TALKS TOO MUCH OR CAN’T HAVE ENOUGH CATS!

Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #160

On Fridays, Kitties Blue and I enjoy joining the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop. It is hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). It’s a fun way to learn a bit more about our fellow bloggers.

Each Thursday, on both blogs, you can find the four sentences to be completed. On Friday, post your filled-in sentences and link to the hop on Lorianne’s blog. To go there, click on the badge at the left.

My completions are in teal italics.

1. A past event that I would like to see in person is the destruction of the Berlin Wall.

2. If I were a dog, my breed would be West Highland White Terrier, as I have always wanted one.

3. If I came with a warning label, it would say the following: Talks too Much! Dad Tom says that my warning label would be: Can’t Have Enough Cats.

4. I would want to take Astrid with me to a deserted island. (Astrid is a love bug and has the best purr. I would never be lonely if she was with me.)

Feline Friday

As I mentioned Astrid in the fill-ins, she is here to join the Feline Friday blog hop at Comedy Plus. Click on the badge beneath Astrid’s photo to participate.

I see nothing wrong with the warning label of “Can’t Have Enough Cats”! I also love that you picked Astrid as your deserted island companion. Your Astrid sounds a lot like my love bug Thimble. Purrs!

Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Astrid is a beauty, I am sure she would be good company anywhere. Have a wonderful weekend! XO

The mom has a friend who was there when the Berlin Wall came down. She (the mom’s friend) danced on it (the wall). So the mom got a first hand description of what it was like being there.

Love all your answers and now I know Astrid is a love bug and a great purrer. I don’t think that’s a word.

Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. ♥

Allie and Noelle were relieved that you would take Astrid…..they would miss their guys!

Mom says you don’t talk to much. Mom, on the other paw, REALLY does!

In an office meeting this morning, I was asked what I have planned for the summer, and I mentioned a couple of cat events that I was going to…and everyone laughed! They couldn’t get their heads around an event with celebrity cats and lecturers, and other cat bloggers. At least we all got a laugh first thing.

I agree, #1 was certainly a momentous occasion. Sweet pic of Astrid.

Good Morning fellow West Highland Terrier friend! HA! Funny we both picked the same breed of dog. I love them too. Astrid would be a good buddy on a deserted island – if I took Teddy with me, I’d never see him – he’d be off exploring all the time!

Happy Friday
Hugs, Pam

Talks too much? Hardly. You’re just passionate and it’s contagious!

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.
