Miss Mimi (Feline Friday), Friendly Fill-Ins and Pet Photo Fails

 ***********************************







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!


When i noticed Miss Mimi's name on the board at the shelter, i had to get her photo.  This was the best one, many of the fails are below.  (And yes, since the photo session, she has been adopted.)









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






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 hope my Easter basket has _________ in it.


2. March has been _________.


3. If there ever was a time to _________, it's now.


4. I _________ in preparation for _________.



1. I hope my Easter basket has   a vegan chocolate bar   in it.


2. March has been   busy, especially the last few days.


3. If there ever was a time to   pray,   it's now.


4. I   read our church's Lent devotional   in preparation for   Easter.

Pet Photo Fails is hosted by Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries & Meows.     


It's hard to get a picture of a Miss Mimi when she wants petting, not posing.
