***********************************
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 Tock-Tober day, officially, is the 20th, i'm letting my kitties show their tocks all month, one at a time. This week is Link Linker the Stinker's turn, and like the one from last week, he included a dangle. I also added bonus shots with his "brother," Dansig the Round.
***********************************
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 _________ when I feel overwhelmed.
2. My favorite streaming service is _________.
3. I try to help _________ when I can.
4. I could tell a scary story about _________.
1. I pray when I feel overwhelmed.
2. My favorite streaming service is _________. We don't have one, sorry.
3. I try to help in any way i can when I can.
4. I could tell a scary story about pregnancy and childbirth.
