HELLO KITTY & THE BIG BANG THEORY

Friendly-Fill-Ins: Week #18

Here’s this week’s fill-ins post and hop hosted by Annie (McGuffy’s Reader) and Ellen (15AndMeowing). You can enter a link to your fill-in post on Annie’s blog.

As usual, my completions for the fill-ins are in teal italics.

1. I can’t wait for the new season of Big Bang Theory on television. My favorite television shows have always been the ones that make me laugh, e.g., Frasier, Will & Grace.

2. In my home a screen on the catio needs to be repaired where one of those cheeky squirrels chewed a hole in it a couple of years ago. It is currently repaired with Hello Kitty duct tape.

3.I thought I lost my passport a couple of years ago. I had to get a new one so we could go on vacation but…

4.Once, I found my lost passport—about two years after I needed it!

So I cheated a bit and turned the last two fill-ins into a two-part fill-in. If I hadn’t used the passport, my answer was going to be, “I thought I lost my mind.” But then, if I had lost my mind, I wouldn’t be able to think, so that fill-in would just be blank.

We’ll be back tomorrow for Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop and then Sunday for our Selfies blog hop.

MONDAY MEOWSINGS: CJ’S BIRTHDAY WRAP-UP

Hi Efurrybuddy,

It is me, Calista Jo, reporting today to let y’all know that I had the best birthday ever. Now granted, this was only my second birthday, but it was pawsome. I really want to thank my brofur Mau and mommy for making it so special with the Hello Kitty Palooza theme. Lots of my furiends attended making it even more fun.

I got this most excellent card from our furiends at Kitty Cat Chronicles. That’s where Astrid’s boyfriend Sampson lives. All the kitties, Sampson, Caster, Sophie, Sassy and Delilah are wearing Hello Kitty pawty hats. Isn’t that cute.

Then my brofur Bailey from Bailey Boat Cat has offerred to have his dad take Kitties Blue for a ride in one of the Hello Kitty airplanes. He’s a pilot. I cannot wait until we can arrange this. Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime gift, and it was for me, Calista Jo!

The cat's whiskers: Taiwan's second-largest carrier, Eva Airlines, and Japan's comic company, Sanrio, which owns the Hello Kitty brand, collaborated on the second generation Hello Kitty-themed aircraft, sen here at Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan

Lots of my furiends asked to if they could get a Hello Kitty memento photo from my pawty. I want to share all their cute photos with you. (If you wanted a photo and forgot to ask or Mom missed your request, please let us know.) Efurryone has their name on their romper. You can click on any photo to make it bigger.

Me with Da Bird

Fiona with Da Bird

But the very bestest part of my birthday was the gift. I got something we all have been needing for a really long time…the others since before I was even born: Da Bird. The night of my birthday, seven of us (all except Misty May) played with it in the foyer with Mom for 30 minutes. In all that time, only one small growl was heard from Lily Olivia. I don’t know if she was on her good behavior for my birthday or if this is something we can all do together and get along.

If you missed my party, but still want to visit, click on the link in the first paragraph.

Thanks again efurrybuddy. If I could come to your houses and hug each of you, I would.

Purrs and paw-pats, Calista Josette

HELLO-KITTY-PALOOZA BIRTHDAY PAWTY

Welcome to Calista Jo’s Hello-Kitty-Palooza Birthday Pawty. Today is our little Barn Cat Buddy‘s second birthday. Pull up a chair and join in the festivities. And please take the pawticipation badge for your blog if you’d like.

Mauricio is the Birthdaymaster for the Wolverine Patrol at Cat Scouts and just had a Hello Kitty birthday party for his Patrolmate, Anya. It was so successful, he asked if he could do a similar party for his little sis, Calista Josette. What mom could turn down an offer like that!? Not this one.

We’ll be celebrating in the yard as our weather has been so warm. The pool is available for those of you who brought your swimsuits and want to cool off.

We have this fun Hello Kitty cutout for any kitty who would like to have their photo made as Hello Kitty. Calista Jo, as the birthday girl, is taking her turn first. If you would like one as a memento, please let us know in the Comments. If we don’t already have your photo, I will contact you to get one.

So no party is complete without the noms. If you arrive early enough for breakfast, please help yourselves to pancakes, apple turnovers, a Hello Kitty fruit and cheese plate and hot chocolate.

For those of you who don’t arrive until lunch or dinner time, we have some mini pizzas, sushi, cookies and cupcakes. And, of course, we still have cake to come.

But, prior to that, Calista Jo wants to present all her guests with some party favors including some Hello Kitty plushies.

And finally, what all of you, especially the Cat Scouts, have been waiting for…cake and some Hello Kitty bubbly.

Thanks so much to all our furiends for joining us in celebrating Calista Jo’s birthday. We hope you had fun. We know she did.

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.
