Nine Lives Photo Story

Today I am celebrating my ninth life. You see folks during my last eight lives, I've been nothing but trouble.



I've escaped being devoured by a big dog.



I just missed being hit by an oncoming train while crossing the tracks trying to catch a big juicy rat.



I fell out of the highest tree I could climb trying to catch a blue bird.



I got struck by lightening trying to get out of the rain. I hate water!



I slipped on a banana peel...Disgusting humans can't even walk to the trash can!



I lost my tail when I crashed my rocket. It took me forever to build that darn thing too. -_-



I lost my foot while running away from the police after I got caught stealing some goldfish from the pet store.



Then I found this shiny black ball with some string attached and it blew me to pieces. (What? I thought it had yarn inside.)



By this point my owner was furious with me. She was tired of fixing me. She said "Cats only have nine lives, you have lost eight so far.
If you lose any more pieces or fall apart again, you will be banished to your box and put onto the marketplace to find a new home. Behave!"



Now that I only have one life left, no more mischief from me. After my celebration is over, I think I will start by taking a nice cat nap.




Haha A cheshire cat not make mischief... Wish me luck ​

Byron's When We Two Parted: The Nine Secret Lives Remix


When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,



Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.



The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow —
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.



Thy vows are all broken,



And light is thy fame:



I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.



They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;



A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?



They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:



Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.



In secret we met —
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.



If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

Nine Lives

You wouldn't know it, but I've captained a Starship


I've fought the Dark Lord and I've flown a broom


I've banished Angels, smoked Demons, and burnt the bones of ghosts


I solved the riddles, chased the cat, and stopped The Joker


I've travelled time and space, flown the blue box, and asked the question


I've stood on the wall, and I've watched winter come


I've fought wars, travelled the stars, I've won and I've lost; I've saved people, even when I didn't want to save myself


I've met aliens, races scattered about the galaxies. I've brokered peace and jumped through the puddle


I've seen worlds you'd never dream; I've friends I'll never meet, friends I'll never forget


Nine lives? I've lived a thousand
