A little sun + a little shade makes any spot perfect for napping. At least Lily Olivia thinks so.
What cat doesn’t like to show off its tummy? And what person can resist a good tummy photo? Not us. And Lily Olivia is a champion belly exhibitionist!
This was taken a few years ago on our upper deck, which is uncovered and at certain times of day during summer way too hot to spend much time. Lily doesn’t seem to mind as long as she can find a little shade.
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.

She’s inviting you to rub that belly!
Somekitty needs to learn a thing or six about Modesty Tail! Good thing the paparazzi are so discreet.
Super cute picture of her! She certainly does look very comfy and peaceful like that.
What a cute tummy!

That is a very pretty, and very happy tummy!
Olivia now that is a good kitten tummy!
It’s also a warmed kitten tummy!
oh so good!!!!
LOVE kitty tummies!
Oh, we LOVE belly photos! Truly, living the life! Purrs…
I love this! It’s a CAT’S life! Grizelda will go for tummy rubs, if you can find her. She is like Sasquatch…there are rumoured sightings. When Dad is home, she comes to him. But she is all about Mom. Others, she has no use for. One of the drawbacks with bottle feeding and then keeping them, is that they never learn to separate from Mom. Chloe Jo loves Daddy because he is “FUN”. She loves everyone, including dogs.
Ah! My human can never get a good picture of our tummies because she cannot resist trying to rub them first 😉

Adorable!! Actually my Angel Bobo HATED showing his belly but Cody is ALWAYS showing it!
Wow. You sure aren’t afraid to let it all hang out, Olivia! MOL.
Sweet Praline used to show her tummy all the time. Truffle and Brulee aren’t doing it much yet, but Mom Paula hopes they start doing it soon.
Olivia has the purrfect purrportion of light/shade. Oh, and the purrfect bellah! Happy Tuesday, furriends.
