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.
© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17

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.

We lubz da “Shalom Y’all” sign…dat iz bery kewl!!!!!
We iz Jewish/Mewish…just like Timmy Tomkat n Dad Pete!
Shalom!
n Purrz Nylablue x0x0x0
Very pretty. Did you really nibble? We’re not allowed to nibble anythin’ but grass. Oh, and nip, of course but truth be told, we don’t stop with just nibblin’ when it comes to the nip.
Purrs,
Nissy #Niss4Senate – Tell the PM, today.
Aaaaw How cute and sweet.
Luv ya’
Dezi
Astrid, the flowers are beautiful, but you are more beautiful 🙂 xx
Mum loves flowers, we have Alstromeria in our garden and they last forever as cutflowers!
I haven’t smelled real flowers yet. I did some greens though. You can hardly see plants around here…
Admiral Hestorb AND I even try to eat PLASTIC plants!!
Those aren’t real, are they. They look toxic to me. I don’t even nibble on my catnip plant. MOL!
Hey Astrid maybe give them a little bitey. Just to make sure they are fresh
Beautiful flowers. I only chew on plastic ones….so mom can have as many flowers as she wants. I won’t touch them….Kali may though…..MOL
(((Shoko)))
That sure looks like some whiffin’ fun!
Those look beautiful; I’m sure they smelled great too.
Astrid those are very beautiful and you’re giving them a nice sniff!
Flowers always go way up on a special shelf so we can’t get them! Those are very pretty.
The Florida Furkids with special smoochies to Mau from Allie.
ps – Ellie never goes in the pink hepper pod….that’s Allie’s fav sleeping spot!
We bet it must have tasted good too! WE don’t get to nibble on any plants / flowers since Mommy refuses to have any indoors.
Sometimes you have to stop and smell the flowers. We love your Shalom Y’all sign. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Beautiful Flowers. Happy Wednesday. Golden Woofs
How familiar that is !!! … lovely image.
Don’t those flowers smell great, Astrid? It’s like having a little bit of the outdoors in the house. 🙂
Our cat in Manila, Philippines do this too! My mother said they know what plants can heal and what can poison. Amazing creature as always =) #WW
M says every cat she has ever had has wanted to smell the flowers she bring into the house. They smell so good. he he – she’s even had a few vases tipped over!
So pretty!
And that’s why we can’t have flowers in our house. Some cat (Wally!) always tries to eat them.
Mom says she can’t have flowers in the house ‘cuz we’re too fascinated with them. We don’t understand. All we do is pull them out of the vase to look at their pretty colors and get more whiffies. Oh, then there’s the problem of us sometimes dumping over the vase so we can see a waterfall. We’re just curious kitties. 🙂
Nice flowers- they could use a sprig of catnip though.
Delilah thinks those flowers look super tasty! (She’s our flower eater). And Sampson thinks Astrid looks super beautiful! So many pretty things in this picture 🙂 Sampson is sending bunches of kisses and love to Astrid, and we all send hugs!
Gin Gin totally agrees! Her mommy can’t have any flowers or plants in the house because she gets to them no matter where they are! And then she throws up on the living room carpet!
Be careful eating those flowers, Astrid, or you’ll end up leaving a deposit somewhere in the house. (We recommend an expensive rug.)
Flowers smell SOOOO good – the occasional nibble around an edge is allowed especially if nobody sees! Tee Hee
Hugs, Sammy
Enjoy. Blooming marvellous. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Wonderful advice! HahaMeow!
Happy Wednesday, sweet furriends.
>>smooches<<
That’s what I always say! Although it would a LOT easier if my human put them within reach.
My, that looks familiar! Great capture!
I luv nibblin on da plants!
Lovely moment ! Have a good day ! Purrs
Those look delishus! I loves me some fresh flowers! The Human says that is why we can’t has nice bouquets unless she puts them in the baffroom and shuts the door, MOL!
Rose “whiffies” are GREAT!
Such a tender moment!!! Having a great sniff!!!
Have a great day!!
