtin’ mine’s exceptional huntin’ skills sissy? Cuz you know mommy says I’s the greatest huntress in the house.

 

Mommy says a lot of things Raena. Ya’ notice she said in the house, and not somethin’ like, in the universe?. 

 

Raena lays on the back of the chair while Dezi looks up at her from the seat of the chair

 

 

 

 

          I’s don’t know what you’re meowin’ ‘bout sissy. Mommy doesn’t lie. So all I’s know, is that I’s the Great Huntress. Now, let’s get back to those hidden blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout a minute ago. 

 

 Dezi sits on scratcher

 

Yeah, we better do that befur me says somethin’…

Anyways, as most of our furiends know, mommy had some complications from her recent oral surgery. After havin’ a loose stitch removed at her 2 week recheck, a hole opened inside mommy’s mouth up into her sinuses. Not only was it gross, aggravating and painful, it was also dangerous and could’a required a second surgery to close that hole. We asked our furiends to join us in purrayin’ that the hole would safely close on it’s own and that mommy would be okay. And guess what? The last couple of days have been pawsum. Ain’t nuffin’ comin’ outta mommy’s nose that isn’t s’posed too. She can brush her teeth, swish, gargle, eat and drink without worryin’ ‘bout it comin’ out her nose again. What a blessin’ that is. Mommy’s gonna have to check with the surgeon to see when she can purrceed with the rest of the work she needs done. And hopefully, we’ll have enuff green papers to finish all the work so mommy will feel all better.

 

          Ifin mommy gets all better sissy, will she not need us to be Service Cats anymore? 

 

No, Raena. Mommy will still need us to be Service Cats. The work we do doesn’t have anythin’ to do with mommy’s teeth purroblems. She’s always gonna need us Raena, don’t worry.

 

          Fanky fanks sissy. I’s luvs mine’s life, mommy and you. I’s wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else. 

 

 Purple dandelion

 

You don’t ever have to worry ‘bout that Raena. When mommy told you it was furever, she meant it. Mommy also said it was a blessin’ to watch you experience all the fursts this year. Mommy said, at her age, she’s furgotten a lot of the wonders in life and nature. But watchin’ you get x’cited by the wind, or seein’ your furst birdy up close, or you tryin’ to smell the dandelion befur the wind blows it’s seed petals away remind her how purrecious and fragile this life is.

 

 Purple wind cloud

 

          Did you see that wind sissy? It’s whoopin’ those trees ‘round like they ain’t even there. I’s didn’t think those ole branches could move like that. Mommy called it the dance of Spring.

 

Cat blowing kisses emoji

3 cats meowing thank you

Ya’ can’t actually see wind Raena. But me did see those branches dancin’ ‘round out there. Me can hear ‘em scrapin’ the roof too. Me just hopes they all stay on the trees and don’t break off and break anythin’. The point is, blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to take a minute and see ‘em. As we do every week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a moment today and every day to give Thanks fur the blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and sharin’ your lives with us. 

 

          Don’t furget ‘bout the Sunday Selfies with the Kitties Blue sissy. I’s gotta go back to the door and watch fur that birdy to come back. 

 

See ifin you can find a sun puddle too Raena. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Still Storming and Thank Yous

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. Was mine’s birthday pawrty amazin’ or what? I’s could do that every day. I’s sure do wanna fanky fank all our furiends fur comin’. The pawrty wouldn’t have been any fun without ya’.

 

 Raena sits in a box that had birthday gifts from the Tomcat family

          Raena, me told you birthdays only happen once a year. You’re gonna have to wait till next year to have another birthday pawrty.

 

Is that a long time sissy? That seems like a long time. Will it still be stormin’ and rainy? Cuz I’s would like the sun shine on mine’s birthday.

 

          It’s not that long Raena. As fur the storms and sun shine, nopawdy can know that fur sure. Y, The weather guessers said earlier this week that the sun was gonna reign supreme all week. But just take a look outside and tell me ifin you see any sun puddles?.

