Feline Friday was started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.
He has handed hosting duties off to Sandee, of Comedy Plus, and it's simple to join, just follow the link to Sandee's page for the rules and the code.
What is a shelter to do when there are no more rooms that can be assigned for special medical treatment, and you need a nebulizer room for the cats that have an upper respiratory infection and need breathing treatments?
You make a room:
 |
| Cat getting a breathing treatment in the nebulizer "room". |
Please note that the cats are not left in the "room" once the treatment is over. When the timer dings, out they come and back to their cage or larger room.
***********************************
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:

ReplyDeleteAww! and so necessary I hope that cat is well now :-)
ReplyDeleteThe fill ins No.1 made me laugh lol, I love watching the old film A Christmas Carol whatever version it is it's a lovely story.
Have a lovelytastic FF :-)
I know my vets also use a similar method for certain breathing situations for cats. You are so right about God's grace. It is there, and we keep going because of it. Okay, A Christmas Carol. Yes, parts are scary. Marley is scary! Glad. It is interesting, and even inspiring, to see what others perceive as things to be happy about. I am glad I am almost through downsizing! Woo-hoo! Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe cat nebulizer room is a great idea, it appears like it should work really well.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can't go wrong with A Christmas Carol. And by God's grace we are here and doing well.
That is a clever way to give a kitty his treatment. I loved all your answers to the fill-ins, especially #4. I love A Christmas Carol, I want to change my answer now :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe shelter takes good care of the cats. Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou do so many wonderful things and this is one of them. At least this little one has a fighting chance.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
That room is very ingenious. It shows a great deal of ingenuity. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteI know it's for their own good but I bet the cats don't like it.
ReplyDeleteAll of your answers are great! We know how this story ends and its all good. He has it under control. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was at this festival "Apple Butter Stirrin' -- Coshocton, OH, US" this weekend! I love, love apple butter. My granny used to make it. I sure do miss hers. :)
The Six Million Dollar Man (and the Bionic Woman) was a great show! I had a big crush on Lee Majors. haha
Miss American Rose Day sounds like a wonderful idea.
Thanks for the history lesson, Mimi! I always enjoy it. Have a blessed weekend. :)
I absolutely love the adapted nebuliser room - very ingenious. I also love that you would be a nice ghost helping out people who are lost.
ReplyDeleteThanks as always for all the really interesting information at the end of your post - I always learn so much from your blog.
