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.

*Sniff Sniff*
Where is the rest?
What? No spoon?
That must be some yummy stuff for you to reach that far for it! I hope you enjoyed it 🙂
Lily O!! Honestly, what is wrong with the servants at your place? You should NOT have to stretch and inconvenience yourself like this just to have your snack. Why, it’s an OUTRAGE, that’s what it is!
Lily Olivia is bellied up to the bar, I see. I like a window seat myself.
What a great stretch! Is that how you eat dinner every meal?
CUTEST EVER!! You even kept your elbows off of the table! xoxo
You are such a tiny and dainty little dove Lily Olivia. Why don’t you come over and I will cook something even tastier for you? I am told I am quite a good cook! You can tell me what your favourite dish is and I will whip it up , no problem!
kisses,
Leo

How nice that you have your own place at the dinner table.
Nice to see you have a place at the table, Lily Olivia!
ooh, that looks yummy. We’d need a bigger table.
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
Lily Olivia, how nice that you have a place at the table! Maybe they can move that chair in for you just a tad. 🙂
Lily Olivia I see you also get to eat the dining room table. Mom figures no one else uses it in our house I might as well. ☺
well now that is the way to have dinner!
hellowww, I love your cat poem, purrrrr 🙂
Enjoy that yummy pretty girl!
You are eating at the table just like your mom and dad! Nice job, Lily Olivia!! Very cute.
Sampson sends kisses and snuggles to Astrid, and we all send our love.
You have the purrfect position to show your human how to do push-ups ! Purrs
You need a booster chair.
Getting in a little stretching while you eat? Multi-tasking?
Great pic! If our human parents eat at the table why can’t we?
Purrs xx
Athena
You darling! Look at you. You feel so good and so happy and so HUNGRY!
Whatever it WAS in that bowl, it was a big hit as it appears you licked that bowl nice and clean!!! Enjoy!!!
Hugs, Sammy
I agree with the Whisppy´s that it sure looks like you are doing bench push up´s while eating 🙂
XOXO
You look like you are doing a bench push up while nomming. 😉
Don’t your humans give you utensils? How barbaric!
What purrfect table manners you have. Adorable!
Enjoy da foodz!
