FILL-INS AND BLOOPERS

One of us Kitties Blue was supposed to do the Friendly Friday Fill-Ins this week, but they really weren’t conducive to being completed by a cat. So Mom completed them; though, she didn’t do that well with it. She wasn’t even able to complete number one. Mom’s fill-ins are in italics and teal ink.

1. I used to love to eat , but now it repulses me. (I cannot think of anything I once liked but would no longer eat.)
2. I would never eat shrimp, but now I love it.

3. I always cry when one of our blogging friends loses a furry family member.

4. The Big Bang Theory always makes me laugh; though, I have seen all the episodes numerous times.

Friendly Fill-Ins are hosted by 15 And Meowing and McGuffy’s Reader. It is a blog hop, and you can enter your link on the McGuffy’s Reader blog.

Since our mom feels she failed at the fill-ins task, we also are purrtcipating in The Lazy Pit Bull’s Pet Bloggers Blooper Round-Up Blog Hop! Wow, that’s a mouthful. It’s a good thing none of us have a lisp.

Our bloopers are from the photo shoot featuring Mauricio and Lily Oliva with the crocheted toys Mau received from the Tooth Fairy (Mom Ellen from 15 And Meowing). Mom was trying to get a photo of him with his head in the package, but Mauricio kept pushing the envelope off the counter. These two off-center, fuzzy photos were the best she could do. Naturally they didn’t make the cut for the original post, Tooth Fairy Delivers.

We are so excited to announce that once again we were the first to comment on Sammy’s (onespoiledcat) Tuesday Teaser post. We had absolutely no idea where the Teaser photo was taken, but this was our second First Commentor Award in the last few weeks. We may be geographically impaired, but we are persistent in refreshing our screen until the Teaser Blog goes live. We think tenacity is an impawtant quality for cats to have. It pays off when begging for treats or attention!

So that’s it for us today. We’ll see you tomorrow for the Caturday Art Blog Hop.

TOOTH FAIRY DELIVERS

Who knew? The Tooth Fairy, aka Mom Ellen (15 And Meowing), delivers. After I had my dental and two toofies removed*, I received a package in the mail from her. She sent me three of her most fabulous crocheted toys. Score! We all love Mom Ellen’s toys and already have many.

My female parental unit tried to get a photo of me with my head in the package, but I kept pushing it off the counter. Here I am waiting for the thumbed-one to open it for me. (I was careful not to show my leg with the shaved off furs.)

Here I am sticking my nose in the newly opened package and checking out the cool toys: a white fish, an orange fish and a blue ball.

The Tooth Fairy said in her note that she was certain I’d share. And, of course, I did! Astrid helped me check out the goodies, and Lily Olivia went into full play mode. That girl still has the moves even at age 17. Unfortunately Mom cut off some of her appendages in the photos showing the most action. I’m not sharing those photos.

Mau, Astrid & Lily check out new toys from Tooth Fairy.

The new toys now have been integrated with our others and are available for all.

The Tooth Fairy is very generous and thoughtful. I am so grateful for the new toys and the friendship to all of us of Mom Ellen and all the kitties at 15 And Meowing.

Purrs and paw-pats, Mauricio with smooches and love to Allie

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.
