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.

Great picture and great statue. Paris looks terrific. Hope you have a Happy
Thanksgiving.
That’s a great pic!
LUCKY YOU ! v.
Hey kitties did you see this pickshure? Your Mom waz hanging around another cat when she was in Paris! Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly
I have always had a fascination with Paris. ” Visit Paris” is on the top of my bucket list. I hope you will share more of your pictures on your blog; I would love to see them!!! Judy
RRRRRAAAWWRRRRRRR!!!! 😉
Lub Nylablue n Mum too…..
Lovely picture! The lion looks as if he is smiling for the photo too.
You didn’t touch it but did you climb aboard?!! Heehee. We iz so terribly funny! Lovely pic of you 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Lovely pic; I just think it’s terribly funny you felt you had to tell total strangers that you didn’t touch it; as if we were looking to judge you like that and that in the scope of things it really mattered. loD
Oh what a lovely photo!
How exciting! Such a beautiful picture. Have a really great week everyone!
GORGEOUS!!!
…and that kitty sculpture is pretty cool too! ; )
Glogirly visited the Louvre once and absolutely loved it. She loved the outside and the grounds as much as the inside. Pretty sure she wanted to touch the lion too!
; ) Katie
Very cool picture! I’m so jealous. I would love to go to the Louvre one day.
says you
See, now she missed you SO MUCH she had to visit *stone* cats. I’m sure they didn’t have ANY fun at all, pining away thinking of you poor kitties, all alone ans STARVING…wait–what? Oh, well, right, I guess there *was* a sitter. For whatever that’s worth. Sigh.
We are sooooo happies to see you back! We missed you to, though we didn’t go in search of fake cats.
We can’t believe you read ALL the way back though our posts! My Human never helps me do that when we miss a few days. That’s cause she’s so ::whispers:: l-a-z-y.
Whoa! They have stone lions in Paris? I thought they just had them in front of the NYC Liberry.
That is one big kitty cat! Great picture! 🙂
Darn, we see we said almost the same thing Brian said! Didn’t realize that when we dictated it to the mom to type it.
That is one big kitty! Love the pic!
What a great pic! We hope you had a good trip.
Great photo of you and that lion statue! If given the chance, would you raise that type of kitty? 🙂
That looks like the friendliest lion ever! I could tell that you weren’t really touching sculpture. Thanks for visiting and linking on my blog!
Oooooooooooo that is one big puddy tat!
I went to Louvre and it was closed that day. Sad face.
