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.
© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17

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.

If I had a dollar for every time this happened here… I’d be rich!!! MOL!
Sampy sends a kiss to Astrid for every treat, and we all send lots of love!
Now where did I put the broom… Mom! where big bowl to put all our yummy foods? We gonna eat dat. mol
Happy belated Birthday to Tom!
purrz from Katie Kat.
MOL! Apparently so, Kitties Blue! 🙂
We hope everyone had seconds and thirds! :p
Lots of love and hugs to your Mama! Also a belated Happy Birthday to Tom! We hope his day was as special as he is 🙂 Our Mama apologizes for being so lame about commenting.The Wet Potato is almost all consuming (after work and us kitties of course!) XOXO
WOOHOO!!! They didn’t empty it though! That’s self control MOL
Dang! I should come to your house to eat. ~Wally
We can come over and help you clean up that nommy mess if you’d like!
MOL Dig in now afur da mommy picks it all up. MOL
luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Looks like party time at your place!
Someone is in trouble. At least you are full 🙂
mom says this is why our treat container has a screw on lid. good job!!
Well, this picture certainly speaks volumes. Was any kitty caught in the act? Any primary suspects as of yet? There should be stern punishment, like having to suffer through a long, torturous session of human cuddles.
PAWTY!
Good for you! I (Magellan) tried to open a new can of food on my own this week – but found that for some things, I still need my humans and their opposable thumbs!
Before anyone says anything, it WASN’T me, those crumbs were a plant, ok technically they were toast but… Anyways, I’m sure it wasn’t you either! purrs Erin
Sometimes the humans are too busy so we cats just help them out a little bit. We are helpful creates by nature.
uh oh who made that mess?? Why did you leave evidence?
LeeAnna at not afraid of color
Naughty kitties!
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
BwaahahahHa!! Looks like TKS could live with you guys
Someone there is as talented as Lexy is! Kitties, in a few weeks mommy will not be working in Sundays anymore, and we’ll be abe to participate in sunday selfies! Yay!
Uhoh……….caught red-pawed! It’s easy to tip over the BIG BOX OF FOOD……and help yourselves. It will teach the peeps to close that lid ALL THE WAY that’s for sure! YUM!
Love, Sam
At my house treats (or food) do not need to be spilled. My 2cats2 just sit in front of the cat food storage and take on one of two looks: ‘very intelligent’ or ‘poor supplicant’ — my heart melt and I serve them without delay . . .
Woo Hoo – what a lot of treats!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
MOL!! I used to get into the treats, too. Now mom has them in a jar with a screw top lid. I can’t figure how to open it yet – but I keep trying!!
MOL! That is the BIG downside of being in a canned-and-raw-food only cat family – we can’t do this!!
I just had to share what my cat (Yuna) and rat (Coheed) did this morning, even though it might be off topic! I had let Coheed out to run around on the couch, and Yuna was being her lazy self just soaking up the sunshine in the window. I (very stupidly) set a bowl of cereal on the arm of the couch for a split second to go get a cup of coffee. I come back, and Coheed had spilled the bowl of cheerios and was just nibbling away, while Yuna was lapping up the milk! It was so funny I couldn’t be mad! It’s cute how they work together to cause chaos, but you gotta love them!
DINNER!
Score!!!!!
