***********************************
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!
While the official Tocktober Day is the 20th, my cats are posing, one at a time, on Feline Friday. This week, it's The Charismatic Enigma SissyCat's turn.
***********************************
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. My favorite Halloween movie is _____________________.
2. People always ask me for my recipe for _______________________.
3. I go to _________ when I need help.
4. If I had to spend a night in a haunted house, I would bring _________ with me.
1. My favorite Halloween movie is _____________________. I've only seen two movies which would qualify for this, Saturday the Fourteenth and Halloweentown. They're both rather cute movies, but I'm not big enough on watching movies to pick a favorite.
2. People always ask me for my recipe for banana pudding.
3. I go to prayer when I need help.
4. If I had to spend a night in a haunted house, I would bring all the same things I bring when I spend the night anywhere, squishy pillow, heating pad, comfy slippers, Bible and devotions book with me.

Cats are soooo good at making themselves comfortable aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever seen a Halloween movie.
Enigma Sissy Cat has nice 'tocks and a lovely curly tail.
ReplyDeleteCats always find the best way to comfiness. Nice fill ins.
Excellent tock and what a comfy place you made yourself, Abigail😸😸Love your surroundings, Mimi💗Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteNice cat.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, Mimi.
Abigail knew a good place to take a nap when she saw it. And when you look at sissy cat what a cutie. You won't catch me in a haunted house though.
ReplyDeleteSissy and Abigail are both cuties. I love that tail curl. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I just looked up Halloweentown, definitely going to watch that. XO
ReplyDeleteMe again= thank you for hosting Feline Friday. :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like Sissycat is shy about showing off her beautiful tocks! She has her tail curling softly over them. I guess she's living up to her name. Come on out Sissycat tocks. Let's see you in all your glory.
ReplyDeleteCute Tocks!! Mom's go-to is Saint Jude.
ReplyDeleteWere I to spend a night in a haunted house, I would - apart for warm bedding, my own pillow, and some devotional objects, preferably a crucifix as well ;) - be sure to bring a fully charged battery lamp and a spare battery. I never saw any Halloween movies, but in almost any scary movie I ever saw, peoples' flashligths stop working at the most inopportune moments.
ReplyDeleteI like your long-haired tree and never saw anything like it.
Love the kitty pics. Both are so cute. Great fill ins too. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure you'd say that the recipe people most ask you for is hojaldras, or is that just me, LOL.
ReplyDeletePawesome fill-ins, and snap on #4, a fluffy blanky and squishy pillow are most necessary! Happy Friday to mew, and we hope your weekend is totally purrfect!
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice tocks and darn good fill-in answers too!
ReplyDeleteI get the impression Halloween doesn't exactly freak you out! Lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteBravo for such a fun packed post and for hosting Feline Friday. Angel Madi is shameless even as an Angel she will show off her tocks on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
You and I have the same answers for everything except the most asked for recipe. It's my home made from scratch Sloppy Joes. Otherwise we are the same.
ReplyDeleteAdorable tocks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post!
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "It's a mighty tock with a little twist of tail!"
ReplyDeleteWhat cute tocks! I think kitties have the cutest ones.
ReplyDeleteHow we love SissyCat's tail - very stripe-y:). And Abigail found herself a great napping spot. When Misty was just a wee pup, she used to hop in the laundry basket, empty, full, clean or dirty clothes. She looked so cute and mischievous doing that.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty and Timber
SissyCat, those are some great tocks, and we love that tail curl! :)
