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.

That squirrel is very interesting isn’t it Astrid.
So cute! Do you think you can get that squirrel, Astrid? I can’t blame you for being so curious. That looks like a really fun squirrel to watch. 🙂
Very cute. My cats love to watch the birds and squirrels too. Kitty TV at it’s best!
Those squirrels must be putting on a good show!

Squirrel hunting is great entertainment for them, we call it cat TV
Saw one the other day running along our back fence. I was indoors watching out the window of course!
It’s a good thing for that squirrel that the window is there. It looks like Astrid is ready to go. 🙂
Squirrel TV is the BESTEST!!
Get that squirrel!
Something definitely has that cat’s attention.
Happy WW!
🙂
Traci
Hahah! I have squirrel watchers, too – but these days not many squirrels venture into the garden!
I think Astrid is after the squirrels nuts….No pun intended
Caught something ? 😛
Oh Astrid you sure have that squirrel under strict surveillance!!!!!!!
Hugs, Sammy
Astrid, looks like you approve of that channel on the Cat TV!
Me too is on my way to join you 🙂
XOXO

Best wishes Molly
The hunter on watch … adorable.

Squirrel TV is the BEST!
You can almost feel the tension, the body poised, ready to spring, the chattering ‘come on I dare you’
Harvey
Looks like she is daring that squirrel to come closer…
Oh Pierre wishes he could catch a squirrel so badly! If he could climb trees like a cat…
The nerve of that squirrel! So close to your window! They’re pawsitively vishus. Pffft!
When squirrels are that close around here, Binga goes NUTS!
Astrid is such a beauty!
Our old cat Hobie would stalk the windows for birds, squirrels and chipmunks. He would “Murrrrr” each time he’d see them….
Looks like a great squirrel-watching window.
wow, the way your cat sits, very serious and in tune.
Astrid, you are totally at attention watching that squirrel! What a terrific picture. 🙂
Very cute picture! I noticed she is wearing a collar. Do all of your cats? Chloe Jo wears one. ~xo~
