When Kizmet wakes up, she’ll be popping over to Comedy Plus for the Wordless Wednesday blog hop. Click on the WW badge if you’d like to do the same.
This week’s Looking Back post is from August 22, 2012 and entitled, “My Cat’s Better Than Your Cat.” You can visit it by clicking on the title. I think you’ll really enjoy it! If you do, please leave us a comment there. Thanks.
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.

Thanks for sharing such beautiful information with us. I am waiting for your next article.
Kizmet, I agree…around here, it’s a brother’s lap but oh, do I love napping on their laps.
Oh, yes, you usure do look suuper comfy, Kizmet!
And we DO enjoy those looking back posts. We were not blogging then and they are all new to us.
Those are very cute photos.
You sure look cozy sweet one!
Ooh, that IS the best spot in the house, Kizmet. Happy snoozing!
There will be no moving from the lap during a nap. It is written. 🙂
That is so sweet. XO
Awww, so adorable and being on dads lap is the very best of all places to nap.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
Kizmet looks like she may be there awhile. 🙂
Kizmet looks very cozy!!
The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle
That does look like the best place for a nap.
Awwwww……Kizmet knows it’s nice to lie on a heated lap especially when it’s Dad’s!
Hugs, Teddy
Pretty hard to wake up from a lap nap! Playing possum works…
Peaceful sleepy pictures of Kizmet!
