***********************************
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.
A few weeks ago, i featured The Baby (a/k/a Widdle or Wart) from Ms. G's house claiming her rug even when it was folded up on top of the couch while i was cleaning.
Here she has staked a claim on the new recliner even before it is in place in the living 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 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. You don’t have to convince me to ___________________________.
2. _____________is causing me stress.
3. Speaking from experience, _________.
4. Over time, my opinion of _________ has changed.
1. You don’t have to convince me to work when i’m at work, and relax when it’s time to relax.
2. My blood pressure is causing me stress. It doesn't want to stay under control right now.
3. Speaking from experience, it is much easier to keep up than to catch up.
4. Over time, my opinion of ebooks has changed. Mostly, i want hard copies of books, but having an e-reader is so convenient for travel, i would want one for that reason only.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry that your blood pressure is misbehaving and hope it can be brought into line soon.
Real books are my preference, but I can see that e-books have their place.
Ms.G's cat is beautiful. Hope your blood pressure is under control now. I still prefer real books but I agree that e-books very convenient. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLOL she is definately in charge :-)
ReplyDeleteI do hope your BP gets sorted and settles down quickly you need a good rest :-)
Have a fillintastic safe weekend 😷😷😷
Having the Kindle software on my iPad saved my sanity during the pandmic, when all the libraries were physically closed. So, I'm still a real book kind of gal but I don't mind electronic for quick reads.
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts for the troublesome bp...
Amazing how cats sit in the most unlikely places.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Cats are all about controlling the world, it really is true. Mom says you are right that keeping up with work is much easier than catching up.
ReplyDeleteIf it is new it has to be claimed whether it is in the right place or not.
ReplyDeleteMy BP is high to which worries me. I know it is my cancer meds causing it, but it seems control one thing and you cause another problem.
What a grey beauty you got
ReplyDeleteOh that kitty looks just like our Lucy! Hope your BP gets back under control and we also prefer hard books to ebooks- easier on the eyes! Have a relaxing weekend!
ReplyDeleteKitties claim whatever they want and that's that. Good looking kitty.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins. I had trouble with my BP too and the doctor added Ramipril to the mix and that did the trick.
I agree that keeping up is far easier than catching up.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Big hug. ♥
my late harvey loved to play king of the recliner with the other cats.and my kitter screwball likes to park himself on top of my computer chair.
ReplyDeleteVery cute kitty. They always claim the most comfortable spots. Thanks for participating in the fill-ins, great answers-except I am sorry your bp is giving you grief. My opinion of kindle books changed too last year when the library was closed for months- I was thankful to have new books through there. Have a nice weekend. XO
ReplyDeleteHey, nothing beats a new chair to fur up. Those were good answers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful feline friend. Good fillin answers. I tried to be balanced although this world is spinning out of control making it hard to say quiet about things. I think Sandee and her hubby are smart boating....sigh,,,, sounds perfect to escape the lunacy for a while. Have a great weekend and keep smiling. You always have the best stuff here.
ReplyDeleteIf you put the cat's rug on the cat's chair, she'll be in heaven! But Mrs G won't have anywhere to sit....
ReplyDeleteThe Baby is so cute! Every kitty has to stake their claim. Then again, everything is already theirs. And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I completely agree with your #4. I used to be stubborn and refuse to read ebooks, but now I love reading them. They really are so convenient. Have a wonderful week!
