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.

Look at those little suckers….actually they don’t look too little. We see squirrels running along the wires but they never stop in this yard….mmm…wonder why?
Oh those squirrels are evil, we tell you! They’re the biggest teases of all!
MOUSES! I mean, chipmunks. I mean.. squirrels?
Purrs,
Nissy
No doubt about it! MOL
Pierre would be in hyper-overload if a squirrel was to dare relax near our yard. I agree with everyone else, they are terrible teasers!
I think we know him! Can we get closer to see fur sure?
Yep, we have those here too. We think they should make those on a stick so we can whap them silly. Purrs…
Oh, just give us one minute with that brazen hussy!
Those things are dog teasers too! Maybe we should unite?
Cute x
Silly squirrels have very little to do all day so they break up the boredom by playing dare with one another, seeing who can get closest to a cat..
That squirrel is such a tease!! They drive us crazy too – sitting in front of the window, “innocently” eating. Sampson says that scaring that squirrel away looks like a job for Astrid! He sends lots of kitty-kisses her way as well. We all send hugs and love.
Squirrels tease my hubby more than the cats- they are always at the bird feeders in the winter. Right now the kitties are teased by the hummingbirds.
I love squirrels, they are so cute, we used to hand feed them when we lived in San Antonio
Squirrels are crazy. This is a great photo of just how silly they can be. I don’t know what cats think when they see them ~ entertainment, play pal, or vittles? Thanks for the smiles & happy WW!!
Those little devils (tree rats my Dad calls them) are definitely cat teasers…..they know how to drive us nuts – chittering at us JUST out of reach up a tree……running faster than even WE can run……warning everybody else in the neighborhood that we’re around……but my Mom loves squirrels so I do too – even if they drive me nuts!
Hugs, Sammy
Ooh, get it get it GET IT!
Every cat should have a squirrel to play with. 🙂
This made me think: How come they don’t make cat food in squirrel flavor?
Let me at it!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Did you invite Mr Squirrel in for a playdate?
OMC Meez wanna jump on dat. MOL
Luv ya’
Dezi
Sheesh, how big IS that furry rodent?!?! It looks like it could eat an unsuspecting kitteh!
Is that the evil squirrel that laughs at mes through the sliding door?
Kisses
Nellie
He’s a pretty cute teaser 🙂
Chloe Jo would love this! I sure do. ~xo~
You certainly know how to get our attention!
Be careful, those squirrels can be pawsitively vishus!
Have a wonderful Wednesday, furriends.
Despite their enticing long tails, squirrels don’t do anything for me. Birds, yes. Squirrels, no. But none have ever been very close to my house. Maybe I need to see one close up.
