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.

Did you find it? DID YOU FIND IT? Please let us all know, ASAP.
Purrs,
Nissy
Check our Monday post to find out.
I hope you found it
*MOL* *MOL* *MOL*
*slaps paw to forehead* why, oh why do the peeps insist on whacking off our tails in their stoopid photos!…sheeesh!….*reaching into magic tunnel and pulling out lovely long tortie tail*…”Here ya go Astrid…it was right here all along”…*tosses it to Astrid*. paw pats, Savvy
Oh Savvy, Thank you so much. How did my tail get all the way to California and into your tunnel? Mom has promised us a tunnel, but we still don’t have one, and we have no other teleportation devices in our household. I really appreciate your finding it for me. Mom loves to see my tail waving in the air when I prance through the house, so was very sorry when it went missing. You are a good friend. Purrs, Astrid
That did make us laugh 🙂
MOL! We hope you found your Tortie tail!
Yikes! We sure hope it turns up soon, Astrid!
Astrid your tail is beautiful but you have the sweetest face!
Thank you very much. When our mom saw me on Petfinder, she was attracted by my cute little face and lips. She knew I had to come to live with her the moment she saw my photo.
Holy Cat! You lost your tail, Astrid??? We will help you look for it — we’re coming over right now!
Oh dear Astrid we will keep our eyes open for it!
Astrid, we hope your tail didn’t wander off too far….but if it did, you would have a funny tale to tell! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Oh no! I hope you soon find it.
I hope you find your tail Astrid! It sure is a cute tail – I can see why someone else might take it.
Great one MOL
Oh no…if we find it, we’re gonna keep it! MOL! 😉
Wally, Ernie and Zoey, please don’t do that. One of the things I love about Astrid is how her tail waves in the air when she trots through the house. I would really miss that. I bet Wally didn’t come up with that idea ’cause that would be hooliganism.
Sure we will MOL ! Purrs
If you got nip, I can locate your tail. MOL!
We got nip…homegrown organic and store-bought stuff. Take your pick.
MOL!
MOL We will Astrid we will!
oh that is too funny!!
LOL…fun photo idea!
But that tail can tell a tale!
–Purrs (and woofs) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
Bwaa!! Haa!! Haa!!
Kisses
Nellie
Oh wow! We didn’t know they could get lost! We gonna keep an eye on the tails around here. They not gonna get away from us 🙂
Hugs!
One of our rescues, many years ago, had lost his tail. Django was about 18 when he came to us, so no one knew how it happened. He was a Birman, and was adorable. Astrid is gorgeous, and thankfully her tail is where it belongs!
*wide eyed look* MOWZERS. Did it get founded yet? (and Faraday wants to know what the Reward is!)
Still missing! Greenies, of course, and some nip!
Oh, no – Astrid, how did you lose your tail?!? Sampson says that he thinks the tail hanging over the kitty perch looks a lot like yours. But if you can’t find it, he has offered his services to come help you! He also wanted me to tell you that you are looking very beautiful.
Astrid says, “Thank you,” for the nice complement. And she thinks a handsome Cat Scout like Sampson could be of great use to help her find her tail. Her Cat Scout brofur is too busy to bother to help her. She says that she would welcome Sampson’s company anytime.
Sampson is always happy to help! And he would definitely like another excuse to spend time with Astrid 🙂
Uhoh…….Astrid I see a spare tail up on a shelf that would quite nicely match your furs! GO FOR IT!!!
Hugs, Sammy
We agree a quick pull to see who it is attached to???? LOL. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
We say give it a tug like Spitty. Have a super Wednesday xxoxx
Mollie and Alfie
Astrid, are you sure that is YOUR tail? It looks an awful lot like Binga’s.
MOL! We keep seeing a tail sticking out from under the peep’s bed. It looks like the one that Georgia has but we are afraid to pull on it to find out if she lost it.
Ha ha ha! I say give it a little PULL and see if it is attached to anything. I bet you might be surprised! XOXOXO Did you see what my “Wordless Wednesday” post is today???
