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.

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.

I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog.
Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one today.
This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep
a reader amused. Between your wit and your
videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
I can use a dishwasher here too…petcretary often forgets until she has to refill my bowl…sheesh!
Love your face! Its one of utter delight in whatevfur you were tasting…or washing, MOL!
Hello my friend! I wish to say that this post is amazing, great written and come with almost all important infos.
I’d like to peer more posts like this .
It looks like you just took a good sip of cool water, Sawyer ! The sink is a good place for staying cool during the hots, but be careful with the faucet ! Purrs
It’s always nice to be helpful.
Do you humans like the stainless steel straws? I’ve thought about getting some, but I worry about accidentally chipping a tooth. We don’t use straws at home, but would like to get some to carry along to restaurants instead of using plastic straws. Mom doesn’t like drinking through ice without a straw.
Good helping, Sawyer! Your mom sure is lucky!
Hey! You are just like Ninja! He too likes drinking water out og glasses in the sink! Mom had NEVER seen that before!
Purrs

Sawyer, are you looking for a bath?? Or maybe that’s a cool spot to hang out.
Looks like you are not happy doing chores!
Allie is our sink cat!!
The Florida Furkids with bazillion smoochies and tons of love to Mau from Allie
Awwww…you are sweet.
Sawyer, you’re helping your momma’s blood pressure go up, I’m guessing…even tho’ you are stinkin’ cute!
I see you’re telling mom how to do it right. Good for you.
Have a purrfect Wordless Wednesday. My best to your peeps and all the other kitties. ♥
Helper? Aren’t you more like manager level, Sawyer? Perhaps even CEO? Either way, you’re one handsome mancat!
That is a priceless expression!
Darn good job you little sinker!
Well that looks like a great place to have a sip of water. We have never sat in the sink but we might have to try that. You all have a terrific day.
And such a good little helper, too! I’ve got some of those around here! 😀 <3
Looks like you are keeping cool, Sawyer.
Oh Sawyer it looks like you’re having a refreshing drink using that straw….haha….I’m a sink boy too but instead of sitting in it, I drink water from it. My latest thing is Mom fills the sink with water and I drink (and play) in it! WHEEEEE!
Hugs, Teddy
Sawyer, I didn’t know you were a sink cat!
I like to get in da sink too sometimes Sawyer – just be careful nobody turns on da water!
