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.

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 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.

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.
© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17
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 is very beautiful <3
So beautiful Astrid!
Mom cried when she heard last night, she said it was like losing her Tortie, Saffie. She loved Truffles as if she were her own. If there was anything she could do to make her mom feel better she would do it in a second. Love Dolly
You would always see Saffie in a sun puddle too, her nickname was the Sunshine Kitty, it must be a Tortie think.
Good day, Sunshine indeed!!! Astrid – you look luxuriously beautiful laying out in the sun like that. Sampy is so wishing that he could lay out with you. He is sitting here admiring your lovely photos. He is also sending you a kiss for every ray of sunshine, and all of his love. Hugs from all of us to all of you!
Hurray for sun puddles!
Noodle and crew
What true Tortie beauty. Sleek and colored like the rarest confection.
There’s nothing better than sunbathing!
Sun Puddles: When our friends have sudden loss, we hold those we love even dearer, heading for the sunshine being a lovely thing to do. Enjoy your sun-day, sweet Astrid. Purrrrs….
Enjoy your sunbathing!
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
Happy sunbathing! I like to lie in the sun too until I am so hot I almost pass out!
Sunshine is a definite good thing! Enjoy.
We were very sad to learn of Truffles sudden passing and have written to Miss Melissa…………As for lying in the sunshine – Astrid you look like you’re enjoying it a LOT!
Hugs, Sammy
You are certainly a beautiful tortie enjoying the sun!! Don’t get overheated!!
Is that big cat cup full of nip? If so can we come over and visit?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Enjoy your sun!
That is an awesome sun puddle you have there, Astrid!
I can imagine that your fur is hot to touch. Bentley comes inside and will be so hot from catching some rays! I’m very sad for Melissa. ♥
Is that a huge cup of *gasp* catnip behind you???
You seem awfully calm if it is….
