WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: CHASING THE RED DOT
Social Media
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.

Hey Calista Jo that reminds us
Where is that Dot???
DAD!!
*Timmy runs off complaining about the lack of Dot*
We think the red dot is a conspiracy at our house…. Good luck catching it at yours!
You know, I’m kinda with Katie–I was never a big Red Dot chaser, except if it was on the ceiling. Then it kind of drove me mad. The Human has not invited the Red Dot to play for a long time. Hmmm. Maybe I should remind her.
Thanks for your visits to our blog. Mom is never able to find your blog on Google+ – she finally subscribed via email so we can visit more often!
Got to get that pesky dot!!!!!! Great picture
Ahhh…the red devil…
How much fun! Carl used to try to shake them off his paw when the red dots touched him.
That red dot drives me batty! I haven’t caught it yet but I keep trying!
Purrs,
Isabella
Go get it, Calista Jo! OMC! did it go right through your paw??
Hello. Thanks for coming by; and yes you should get some of those cat collars! They are great!
You go girl!! Great aerobic workout…tremendous reach and purrfect leg lift…paw pats, Savannah
Hope you caught da red dot.
Iz like to stalk it den chase it. Da brudder Troyer sumtimes tries to catch it but he likes chasing feathers more. MOL
#PanfurPurrs fur Werdless Wednesday.
hehehe looks fun,xx Speedy
Great action shot! Looks like a lot of fun. I hear that red dot is hard to catch.
Calista is cute in that pose! When I first bought one of the red dots toys I had three cats who went bananas over it, and I had two Scotties : one liked it and chased it as much as the cats, but the other eyeballed it at a distance and when the dot came close to him on the floor he took a good sniff at it, then raised his eyes to me and saw that I had the little stick in my hand… with an indignant look he then went to sit on his personal rug and laid his head on his paws. He had figured out that it was a trick I performed, not anything real to get bothered about. Animals are amazing sometimes. Then you remember those moments forever.
Thanks for your always kind words. V.
squeeeee!!! I luvluvluv my red dot…well…unless I cannot catch it…*snicker* thank you for being a loyal furriend (s)
Chasing red dots never gets old! 🙂
Ohhh, they so love the red dots!! Ours would be entertained for H-O-U-R-S!
Um, hi. Waffles here.
I can’t believe the Red Dot made it all the way over to YOUR house!!! If you catch it, pleeze let me know.
love, Waff
You can catch it, I know you can! I caught it once!
Well, Calista Jo, did you catch it?
(Nice action shot!)
That was a definite score Calista Jo!
the critters in the cottage xo
You almost got it, Calista Jo!
Almost forgot to mention this. How could I forget? MOUSES!
GREAT FORM THERE WITH THE DOT! Absolutely great.
Purrs,
Nissy
In answer to the question you left on my blog, you ever watch the Canadian news? That’s your answer, for sure.
Purrs,
Nissy
Oh Boy! That dot becomes addictive!
Holy CAT Calista Jo! You GOT it!!
Hello glorious felines!
This is my first comment, since it takes me a very long time to type with paws. However, I’m a big fan of your blog, particularly since I’m a blogging cat myself. I’m ticked to present you with the Dragon’s Loyalty Award. Pick it up at my site, Franny’s Film Forum, anytime. 🙂 http://frannysfelinefilmforum.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/i-win/
With the appropriate feline ennui masking enthusiasm,
Franny the cat
Calista Jo, did you get it? WE never seem to quite catch that dot at our house!
that never gets old. sydney, my dog, loves the laser, too. it is funny to watch 60 lbs. chasing the light. then she realizes it is in my hand and tries to bite it. 🙂
Meows, purrs, hugs, and MOLS! Haha. Love cats and laser pointers, never fails to entertain my babies.
You know, mommy has tried and tried to get me interested in chasing the red dot but I just look away and whap a ball or something. That is so strange. She said she’d never met a kitty like that.
Great way to exercise the kitties while sitting on the sofa, I always say. They do find the red dot so fascinating…brings out those hunter instincts!
That red dog sends Cloudy going crazy too!
I love the red dot! I go round and round and round and round and….I’m dizzy!

Isn’t it fun to chase the red dot? It lookz like you caught it! Do your hoomanz laugh when you are chasing the red dot? Our hoomanz think that it is funny. Sometimez they give us some nip and then we chase the red dot and the hoomanz laugh. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Get it, you can do it!!!
ps. thanks for popping by my bloggy today 🙂
You have some pawsome moves there Calista Jo.
Ah, yes, you’ve got it!
Happy Wordless Wednesday 🙂

Atta girl! I just bet with persistence like that you’ll win!!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Ooh. Get it. Get it! GET IT!

Best wishes Molly
Did you catch the red dot?
Oooooo. The red dot is back! We hope you got a bowl of yums after all that chasing and pouncing!
That red dot makes me a little crazy! I can never get it!
