SUMMER POSITION
Social Media
ONE OF A KIND
I don’t know how to say good-bye.
I thought you were invincible; though,
You used up many of your nine lives.
You ruled us all with an iron paw;
Never took “no” for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, you’d bark to signal your
Displeasure and sometimes raise a paw.
I always joked that you were bi-polar.
When I told people you were a calico
They immediately understood what I meant.
Today was unnaturally quiet in the house.
Can a home seem empty with eight cats?
I will miss waking up at night to find you
Sitting next to me and staring at me.
I will miss you yelling at us as you did
When you wanted breakfast and dinner.
I will miss watching you lounging and snoozing
On the porch settee on a warm afternoon.
But most of all I will miss your kisses!
When kitten Sawyer befriended you,
We suspect you were imparting your
Wisdom and secrets for controlling us.
Time will tell if he was a good listener.
But whatever he may have learned,
Neither Sawyer nor any other cat
Can or will replace you in our hearts.
Lily Olivia, you were one-of-a-kind.

I think that you have the right idea, Lily Olivia! A good nap in the sun is the cure for many ails. 🙂 You are so adorable! I just want to pet that belly and give you a kiss. I hope you had sweet dreams.
All stretched out to catch any breezes that may waft by…to cool you down a bit, MOL! You do look sweet this way…and vulnerable too…belly exposed and all:)
Did you snag any belly rubs??
Lily Olivia, you’ve got that summer position down to an art! 🙂
Purrfect for summer.
That looks comfy.

Talk about letting it all hang out! What a great way to relax in the summertime!
Summer position = perfect position.

It’s really too bad you don’t know how to relax. Seriously. 🙂

You look so cute! I love to watch cats sleeping – they look like little angels 🙂
Sunshine, a nice big stretch, and a snooze. You sure know how to celebrate summer, Lily Olivia!
That looks about right. 🙂
She is so cute.
You’re nice and stretched out, Lily Olivia!
So comfy – can I come over and snooze with you?
You look so comfy on those lovely cushions Lily Olivia.
Oh boy – that REALLY looks like a great nap spot!!
