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.

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 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.

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.

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.

Yup, Minko doesn’t believe that any rules should evfur apply to him…and he tells Pipo that too, so then there are two! And when dog-guy was a young-un…he did the pogo stick thing too…and joined any kitty that was already there. Oops! Hooligan time in this den:)
Cooper Murphy is quite sure of himself, MOL!
Who cares about the rules when you’re adorable! That’s what Fergus says, anyway.
Jean from Welcome to the Menagerie
I remember Admiral got nothing at all for three or more months. Some kitties just have wait, She did fine later on.
We loved reading your post from 2012, before we knew you guys. As much as things change, they stay the same … rules don’t really apply to cats, right? 🙂
Hugs to you all, sweet pals!
Baby Giulietta was such a cute little furball.
Of course paws belong on the placemat. They certainly don’t belong on the table, unless, of course there’s no placemat or tablecloth on the table.
Rules schmules! Kitties can do whatever we please especially super handsome Mancats! 🙂
I too enjoy how Cooper Murphy is covering two coveted objects at once 🙂 There are NO rules in this house, why bother. Marty is polite enough to just give a sniff and leave when asked. Ralphie will politely try to bury whatever he thinks is offensive and ignore the rest.
Rules are meant to be broken!
Place mats…laptops…paws belong anywhere when you’re a cat.
Rules for cats? Never heard of it! LOL!
What is a rule ? Purrs
Bwa! Ha! Ha!
I know that rule! For some reason it never applied to Nellie either! Thanks for coming to Nellie’s 19th birthday!
I want to send a little something to everyone who attended. But I can’t find your snail mail address…I know I had it once…must be old-timers disease. Could you please send it to me at nellieontheedge @ gmail.com?
Love
Barb
There are no rules for cats 🙂
Nice paws by the way!
Cooper Murphy has excellent table manners!
when it comes to the table, Cody is deaf…..he totally does NOT obey table-top rules!
Baby Guilietta is so adorable in that post, made me squee. We have given up on any rules except those for their safety like not going in the dining room ( where the pants are kept) or near the stove. Have fun at Blog Paws and thanks for making the delivery for me to Erin 🙂
Well, that looks familiar. But here it is always a black cat with a pink collar, or a brown tiger. Ha! Hugs.
We bet you’re guarding that laptop. We notice how your back leg is nestled there kinda casually like you own it. But just let someone take it away and….
Hi Cooper Murphy! You look mighty comfy guarding the placemat AND the laptop. I know you take your duties in your new house very seriously – so do I – although I prefurrr to guard Mom’s computer from behind it where all the wires are (tee hee). As for your “post from the past” – you know my Mom’s blog had a VERY slow start too but just look how both of them have moved along through the years! WOOT!
Hugs, Teddy
Cooper Murphy, what a handsome rebel you are. You have your paws on the placemat AND the laptop!
Please note that we don’t have dirty paws!
Rules? Ha, those are for dogs.