 

 Dezi and Raena sit on the Liberty cat tree and look outside

Enjoy Raena, mommy says da sun’s leavin’ as quick as it got here.

 

I’s don’t see sun puddles sissy, but I’s do see that momma birdy that made her nest in mommy’s old flower pot basket. She’s been busy. Did you hear her callin’ the lawn crew names yesfurday? And mommy thought she was vishus the day she attacked her. Hmmmpht  I’s think she actually pooped on one of those lawn men. She was swoopin’ down and cacklin’ louder than ther machines. It was a sight to see.

 

 Baby birds in nest

 

          No, me didn’t see all that Raena, but me’s glad you enjoyed the show. Mommy said the babies are gettin’ bigger and have lots of feathers now. Me’s gotta tell ya’, they sure are the quietest babies me’s ever seen. We’ve never actually heard them peepin’ fur food. They really must have a good mommy.

 

 Baby birds in nest

 

Yeah sissy, mommy says every time she’s gone out there, they’re quiet as can be. The only one doin’ any squawking’ is the mommy bird. I’s can’t wait till they start learnin’ to fly. Ya’ reckon mommy’ll let us go out and play with ‘em?

 

          That ain’t happenin’ Raena. You know mommy’s a bit of a germ-a-fobe, and those birdies purrobably have mites and who knows what else. (Dezi shudders

 

Mites?!! I’s sure don’t want any birdy cooties sissy. Guess it’s a good thing mommy knows those kinds of things, so we don’t get into any trouble. Maybe, our Trout Towne furiends are on to somethin’ not likin’ birds. Our delishus freeze dried chicky breasts don’t have any mites, do they sissy?

 

          Nah Raena, by the time they get put into bags and shipped to our house, any mites and cooties they might have had have been all cleaned up. Speakin’ of freeze dried chicky breasts…

 

 Raena checks out her 1st birthday gift from the Tomacat family

 

Oh sissy, you were ‘bout to mention mine’s birthday purresents weren’t ya’? Fanky fank you uncle Pete, Timmy, Einstein, Fitz, Toby, Rumpy, Buddy Budd and Buttons. I’s luvs, luvs, luvs mine’s birthday purresents. And yes, I’s sharin’ with sissy. Those topper bottles are filled to overflowin’ with freeze dried chicky breasts and bonito flakes. They’re sooooooo delishus. And that sardine tin is great. Yeowww makes some of the bestest nip toys ever. Ya’ll didn’t have to get me anythin’, but I’s sure do ‘purreciate it. I’s such a blest kitty girl.

 

 Dezi, sniffs Raena's birthday gifts from the Tomcat family

 

          You’re also a spoiled kitty girl. 

 

 Raena tries to open the Yeowww sardine tin from the Tocat family

 

Oh sissy, mommy says that’s like the pot callin’ the tea kettle somethin’. Mommy says you’re purrlenty spoiled too.

 

          Of course me is. And me’s purroud of it. MOL  Me knows me has a great life, and pawsum furiends. Let’s go finish brekky befur the storms start up again, Raena. 

 

 Pet Parade Blog Hop Badge

 

Okay sissy. I’s gonna link up with the Pet Parade furst and I’s’ll join ya’ in a minute. Don’t eat all mine’s toppers. 

 

 

 Happy Birthday to angel Lexi in a heavenly frame with wings

 

          Tomorrow would have been sis Lexi’s 18th birthday. Mommy’s been a little sad this week and really missin’ her. So we need to give mommy some extra luvvin and cuddles. 

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap

I’s all over that sissy. I’s luvs givin’ mommy luvs and cuddles. I’s just wish the weather would purrk up so we could go fur a stroll. That would fur sure make mommy feel better. We hope all our furiends have a pawsum weekend. Join us next week fur an amazin’ give away and another great Service Cat Monday posty.

 

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