Next post: LOVE FOR RESCUE CATS
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.

That’s one way of doing it 🙂
Oh wow, you can say that again!

Oh my goodness!
Pierrot’s claws are getting very long. I’m not sure the big guy could manage this though.

Um…usually we are head up facing the rear when that happens here, MOL!! What a relaxed kitty in that picture,MOL!
Wow, Gracie and Zoe would never allow that. Angel Moosey, maybe. 🙂

This looks like a dangerous task! MOL! Dexter might let me try that, but Manna would beat me savagely for turning her upside down. She will lay that way when she wants to, but I can’t put her that way. 🙂

We would be kicking and squirming for sure!

Upside down kitty, MOL! You do look quite comfy in that position.
Our humans double team each kitty. Mommy would be petting, scritching, belly rubbing while the daddy clip our claws.

I don’t know if I would hold still for that!

What a cat…he must like it. We don’t care for it and would shred anyone that tried to have us on our back. We have to be told how remarkable we are and the person must honour us with treats galore. MOL

Talk about a picture saying a thousand words! Actually, sometimes housemate Toby lets me trim his nails in that very same pose. Other times he turns it into a wrestling match.

Fortunately Hannah and Lucy don’t need to have their claws trimmed as they sharpen their claws on our fence!!
