PJ and JellyBean Jr. (Feline Friday), Friendly Fill-ins, Nature Friday and Pet Photo Fails

 ***********************************







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!


PJ and JellyBean Jr. were bonded and adopted together.  They were rather shy and we're glad they went with a family which will get them come out of their shells at their own pace.


They werw shy about pictures and the rest are Photo Fails below 










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






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 have had Covid _________ times.


2. There is no acceptable excuse for _________.


3. I wish _________ lasted all year long.


4. I probably look silly when I _________, but I don't care.



1. I have had Covid   1 (one)  time(s).   And it was more than enough.


2. There is no acceptable excuse for   man's inhumanity to man.


3. I wish   autumn and spring  lasted all year long   six months each.   


4. I probably look silly when I   am "on my knees in front of the toilet again" as Grandma says, in my cleaning apron and attacking the grot and grime found in and around it,   but I don't care.

Nature Friday is hosted by LLB in Our Backyard Simply post a picture of the natural world, and link up!

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


PJ and JellyBean Jr. were not very cooperative with the pictures, and as with so many, as soon as you open the cage to try to get a good snap, they try to scoot around you and get out.

  2. PJ and Jellybean are two cuties. I'm glad they have each other. It would be nice if they were adopted together. Actually, I found the photo fails rather amewsing because it looks like they were turning their heads away to thwart you. Spunky! I hope they find their forever homes very soon.

  3. I am glad PJ and Jelly Bean were adopted together. It is always better if bonded cats can stay together. They look very sweet even if they didn't want their photos taken. They gave you some good fails.

  5. I'm glad the kittens were adopted together. I wouldn't mind autumn staying for longer but hayfever spring can be shorter in my opinion.
