IT WAS A DARK YET STARRY NIGHT

Caturday Art

Caturday Art

 

Calista Jo is the subject of today’s art. She is in her go-to napping spot on Dad Tom’s and my bed.

To create the art I began with the Dark Art effect from LunaPic. I then added the Starry Night filter from piZap at 60 percent as well as the Cloud overlay. At that point, I felt the photo was looking a little muddy, so I used Boost from Picasa at about 15 percent to brighten it up a bit.

Calista Jo will be hopping over to join Athena Cat Goddess’ Caturday Art blog hop. If you’d like to do the same, click on her badge.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

We realize that tomorrow is a big day with it being both Groundhog Day and Super Bowl Sunday. So, may we suggest you get that selfie snapped today and scheduled now to post tomorrow. After all, you don’t want to disturb your humans while they are crying over six more weeks of winter or the fact that their team is not in the Super Bowl. And you definitely don’t want to disturb them during those highly touted and anticipated commercials.

Kitties Blue and I will be tiptoeing around tomorrow evening, as Dad Tom’s team, the San Francisco 49ers, are playing in the Super Bowl. Paws crossed they win.

    That’s a beautiful piece of artwork!!! Dad was from Kansas City but didn’t watch football when Mom moved here. Our step-sister says he was a big fan when he was younger.

    That is a very beautiful and nicely blue artwork!

    I have to work Sat & Sun, so I won’t see but bits and snatches of that game, and only if residents are watching it.
    Selfies?? Who knows when I will get to those…likely lately! MOL!

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.
