***********************************
Feline Friday was originally started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude (may he rest in peace), and i'm going to believe it's because he liked 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!
These tiny things were found under a bush and the man who found them was worried when no mama came back after a few hours and it was getting dark. They hissed every time anyone touched them, although they never offered to scratch or bite. They're in a foster home now getting loved on and will soon forget they were every a little afraid of people.
***********************************
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 would like to see.
2. _________ is a museum I would like to visit.
3. I've been complimented on my _________.
4. I once got in trouble for _________.
1. _________ is a movie I would like to see. Right now, i just can't think of any.
2. Any "exploration of science" type museum is a museum I would like to visit.
3. I've been complimented on my twinkle in my eyes when i smile.
4. I once got in trouble for having to look in a dumpster for something of mine which my Sweetie had accidentally thrown away. Someone saw me and started yelling about dumpster diving being illegal and it took a lot to convince them i was only looking for something of my own thrown out by accident.

ReplyDeleteOh, those cute little baby kitties. It's wonderful that they are being fostered and will develop their 'people' skills. We wish them all long and happy lives in their furever homes. Loved your poem about the scrapyard, too. Well done.

I like the kittens and your fill-ins as well. My proferred films would be older ines ;)
ReplyDeleteThose kittens are so adorable. It's sad to think how they were left by their mom and had such fear, but they now have a bright future ahead full of love when they find their forever homes.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I had to laugh at you being accused of Dumpster Diving. Glad you convinced the person though. Those are cute little kittens. I hope the mom was okay and not had an accident.
ReplyDeleteHope you found what was lost in the dumpster because that does sound like a nasty place to have to look. How wonderful this man found these kittens and brought them in. I remember years ago I found one kitten in our front yard or someone driving by must have thrown the tiny thing out the window.
ReplyDeleteThose wee ones are all so darn adorable! Fun answers and I hope you found your dumpster treasure!
