2015 VALENTINES RECEIVED

We had planned to share these Valentine cards yesterday, but Mom has been helping Mau put together a Mardi Gras party for Cat Scouts and so couldn’t help us yesterday.

Fiona and Giulietta received both of these lovely Valentine cards from Clooney. Wow, he is handsome!

Valentine received

Allie made this beautiful card with her own paws. Mau received it by good, old-fashioned snail mail on Valentine’s Day. Isn’t she talented as well as beautiful?

This is the special Valentine Lisbeth received from her beau, Cat Scout Charles.

Astrid and Sampson celebrated not only Valentine’s Day but the one-year anniversary of their first date. Here’s what the always romantic and thoughtful Sampy sent her.

Finally, we wanted to share one more photo from our special night at the Cat Scouts Hearts & Flowers Dance.

L to R: Misty May, Spitty, Allie, Mau, Sampy, Astrid, Charles & Lisbeth.

Let the Good Times Roll and enjoy Fat Tuesday. We’ll see you all tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday!

Purrs and paw-pats, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid and Lisbeth

HAPPY NEW YEAR & BIRTHDAY WISHES TO FURIENDS

Welcome to 2015!

Some of the kitties did a little celebrating for New Year’s Eve. Mauricio and Lisbeth both attended the party at Cat Scouts. Mau attended with his Cat Scout girlfriend, Allie, from Friends Furever. And Lisbeth attended with her Cat Scout boyfriend, Charles.

While Mau and Lisbeth were at Cat Scouts, Giulietta and Fiona attended the New Year’s Eve Party at Nellie’s (Cat from Hell) house in Midway. They were accompanied my the most handsome heart-throb, Clooney, from Clooney’s Num-Num Fund.

The rest of the gang hung out at home with the old folks. We were happy to have their company; though, they spent the entire evening snoozing. The Gershwin tunes on PBS didn’t seem to get their toesies tapping.

We also are celebrating birthdays of two good furiends.

The first is Lisbeth’s boyfriend Charles, whose birthday was New Year’s Eve.

The second birthday is today. The kitties good furiend, Sammy (onespoiledcat), is celebrating his 15th birthday. He’s having a brunch, and we’re sure he’d love your company. And while you are there, make sure to give him a huge hug or handshake of concatulation. He was named one of two Cat Scouts of the Year last night. We are all so super proud of him. He’s a terrific Troop Leader of the Worldwide Wildcats and a tireless worker for Cat Scouts.

If you aren’t a Cat Scout, why not make it a New Year’s Resolution to join. It’s a great organization.

Wishing all of our friends, furiends and their families a blessed New Year,

Kitties Blue & Mom Janet

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.
