Calista Josette
Calista Josette had just finished a hard play session with a favorite ratty, stuffing-impaired, fuzzy toy that once resembled a dog when I snapped this. Prior to her playtime, she had pulled my fleece warmie off the back of a kitchen stool. She snuggled in and had a good, long nap. After she arose, it went straight to the wash.
If you don’t need to shovel snow today just to escape confinement in your home, take it easy like Calista and enjoy a warm and snuggly day. Happy Sunday!
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.

Calista, that was very smart of you to pull that fleece off the chair and take a nice nap on it. We love to nap on our Mom’s clean clothes. Have a great day.
The bestest toys are those that have been well loved!
Pretty Calista knows a good snuggle spot when she see one. Those old warn toys are always my cat’s favorites!
I have got a stuffing impaired rat too which I have had since I was a kitten. I call him Scruffy Rat but mum calls him Fred Bare.

Have a nice Sunday snooze!
Ratty toys are well-loved toys!
Enjoy your snoozy pretty one!
Nothing beats a good ratty rumble and a nap on Sunday!
Calista is all ready for her Easy! 🙂 Have a wonderful Sunday!
Ratty toys are the best ones of all!
Such a pretty kitty! Is she named after Calista Flockhart from Ally McBeal? 🙂
Calista looks QUITE comfy on her fleece “nest” ! As far as I’m concerned there can’t be too many fleece items around a house – they ALL make fabulous sleepy-time spots! Happy Sunday………..
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
