“HEY MAU, WANNA PLAY?”
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.

We are familiar to the game too. I play it with mom at 3am…she’s never too keen on playing at that time but I don’t give up.

I love the boop-head game. Fergus has been doing that move with the new baby foster kitties. He love, love, loves them! And they seem to already know this game at just 5 weeks old.

That must be the bippity-bop gotcha game! MOL! So cute to watch when kitties have fun together. Somehow we think Cooper wants to play more than Mau is desiring…or maybe Mau would rather play hide & seek?
That is sweet. We love to see the interaction between critters. Hugs.
So fun! I hope that they had a fun play time. 🙂 Manna and Dexter love those over and under games too. Chairs make a great place to start a game!
Are you going to play Mau? It will be fun 🙂 XO
Were you able to convince him, Cooper?
You two have a fun day all ready to go!
Aww, that is so sweet.
Great action photos! Who won?
come over here 🙂
We’d play that game if Mau doesn’t want to!
Looks like Mau doesn’t want to play, Cooper Murphy. You gotta really convince him!
We love playing that game around here. Sometimes we don’t hiss when tapped! 🙀😹
Oh, do you boys give each other boops on the head, too? We’re glad we’re not the only boopers around. Purrs!
Sweet boy! I hope Mau will play with him.
I’d say that’s a “tentative” step in the right direction – maybe a poke here and there will get those two playing together?!
Hugs, Pam
Mau does not look convinced – maybe he just wanted your seat!
I’ll play if Mau doesn’t want to.
