FILL-INS, BLOG HOPS & A BIRTHDAY

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #226

I am joining the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). If you’d like to participate and let your followers know a bit more about yourself, you can find the sentences to be filled in on both blogs on Thursdays. To join the hop, click on the badge at the left, which will take you to Four-Legged Furballs.

I had a lot of help in filling in this week and thank Misty May and Sawyer for their input. We all used teal italics for our fill-ins. Explanatory information is in parentheses.

Misty May: 1. My caterwauling and pestiness while she is trying to sleep is too annoying, according to Mom.

2. I am willing to give up traveling and vacations for Sawyer, so someone can be at home with him at all times. (COVID-19 has made this easy.)

Misty May: 3. One random fact about me is that I had another brofur. (Mom and Dad had only planned to adopt two cats, and our litter mate was sort of shy and didn’t take to them like Mau and I did.)

Sawyer: 4. Among Kitties Blue, my lack of a tail and my seizure disorder makes me unique.

Birthday Wishes

Finally, we are sending our best wishes for a happy birthday to our dear friend, Teddy and Angel Sammy’s mom, Pam!

 

 

Of course, Cooper Murphy made a cake for Pam.

 

 

If you’d like to wish Pam a Happy Birthday, visit her at Two Spoiled Cats.

    Great answers. We’re sorry Sawyer had a seizure and hope it wasn’t a bad one.

    Allie was our caterwauler. Mom says she misses hearing her.

    How sweet you are to wish me a Happy Birthday! You made it extra special my friend. I’m sorry to learn our Sawyer had a seizure last night again. Each seizure makes my heart ache more for him but he’s a strong little guy and has the perfect home to be in with his seizure disorder. Surrounded by love is the very BEST medicine of all………..I should know! 🙂

    Love, Pam

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.
