JUST BROWSING THE NEW CATNIP PLANT
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.

that is such a sweet and pretty photo!
Why Lisbeth, you are givin’ that lovely nip plant some very nice cheek rubs. You aren’t tryin’ to mark that whole plant as YOURS are you???
That’s a wonderful good looking nip plant ! Do you need help to launch the pawty ? Purrs
Oooh! That looks like a great catnip plant, Lisbeth! You are one lucky girl to get a nice fresh catnip plant like that one. 🙂
We wish our Mom would grow catnip plants. She says every time she tries, someone noms them all the way down to the ground. For the record, we know nothing about that.
Ah, yes…catnip is one of Life’s little pleasures. *wink*
THAT looks like a party in a plant! And the whole blogosphere could join in.
Wow, that’s a nice catnip plant! Samantha’s had started to look pretty sad so I transplanted it to outside in the garden for a while. Once it comes back to life (hopefully) I’ll put it in a pot again so she can have it inside for the winter.
That’s a huge nip plant! Looks like it’s time to harvest!
Good job on guard duty!
You’ve now take a good chomp!
It’s such a pretty plan too! I love those purple flowers!
Looks nice! Hope my mum buys me some 🙂

I should get one of those plants for my cat but I’m afraid he will get a catnip overdose – that’s how much he loves catnip 🙂
MOL! Lisbeth, are you sure you’re not *sampling* the new catnip plant? 🙂
Gosh, our nip plants never get that big! Now, go for it! 😀
Guarding the goods?!?!
Great photo of you Lisbeth and that is a nice plant.
Great job browsing, Lisbeth. Now, if you ask me, it’s time to dig in!
That’s a mighty healthy looking nip plant – I’d say it’s time to take a bite – but not too much…….just a bit of a trim!
Hugs, Sammy
Stop browsing…and start eating! Yum! 🙂
Wow! There is enough nip there to start a business.
Is there anything we can help you with Lisbeth?
Whoa! That is going to be quite a harvest!
