AN EARLY VALENTINE FOR TYEBE

Caturday Art

More than a few of you know that I have a special friend. Her name is Tyebe, and she is a member of The Canadian Cats. I think and dream about her all the time, so I asked Mom to make some special Caturday Art just for her. This is the version for Tyebe.

 

 

Below is the interim version of the art.

 

 

As Mom does most weeks, she started with Painnt. She used the Cluster filter, changed the hue of the photo and applied the hardlight and analog effects.

For the Valentine, she added the “Words of Love” effect and lacy edge using Funny.Pho.to.

I hope everyone will find at least one of these arty creations to their liking.

I am joining the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. To join in, click on her badge.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Misty May will be your host tomorrow for our blog hop. In fact, she has already taken her selfie. She thought if she let a certain man cat know she’d be here tomorrow, he would stop by to see her. Whether he does or doesn’t join the hop, we sure hope to see all our regulars. And new faces are always welcome. Making new friends is so much fun!

Until tomorrow…Cooper Murphy signing off with purrs and paw-pats.

    *giggle* *giggle* GingerSnap I love your Valentine card to me. It speaks to me so I shall never be without you my mancat. Your mom did an excellent job on both the pictures but the Valentine is my favourite. Thank you so much. Pretty soon we can have a romantic day together.

    Oh my! That’s a wonderful “set” of Valentine’s Day cards for Tyebe. I’m sure she will love them Sawyer. You and Tyebe are special friends for sure. I can’t believe it’s almost Valentine’s Day…..I’d better get busy pawing a card for my Mom and Dad!

    Hugs, Teddy

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.
