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.
© 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.

Indeed wordless. With pictures portraying such unbelievable cuteness, who needs words!
You look so comfy! Can I join you?
(((Shoko)))
Looks like you guys gave it four paws WAY UP!!!
I love your cat’s letter to Santa Claws!! Nice, comfortable looking bed, too 😉 Happy New Year’s from our pack to yours!
Good to see Fiona and Giulietta at the new Years Pawty, they is so furry funny!

Well at least the beddy recipients were able to give it a “test run” ! Some times that doesn’t happen over here…it’s more like finders keepers!! 😉
the critters in the cottage xo
That is a great new beddie! Glad that the “right” kitties finally got to use it MOL!
That loks like a nice comfy bed.Happy New Year!
Wow! That’s a pawsome new bed. You all make it look super comfy too. It’s great that everyone had a chance to try it out 🙂 Have a very happy New Year!
oooooh…lovely!
Who won?
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
so thankful you kitties woke up long enough to write this post for new year’s eve. now go back to sleep in your comfy beddies.
Emma and Buster
But who will get to keep it? Love Dolly
Can I come and try your new bed…? I looooooooooove new beds!
Best wishes for a healthy, Happy New Year – WOOF!

What a cool and neat bed! We bet it sleeps really nicely.
Happy Mew Years Eve!!!
Have an absolutely, wonderful and happy new year!
Noodle and crew
that does look mighty comfy
Wow, that’s a lot of bed testing. I’m sure it could use some more testing…just to make sure it’s purr-fect.
Have a happy, healthy wonderful new year!
–Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
What a great way to ring in the New Year! You might need more beddys for all of you though!
That sure is a comfy looking bed. We can see why it’s getting a workout from all of you. Happy New Year’s Eve!
Happy New Year all the best for 2015.
Sheba.
Great beds! I bet you will still prefer the keyboard and other strange places 🙂 Happy New Year!
That bed looks terrific!!!
New beddies always need to be tested before the intended recipients receive them! It’s a law I think! 🙂
That’s a beautiful new bed! Newton got a new bed for Christmas and Pierre took it over and won’t let him sleep in it at night, so he doesn’t sleep in the bedroom now. The head peep feels SO bad for displacing Newt but Pierre won’t budge. You never know who will actually adopt a bed when it arrives in the house!
What a wonderfully pawesome bed! It looks so big and comfy! Obviously the kitties like it too – including the lovely and cuddly Giulietta and Fiona 🙂 So glad they are enjoying their Christmas bed. Sending lots of warm and cuddly hugs, and Sampy sends as many kisses to Astrid as there are cat beds in the entire world!
Happy New Year’s Eve!!
I don’t think you kitties understand the concept of your own beds. Mine are always fighting over the cat beds and then they have the nerve to try and steal our dog beds! It looks comfy, tough.
Looks like a VERY nap-worthy bed to me – no wonder it’s a popular spot to curl up! HAPPY NEW YEAR KB!!
Love, Sammy
That bed is so nice it has to be shared. 🙂
What a comfy looking beddy and it’s big enough for more than one occupant. The testers seem to be enjoying it.
Happy New Year!
Purrs and nose kisses to Ms Lisbeth
That is some excellent beddy testing. You guys are clearly expurrts. And wow, do those beddys look way comfy. If, ummmmm, you need any extra testers – let us know!
Hugs!
Wow… great bed!
Wishing you all the best for the New Year 🙂
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
Dat bed looks comfy!
Cool bed! I hope that Fiona and Giulietta get to use it some!
Pawsome bed ! It looks like many of you enjoy it ! Purrs
Everyone here got new beds, too. Even Stella. It looks like that bed is approved by all! Ours were, too. Hugs.
How COOL and looks like a very comfy bed. ENJOY! Golden Woofs
What a great new beddie! So comfy looking, too!
Looks like the new bed got all paws up. I wish my furbabies liked pet beds, they just want mine. But it is heated so that may be the love of it. The bed is really pretty and make the felines look even more beautiful.
That looks like an awesome bed, we see the “beddy testers” made sure the beddy was worthy of the beautiful “beddy recipients”, that’s good service for sure! Many cuddles to the beddy recipients! Wink, wink…
