Wordless Wednesday
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.

Those rascals are very smart and they will ponder and try out solutions to problems like how to get that food, until they succeed…be it today or tomorrow or later, they persevere and don’t give up!
But…they cannot get up my stovepipe pole wraps! MOL!
We want to visit and check out Mr Squirrel. Wow
That is a great shot. XO
Squirrels are creative when they want food.
Now that takes talent and skill!
Aren’t squirrels the most amazing, athletic and cute little things! I love the title of that shot – MOL!
What a great shot. They will go to such lengths to get to the bird food. Fun to watch.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to mom. ♥
MOL we wonder if he is related to OUR squirrel?
The Florida Furkids with smoochies and love to Mau from Allie and paw pats and headbonks to Sawyer from Noelle
Where there is will, there is a way!
Ah, determination! Great picture!
Very cool! Circus tent effect with Mr. Squirrel performing a high wire (or high feeder?) act as he miraculously is able to raid the bird feeder in mid-air!
Hugs, Teddy and Mom too
That is extra special Squirrel TV!
Wow, now THAT is acrobatic!
