* Ogden Nash
HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SCRATCH FOR EVERY ITCH*
Social Media
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.

When you have an itch, you need to scritch. You are a cutie.
Everything in our house is multipurpose. And it seems like one of the purposes of everything is as a good ol’ itcher scratcher, just like at your house, Calista Jo! You gotta do what you gotta do to scratch those itches. Purrs!
We so agree with you about getting scritches.
Sweet photo…….furniture, plants, walls – doesn’t matter WHAT we use (even a human leg now and again!) we must scratch that itch!
Hugs, Sammy
Scratch that itch and have fun!!
Yep, totally agree!
Rub dat itch!
