Wordless Wednesday

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.

What a wonderful photo!! Happy Wednesday!
What a cheeky squirrel!
EEKS! A rat in a furry costume. XO
I just love squirrels! Fun to watch them- great close-up shot! Cheers!
That is one bushy Skwerl! Wonder if he is related to ours?
MOL thanks for the chuckle.

Such a nutty one!
What a cute Squirrel. If you ever see a feeder that claims it’s Squirrel proof don’t believe it, no such thing as a Squirrel proof feeder. They always find a way into the feeders.
We loved your pic.
What a cutie, and an amazing photo!
Squirrels are evil, just ask any kitty, but they are cute. Don’t tell the kitties I said that.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to all the kitties and a big hug to the mom. ♥
Squirrels are really quite adorable, and this is an excellent image!
I do believe I have gentleman just like this!
Oh that’s a cutie – looking for a handout no doubt!!
Hugs, Teddy
Cheeky squirrel!
Want to pounce SOO bad!
Hahahaha. Why do I imagine Cooper Murphy laying a trail of nuts into the catio? Not exactly what the squirrel bargained for!
OMC!! What a great closeup!!
He/she would have had lots of nuts here, the other day, my feeder pole gave up and everything on it crashed to the ground. *She* didn’t notice anything was amiss till after lunchtime…sure that some critter other than birds were having a feast…and when she went out there to fix the problem, the birds were scolding here all the time, and they were right back on the feeders as soon as she went back in the house. Pipo was happy to have his Burd Channel fixed, too:)
Yes, indeed. That little one is definitely asking that question! 🙂
Great capture, dear friends. Happy Wednesday! XO
