It seems like only yesterdayâŠ
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.
Iâve already started to grieve.
Youâve fought hard for the past year,
And Iâm not ready to say good-bye.
I canât imagine you not in my life
I am so sadâŠtoday I had to cry.
I am grateful and blessed
For my six years with you.
Youâll live in my heart forever.
Youâre one of the best ever Kitties Blue.

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 has passed since you flew away,
And I still think of you everyday.
I see your sweet face in my mindâs eye
And wish weâd never had to say good-bye.
Itâs nice youâve 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 weâre 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.

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.
© Giulietta Blue 11/01/17
I donât 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 ânoâ for an answer
And always got your way.
If not, youâd 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.

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

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.

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.
