We know it is Wordless Wednesday, but we have just a few words: We all appreciate the comments and e-mails with regard to Fiona getting her wings. This is the most, caring, compassionate and loving community. Mom and/or Giulietta will be contacting each of you purrsonally as they can. We will have a post tomorrow sharing the beautiful badges and cards we have received. Thank you for all your kindness.
Purrs and paw-pats, Kitties Blue
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.

Hugs from all of us, and waving paws to that squirrel ! Purrs
What a polite and thoughtful squirrel to wave goodbye like that. We are pretty sure he’s saying, “see you when I get to the Bridge, Fiona.” Hugs and love to you all, dear friends.
Hugs from all of us and waves to you silly squirrel.
Aww, Mr. Squirrel is saying “bye”. Watch out for me from the Bridge, and maybe drop a few peanuts when you can.
Looks like that squirrel needs a good manicure! Man!
Glad you’re feeling a little better. I know you won’t be whole for awhile yet, but it’s good to see you writing and sharing.

Such a cute squirrel! It is great that he lets you get close enough to get such great photos. I’m still praying for your healing. Please take care of yourself. Everyone will wait for you to respond to us when you are ready. *hugs*
That is a great photo of the squirrel. Fiona will be greatly missed.
That’s a great picture! It breaks my heart to hear about Fiona.
What a thoughtful squirrel you have. Most take off without saying anything.
Continued purrs for all of you as you go through this most difficult time.
Your squirrel is friendly.
Hey there, you squirrel!
We will miss seeing Fiona and will always keep her in our heart.
What a super photo! So sorry again about Fiona. Hope you are doing ok
Good of you to bid Fiona goodbye Mr Squirrel.
Now make a hasty retreat, there are other cats 😉
MOL!
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
Thank you for your kind thoughts for Treasure.
We miss him.
What a cute picture! Our squirrels are not going anywhere. They eat here and have all gotten huge! We love them, though.
That photo is beyond sweet ((((hugs)))))
What a cool squirrel shot!!
What a thoughtful squirrel. You are of course still in our thoughts and prayers. Beautiful Fiona will never be forgotten.
( Four kitties tumble out of the teleporter in front of Kitties Blue. They quietly assume the meatloaf positon and begin purring their bestest purrs. )
We are sorry to hear about Miss Fiona. We will purr for her memory and for all the empties she left in yourown hearts.
She will be happy and well again at The Rainbow Bridge.

How nice of Mr. Squirrel to wave goodbye to sweet Fiona…..We know the kitties at the Kitties Blue house love to watch them. We also know how hard it is losing a family member any time of the year but somehow at holiday time it hits harder than ever. Knowing Fiona is at last at peace helps but missing her will go on forever……
Love, Pam
Sending gentle purrs to you! The squirrel is high fiving!!
I wonder if that squirrel is expecting treats – when I wave “bye-bye,” I get ’em!
Is the squirrel shouting at you to get off the fence?
What a cute and apt picture of that squirrel dude!
He must know…
((((( ♥ )))))
A send off befitting the gentle beauty of Fiona. She is much loved and will never be forgotten.
