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.

OMC! You got a real mousie? How cool! Ours are all fake!
What great shots of that mouse!
My mum is quite scared of mousies but she also feels sorry for them with us cats chasing them and doing what she calls ‘bad things’ to them.
We are both anxious to know what happened to it.
What a moment to go wordless on us! What happened next? Great photographs.
Panky: MeWoWee! A real live mouse? Didja catch it?
Troyer: Iz wanna hunt mouse!! All Iz get is chase Da Bird.
oh I can’t look!xx Speedy
Oh my Cod…how exciting! Kitties, what ended up happening? I’z never seen a live mousie before! What cute photos.
Oh boy!!!!! A MOUSIE!!!!! Mom was peeking through her hand in case there was carnage!
Let us know what happened!
Marty and the Gang

Oh no, that little guy looks so cute but we can’t imagine it ended well for him!
Hi Guys, I’ve just popped over to say there is a little something for you over on my blog today 🙂
Wow.. what fun.. that must have made your day uber interesting!!
Oh dear. I hate to say it, but we are sort of rooting for the mousie. Maybe you kids just had dinner or sumfing???
Wow, you kitties had a real life mousie in your house??? LUCKY!
Run little mouse, run! That second photo is incredible…that you were able to capture the expression of that little mouse on film ; he/she looks so fierce and determined. We hope the mouse got away!
the critters in the cottage xo
Oh my, that would sure make the whiskers twitch!
Did you eat it? Please tell me you didn’t just sniff that tasty little snack!
Ooooh!! Lunch 🙂 Did you get it?? 😉
I see that you guys have a fun new toy! Did you get it? Cinco and Manna had the same sorts of looks on their faces the one time they saw a real mouse.
Get it! Get it!!!!!
A real live mouse? You kitties were much calmer than I would have been!
Did you get it? We have lots of woods around our house and there are little field mice around outside. One time a field mouse got into our house. We played with it and then deaded it and put it by our food bowl. When mom first saw it she thought it was a nip mouse. When she looked at it closer and saw it was real she shrieked! It was only a little mouse but you would have thought it was a monster the way mom hollered. Love, Cali ,Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Oh OH OH!!! We just went through this about three weeks ago. We didn’t catch ours, but the exterminator guy came next day. Mom purrsuaded it to run out the front door. Did you catch that one?
Ohhhh myyy! At first I thought it wasn’t real, but then I saw that it was! I have to say that is one adorable mouse! Looks like a Disney Mouse! What happened?
Mom laffed because she said the first thing to do is always get the camera! Guess what so would she! LOL. Mom takes photos of everything. OK now we have to ask, what happened to Mr Mouse?
ther troo lee izza reel for sure genuine mouz in de houz !!!!! sew who getted a snax or wuz him spared
by de food serviss peepulz
We had to look again and again. It’s a REAL MOUSIE! What did you guys do with him after the initial pleasantries? Heehee.
Wow! He is sort of cute in a mouse-ish kind of way but I do hope that he no longer resides in your abode? After all, sometimes if you see one there’s others watching from afar! EEEK!
Hugs, Sam
WOWSERS!
MOUSES!
HOLEY MOLEY!
What happened?!
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
OMC, an actual self-propelled mouse? Did you get it?
OMD a real live mouse in the house. Wow did you get it?????? I so would. Yes, yes what happened next???? Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
What happened next? It is intetesting how each one reacts to such visitors.
OMC!!!!! I wonder how this ended…
This kinda freaked our Mommy out. We kittehz are jealous!
Oh wow, a real live mousie! Was it tasty?
Like the other hoomans ours is going “Aw, how sweet. Hope he escaped.” And like the other hoomans, ignore her. MOL!
We can’t believe your mom was able to catch this on camera! Surprisingly, you guys don’t look like you want to eat it – you look more intrigued by it. Did you catch it though? Was it friendly? Was it scared? Was it… tasty? We need more info!
Yes! We are also interested in the same things as Kitty Cats! Was the mouse friendly? More info please!
OMC! Did you guys catch it??
Yowsers!! A real live mousie???? You guys are so lucky. What became of him? Oh…maybe I don’t want to know.
(Amazingly quick work on your Mom’s part to grab a camera so we could all see it. Great photos for your scrapbooks!)
Bwaa!! Haa!!! Haa!! Those guys don\t stay alive more than 2 minutes in our house!!!
Kisses
Nellie
Did you get to eat it? (Ignore my human in the background, saying, “How cute! Poor little thing,” etc.
You’s so lucky – I wish I had a real life mousie to catch!
