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.

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 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.

I miss you each day.
Until we meet in heaven,
The pain will remain.

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.

My lovely Giulietta, what a great hidey-hole you have found among the Christmas decorations…wonderful to see you…cuddles to you and Fiona…
You make a perfect snoopervisor Julietta! Hope you are all having fun decorating!
Marty
Were you paid well for your efforts Giulietta?! And did it pass inspection or does it need to be returned to the pile of unacceptable Christmas lore?? You look very elegant with it draped around you 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Are you really inspecting the work,,,or did you simply know that the perfect photo opportunity was awaiting you ?
What a cuteeee picture 🙂
XOXO
Well don’t yous look gawjus there. Hav a pawsum day.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
Looks like you’ve found a great hiding spot!
Are the decorations up to snuff? No kitty can let humans getaway with lousy decorations.My kitties supervise me too.
PS…How did you get in there anyhow…we need to know your technique…pawlease?!
You are doing a furtastic job of the inspection, up close and right into it.MOL!!
Seems a bit serious though… I don’t think you’ve passed that inspection yet, haha! 🙂
Did it pass inspection?
Did it pass? Love Dolly
Did it pass inspection? Inquirin’ minds are gonna wanna know.
Purrs,
Nissy
So, Giulietta, is everything up to code in there? 🙂
Hugs to you all, dear friends!
What a beautiful photo! We just love it.
Looks like you’re doing a wonderful job, Giulietta! What a cozy hiding spot 🙂 Our mom and dad are behind on our Christmas decorations. They are going to get a tree today. None of us have climbed the Christmas tree before, but this is Caster’s first Christmas with us and they are afraid he is a tree climber. He climbs the door frames all the time, so it seems likely he will climb the tree too! We will see!
Sampy sends as many kisses to Astrid as there are clouds in the sky today (and that’s a lot – it’s really cloudy and foggy today)!
Love and hugs from all!
That is the PAWfect photo for a Christmas card. I love it!
Great job of snoopervision ! Purrs
Hey, that looks like fun! Is that a union job?
We can see you take quality control very seriously!
Cats make the best QC inspectors! If it can withstand a cat it can withstand anything!
Are you snoopervising too?
Did they pass muster?
The REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
Purrfectly cute!
MOL! Are you inspecting…or hiding?
Quality Control is such an impawtent job!!!
The Florida Furkids with special smoochies and nose kisses to Mau from Allie
Quality control is VERY impawtant! I do that around here every day…….especially at Christmas!!!
Hugs, Sammy
Very cute. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
So cute!
I just love that cat peeping between the greenery. You have brightened up my day…
What a cool pic! We LOVE it! 😀 Happy Hump Day, sweeties! xx Roxy & Tigerlino <3
You mean, out of ALL you kitties, there’s only one?
