LASER BEAM EYES SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #406

As usual, this week’s selfie host was not a particularly cooperative participant. To show her displeasure, Calista Jo refused to look toward the iPad when she snapped her selfie.

She also used the flash, which gave her those crazy, laser beam eyes. Her whiskers look rather nice, however.

Regardless of C.J.’s reluctance to join you today, she. has her paws crossed you will take part in our hop. We are going live a bit early, as I have not had a good night’s sleep in more nights than I can count. No way I can stay up until midnight.

So I’m keeping this short, and like Calista Jo am hoping you will hop with us. We appreciate your support, following and friendship.

Have an easy Sunday.

FLOWER POWER TORTIE CAT

Caturday Art

Astrid is here today with a photo from March. She was in the cat tree on the catio.

flower power tortie cat in cat tree turned into pastel-colored art.

To turn the photo into art I used the Spring*Painting*Glitch*Drip effect from Painnt. To that I added the Flower Power effect from pZap and a frame from favpng.

If you’d like to see the original photo, check out the post, “Astrid Enjoys Catio Time & Helps With Fill-ins.” It’s from March, when we were having much nicer weather.

Astrid is participating in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. If you’d like to do the same, click on Athena’s badge.

I made a puzzle for the jigsaw fans. Have fun!

Sunday Selfies Reminder

One of the Kitties Blue will be here tomorrow as your host for our Sunday Selfies blog hop. Your guess is as good as mine as to which one it will be. I’m certain they’ll all be keeping themselves out of view today. I hope lots of you will stop by to see your host and to share you adorableness with us and all your other friends. Until then, have a terrific Caturday. Personally, I am hoping for a rainless day!

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.

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.

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.
