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.

So very sorry to hear that you lost your sweet Olivia. She sounded like an awesome cat. We have had and have Calico cats and they are wonderful. I know she was well loved & will be missed by all. May you cherish her sweet memory. Sending hugs & purrs from all our cats and us.
I’m so sorry that you lost your sweet furry girl. I know how heartbreaking this is.

Farewell, Lily Olivia.
Rest in peace.
We’re a bit late, but we want to pay our respect to Lily Olivia . We’re very sorry for your loss, and we’re sure you miss her deeply. 🙁
I’m so sorry about Lily Olivia. I knew she was slowing down but didn’t know she was this close, but then they don’t often even let you know. It’s very difficult to lose during a holiday, but her spirit may have chosen this time of change to make this change for herself, knowing you would understand. Now you can remember the softer parts of Lily Olivia, and let the catitude fade just a bit. I hope Sawyer was a good listener. You know there is a part of her in every feline in your household. Our sympathies.
Dear Mom Janet and Dad Tom and Kitties Blue,
We are so, very sorry and sad to hear of your unexpected loss of Lily Olivia. We send you our most heart-felt gentle purrs to touch your grieving hearts and will hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Lots of love to you all…

Dear Janet, Tom and Kitties…….we know your hearts are breaking having to say goodbye to Lily Olivia even knowing it was her time – it leaves a huge hole in our hearts that only time can fill. She was a gorgeous girl and she had a wonderfully long life full of complete love – what more can any of us ask than that? It makes me so happy that little Sawyer “knew” and kept her company in her last days……and it also makes me happy knowing of all the Angels who welcomed her when she arrived “home again” at the Bridge. Farewell beautiful lady….. you brought so much to those who love you and now it’s your turn to rest easy.
Hugs and love, Pam and Teddy

Our dear friend Miss Janet, Kitties of the Blue Family.
We opened our email to find your notification and came directly to your page. One day we admire Lady Olivia Blue’s selfie, the next she is flying with the angels. To be honest we can hardly write for tears.
We are not sorry, because that would mean regret and we do not regret a moment of Lily Olivia’s company. We grieve with you at the loss of a fine fellow blogging cat and hope to see you in Kansas City to give you a hug in person.
Yours,
Marjorie and the whole Dash Kitten Family
