ANGEL LILY OLIVIA’S CATURDAY BOX ART

Caturday Art

As I did yesterday, I delved into my archives for today’s photo. This photo of Lily Olivia is from 2017. You can see the original photo on the post, “Caring for Your Aging Cat.”

 

Caturday Art - Lily Olivia

 

To create today’s art, I began with the Floreado effect in Painnt. I changed the hue a bit and then used Picasa to sharpen the photo, remove a large logo from the front of the box and add the HDR filter at about 50 percent. I used piZap to add the “graffiti” sticker to the big blank area in the top of the box.

Angel Lily Olivia is joining the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. To check out Athena’s art or that of your fellow bloggers, click on Athena’s badge.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Can y’all believe that tomorrow is the last Sunday in April. That means one-third of 2019 has almost disappeared. Whew…where did those four months go? Kitties Blue probably spent a whole lot of time napping through those days, and they’ll most likely be taking their easy tomorrow as well. I’ve got my fingers crossed that one of them will step up and snap a selfie to share with you.

And this is your early warning to do the same so you can join us for tomorrow’s blog hop. Remember, all anipals are welcome regardless of species. So, please invite all your animal friends to join us.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

    It is so great to see Lily Olivia on the blog today. Queen Penelope has been thinking about appearing here too. Mom found a whole thumb drive of picture of her when she was in Midway, back from her first Blog The Cat From Hell.

    The Hubby asked me why I save so many photos of the cats. Like Angel Lily Olivia’s image, how could I NOT hold onto it?

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.
