***********************************
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.
No matter what, every time i try to take pictures of kittens in the bigger cages at the shelter, they head right for the litter box!

***********************************
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 Lorianne The Menagerie Mom of Four-Legged Furballs. 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!
Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:
1. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into _____________________ on Thanksgiving.
2. I will pass on ___________________ on Thanksgiving.
3. I wish _________ was served at holiday gatherings.
4. I will always be thankful for _________.
1. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into Brussels sprouts sautéed in olive oil on Thanksgiving.
2. I will pass on all things non-vegan on Thanksgiving.
3. I wish vegetable sushi was served at holiday gatherings.
4. I will always be thankful for faith, family, and friends.

ReplyDeleteI liked your replies especially 4 ;-)
Have a sprouttastic weekend :-)
Love the kitties going to the litter box. Perhaps they are giving your their best side? Don't know.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins. I could go meatless too. I'm pretty close now.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend, my friend. ♥
Thank you for participating in the fill-ins- great answers, especially #4. I love Brussels sprouts too. Cute kitten, cats always know how to ruin a good photo on us though. Have a nice weekend.XO
ReplyDeleteDo you think those kitties are trying to tell you something?
ReplyDeleteI love Brussels sprouts and can never understand why so many people dislike them.
Yep, kittens aren't sure about lots of things yet. We enjoyed your answers and russels sprouts in olive oil show up here from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThat's an odd affect you have on cats lol.
ReplyDeleteKittens and cats are born with an innate ability to avoid a camera. I'm surprised you didn't know that it's a biological fact. Just kidding. We haven't experimentally proven that yet, but we're working on it. 😉
ReplyDeleteBrussels sprouts in olive oil baked in the oven is a staple at our Thanksgiving table and although I've never heard of vegetable sushi before, I'm good with it.
Perhaps the camera scares the kitties ~ lush fillins ~ making me hungry ~ ^_^
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to You,
