BLACK CATS ROCK!

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #128

Two of our angel Kitties Blue are joining the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop hosted each week by Ellen (15 and Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). Each Thursday, you can find four sentences to complete on their blogs. Then on Friday we post the filled-in sentences to share some information about ourselves with our fellow bloggers. If you’d like to take part, click on the Fill-Ins badge.

My completions are in teal italics.

1. Cleaning litter boxes is an awful chore, especially in a house with eight cats.

2. I always read the Business sections of the newspaper on Sundays.

3. Black cats are special and should be adored.

Our beautiful black panfur angels, Thelma & Twinkle.

4. Candy Corn is my favorite treat this time of year; though, I rarely buy it. It is straight sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

Angels Thelma and Twinkle are joining the Feline Friday blog hop at Comedy Plus as well. Click on the badge below to go there and enter your link.

I don’t mind scooping litter boxes at all! Sweeping up litter that’s strewn all over the floor…that’s the pain!
By the way, are you able to comment on my blog? I changed the comments to a full page, but many folks said they couldn’t comment, so I switched again. No one has mentioned any problems, so just asking.

Maybe that litterbox chore is why so many peeps still let their kitties outside…the older son was asked if he would buy a house, would he get a kitty or a dog. He said dog, cause he too was not a fan of litter boxes…and yet he loves our Pipo, go figure!
(And it was he who had the chore to pick up after MJF when he was still living at home, MOL!)

Thelma and Twinkly were adorable. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I know about the awful job of litter boxes 🙂 Whenever my hubby is grumbling about it, I tell him it is like panning for gold. I agree with your statement on black cats 🙂 Have a nice weekend! XO

Until the moment I first saw Ellie, I’d never considered a black cat. Nothing against them … they just weren’t on my radar. And then I took a look with my heart instead of my head …

We hear picking up the yard after a dog is no fun either. Just sayin! MOL!

I agree, black cats rock. My last kitty was black and she was the best kitty ever.

I never liked cleaning litter boxes either.

Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥

We’ve always thought black kitties were absolutely gorgeous…..sleek, shiny and beautiful. But then ALL kitties are adorable in their own special ways. Mom says LOVE makes that happen (!). Have a super Friday.

Hugs, Teddy

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.

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.
