***********************************
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!
Their mama was Margarita, these are Salt, Lime and Ice!
It's not easy to get good shots of kittens, especially in the cages.
***********************************
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 will keep my old _________ over a new one any day.
2. My theme song for the year is _________.
3. _________ is the most relaxing part of my day.
4. _________ is the most stressful part of my day.
1. I will keep my old Bible over a new one any day. It's got all the notes, prayers, you name it, and it's falling apart and i dread the day i have to retire it.
2. My theme song for the year is Bless the Lord, O My Soul.
3. Evenings after work when i don't have to leave the house again is the most relaxing part of my day.
4. Any time prior to evenings after work when i don't have to leave the house again is the most stressful part of my day.

Beautiful kittens. God bless, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteThose kittens are adorable. I still have my old bible from bible class days which would make it over 60 years old.
ReplyDeleteAt least those kittens are keeping each other happy by swinging together in a hammock. It kind of makes the cage bars fade away even for a while. We wish them all forever homes in the near future. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteKittens and flowers. Makes for a perfect post. I guess snow is coming up out of the South again today. Will be sitting here with bells on waiting for it.

ReplyDeleteGreat fill-in answers, Mimi. I especially loved your answers for #s 3 and 4. Those kittens are really cute -- they're as delicious as the drink ingreadients they're named for. :)
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are precious. The one in the back and the one on the right look like our Raleigh and Audrey. The camellia is lovely. I have a light pink bush. No more blooms here.
