15TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR MAU & MISTY MAY

Party Time!

Mauricio and Misty May, collectively dubbed The Babies when we brought them home in November, 2004, are celebrating their 15th birthday today. They have gone from being The Babies to senior citizens.

They both are quirky with big personalities and keep Dad Tom and me on our toes. Other than Misty May losing her hearing recently, they remain in good health and, with any luck, will be with us for many more years.

Before we get the party started, Mau and Misty May received a couple of cards they want to share.

 

From Teddy (Two Spoiled Cats)

 

From Pipo, Dalton, Benji and Mom Ingrid (Meezer’s Mews and Terrieristical Woofs)

 

And a card from their dad and me.

 

 

Without a cake, this wouldn’t be a party. Getting one here was a little tricky. As most of you know, Mau is the family baker and even has his very own Bake Shop at Cat Scouts. I didn’t want to ask him to bake his own cake, so I had to sneak into his shop in the middle of the night to bake a cake for Misty May and him.

 

 

We have lots of noms and drinks so stay as long as you like.

 

Happy Birthday Babies

 

We Love You!

    OMC the baby photo in Dad Tom’s robe is adorable. Happy Birthday Mauricio and Misty May. We have a party for you on our blog too! Allie also has a card for you there.

    Allie is very mad at Mom because between the hurry-cane, Dad’s anniversary and the possible other storm, she hasn’t gotten his gift mailed.

YOU
For Fiona

It seems like only yesterday…
You were just a kitten.
When I saw your pleading look,
I was completely smitten.

Now at only six years old,
You are getting ready to leave,
Soon you will have your wings.
I’ve already started to grieve.

You’ve fought hard for the past year,
And I’m not ready to say good-bye.
I can’t imagine you not in my life
I am so sad…today I had to cry.

I am grateful and blessed
For my six years with you.
You’ll live in my heart forever.
You’re one of the best ever Kitties Blue.

YESTERDAY

Many yesterdays have passed since
You gained your angel wings. Today
Is six months since you left us behind
To remember and mourn. Our hearts
Continue to hurt, and we miss
You as much as the day you left.
Giulietta whined from the catio
Yesterday as I worked in the yard.
I know you put her up to it. That
Was your way of getting me to,
Allow you to join me as I
Gardened. You were there with me
In spirit. With every meow
I thought of you and how much I miss
Your sweet face and disposition.
In these past few months, many friends
Have traveled your same path in your
paw-steps. I am certain you were
Waiting to greet them with purrs and hugs.
I pray you and your friends are laughing,
Frolicking and having fun together.
Picturing that makes me smile, but
Does not lessen my sadness at your
No longer being here to snuggle
And receive our love, care and kisses.
Fiona, please do not ever forget
You are still and always will be loved.

© Janet Buickerood Blue 06/01/2017

ONE YEAR MISSING YOU

One year has passed since you flew away,
And I still think of you everyday.
I see your sweet face in my mind’s eye
And wish we’d never had to say good-bye.
It’s nice you’ve sent us kitties needing a family,
But my dearest love, we are now at capacity.
You thought it would take more than one cat
To take your place in our habitat.
We love Cooper Murphy and baby Sawyer dearly
But thinking either could replace you makes me teary.
You were one-of-a-kind and will stay in my heart
Until the day I join you and we’re no longer apart.
When once again I can hold you in my arms
And revel in all your love and feline charms.
Together with you and all who have passed.
I will spend eternity contemplating how blessed
I was to share my life with my furry children,
Each and every one of you one-in-a billion.

UNTIL

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.

© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17

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.
