HALLOWEEN 2013

BOO EFURRYBUDDY!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

We want to share this year’s costumes with you. But first, we apologize for any trouble you might have had visiting us yesterday. WestHosts, where our blog is housed, was hacked again yesterday. All accounts were suspended for about six hours. That shut-down included our e-mail. We are sorry for any inconvenience if you tried to visit.

Now, without further ado, we present to you: Halloween 2013.

Mauricio Mouse and Misty May Mouse

Mauricio, Misty May and Lily Olivia competed in the Sam-o-Ween Costume Contest at onespoiledcat. They didn’t get too many votes, but they had a scary good time at Sammy’s Spooktacular Pawty. If you haven’t been there, don’t forget to drop by today and visit Sammy’s Haunted House.

Texas (Texas, a Cat in New York Austin) and Lisbeth are enjoying the Howl-o-Ween Ball going on at Misaki‘s and Mollie’s. They didn’t garner many votes in any of the costume categories. But they are having a great time dancing and making new friends.

And finally…

Enjoy the spookiness and scariness of the evening, but please stay safe, and if you are a kitty, please stay indoors.

Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Oooo you all look very spooky! I’m sorry I don’t comment as often as I would like to here, I get your email everyday but I generally use my iPad and for some reason the link doesn’t seem to always work… I think I’m going to save you in my favourites toolbar because well you know… We’re family! =^.^=

    We think you all look pawsome! We hope you had a Happy Halloween.

    We did notice that Mauricio and Ellie had similar costumes. We think it was extra special ManCatly of him to endure that to earn a badge for his Troop. In fact, Allie was FURRY impurressed!!

    Lisbeth and Texas you two look so elegant. I would bow down to you two anyday.
    Mauricio you are such the cat. Fairy Princess. What a hoot. You and Misty Mae really do have the ears down but watch out when the nip is flowing. Your family may pounce on you MOL
    Tigerlilly you are Spooooky! Great!
    Hope you all enjoyed our party too.

    Now Dad wants a word
    Just a comment on hosting. I have been with a hosting company for, oh, over 10 years as a re-seller. I have been down 1 day. I have had some email issues but easily fixed with only a single message. I checked on westhost and the reviews are awful 2 or 3 stars and this from persons who have been customers and are leaving. Just a FYI. Glad you are back up and running.

    Hi Kitties! HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN to you too! Thanks again for entering my costume contest – you all looked truly spooktacular in your outfits…..I wish everybody could have won a prize. Sundae and I are having fun at Mollie and Misaki’s ball too – always something going on with those two girls!!! I’ll be inside and safe tonight when all the little goblins are tricking and treating – but I’ll be watching out from my safe spot so I can see what costumes the kiddies have on!!! HAVE A SAFE NIGHT!

    Kitty Hugs, Sammy

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.

© Janet Buickerood Blue 06/01/2017

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.
