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.

What a plush setup you’ve got there!
Not the camera again? We get this thing shoved in our faces whenever we’re doing anything. How much do we want to eat when mom creeps up on us and *clicks away*?
Those interruptions…esp if a camera is involved…sigh…
For us interruptions do not count if everything else stays the same…. 2cats2.
Great photo ! V.
Great photos- sorry your snooze got interrupted though.
Does that mean you get some pettins. Because that makes the interruption worth it.
Meowrrrrr,
Shadow the cat and Sarah the human.
Well that looks like an awesome way to spend the day. And how rude of anyone to interrupt!

Well, at least you’re outside enjoying the sunshine. 🙂
It looks like such a good snoozy though
The two of you are so lucky to have that beautiful sunspot! You both look gorgeous. I hope it is as warm and cozy as it looks! 🙂
Too cute – basking in the sunlight….
Your mum deserved those raspberries for disturbing you.
MOL ! You told her ! Purrs
Way to give your Mom the double-raspberry salute, Lisbeth and Giulietta! 🙂
You were all nice and cozy!
No one likes to have their snoozes interrupted!
MOL! You both told her!
That looks a great place for a nap in the sunshine.

Oh gee…….interrupting nap time is a BIG NO NO…..I see each of you has a bit of tongue sticking out as a protest! Good!
Hugs, Sammy
That is not a good thing. Go back to your snoozin’
Your humans drag your beds and tree out onto the deck for you then disturb your slumber?
They’re lucky it’s just a raspberry.
MOL!
Looks like you took turns with the raspberries!
Yeah, what’s with the interruption!
What is it wif peeps and interrupting da snooze times?
Oh love the tongue action.
