***********************************
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!
I am not allowed to fold this blanket yet. Abigail's paw has need of 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. _________ is a movie I can quote by heart.
2. _________ is a bad habit that I would like to stop doing.
3. I look forward to the return of _________.
4. Amongst my family and friends, I'm known as _________.
1. Disney's Alice in Wonderland is a movie I can almost quote by heart, or at least I could when the children were young.
2. Letting the awful traffic make me a grump is a bad habit that I would like to stop doing.
3. I look forward to the return of spring and autumn, every year (not a fan of extreme cold or heat).
4. Amongst my family and friends, I'm known as the janitor.
