EASY LIKE SUNDAY WITH CALISTA JOSETTE

by Janet Blue on October 6, 2013

In honor of Lou Belcher from HH and the Boys completing Calista Jo’s portrait for her series 30 Paintings in 30 Days, CJ is being featured this Sunday. She proved to be a little chameleon each time Lou attempted to paint her, but finally Lou, CJ and I are happy with the results, and Calista’s portrait will soon be winging it’s way here to join those of Fiona and Madison.

Calista is exhausted from all Lou’s hard work and so decided she needed to spend today resting. But imagine my surprise when I discovered where she was napping.

Don’t I have the cutest toes and pink paw pads?

So here she is napping in Lily Olivia’s antique, wooden, dough bowl, (first posted about in “The Cat Bowl”) which Lily begrudgingly shares with Astrid. Lily was upstairs when CJ snuck into her bowl so does not know of the indiscretion. If Astrid doesn’t get in the bowl and obliterate Calista’s scent prior to Lily taking up residence again, I’m sure their will be some consternation and huffy, hissiness from Lily.

But so far all is well. The only question is whether or not Calista will try this snoozing place again.

P.S. Please don’t forget to visit HH and the Boys today to see Calista’s portrait.

You asked about TockTober. Derby has his birthday in October and a few years ago named it TockTober and asked for pictures of ‘tocks during that month. Here is his most recent reminder.

Clooney October 7, 2013 at 1:06 am: What a great napping spot, Calista Jo! And we love your painting, it is gorgeous!
Oui Oui October 6, 2013 at 11:45 pm: We love the idea of 30 paintings in 30 days. In art class we did gesture sketches, having 10 seconds to draw a human and working up to 30 seconds. It helps keep you loose and develops your eye. I think the paintings must work that way too. We’re off to see CJ ‘s painting now.

This blog is dedicated to the memory of our angels, Fiona & Lily Olivia, who were with us when this journey began.

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.
