SPREAD LOVE

Awww Mondays

 

Finding Cooper Murphy stuffed into this cat tree cubby napping was a huge surprise. And it actually appears as if he had a bit of space to spare!

Cooper Murphy will be popping over to Comedy Plus to participate in the Awww Mondays blog hop. To join him, click on the badge.

Sparks

With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, I thought it would be nice to have a Spark about love. When I found this quote from Mother Teresa, I knew it represented exactly what I wanted to say. And I think this young girl and her ginger cat encased in a heart from the Happy Color app makes the perfect backdrop.

 

Spread Love

 

Sparks is the creation of Annie from McGuffy’s Reader. Sparks began as a blog hop, created by our friend. Annie stated when she began Sparks,“I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world.”

The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky

Your favorite, fun-loving tabbies will be sharing another of their adventures tomorrow. Please stop by Friends Furever to see what the heck they get up to or into…it’s bound to be something fun and maybe even exciting.

    The cubby is either BIGGER than it looks or Cooper Murphy, you are SMALLER than you look! (we are going with the second). And the Spark today is purrfect. Mom is going to print it and put it on the quote wall! You and your peeps are AWESOME

    Around here, cats find new places to sleep in, and we humans end up hunting all over the place to find them!
    Yesterday, Cooper Murphy, we couldn’t find Manny no matter what, so I had to resort to shaking the kibble container.
    Viola! Manny was in the back of the hall closet…

    Snap, you are a gorgeous guy….sorry handsome lad that you are.
    You are my picture of contentment. When I get upset with mom and dad….they are the ones that tick me off the most. I just think of my gingerbread man.

    YAY Coop! I don’t fit in any of the cubbies on my tree but I get in there anyway (half in and half out) because it’s cozy. Love the SPARK!

    Hugs, Teddy

    I guess it’s roomier in that cubby than it looks.

    That is a beautiful spark! And I love that coloring page to go along with it! So sweet and aww-worthy!

    Cooper Murphy sure had to make himself curled up to fit into that condo cubby hole!!

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.
