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.

Fiona is absolutely precious!! 🙂
Purrs and woofs ~~
Chloe and Utah … the pups
Truffie, Whisper, Shady, Goldie, Callie, Midnite, Tabasco and Jazzy … the kits
Go for both, Fiona!! Happy Thanksgiving 🙂 xx
Oh Santa.. could I please have one of these?
Noodle
Looks like fun! Thanks for stopping by Tales of a Pee Dee Mama.
Wow, how can you possibly choose between those two options? 🙂
MOWZERS! Now that’s the way to spend a rainy day!
Do you like your track toy? The mom always thinks about getting us one, but she isn’t sure if we’d like it or not.
playful Fiona.
Hope you can visit my Wordless Wednesday
Do yu find that toy worth the money? xx Happy Thanksgiving
We have a similar track toy which only Tutu plays with. Mommy thinks it’s because it’s too much effort for us with bigger paws to get to the ball. 🙂
So is that thing REALLY fun?
My Human keeps looking at them & saying they’re kind of spendy and then she kind of glares at me and says, “But would you REALLY play with it, Spitty?” and I say, “Yes, I totally would! C’mon! Buy it for me!!”
But then she doesn’t. Sigh.
Did you get that track ball, Fiona?
You deaded the mousie and now you will deal with the ball.
Love these kitty games!
We have one of those on our Christmouse list.
Smart kitty. My dog likes puzzles, but my kitty simply likes to play with string.
My WW entry is #95. Come by and vote for us?
playing is just such Fun!xx Speedy
What is that you’re messing with?
fiona…if ewe get another trax ball, de noiz they make at like 3:27 AM iz GRATE !!
hope everee one at yur houz haza happee non burd pie filled thanx bee givin 🙂
We actually have two balls in the track ’cause this one was built by putting two tracks together. We never thought of crashing the balls together in the middle of the night, probably ’cause we are all piled on top of Mom and Dad in bed. Thanks for the pawsome idea.
Oh Fiona that looks like FUN!
It lookz like you already got that mouse; he is upside down. We hopez you got the ball too. You are a beautiful kitty Fiona. We loved Mauricio’s Thanksgiving Poem. He is quite a talented mancat. Love, Cali, Andy, Tater and Shelly (C.A.T.S)
Those cat tracks look like SO MUCH fun! I suppose I should add that to my Santa Paws Wish List…..then again you also have a nice mousie there standing by for when you get bored with the track……and I already have some mousies. Maybe I’ll just settle for a good mouse whacking instead of a cat track???? Save Santa some trouble!
Kitty hugs, Sammy
Have fun Fiona. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Well Fiona looks like shes having fun and the mouse looks pretty with a pink tail LOL
Have a purrrtastic week 😉
Oh Fiona, you are such a cutie, what a fab picture!
Ms. Fiona you are a beauty! And look like you are having a ball!! MOL!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
What a cute kitty! Looks like fun! Thanks for leaving a comment on my hop. 🙂
Hey I have that same track!!!! It’s pawsome isn’t it? Love, Cody
Oh, that looks like so much fun! Whap it once for us!
That all looks like fun! My human put a Pawbreaker (molded ball made completely of nip) in our track!
Whichever you choose looks like fun to play with!
To answer your question on our blog, we did get custom made bowls for Christmas last year and they each are different colors and have our names on them. We got them here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/61852186/pet-made-to-order-custom-pottery?ref=shop_home_active
yeowzers! I had one of those and never ever played with it; not even when Mom and Dad tried to join me…sigh…I never had many toys as a youngster and didn’t learn how to play a lot; I am trying to make up for as much as I can now…paw pats, Savannah
Decisions…descisions…..
The Florida Furkids
Mouseball looks like a good option!
What a tough choice! Either way looks good.
You can’t decide which one to play with, Fiona? How ’bout both!!
The ball or the mouse? The mouse or the ball?
