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.

And?….. What was the result? Xxx
Great shot of lovely Lisbeth’s cute kitty butt!!MOL…Beautiful girl, we would all pose like that for a box AND cat toys=SCORE!!…Happy weekend, sweetie…kisses…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
Cute picture! Too bad none of the gifties were for you…did you get some treats out of the deal? Have a nice weekend kitties!
I hope the box had lots of fun kitty toys in it. Looks like you had a fun time investigating.
Some human is putting their Secret Paws package together. Wonder who it’s for??
A box full of toys is well worth investigating!
awww what a cute pic! Kitty butt! LOL I have a great Husky butt shot over on my blog in one of my posts 🙂
Hey, we resemble that picture, Lisbeth! 🙂
So, did you find those toys?
You smell them, but did you find them>
Oh yes indeed, but Mom immediately took them away from me. Supposedly they are for our Santa Paws recipient. But so many? There were at least 12 toys in there in a plastic bag. Purrs, Lisbeth
Well shoot! I copied and pasted your names from your Dec. 3 comment on my blog….and it looks like YOU omitted Astrid’s name, MOL! However, her name is now FIRST!!! on the list to make up for the accidental disrespect!
Misty May, darling, I am sure YOUR butt is just as beauteous…but alas….no picture! Now, if you posted one, I could compare the, um, finer points of your two anatomies, and that would make for a really great and entertaining day!
Now you have challenged mom to post two side-by-side kitty butts. She’s going to the photo archives to see what she can find. Wow, Mom left Astrid out. No wonder that cat has a complex. watch for a future butt-off contest post. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Just like I do! Go get it!
That is one of the finest looking LadyCat butts I have ever seen! Mrrrrrrrrow.
I finally got the Human to post about my award today! Come see 😉
Toys AND a box! That’s quite a package!
Hmmm . . . whatcha into, Lisbeth? Find anything good?
We hope you found those toys!
You asked if our tunnel was fur-lined. It’s not. It’s actually lines with fabric, sort of slippery like nylon or something like that. But fur-lined would be awesome, wouldn’t it??
Boxes are fun! We lovez them too. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Lisbeth, your fundamentals are furry track tiv! 😉
Haha. My mom’s cat LOVES to go through boxes and we usually find him sitting or napping inside after he has explored around it.
My blogpaws ww entry is #110. Come by and vote for us 1 last time?
You just can’t wait until Christmas, can you Lisbeth!!
Cat toys, or treats ? Purrs
Well that looks familiar…only the cat has changed! Sure made me smile! ~xo~
Awww too cute! hope you will join us at BlogPaws 2014 in Vegas in May –
Kitties and kids agree… boxes really are the best toys. LOL 😉
what in the world??!! MOL! That looks like an air bag! MOL!
Someone has a new box to play in. One lucky kitty.
M is laughing because she think’s that’s me going into your bag. We look so much alike. Hope you found something good in there.
we trust your sense of smell kitteh. and your tenacity to find it.
just be careful no other cats shove you in the box and ship you off to the middle of nowhere….
What kind of toys did you find in there, Lisbeth?
We can smell them too! Can we play? Let’s share!
Tsunami & Legend
Create With Joy
Did you find them?
I think Lisbeth just cannot wait till Christmas or she just wants the box LOL
Have a kittylicious week & thanks for sauntering by 😉
Cats and boxes!
I’m the same 🙂
Oh My what’s inside that box. Happy BlogPaws WW. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
What a butt!! The payoff must be real good for Lisbeth to share a picture of her butt in the air like that!
Actually, this is pretty tame, especially after the photo she shared for Tock-Tober.
Oh boy oh boy! – those will wind up under the tree no doubt Lisbeth – patience my girl – PATIENCE!!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Ohhhh what did you find ? We hope it was something really pawsome.
Butt did you get them??? LOL.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
MOL. Can’t fool you about what’s in the box!
That reminds me of a certain tortie that lives at my house!
He he! Dogs and cats with their heads in boxes are some of my favorite pictures!
gimme gimme GIMME!!!!!!!
Go fur it!
