ANOTHER CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE SQUIRREL KIND!
Social Media
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.

What a great picture. I can just about read both you and the squirrel’s minds. This is one for the scrapbook.
Shoko
Awesome picture! Lisbeth, that squirrel has no idea who he’s messing with!
It looks like a stare-off.
Up close and Purrsonal.
Mmmmmmm. He’d make a succulent treat. With some fava beans and a nice Chianti 😉
Something, uh–NEW–has happened to your bloggy!
OOPS a whoopsie doodle happened when we loaded your blog. Things look a lot different.
Hmmmmmm Me’s not sure but me thinks somethin’ loaded wrong. Me thinks it’s just us, cuz other peeps be talkin’ ’bout some channel. Have fun.
Luv ya’
Dezi
That is a very cheeky squirrel!
Oh my Cod! We love your channel! We don’t get that on our TV here!
PeeS: Your blog is all wonky to us. We don’t know if it’s on our end or not but thought we’d mention it.
Wonderful picture……thank you!
I bet that is really cool to see them interact with squirrels. I see how my cats respond when the birds are walking in the yard, so I can only imagine the squirrels.
We have about ten squirrels that regularly visit. And they know that our two cats, Pacco and Rabanne, are too old to even bother giving chase. I swear the squirrels deliberately sit on the window sill just to try winding the cats up! 🙂
We love your Squirrel TV ! Purrs
Mee-you Lisbeth yur squirrelss are so purrty. Wee onlee have black squirrelss an they not as cute!
Oh an today wee have MORE snow!

How is Swizzle? We think about her a lot! Her and Bootsie, advertised by Brian Frum, we think about both of these kities! Mom took in a Cocoa cat and renamed her Kokomo because she deserves much much food and a Warm, Warm sunny patch on a beach! This Kokomo a
Had been starved and her ears look frostbitten! Uses haven’t accepted her!maybe because her ears are always down, we cats don’t understand d they are stuck that way! We don’t see so many squirrels because we keep attacking poor Kokomo! Aspen and Willow, Mango, and Tigger, we are all to blame! Introducing cats is not for the weak minded human!
You gotta wonder what they’re both thinking…
I wonder who will win this staring contest…
uuummmmmm, Delicious
Great picture! That squirrel shows no fear.
Squirrels are relentless…bless their little hearts. We love them.
That’s one brave squirrel.
Great pic!
HA! I guess you guys are seeing who backs down first? So who won?????
Hugs, Sammy
We are lucky if we see a squirrel once or twice a year and we loved watching him being watched by Lisbeth.
Wowee, you just about can touch that varmint, OMC!! How bold he is…cheeky too, MOL!Stealing the burd seed…sheesh!
Wow, how cool! Ours rarely get up that close.
