MEYOWL-O-WEEN CATURDAY ART

Caturday Art Blog Hop

Not only is it Caturday and time for art, but it’s also Meyowl-o-ween! Because it is a special day, our art is a bit different today. Mom made each of us a virtual costume so we could compete in onespoiledcat‘s Sam-o-ween costume contest. The winners will be announced today. None of us expect to win. The winners usually are those wearing real costumes, which we emphatically refuse to do. Nonetheless, we are sharing our costumes with you today and taking part in Athena and Marie’s Caturday Art Blog Hop.

To enter your own art in Athena and Marie’s Blog Hop and/or view the other submissions, click on their badge above.

Just as a reminder to all our kitty and woofie friends: Stay inside tonight and stay safe. Don’t try to dart out the door when your humans are handing out candy. Best to stay in another room and listen to some nice soothing music.

Sunday Selfies Blog Hop

If this is Caturday, that means tomorrow is our Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. We are trying to come up with something clever for tomorrow’s post—maybe one of us will put on our most ghoulish expression before snapping a couple of selfies. Lily is particularly good at that! You’ll just have to stop by to see who gets the honor of being your host.

Jackson Galaxy Interview

If you missed it yesterday, Mom published the first in a series of three posts resulting from her telephone interview with cat behaviorist and Animal Planet personality, Jackson Galaxy. Yesterday’s post highlighted his organization, the Jackson Galaxy Foundation. A link to that post can be found at the bottom of this page.

Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    I love your costumes- every one of them 🙂 I wish I could edit that well and then I wouldn’t have to torture myself dressing the kitties ( yes, I am more tortured than them).

    We think your costumes were very creative! We usually only do virtual costumes, but sometimes the mom suckers us into wearing the real thing.

    Happy Meowloween!

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.
