Wordless Wednesday
Mau will be here tomorrow for Thoroughly Poetic Thursday and a “V” poem about his vet visit and what is going on with him.
SQUIRREL ASKS, “YOU LOOKIN’ AT ME?”
Social Media
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.

Cooper Murphy, you are tilting you head to get a better closeup look at Mr Squirrel!
Wonder what you are thinking? Dinner? You know, Squirrel Fricassee?! MOL!
Oh so close!
Sending purrs that Mau is feeling better!
Holy cats!
OMC, Cooper Murphy, that’s one brave squirrel! He looks like he was right in your face!
Too bad you can’t get to him, Cooper Murphy.
We’ve got a number of these cheeky little fellows around here, too! 😀
That squirrel has some nerve staring back at you!
OMC! That squirrel is so close to you, Cooper Murphy! I think he is looking at you. Too bad that screen is in the way. You would totally show him who’s boss. 🙂 It had to be fun to see him there.
That is sure cute! Hugs Mau, we’re thinking about you.
Squirrels with attitude deserve to be chased!
What a sassy squirrel. Of COURSE you’re looking at him! 🙂
That is a great photo!
Cooper Murphy, you sure got up close and personal with that squirrel! Did you say anything to him?? We’ll be on the lookout for Mau’s post tomorrow. We did see Dad Tom’s facebook post yesterday though, about his butt wound…. Hope all is well!!!
Sampy sends Astrid 987623984756384752093 kisses, and we all send lots of love!!!
Oh my, what a close up view!
You could almost reach out and whap….um…we mean gently touch him!
The Florida Furkids with tons of smoochies, love and healing purrs to Mau from Allie
Wow, Cooper Murphy, that is like 3D TV 🙂 I hope Mau is feeling better. XO
Wow! We have them all over our yard but never had one get so close to a window. My crowd would go wild to look one in the eye like that. I bet you did a lot of chittering.
That’s no window. Cooper in on the catio, and the squirrel is on the bird feeder just on the other side of the screen.
What a super cute picture! We’ve seen those critters in our yard, too. They must be everywhere! MOL
Stereo purrs……….Hemingway and Steinbeck
You have a front row seat to Squirrel TV, Cooper Murphy? Hooray! And we’re still sending our purrs and prayers to Mauricio! We’ll be here tomorrow to learn how his V-E-T visit went.
Oh, this is so relatable! Been there! *ha* ❤
Cooper Murphy I think you and that squirrel are having a pretty good “eye to eye” standoff there! I hope that squirrel knows how lucky he is to be on the outside looking in! Tee Hee Will be glad to hear a “Mau-update” tomorrow!
Love, Teddy
Wow – we’d hate to be that squirrel watching US!!
It’s a staredown!
