***********************************
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.
Mr. Jimmy belongs to Ms. RW. He was there to greet me when i arrived this week, and asked to go in right away. It's obvious why:
 |
| I've been waiting for you. |
 |
| How long does it take you to get your cleaning supplies? |
 |
| C'mon, please open the door! |
 |
| His food stays on top of the washer, so the dogs don't get to it. |
***********************************
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 like ketchup on my _____________________.
2. ____________________reminds me of _______________________.
3. It pains me to _________.
4. I can’t _________ without _________.
1. I like ketchup on my _____________________. (Leaving this blank as i just don't eat ketchup, sorry.)
2. Having pets reminds me of having kids, and vice versa. The only difference is the pets don't grow up and leave home.
3. It pains me to have to say no to people, but it is something i've had to learn to do when i really need to.
4. I can’t get through a morning without coffee. If i try, a headache will happen, and no work will be done.

A big hooray at finding someone else who doesn't eat ketchup. I sometimes add it to dishes I cook for himself but not to mine and I certainly don't spread it on anything. He does.
ReplyDeleteI also drew a blank on ketchup. Not even in dishes, thank you very much. I buy loads of it as most of my children love it, and think mama's crazy not to eat it ;)
ReplyDeleteKitty is hungry and waiting for you to open the door so that he gets to eat. I am not a fan of ketchup.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie he looks similar to my last cat Thomas although he wasn't as bossy as Mr Jimmy :-)
ReplyDeleteI liked your fill-ins no 2 is so true heheh!
Have a safetastic weekend 😷😷😷
Does the cat like ketchup? Have you asked him? Did you try it on his food?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Mr. Jimmy knows where he is well off!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the coffee. I am not human until I've had the first cup, then you can talk to me after the second cup.
Mr. Jimmy knew you'd let him in so he could have his breakfast. You're a jewel.
ReplyDeleteI love your fill-ins. Especially #4. I'm having my coffee right now. Delicious. I'll eat Ketchup on my fries, but nothing else. Not really a fan.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hug. ♥
Good job on the fill-ins. You made it intersting! That cat was so patiently loveable.
ReplyDeleteMr. Jimmy is a cutie. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins. You are the first I have read to dislike ketchup, but to each his own. I know what you mean about saying No, James Altucher's book titled The Power of No has helped me. Have a nice weekend. XO
ReplyDeletewavez two ewe jimmy from de land oh trout.....speekin oh trout....happee anniversarry two ewe feeld & streem :) !!! ♥♥☺☺
ReplyDeleteJimmy is gorgeous. Lola knows where her food is too, but sits on the windowsill in the sun and meows until I carry the dish to her.
ReplyDeleteMr. Jimmy is so handsome! I bet it made you smile to be greeted by him. And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I don't have any kids of the human sort, but my furbabies feel like real children to me more often than not. From what I've heard about parenthood in the more traditional sense, raising furry children is sometimes very similar. I hope your week is wonderful!
