***********************************
Feline Friday was originally started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude (who no longer blogs), and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.
He handed hosting duties off to Sandee at Comedy Plus, and now she's entrusting it to me.
Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is: Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (they may be silly or cute). Then add your link!
One thing for sure is this is a fun and easy meme to do. So come and join us in Feline Friday.
What better way to start the weekend than with a feline!
If you want kittens, the shelter has them.
***********************************
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. When I _________, it means that I am sick.
2. I _________ fireworks.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for _________.
4. I think everyone should _________ so that _________.
1. When I don't go to work, it means that I am sick.
2. I like fireworks conditionally, the condition being they are professionally done and people who don't like them can stay away, or take their pets out of the area because they know when the show will happen.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for quiet and silence.
4. I think everyone should listen more, becoming as interested in understanding as in being understood so that we might be better able to understand and care for one another.
