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.

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.

It’s just too bad that we must double-check every task that we assign to our human assistants,,,,keep up the good work !
Yes it is! Maybe you will be allowed to help your Mama create something artistic 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Did the mom handle is exactly right? These humans need our snoopervision yanno! 😉
Kinda fun when we see ourselves on the screen isn’t it?!?!?! Nice that you’re helping your Mom out – they need our guidance sometimes when they’re in cyberspace!
Hugs, Sammy
TW never has to worry about me sitting on her lap when she uses the computer or any time. Sometimes I’ll jump up on the desk when Pop is using the computer.
Awww…how cute 🙂
And it looks like your mom is gonna make your picture even more beautiful, Calista Jo.
Purr-fect soopervising buddy! One with a great eye, too!
Good job, Calista Jo! You make sure things are done right! 🙂
Calista Jo you are a very laid back supervisor!! I like that!! 🙂 xox
Very precious moment! It is always good to supervise your human while they edit your photos. You wouldn’t want to come off looking too fluffy. 🙂 I think you look great.
Aaaaaw isn’t dat da sweetest. Hav a pawsum day and stay warm. By da way, weez got a email wiff a 3.00 off coupon fwum Purina. We wunnewed ifin yous wuld like it. We don’t like to furward these kinds of emails ifin peeps not want ’em, cuz you might hav gotten da same email. But we fawt we wuld ask. Hav a pawsum day.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Yes it is!!!!
The Florida Furkids with special smoochies and nose kisses to Mau from Allie
That IS you! Good thing you are there to snoopervise. You wouldn’t want Mom to be posting any unseemly photos of you! 😉
Sampy sends kazillions of kisses to Astrid, and we all send lots of love!
Oh Calista Jo you are the best in micromanaging kitty that we have ever seen. Keep up the good work and make sure your mom don’t open a tab on women’s shoes. That’s how our mom/secretary loses productivity – looking at those sexy shoes she can never wear anyway 🙂
Aww… how cute!
Purrs xx
Athena and Marie
Were you helping her edit your photo??
Great job snoopervising.
You are a star!
Noodle and crew
Great job! Pretty comfy desk you got there! *wags* – Gilligan from WagsAhoy.com
What do you think about seeing yourself? Leo loves it as does Huxley. Wilhelm is indifferent but Brychwyn and Amelia get annoyed with seeing themselves on screens. Such funny personalities!
Aw I love how she helps you work!
Now that is one happy kitty all comfy and helping mom get her work done!
Rhette has to be ON the lap not the computer, don’t work too hard! Love Dolly
Looks like you’re working on your Caturday Art!
…and you look beautiful!!
Happy Wordless Wednesday Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
We can see you!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
MOL! That’s where I am right now! Happy Wednesday.
Your famous! Hee, Hee! Happy WW!
LOL hard at work we see. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Yup, it are!
She looks quite pleased to see herself too!
This is so sweet. Now I know ehat Chloe Jo and I must look like! I love this! Maybe you should frame it for your writing area! ~xo~
It sure is, MOL!
Now you know what she does…
Purrs!
