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.

MOL this is SOOOOO like Raz and Noelle!!
The Florida Furkids with special love and smoochies to Mau from Allie
Wow, ears all laid back…hissing too I imagine. Sometimes in the past Minko would dothat with me too…
I hope you figured out your differences and made up into a nice cuddle.

A small disagreement I see.

Wow, that’s some grade A tussling, you two! As long as you’re just playing, it looks like fun!
IS that little SAWYER!?!?!?!?! Good heavens!!!!
You two look like us when we’re fighting! It’s usually a draw ‘cuz Mom tends to break it up. She says she doesn’t want tufts of fur around the house. She always spoils everything!
Stereo purrs…………Hemingway and Steinbeck
It looks as though you two boys are both feeling much better these days 🙂 Hooray! XO
the critters in the cottage xo
Well, Cooper M HAS been sick !
Boys will be boys 🙂
Oh no! You two play nice…nicer!
that is such a wonderful action shot!! Frodo is usually the one crying uncle when he and Frodo “play” fight!
He doesn’t look happy. He’ll be on top next time I’m sure.
Oh what a great photo! Looks like a ton of fun too.
I don’t read ‘uncle’…I see a big chomp coming to Sawyer!
This is exactly how Toby and I “play”, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer! My mom says sometimes we get too rough for her liking. Other times, she starts playing “Eye of the Tiger” on the radio during our wrestling matches. She’s weird like that. Anyway, it’s usually Toby who has to cry “uncle” around here, because I’m just that good. We orange boys are tough, aren’t we Cooper Murphy! Purrs, Evan
MOL! Cooper Murphy, we think you’ve met your match!
You two are so darn cute!
Looks like you both are having a great time.
Memories of Eric and Flynn
Looks like that little Sawyer is getting the best of him! 🙂
That is a FABULOUS photo………the young’uns having a tussle and I’d say Sawyer has the best of things – they look so cute!! I think Coop is giving the little guy a break and LETTING him win……..it’s what big brothers do.
Hugs, Teddy
Looks like fun!!
I think you two are having LOADS of fun!
Great capture. I wish I had that kind of energy. They are sure fun to watch though, aren’t they? I am so slow at posting, but I will get there! Love you all!
So! Sawyer is on top? Often Jack and Tigger fight and Tigger always wins! She has a goodly weight!
