(Because some people like Blogger and some like WordPress, i am putting the same content at both. If you would prefer to read this on the other site, it is linked here.)
***********************************
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.
As i suspected, the litter of kittens i am bottle raising is actually a litter of one and a litter of two that animal control stuck together and handed to the shelter.
The orange tabby boy, whom i simply call Little Brother, is at least a week younger than the two girls. He has adapted well to being with them, and can rest no matter what they do. He even sleeps at times when they step over him!
***********************************
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:

ReplyDeleteAnd yes, wouldn't it be nice to have someone else do the cleaning...
Cute little kitties! I am still waiting for someone to come along to do my cleaning!
ReplyDeleteHow very cute he is very patient by the sound of it heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a kittentastic weekend :-)
It's a shame National Take a Break Day falls in April, right in the middle of the A-Z Challenge. Is there a Reset National Days Day?
ReplyDeleteMy Friend Rosey - R is for Run!
Good for you for helping to feed those little kittens. We know they are grateful. You have a great day.
ReplyDeletelook at that fat tummy on the little orange tabby! Wish I lived closer so I could help!
ReplyDeleteThose kittens are so cute, especially the one on his back. Great fill-in answers. I used to like to play school too and I even went to school for teaching, but I ended up a tutor because controlling an entire class is impossible for this pushover. Have a great weekend! XO
ReplyDeleteAwww on the kitties. So adorable and Little Brother is a smart one. No since in making waves.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins and you're not weird. You're fun and loving. I like that about you.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. ♥
I hope Little Brother survives with both sisters. You're great taking care of all three kittens. Take care Mimi. See ya.

Today is also, apparently, "Give Jz an Earworm Day"... between Hilary with "Red River Valley" and you with "You Light Up My Life", I'm inundated!
ReplyDelete(But of the two, I'd rather be stuck with Red River Valley...)
When I was growing up, we used to play school, too. My older sister ALWAYS decided what we would play. She was the teacher and me and the two next door neighbor girls were the students. It wasn't fun but it wasn't boring, either.
ReplyDeleteMimi,
ReplyDeleteNice to read your fill-ins. I remember playing school as a kid, too. I guess that makes me weird also. :D
We didn't get any extra rest this morning like usual. We're heading to the mountains for the day so we're trying to get ahead of the crowd. Have a relaxing weekend and thanks for visiting, my friend!

Aww those kitties are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI don't think that loving to play school was weird, but then, I loved playing school, too. :)
I agree with you about old shoes. Once I have a pair that I love and grows on me, I absolutely do not want to have to deal with a new pair. I resewed a pair of suede ankle boots at least twice because I didn't want to give them up.
National Teach Children to Save Day sounds like a great idea.
Have a blessed Sunday. :)
Your sister-in-law is very talented! That was a pretty funny joke :-)
