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.

That looks like one unhappy kitty!
Mom: What a great photo!
Tsunami & Legend: Run, kitties, run!
Happy WW to you!
Awww…poor sweet thing…he looked so cute…well kinda…purr with the angels sweetie!
Oh, he does NOT look happy! Thanks for joining me in the Wordless Wednesday Bloggers. And remember, while silence may be golden on WWB, the weekend was made to be enjoyed 🙂

Hi Kitties–I hope you don’t let the Human do this to YOU!
We don’t think Madison was very happy in that picture. We’re sure
there are no baths at the Bridge.
The Florida Furkids
oh man…. that picture speaks volumes!
MOL oh sweet Angel Madison….da horroar of it all bein bathed!!! Dat pickture iz worth many many werdz!!! Run free Angel M. n nose we will bemember you!!
Lub Nylablue n her Mum..
Oh! Someone is NOT happy! That reminds me so much of my long gone Lumpy, who needed baths when he got too old to take care of himself properly. He was long and thin, being part Siamese, with white & cream furs and bright green eyes.
Madison did not look pleased with bath time!
Madison was quite a beautiful kitty — even right after a bath!
Oh dear Madisom was NOT happy!
Awww! That is one grumpy kitty!!
His eyes and ears say, meowy-irritated. Yet, I am sure he got over it once he was all dry and feeling kitty fresh…*smile
Lovely cat who knew you did not mean harm. Sad that his life was so short but at least he had you to take care of him … Lovely kitty, lovely eyes! v.
We hope your Wednesday is happier than your bath time.
Awwww what a cute kitty.
Poor kitty! I tried to give mine a bath in the sink one day and she attacked me and climbed the curtain and ran away. Last time I’ll ever try that again!
Happy WW :))
No! This is not how kitties bath! Hope you have a happier WW!
Woof! Woof! Was not too happy but I bet it felt good. Happy BlogPAWS WW. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Oh my! That is one unhappy looking kitty!
dood…….eye noe eggs act lee what cha iz thinkin….N yes…it ************************
🙂
hay, wanna meet uz over at boe boe’s fish N fry for sum whitefish N pie !!
dude k and sauce of fishbone
RB clouds, 777313 and 777315
now THAT is FUNNY!!! MOL! Do you know I have NEVER bathed my cats?
Interesting expression on kitty’s face.
Thanks for linking up.
Awww. That is not a cat enjoying a bath at all.
Ohhh, sweet little one!
Oh my, the kitty does not look pleased! I’ve had to bathe our old cat a few times when he got out and rolled around in poison ivy and it never went well for me!
AWW! lol mind you that’s how I look too just out the bath 🙂
Have a purrrrfectlicious week
No bath is going to be able to wipe that disgusted look off your face, Madison!
We bet baths are banned at the Rainbow Bridge. :p
Wow, he let you bathe him? That’s a rare cat indeed! They always look so strange to me when they’re all wet…… RIP Madison!
Human bath?
Of course, this human was just as wet as my beloved boy.
Oh that poor little darling! Sooooooo undignified! But pretty funny picture 😉 If that were me, SomeHuman would be calling the Blood Bank, MOL!
That looks like Truffle after she’s had a bath. She puts up with it now. Brulee hasn’t had to have many, but the last time Mom Paula had to give her a butt bath, Brulee was very stressed!
Not happy, but seems very calm. We usually have to scruff the girls to keep them still enough. Cougar doesn’t seem to mind too much, but you would think we’re torturing Storm for the cries she makes. At least they seem much happier after the bath. Keep the air flowing through their fur for nice kitty air conditioning.
OMC! We have no words for that!
Very nice shot… Looks adorable!
Hope you visit our Wordless Wednesday and we would love for you to share/linkup via linky: http://www.craftyspices.com/hops/wwhop
Happy WW!
Yikes! That was real water too!
Awww…what a cute picture. I bet you miss Madison.
Thank you so much for visiting me and your nice comment! It’s nice to meet you!
Oh, that picture is worth a thousand words…at least.
Madison looks like she’s not too happy. Great memory!!
Contrary to today’s habit of naming girls Madison, our dear Madison was a Man-Cat!
Yous is not being shredded? Goodness!
Kisses
Nellie
Poor baby-is that a face of misery or what?
Oh I’m sorry she is gone-she looks to have had a really sweet personality.
