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.

Lub Nylablue xo
yeowzer! now that’s called furminating 101! Course, no way would I allow Mom or Dad to pick me up in such a position…nope…blood would flow
Impressive! We have to do stealth furminating at our house – the minute they guess what we’re up to, all the kitties and puppy disappear! We wait till they’re asleep, and hope they dream we’re just patting them!
You win for the best blog name!! Love it! ~ Paula
You sure do behave well when you have your hair done! We act like we’re going to die! Purrs, Ateret, Livia and Abbi.
our last kitty loved to be brushed. she had a special carpet with a big U shaped brush attached to a base on one end she could groom herself & she would lay on the other side waiting for a proper brush job. even tho she had short hair, she shed lots of them every day! she even let dad vacuum her! she was a good kitty, much like Gulietta seems to be.

The cat is cute . . . as long as it doesn’t get on my head.

I bet you could make another kitty out of the excess fur!! Love the expression 🙂
MeWow! You don’t look like you’re enjoying that.
DaMa received a Furminator last year but haven’t tried it on me yet. I think she too skeered to. MOL
I will stay still long enough for her to brush me with the rubber curry brush she used to use on the Dalmatians- only because it feels like I’m getting a massage. Come to think of it, she hasn’t done that in a few days. Hoo boy, she’s such a slacker. I better remind her I would enjoy a massage.
Happy Whisker Wednesday!
We’d love to see the “after” and how much fur came out.
That is one big cat
I once had a cat with a lot of fur like that. I sneezed a whole lot 🙂
for sum reezon…we think de fur minatorz gonna get a grate werk out !!! 🙂
MOL she doesn’t look super thrilled 🙂 Cody adores his Furminator, so far, Dakota? Not so much
Rumpy Bump: “Gee that looks scary. I mean yeah I have the longish fur that get all over and gives me little gray fur tubes to place around here but, I think we will pass on that thing.”
Dad: “Hmmmmmm”
Rumpy Bump: “Uh, Dad! Dad! We ARE going to pass on a furminator, right? RIGHT? DAD!”
Dad: “Well….Rumpy, I have heard that…”
Rumpy bump: “You better get those treats out! Humph!”
Hmm…..she doesn’t look THRILLED with the whole furminating thing……more like “hurry up and get this over with will ya???!!!!”

Aww! heheh! I had a cat the image of Giulietta he was a lovely cat called Jaime lovely memories 🙂
We don’t mind being FURminated though we aren’t exactly fans of it. What does your Mom do with all the fur? I think you can actually donate your furs to some organization who make those floating things to soak up oil spills in the sea.
Hehe what a good little kitty! I need to furminate Honey D. sometime soon I think…
I LOVES being Furminated, although I would NOT love (nor allow) myself to be stood up like that. Somebody would be making an unscheduled trip to the blood bank. Just sayin’.
Giulietta has been totally her daddy’s girl from the moment they met. She would never do anything to hurt him. The worst that ever happens is that she manages to wiggle out of his grasp.
AAUUGGHHHH! We hate the Furminator! Maybe its the way our mom does it? But we are convinced it cuts the hair out, not just remove loose hair cause we’ve read some beans have made their kitties bald with it. Its the one thing that is sure to bring out attitudes and pointy part in all of us.
Love, love your posts!
My Cornish Rexes do not have to be brushed, but they love the feeling of the brushing comb!
Digger loves a brush and comb, hes always so smooth after! Hes short haired, no furminator here.

Oooh, Giulietta, we’re not sure if you look too happy about that. But we bet you’ll feel great afterwards! 🙂
I love to be FURminated but Pop would NEVER hold me like that to do my underside. He’d be in the ER.
Daddy tried that with Maui and got shredded. This year he’s getting shaved.
Maui, not Daddy!
It seems like it Furminator time everywhere right now 😉
Purrs
Sophie doesn’t enjoy the brush either! 🙂
Giulietta does not look very happy there.
That doesn’t look like it’s enjoyable. 🙂
Thanks for linking up over at Tales of a Pee Dee Mama
We don’t always enjoy the furminator, either, but our head peep loves how it takes SO much extra fur off of us. We live in the land of the Newton-fur tumbleweeds, so anything that minimizes it is something we have to at least tolerate.
Hmmmmmm, maybe it will take time to get used to that!
Maggie hates being brushed, too. I really have to wrestle her, which is like a fuzzy crocodile!
Giulietta doesn’t look thrilled – hey, I’ll step up for it! I LOVE being Furminated!
This is new for her. She was just getting used to being brushed. She doesn’t like having her tummy or her butt done.
Hmm, why do I think you’re not exactly enjoying that…
