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.

Yow me missez me Dad alot! He n Mum are no longer together so no Daddy peellow fer me…butt Mumm doez duuble dutee 😉
Lub ya Misty May frum Nylablue xxx
My sister Constance says that the first peep makes a good pillow, too.
Purrs,
Nissy
I love black and whites — and so cute when they enjoy our laps — mom or dad’s.
Misty May, it looks as though the “Daddy Pillow” is the absolutely best pillow in the house! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Misty has beautiful coloring and looks so comfy. Returning the love http://linorstorecom.blogspot.com
We reread our comment and it did not sound right. We should have said it is hard to know who enjoys this more. We can not see your dad’s face so we don’t know if he is enjoying this as much as Misty May but we would bet that he is. We have done our extensive (daily) research on this subject. We believe that the pawrents enjoy lap time, snuggles as much as us cats. We will continue to research this topic as much as we can. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
they look so comfy. Misty has lovely colors.
thanks for stopping by my blog.
Oh what a cute pic of Misty May and Daddy!
Daddys make the bestest pillows ever!
BTW Janet, I get in at the airport in Vegas Weds night at 10:50pm. I don’t know if that is too late for you to share a cab, but maybe if nothing better comes along?
Purrs,
Paula
Dad’s make pawsome pillows! We don’t know who likes the snuggling better you or your dad. We think it’s probably both. We hope your dad is feeling better! Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
What a great pillow 🙂
Your sure look contented and happy!
We kitties all like the dad pillow, too! 🙂
Aw, now THAT is one contented girlcat! XOXOXO
Aw, that’s one comfy spot.
Dad’s make great pillows…all of our girls think so…not that Dad minds.
Cats sure are cute when they sleep.
What a beautiful picture of a cat ! I love it.
All of my pets (cats and dogs) learned that a pillow was for resting their head. Animals are so clever. Your kitty looks very comfortable on Dad’s pillow.
Score! You’ve got a primo pawsition, there!
Awww your Daddy makes a nice pillow!
Even though that doesn’t look like Mommy’s head, you look very comfortable.
Pop bought the fish on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Robo-Fish-Orange-Electronic-Clownfish/dp/B00A9SQSYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395869128&sr=8-1&keywords=robo+fish. they also sell them at CVS Pharmacy but ours didn’t have them.
Aaaaaah. Now make sure Daddy doesn’t move until you are done napping.
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
That is one comfy kitteh!
Dad’s really do make great pillows, don’t they? We love taking naps on ours too. Cute picture.
Misty May you found the purrfect place to get a quiet nap!
Allie: That’s totally the best pillow EvER!

Oh my goodness, that sure is comfy!
What a purrfect Dad-pillow!
What a sweet pillow! And we bet it’s warm too!
BOL we can see daddy pillow gets well used. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly

Awww…..Dads and Moms both make great pillows I agree!!
Hugs, Sam
