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.

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.

Wow, pretty picture but not sure it is our cup of tea. That looks like a whole lotta shoveling to us! We are Florida dogs and have only seen snow in pictures like yours. Happy belated WW! We are just a few days behind 🙂
Meow that is a lot of snow! It finally warmed up at our house and I am watching all the white stuff drip off the roof! See ya Lata!!!
Hi Mau!
Timmy
A lot of white stuff brrrrr
Wow, that is a LOT of snow. I’m sure you all are ready for spring now!
wow that is a lot of white stuff,xx Speedy
WOW! That’s what it looks like here too! Our barbecue grill looks like it’s wearing a giant snow hat.
; )
Miss Janet, Waffles here.
You asked how many more visits before I’m certified as a Therapy Cat. I have 6 more!
love,
Waff
How can something that looks so pretty in pictures look so gross in person? Maybe it’s just pretty in Virginia and not NJ.
It is no longer pretty here. It is dirty and black and piled high. It was in the upper 60s today and it melted bunches, but not enough for it to go away anytime soon.
Wow! Looks like you guys got hit with a really good snow storm! What a crazy year it has been weather-wise. Here in Michigan we have had the snowiest winter on record – more than 70″ so far. Spring will be nice, assuming we get a spring. In Michigan it sometimes snows all the way through May and then one day it is 80 degrees out. It’s weird.
Wow that is some snow…so gorgeous in the photos. But we know you are ready for spring.
Sure it’s pretty but brrrrr! We’re getting lots and lots of rain but everything is really green instead of white here!
It looks very pretty – FROM THE INSIDE!
It is pretty to look at, but that is as far as it goes.
That’s a beautiful sight.
The weather is all over the place in London
Beautiful for the eyes, but we imagine you are a little bit fed up with all that snow ! Purrs
Brrrrrrrrrrr Humbug!
It looks so pretty. Haven’t seen that much snow before!
Hello, Kitties!
Please stop by http://moggiepurrs.wordpress.com and pick you your Lighthouse Award. Congratulations!
But the snow does look beautiful on the trees! Enjoyed the pics.
if ewe wood like sum mor…pleez let uz noe…we haz had 58 inches
this yeer N we can spare PLENTEE !! no shippin costz involved !
🙂
It’s beautiful! Truly! But we understand how difficult it is to manoeuvre through it daily! No more complaining about having to cycle in the rain here in rainy Vancouver, Canada! :p
the critters in the cottage xo
Love it (but not the snow!!!) Love that it is truly “wordless” too!!!
Here in Detroit they said on the news that so far this winter we have had the MOST snow of anywhere in the country (over 74 inches) which is 30 something inches over our norm…….enough is enough already!
We’ve never seen so much snow here! It looks beautiful, but I bet you guys are tired of it. Stay warm!
Wow, and we thought we had a lot of snow! Well, we do! 🙂
Wow that’s alot of snow! Wish we had some too
That is a whole lot of snow! We can’t imagine that here.
With the haze we’re having now (due to the slash and burn of plantations at a neighboring country), we would gladly take your snow AND the UK’s rain.
Oh sweeties this is now way too much. We think everyone over your way has had enough of the white stuff. Go away and get one with Spring we say. More rain due over here. It is the worst two month this year in over 200 hundred years. We are fed up with ours too. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Hope you all are snuggly and warm inside!
That’s definitely as close to the snow as we want to get!
Have a wonderful week! Hope to see you at Friendship Friday!
We are sick sick sick of the snow snow snow!
Well, it is pretty but I’m glad I don’t live there!
OMC, what a lot of snow!
