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!

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!
🙂

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~
