What it comes down to is, as long as they are fed, they don't care what else is going on in the world!
************************************************
Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
My fill-ins for the statements are underlined:
Week 15: August 19, 2016
1. When i run out of one shape of pasta, i use another shape instead. Yes, i know, the Italians use specific shapes for certain sauces and dishes, but i'm not so picky.
2. My guru is anyone who goes out into the world and does good for people and/or animals.
3. I am afraid of fire. The idea of being badly burned terrifies me.
4. I feel empowered when i can set a goal and accomplish it.

Your kitties are such cuties. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I never really think about fires, but that is a scary thought. I feel bad for burn survivors and all they go through so stay alive.
ReplyDeleteAccomplishing a goal does feel good. Have a great weekend.
Aww! and I love the captions heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovelytastic FF :-)
You sized up kittens and cat very nicely. As long as they are fed they are happy.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
You got that kitty behavior just right. Dexter is napping between watching Wendy Williams at my feet right now.
ReplyDeletePretty kitties! :) And I love your fill-in answers - I do that too, the using a different shaped pasta for another when I'm out. :) YES! I'm scared of fire, too. Unless it's a campfire roasting marshmallows. :)
ReplyDeleteSubstitutions, Gurus, Fear and Empowerment – just some Fun Friendly Fill-Ins on a Friday!
Cats are always survivors and don't seem to get too involved with things not directly related to them.
ReplyDeletethey provide a good, constant calm. :)
ReplyDeleteThe thought of being in a fire and burning to death scares me, too. One of the most upsetting events in my childhood happened because of a lady getting burned to death in a fire. Her husband came to my Aunt Mae's house crying, reliving the awful thing that had happened years before. I think that I'll remember his story and tears forever. It was the first time I'd ever seen a man cry. His house had caught fire with his wife inside of it. He couldn't get in to save her, but could see her standing there calling for him, for help, being burned to death. It was an awful story.
ReplyDeleteI pray something so awful as that never happens to any of us!
I'm not picky with my pasta either.
Your kitties are precious. :)
Have a blessed weekend!
cats are like that yes they are! Hope things are drying out!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about cats, if their needs are met they are happy! :-) I wish we had nothing more to worry about than they do!
ReplyDeleteI agree about pasta, it all tastes about the same so who cares a out how it looks! Oooh, fire is very scary, I agree that the prospect of being trapped in a fire is terrifying, and so is the worry about getting our furkids out!
I agree with you on number 2 and number 4 too!
Pasta comes in different shapes? I thought it was all shells and cheese. Fire is scary.
ReplyDeleteI love the lazy cat pictures! I agree with all your fill-ins, especially fire. I'm terrified of fire and electricity. O.o
ReplyDeleteI agree pasta is pasta whatever the shape.
ReplyDeleteMimi, I love your honesty. Great answers, and I can relate. I always read the fill-ins on Friday and then get back to them to comment. Weekends are so hectic right now, but will settle down as we get into Fall. Thank you for participating in the Friendly Fill-Ins. We appreciate your participation. Hugs.
