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.

Pee Ess: We live in a town wiff no VETs. After calling all da VETs wiffin a hundwed miles of us da VET we took sis Lexi too wuz da ony VET dat wuld wun a blood test fur us and give us a second opinion. Mommy wuz appalled and angwy and fwustwated and cwyin’ oon da inside cuz she wuz twyin’ to keep sissy calm. She only allowed them to stick sissy so many times cuz we had to have the tests ifin we wanna twy to helpp her wiff this kidney disease.

We were reading about your concats on winning the Book, Rescued from Cat Wisdom 101 this month from the story or how Kitty passed away and Katie Too arrived the same day…. Kitty was an amazing Russian Blue who let my mother know to get her back checked after surgery.
We will sure do a post when our book arrived. -Katie and The Katz.
Beautiful!
What a lovely photo! Does your mom get as excited as ours when she sees us sharing? It doesn’t happen often! MOL
Love,
Lola and Lexy
Though I am not a cat, you do look great! Stopping by from the blog hop I hope you will come by too
Kiki
What beautiful ladies.
Friends or just fighting over the scratcher? Either way, you’re both adorable. Happy WW.
Girls, you’re making me jealous. Mommy murmurs every once in a while about another little girl to keep me company.
Look at you two. My kitties rarely hang out together unless they are having a fight over something like a sleeping spot.
Beautiful.
Oh girls – what a lovely “double portrait” !!!
Hugs, Sammy
Awww that is so precious!
Even though we all get along well, we still don’t have the sharing thing down.
That is special. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Egyptian royalty…

We love seeing pics of you two together, what a special photo. Sending lots of love and cuddles to you both, lovely Fiona & Giulietta…
How are you doing with your resolutions? You guys look adorable here!
There is something special about siblings. Grizelda & Chloe Jo are, and we have had many other pairs over the years. It is special…as is this pair. Beautiful. (Did you get my email?) Hugs.
