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 can’t reach the paper towels up on the counter, so I just use my tongue to wash the kitchen floor. XOX Lucy

Kizmet has a “pet” roll of paper towels? Well why not….maybe she wants to participate in housecleaning? No….can’t be that….cats are definitely not housecleaners by nature. Well, all I can say is her new “pet” won’t require much food!
Hugs, Teddy

Kizmet, are you supposed to be playing with that? Those “shredding toys” are fun, aren’t they?

Some of our cats have worked similar projects. They derived a high level of satisfaction from the work, and were puzzled by the our lack of enthusiasm.
