* Astrid is our resident bag lady. We know cats should not be left alone with a handled bag. C.J. was supervised while she played.
HOW DID ASTRID MISS THIS?*
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.

Astrid is an adorable bag lady. 🙂
That bag looks absolutely purr-fect! Mine adore these things, too. I think they’re sad that I’m using reusable bags and baskets now. I have fewer and fewer toys to share with them!

Calista Jo, that’s a really great bag! Lucky you got there before Astrid. 🙂
TW knows that look all too well. MOL!
Mr. M would love a bag like that!
Hmmmmmm You sure look purretty. Mommy actually paid money fur a box of bags at Walmart. And guess what…me couldn’t care less ’bout them. Wish you had ’em.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
That looks like a fun bag to play in, Calista Jo.
Uh oh! Looks like someone may be getting whapped later for stealing Astrid’s bag! 😉 Have fun, CJ! Sampy sends 9739487509387405928304 kisses to Astrid, and we all send lots of love!
Look at her eyes, she looks frisky! 🙂
Calista we aren’t bag lovers here just box lovers. But boy oh boy do you look adorable.
We too love bags…Minko even tries to get in the cooler bags, MOL!
The crinkly sound of a good paper bag is so much a kitty magnet:)
Have fun in your bag, CJ!
Those are the fun kind of bag! And you look adorable in it!
My cat is just like Astrid – he’s a bag guy 🙂
He just can’t resist a bag!
What a lucky find, Calista Jo! If you stay real quiet, maybe Astrid won’t notice and you’ll get to have to yourself for a while. Purrs!
Great photo of Astird. Bags are fun.
We love bags almost as much as we love boxes. 🙂
What a cute photo. Astrid must have been napping.
I never say no to a gorgeous bag … unless of course it’s a PLASTIC bag. Past kitty trauma drama!!! Those handles will kill a cat! Okay. Okay. So they didn’t almost kill me, just scared me pretty good when one was caught on my body. Just say no. ~Bear Cat
CJ is very cute in that bag!!!
What’s Astrid going to say when she sees this?
I used to just love bags of all kinds………they are hard to resist – that crinkly noise drives us wild!
Hugs, Sammy
The early cat gets the paper bags, always.
Cute pic! We like bags too.
She is adorable. Thank you for the safety reminder, too. Very important. Hugs. XOXO.❤
