WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: MY NEW FORT
Social Media
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.

Athena and Marie
A purple collar….Kali loves purple. She says its for royals. Does this mean we have to call you Queen now? Like your fort….it could use my tent beside it and then we can play.
(((Shoko)))
Ooooh that fort looks pawesome!!! Can I come join you, my love?! It’s close quarters, but that’s what’s so great about it — any excuse get to cuddle up together real close! Sendings lots of love and as many kisses as there are forts in the whole world. Love, Your Sampy
P.S. The rest of The Gang sends love and hugs too!
That purple collar looks nice on you- that is your color.
Nothing beats a new box! I don’t think that we have ever had a box in our home that our cats haven’t sat or played in!
The purrfect hiding place! 🙂
Gorgeous girl!!! Truffles loves laying a cardboard box on it’s side too…we call it Fort Truffles 🙂

Oh I like the fort ! Especially since it’s up off the floor and more like a “tree house” than just a regular box on the ground kind of fort………enjoy yourself Astrid!
Hugs, Sammy
Aww I find your Kitten Season poem most enjoyable and a wonderful lesson. That box looks pretty comfortable too.
