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.

It is sweet that you help your mum to play games.
Aww, how sweet that you and Mom are playing that game together!
Awww…that is so sweet. XO
We hope you won, Astrid.
Happy Wordless Wednesday!!! We love that game as well. Astrid, you are probably a big help to beat those harder levels. Thanks for the share. Have a comfy and relaxing day with mom.
Such a fun time!
Is that the Simon’s Cat game?
I have faith in your human Mom that she’ll go far with her levels and even get to the top level. Have Fun.
I daren’t let the cats play with my electronics; there is so much paw action, that the screen will get scratched! And the fur in the keyboard…LOL!
A family that plays together, stays together – MOL!
Wow Astrid are you better at popping than Mom? Rumpy really goes nuts with these games
Awwww…..that’s such a sweet photo!
The Florida Furkids with smoochies and love to Mau from Allie and paw pats and headbonks to Sawyer from Noelle.
What a priceless photo!
What a sweet photo!
It’s nice to have a companion while playing a game……Astrid probably loves those little disappearing balloons !
Hugs, Teddy
We bet your mom won’t get past the first level without your help. When it comes to popping balloons, cats are the master.
Hey, we love how sweet this photo is.
Awww, that looks so cuddly and cozy!
