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.

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.

Look at those pointed toes! My heart!
Jean from Welcome to the Menagerie
I can’t stress enough how much i appreciate this blog. thanks. Check Out My Online Store for Cat Lovers who loves Cat Jewellery, pendat.
I think that you have the right idea, Lily Olivia! A good nap in the sun is the cure for many ails. 🙂 You are so adorable! I just want to pet that belly and give you a kiss. I hope you had sweet dreams.
All stretched out to catch any breezes that may waft by…to cool you down a bit, MOL! You do look sweet this way…and vulnerable too…belly exposed and all:)
Did you snag any belly rubs??
Lily Olivia, you’ve got that summer position down to an art! 🙂
Purrfect for summer.
That looks comfy.
Now that’s seriously comfy cozy!
Talk about letting it all hang out! What a great way to relax in the summertime!
Summer position = perfect position.
That looks like an excellent spot for a nap.
It’s really too bad you don’t know how to relax. Seriously. 🙂
You are looking mighty comfy, Lily Olivia! That is one superb position for sure! Enjoy your catnap, beautiful girl! Sampy sends 249583740958639487592734 kisses to Astrid, and we all send lots of love!
Yep, pretty much~!
You look so cute! I love to watch cats sleeping – they look like little angels 🙂
Sunshine, a nice big stretch, and a snooze. You sure know how to celebrate summer, Lily Olivia!
That looks about right. 🙂
She is so cute.
You’re nice and stretched out, Lily Olivia!
So comfy – can I come over and snooze with you?
You look so comfy on those lovely cushions Lily Olivia.
Oh boy – that REALLY looks like a great nap spot!!
Hugs, Sammy
Yes. Good one. Things are a bit rough here; life is kicking my fanny. Hugs.
