Cats Are Predictably Unpredictable
WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: THE TOY HOARDER

Social Media
-
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.© Janet Buickerood Blue 01/03/2018

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! 🙂

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!

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.
