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.

Thank you for joining the Pet Parade! A new one starts in just a few hours. I was just thinking of you this morning because I woke up with a cat on my head. Happening more & more often as a matter of fact. Has Rascal been getting tips here? hmm
What a fun way to spend your time inside if you’re a cat. 🙂 Thanks for sharing at Tales of a Pee Dee Mama.
Oh goodness! Looks like someone has decided to play with the newspaper. Silly kitty – newspapers aren’t really any fun until they are crumpled up into little balls. I think that it takes thumbs to make those balls, so you might need to get your mommy and daddy to help you.
You should move here we have warmth and cookies 😉

Yow Lisbeth waz ya lookin ud sum TV listinz dere fer Deescovery or Kat Channel??
Me haz an idea: if ya iz bored jsut claw n shred da papurr…dat iz alwayz fun!! den ya can reedeckorate da floorz like doing wallpapurr onlee it bee floor papurr!!
MOL 😉
Lub Nylablue (yer notty Sisfur)
Maybe if you ball the newspaper up Lisbeth…or you could come over here…we know how to stir things up! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Oh Oh read something interesting? Happy BlogPaws WW. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
I take it that you are bored of reading Lisbeth and want some catio time, huh? Hope that your weather gets warmer soon!
You have to break the boredom somehow Lisbeth.
Well, if you’re gonna be stuck inside, messing up the newspaper is a fun way to pass the time. 🙂
yep we are the same in Michigan! Did you know there is a “Hell” Michigan? Yep, there is and it FROZE OVER!! No joke!
We feel the same Lisbeth
If those papers were in our house, they’d be spread all over the place.
it was so like that when you got there.. right?
Aww… poor you.
At least you are warm and safe inside 🙂
paper is always fun to play with,xx Speedy
When I saw “Blue” I was afraid I was gonna see a blue kitty, literally! My father-in-law had a cat who walked through paint once and was kind of expecting. My cat is trying to get in my lap as we speak. Lisbeth is very cute!
Hello Lisbeth it’s OK I won’t let on that you called your mum a cackler LOL
Hope your staying warm…the weather has sure been burrrrr!!!!!!! lately! 🙁
— Nermal
Lisbeth is sooooo cute..and how she loves that newspaper :D…hugs et purrs from Indonesia..
I say a couple of boxes and you are all set!!
Did you see the sale ads? It’s fun to shred newspaper; although it is best done after the pawrents read it. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Good thing you have all those papers to strew around so you do not get bored while being stuck inside. Stay warm!
Oz
Awww. Lisbeth is GORGEOUS! <3
oh my god how are you surviving I know the Oscar and Henry would be going mental x
Maybe the cabin redecorating will help!
It gets to us all *twitch,twitch*….Glad to see you’ve saved the shredding for another day!
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
What??? I don’t see a thing!
Oh it’s just awful being trapped indoors – unless of course you consider the extra naps, toasty toes, fun things to get into that are normally off-limits (!), extra treats to keep us happy…….gosh – all of a sudden cabin fever sounds a lot better doesn’t it????
Hugs of Warmth, Sammy
You’re too cute to get into trouble Lisbeth hope the paper was fun! Bisous from your brofur
Haha! Very cute!
xo Catherine
Oh OH! We think somekitty might be in trouble!
Keeping up with the local news????? Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
MOL!!!!!
lol I think my cats have some cabin fever although one is an indoor cat only. Hopefully it’ll warm up soon!
I think Binga has sympathy cabin fever right now.
It’s fun to make messes when it gets boring!
Don’t ya just hate being the second one to read the paper?
Yep, it’s happening here, too. MOL!
Are you checking the Want Ads, Lisbeth?? 😉
Well that looks like it was fun! ~xo~
