Nyla (Feline Friday), and Friendly Fill-ins

***********************************




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.

Nyla is one crazy cat.  Yes, she turns herself upside down like this, and then sometimes puts her feet under her food or water bowl and turns them over.  None of us can wait for her quarantine time to be over so she can move to a room and get adopted, she needs more space!









***********************************




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 Four-Legged Furballs to link up and share your thoughts!  Visit Ms Ellen and leave your condolences for the loss of her cat, Polar Bear.      

Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:


1. To _________ or not to _________? is a question I ask myself.

2. I wish _________ would _________.

3. I'm on the fence about _________.

4. If you don't _________, you won't _________.


1. To   tackle some extra work at Mr. BA's shop this week   or not to   do it because of the heat?   is a question I ask myself.

2. I wish   everyone   would   realize the world is a better place when we look out for each other instead of only "looking out for #1".  (i also wish Sweetie would realize, after 35  years, that i can't go buy him what i don't know he's out of, but just like human nature probably isn't going to change, neither is that little quirk of his, and the first answer seemed the more important)

3. I'm on the fence about    moving to a different blogging platform.  Knowing me, i will just figure out how to work around what i have now, and defer such a thing to when i am not working 6 days a week.

4. If you don't   brush and floss your teeth,   you won't   have any!

  4. Cats do not do well if confined. Hope that kitty gets more space and a home soon. As for the blogging platform, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Wait until you have time to mess around with it.

  5. Oh that cat really needs more space. Rebellious and it's cute. Not for those tending to it but for the rest of us.

    Love all your fill-ins. So Mr. Sweetie things you are a mind-reader? Hubby tends to his own things and that suits me fine.

    Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

    Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend, my friend. Big hug. ♥

  7. Nyla is so precious! And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I'm a creature of habit and can't even imagine changing blogging platforms. I actually do enjoy Blogger, though, so that's also why I don't see myself changing. Have a wonderful weekend!
