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.

I love laying on clothes as long as the peeps aren’t wearing them.
I consider it my gift to mankind that I place my furs on the clean laundry! It’s the least I can do! 🙂 Good job Lisbeth!

Noodle and crew
Mmmm…was it still nice and toasty warm?
Nice Cat pictures, seems comfy to me. LOL
Happy WW
Lovely! I just wished cats were even doing the laundry!
My mother never forgot one laundry-horror-story. She had already filled the washing machine when she remembered that she had forgotten her pyjamas. She went to the sleeping room, put the pj’s in the machine and started the program. My brother was 2 years old (I wasn’t born yet). He run to her, said “cat cat cat” and tried to get her attention. She first wanted to ignore him, because she started cleaning, but my brother was very persistent. She followed him to the laundry room and saw our cat behind the glass door… luckily she could stop the machine before the water started running.
MMmmm fresh laundry. There is nothing better than hair-ing up a fresh batch.
You do laundry just so the cats can lie in it, right?
–Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats
My dog loves laundry as well. It’s the scent!
I love the laundry, too! It’s always so warrrrrm!
Oh I agree…….in fact, laundry is nice BEFORE and after cleaning……before, it’s kind of nice to wallow around on stuff that smells like our beloved humans…..and after it comes out of the dryer it’s so nice and WARM!
Enjoy
Hugs, Sammy
Nothing like a pile of laundry for a snooze! Our Lucas is always on the lookout for them!
LOL loving you loving the laundry. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Oh my beautiful Ms Lisbeth….. My furs sibs and I love helping mom change the sheets and making the bed but we are not a fans of unwashed laundry.
Happy WW Kitties Blue and special Nose Kisses to my sweet Ms Lisbeth.

Cats are definitely good at pretending to be deaf, but the twitching of their ears are a give away each time and you know they heard every word. It’s just they don’t care enough to pay you proper attention, unless you rattle the kitty chow and then well, that’s a different story. lol Happy #WW!
Is that laundry dirty or clean? Pierre loves dirty laundry… leave it to a mancat to want to hang out with the dirty stuff!
We think the best thing about rolling on the laundry is that it gets to smell of us!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We must be weird because we never lounge in the laundry!
We just love a ladycat who does her own laundry!
We all luvs laundry too!
