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.

Astrid, if you want to be a bona fide toy hoarder, you need to add to your collection! Otherwise, you look pretty darn adorable with your pawful! 🙂
Love to all of you to your Mama too. We hope she is feeling better now! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Sometimes one needs to have all the best toys on paw. FACT.
Purrs,
Nissy
That’s a great collection of toys ! We hope you sometimes share it ! Purrs
Astrid, you remind us of the Daffy Duck cartoon where he’s inside the oyster, saying, “Mine! Mine! All mine!” 🙂
Astrid does somecat have a problem with that? Too bad!
Marty

Faraday: I don’t see the problem….
Astrid you probably need some kind of toy disengagement therapy!! MOL BTW I loved seeing Sampy watching you on the screen!! Sweet! xx
We won’t try to steal them from you!
A picture is worth a thousand words. . . .
Oh my! This is so Grizelda! She hides in the cottage on our cat tree, among all of the toys. Happy WW! ~xoxo~
OMC, Astrid, that is so adorable! Sampy wants to know if you would share your toys with him? He would love to come in your hidey hole to cuddle and play. He sends 234958720394857 kisses and even more nuzzles. Love and hugs from all of us!
That is so cute, cats that hoard are adorable- people that hoard, not so much. Thanks for coming to the 15andmeowing party yesterday.
That is cute, cute, cute!
Toy hoarder? No Way!!! We think those are all HER toys.

Dezi
Awww, so cute 🙂
We think you deserve all those toys and more so no hoarding necessary!
Ummm, I wouldn’t dream of taking any of your toys. But, if you decide to bat something over to me, I’ll bat it back to you.
That looks like a great collection of toys! Still lots of room, though.
Umm… we think maybe we don’t want to challenge you for any of toys.
Ahh that cute, things gathering his favorites together!!!
Fill that place with toys pal…. Room for lots more.
Have a great day….
hugs, Bugsy and Knuckles
Awwww, what a beautiful toy hoarder! Enjoy!
The condos are the best. And did you know you can have the folks move them to new places and give you a different view?
Good idea in a house full of kitties to find SOME spot for peace, quiet and toy hoarding!!!!
Hugs, Sammy
Cat handbook rule #17: The toys are mine. Even they once were yours, now they’re mine.
Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
