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.

Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to your mom. ♥
That suitcase needs your careful investigation, Raleigh!
Suitcases are not usually a good sign for us kitties.
The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle
Raleigh…what a fine figger of a mancat you are, me lad.
Uh oh, suitcases are usually bad news, Raleigh!
Raleigh it’s nice that you checked the suitcase out to make sure it was properly closed…..trust me….you wouldn’t want to be IN it!
