ONE BOX + TWO KITTENS & FILL-INS

Feline/Friendship Friday

Boxes are always good for a fun time even when one is just a kitten.

Raleigh and Audrey will be participating in the Feline Friday (Comedy Plus) and Friendship Friday (Create With Joy) blog hops.

Friendly Fill-Ins

I am so lucky that once again both Sawyer and Stinky stepped up to assist with fill-ins. As usual, we all used teal italics for our fill-ins, and explanatory information is in parentheses.

1. A pleasant memory that I have from grade school is trick-or-treating all over the neighborhood after dark without having to have parental supervision or worrying about some bad person putting something harmful in our bag.
2. My plans this month include installing and learning how to use Google Analytics 4.
3. Sawyer: Please don’t ask me to choose between Noelle and treats.
4. Stinky: In two years, I see myself married to Periwinkle if she’ll have me. (I can be quite a pawful!)

Sawyer, Stinky and I are joining the Friendly Fill-ins blog hop hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged- Furballs). To do the same, check out either of their blogs on Thursday for the sentences to be filled in. You can join the hop by clicking on their badge.

We’ll be back tomorrow with some Caturday Art.

    Buy a box of toys for the kitties. Throw away the toys and give the box to the kitties. They will be happy.

    Love your fill-ins and especially #4 and I’m sure she’ll have you.

    Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

    Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥

    Our Callie loves boxes better than her toys.

    Kittens are such fun!!! Mom remembers trick or treating like that too.
    Periwinkle gasped when she read Stinky’s answer!!! She loves that boy so much!!!

    The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle (who says she’d share her treats with him)

    Kittens and boxes are a natural MATCH! My Mom remembers the old days when trick or treating was nothing but FUN – no worries. Times have sure changed.

    Hugs, Teddy

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.
