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.

That’s one hell of a beautiful painting! SO PRETTY.
SO beautiful!!!
What a nice job she did.
: )
Wow beautiful eyes
Gorgeous photo and painting!…Purrs…XOXO…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
That is a wonderfur painting. All Black or White kitties are difficult to catch with the flashy box so painting is double hard. Dad is always working to get Toby Buttons or Rumpy in good photos. Excellent!

Hello!! I finally figured out how to get here and have saved you into my reader! I wanted to thank you for all your delightful comments at our place. Thanks so much for coming by!!
I wanted to tell you that if you get pipe cleaners I turn the sharp ends into themselves so it feels pretty safe. 🙂
So beautiful! We love it!
How lovely!
OMC – Madison is lovely! And so is that painting…
I love HH’s work – and I think she captured that special something that Madison had.
We think that Madison was a pretty Handsome Boy (uh oh–or is it that she was a pretty girl?) Now see, Madison is one of those names….But we’ll stick with Boy. Love the picture AND the painter’s interpretation!
I’ll expect you to be dropping by soon once you’ve settled into the Island.
Madison looks stunning in that painting! We loooove it!!
HH seems to have captured Madison’s handsomeness and purrsonality.
Wow, HH did a great job with Madison’s painting.
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read more things about it!
That is a lovely painting.
That’s a great painting of your sweet Angel Madison. Isn’t HH talented?
Lovely! And what a beautiful keepsake of Madison 🙂

That is just beautiful.
Lovely memory of Madison.
