Renata Speaks


I’m Renata.  I was rescued as a tiny tot from underneath a mobile home by The Lady, who I call Mommy.  She and The Man take good care of me.  It’s been said I’m a Silver Maine Coon, but there is no proof.  I’m very small for my breed if that’s the case. 
If there is an available lap, I’m on it.  Sometimes even if there is no lap, I have an unblinking stare that wins my Humans over every time.  I don’t meow, I churl. It’s a combination of a twirl, purr, chirp. And when I am happy, I churl and drool.

Although I’m very classy and elegant I’m not very social, just call me aloof.  If we have company, my favorite place is under the bed.  I feel almost the same about the vacuum cleaner because anytime that thing comes out, you won’t see me until the noise is gone for several hours at least. It’s always at the most inconvenient time too!

The only people in the world to pet me are my Humans.  Believe me, you have to be somebody I really trust for me to even come out from my hiding place. If you are someone I am familiar with, I’ll watch you a lot from afar never ever letting you near. You should consider this a privilege.

There are many things I like to do when I’m not staring down my humans for some cuddle time. There are windows looking out to flying treats (birds & squirrels). I spend a lot of time coaxing them to come inside with me.

I love the bathroom even though the door is always closed because I like to chew on the plants that Mommy thinks she's keeping from me. Anytime my Humans go back there, I run ahead of them checking behind me frequently to make sure they are following me. Then, I go in and try to distract them so I can get at the plants.

Sometimes they forget to shut the door and it’s like a magnet!  I can’t help it.  Mommy grows fresh cat nip but the nice houseplants are a substitute for those in between times.

My Humans have many nicknames for me.  Here are a few in no particular order.

Swishy Butt
Tater Tot
Poofy Britches
Stink Bug
Lurker
Velcro Cling On
Baby Bug
Lady Bug
Bug-A-Lug

Frank calls me The Grey Fluffball among other names depending on her mood which I can tell you right now is rarely anything other than grouchy.  She is, after all, a PILL.


You’ll get to know more about me because you follow my blog.  Don’t be fooled by The Pill, she thinks she’s in charge, but I was here first.

If you haven't figured it out already, The Lady writes our page, but we run the show.   The Man tries to keep up when he isn't busy scooping our poop and being a sports broadcaster.   Renata is sweet and Frank is sass.

Remembering Mizi

Image
Back September 13th, 2010, our Kitty Girl, Mitzi passed away.  We are blessed to have had such a long time with her, and without a doubt, she knew she was loved. Anyone who came into our home over the years was greeted with a big, fat, black cat that flopped over on her side, rolling until her legs were all up in the air to make sure you saw her and got a good look at her belly.  Like a dog, she sure enjoyed a belly rub, taking attention from everyone. I’d like share how Mitzi came into Merle’s life, and eventually mine. Before Merle and I met, he and his best friend Will were roommates for many years.  In 1996, they learned of a cat at the Animal Shelter where Will’s friend Denise worked.  This 2 year old cat had nursed a litter of kittens, (not her own), but was a few days away from being euthanized.  Will and Merle told Denise they would take the cat if there were no other options found.  And this is how Mitzi found her new home! ...
