This week’s Looking Back post is from a previous Wordless Wednesday, and I think it’s one you will thoroughly enjoy. As a bonus, there’s nothing to read, just an incredibly adorable photo of our first ginger tabby, Mackenzie. It is from October 10, 2012, and here is the link: “Wordless Wednesday: Cat Nap Attack.”
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.

What a great photo! Kizmet, that suitcase *does* look pretty cozy. 🙂
You look ready to travel Kizmet!
I bet they were all happy when you and Tom got home. XO
That looks like a comfy lounge you’ve got sweet Kizmet!
That is a nice cart! It looks like Mom’s sewing machine case!
I think the somewhat crinkly sounds the lining in a suitcase makes give iit extra appeal for kitties!
Sweet picture!
Where ya’ goin, Kismet?
It’s funny how all cats love suitcases.
Let’s go for a trip, Kizmet!
Kizmet wants to be a traveling cat!
The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle
Kismet is going along and that’s that. So adorable. Way to go, Kismet.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to all the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
Empty suitcases are just plain tough to resist!
Hugs, Teddy
The suitcase suits Kizmet very well!
