LILY OLIVIA
WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: PATIENCE
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.

How long did she sat there? 😉
Patience OFTEN pays off – so did it?????
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
Did you get it?! And then did you fry it up with a pinch of catnip?!! We hope so! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
That’s closer than we get!
So far away….and yet SO close!!
Yeah, we were TOTALLY confused about Tocktober, too. But then momFOD started following me with the camera, and I tried to walk away, but that gave her EXACTLY what she wanted… OHHh!! !_ Crepes.
Hi furiends! We made out little collage in Photoshop but the Human didn’t spend too much time on it or it could’ve looked spiffier. She was afraid if she kept fooling with it she wouldn’t get it done and then we’d STILL have these awardies stuck in our draft folder! XOXOXO to the LadyCats <3
We hope your patience pays off, Lily!
whoa! I haven’t seen you guys in ages. I accepted your award in my last award show. Hope you’ve all been well. Patience is a cat’s middle name. TW gets mad that it takes me so long to pounce when we’re playing. She wants instant gratification while I have to stalk.
Amazing how patient we can be when we really want something. 🙂
Thanks for joining the party at Tales of a Pee Dee Mama.
We love your animated graphic of Lily O!
Ha ha. That’s why our neighbor cats love our house; they sit and wait go their prey under the birdfeeders. All my kitties can do is watch!
Yep! We can be patient … unless it’s nom time!!
Half my crew has incredible patience — the other — not so much! 😀
What critter did you spot there?
It’s hard sometimes…
Mauricio, Buddy!!
I did, I did join!! The Human has been absolutely worthless as far as helping me *DO* anything, but I am there, in the Worldwide Wildcats!! Come see 😉
And just as you take that move…..
Nice try though!!
I LOVE your name…absolutely LOVE it.
So, Lily Olivia … did your patience pay off? 🙂
ooh exciting!xx Speedy
oh noe yur knot lily….
You are waiting to pounce we can tell 😉
Are you waiting to invite those birdies to tea? To answer your questions, Lola is a solid grey, however she has rings of darker grey round her tail.
Oh no, we kind of hope you don;t get those birds. But it does take a lot of patience to catch a bird. They are pretty darn quick. Take care.
Oooh what a great spot to practice in!!!
Patience that is!
Beautiful calico! Thanks for stopping by!
It’ll be worth the wait, LIly!
patient AND beautiful! Love Calico kitties!
I agree cats have so much patience I do find it comical when they sit and stare heheh!
Have a purrrfectastic week 😉
Oh yea, patience and a little wiggle butt!
Alice has to exert her patience from inside the house!
So cute! Unfortunately I have a similar picture of my dog after she’d chased a cat up the tree at my parents’ house.
We are so there with you….squirrel hunting demands a lot of it. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Almost…Lily Olivia…almost!
No-one has more patience than a cat
Uh-oh, if your human is out there taking photos, chances are any opportunities will be thwarted!
Soon, my pretty…soon!
You look quite ambitious Lily 🙂
