NOT SORRY!

Feline Friday

 

Grey cat sitting among a pile of chewed up tissue paper.

 

Do I look apologetic? That wasn’t my intent, as I have no guilt and am not sorry about shredding this paper. My dad left it in plain sight for me to find. I only did what, as a cat, I am instinctually meant to do. And boy did I have fun. Mom told Dad he had to clean up my mess, and he did. It’s great being a furry family member. If I was a kid, Mom would have made me clean it up. Win for me!

I am going to pop over to messymimi’s meanderings. To join me on the blog hop, click on the Feline Friday badge.

Purrs and paw-pats, Kizmet

Friendly Fill-Ins

I am pleased when I can get help completing the fill-ins selected by our blog hop hosts, Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). This week Stinky stepped up and filled in #3. And both Sawyer and I completed #4. We all used teal italics for our completions. Any additional information is in parentheses.

1. When I don’t want to eat, it means that I am sick (or depressed).

2. I really enjoy fireworks. (But I am just as happy now watching them on television as in person. Our upper deck, however, provides a very good spot for watching our city fireworks. I’m not a fan, however, of neighbors setting them off for several days before and after the 4th.)

3. Stinky: I have a newfound appreciation for my mom and Mom Sharon and their ability to find new adventures for Periwinkle and me; even though, we have already shared 190.

4. I think everyone should adopt cats and/or dogs if financially able to care for them so that none ever need to be euthanized.
Sawyer: I think everyone should give their cats as many treats as they want so that their kitties will always feel loved and appreciated.

Those are our fill-ins for this week. Check out either Ellen’s on Lorianne’s blog on Thursday for the Fill-In sentences if you’d like to participate. To join the hop click on the Fill-Ins badge.

Thanks for joining us today.

Please come back tomorrow and help us celebrate Sawyer’s sixth birthday!

    Leave something unattended, and this is what happens!
    More like a performance art project, right Kizmet?

    MOL Kizmet…you’re right when you say it’s good you’re a cat and your Dad had to clean up the shreds!! Great Fill-in answers. We know Angel Raz is smiling at Sawyer’s answer to the last one.

    We look forward to the birthday celebration tomorrow!

    Mom says she has done her part on #4, although we’re not sure what she means by that. We didn’t know cats shred paper. Maybe Mom should take one to work to shred documents? XOX Xena, Lucy, Chia and Riley

    BOY! You shred like NO CAT I have ever seen or heard of. That is an expert shredding if I EVER saw it. And you sure did a great job filling in the blanks. I agree with all of them . I know I told you or Periwinkle not too long ago that I find adventures always fun and interesting and that’s the truth. I know you kitties have work to do for all of us out here before you share your adventures.

    Kizmet we think that’s the best job of shredding we’ve seen in FOREVER! You all did a grand job filling in the blanks this week too – We think Mom and Sawyer did a great job with #4 !!

    Love, Teddy and Mom Pam

    That is serious paper shredding, Kizmet! Good work! Good fill in answers, I think everyone should adopt animals, too!

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.
