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.

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’

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.

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!!
