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.

Ooooh! You are having so much fun!! Will you regret it in the morning? mol
that picture is beyond cute… I am in love!
At least everyone survived the big abandonment! In the Beginning we had to figure out how we wanted to be known, too. We do have a hard time clicking through to your site because we are not on Google+ and there is no link (unless that has changed recently), we came today from someone else’s blog. We were on Google+ but there were a couple serious problems we didn’t like so we cancelled it.
Watch out–that stuff does weird things to your head! 🙂
We want some live nip!
Kitties! If you get hungry…don’t eat the plants!!! Heeheehee 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
that is just fabulous!
Whoa! is that all nip?? Looks like an orgy! I don’t care for fresh nip. TW has to dry it for me otherwise it would be too easy for her.
guyz…nothin like bein buzzard up on nip; less it bee eatin trout, ham samiches N friez N beein buzzard up on sum MOR nip !!! sorree bout de trubull over at TT; we trooly dunno why ewe dont get emailz…may bee we iz goin ta SPAM !!!! hope knot, we dont like it, canned, seared or grilled with a side oh mackerull 🙂
C’mon now, kittehs. There’s enough nip for everybody! (wait … or is it, “there’s not enough nip for everybody?”). Oh well. Carry on, and enjoy! 🙂
There’s nothing like fresh nip…mmmmmmmm….
Nip is oh so good but can make us oh so bad sometimes!
NONE of my seven like my fresh nip plant.. they don’t like it growing out of the pot, they don’t like the leaves snipped and placed by their side. they don’t like it when I crush up fresh leaves either.. I thought I might have had a dud of a plant until some of it dried (for way longer then it should, because they didn’t much like it freshly dried either) and then they went NUTS for it.. 🙂
I’m thinking I’m kind of glad because it means my plant is unmolested 😉
Hey, I must have misplaced my invite to your NipFest!
They do love being outside, I go out with Digger and he just discovered the tree and has been to almost all the branches. Hope you have a purrrrrfect day!

Kitty Hugs, Sammy

Purrs Tillie and Georgia,
Treasure,Tiger,JJ and Julie
Look at you guys having all that fun out in the garden!
A couple of times my human has caught NEIGHBOR kitties dipping into MY nip garden! That is one of the downsides of being an indoor-only kitty.
Hee hee. Looks like somekitty isn’t quite willing to share the nip!
Ooh yummy fun in the garden!
This is your brain on nip. MOL! (Mommy says it makes her think of that old commercial!)
