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!
Leopold is patiently waiting for his forever home.
***********************************
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. It's impossible to _________ when you _________.
2. _________ is great until _________.
3. I wish I could solve the mystery of _________.
4. _________ is one of the creepiest _________ I've ever encountered.
1. It's impossible to sleep well when you are hungry.
2. Having a party is great until you have to do all the clean-up.
3. I wish I could solve the mystery of how pet hair gets stuck in the places it does, and how it actually works its way into carpet fiber, never to be removed.
4. The 13th Gate ad is one of the creepiest billboards I've ever encountered.

Leopold is adorable! Such a big fancy name for a little fellow. Mom wonders too about how pet hair gets into some places and it is impossible to remove!
ReplyDeleteWith my answer to question number one: It's impossible to _think_ when you _have a toothache_ I refrain from further comments.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes always, Mimi and God bless you.
ReplyDeleteLeopold is so cute with his kitten fluffiness still.
ReplyDeleteI am sure Leopold won't have to wait long. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I had to look up 13th Gate. :) I know what you mean about pet hair. XO
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for hosting Feline Friday. XO
DeleteLeopold is too cute not to get a home soon. At least we hope so. And talk about cat for getting into everything, that just goes without saying doesn't it. Happy Friday
ReplyDeletePawesome fill-ins, and yes on #3! MOL And we did laugh at your comment about the missing socks this morning, thank mew for that! Leopold is such a cutie and we hope he gets his forever home stat!
ReplyDeleteLeopold is a little sweetie. I hope he soon gets his forever home.
ReplyDeleteGreat fill in answers, but I don't know what the 13th Gate ad is. I will have to Google it because I am curious now.
You are right, it is scary, VERY scary!
DeleteLeopold is SO cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on your 'party' Fill In, I hold lots of dinner parties and clearing up after they've gone is a nightmare!
What a little sweetie is that Leopold! He's very handsome and I love all the colours in his coat. Here's hoping he finds his furever home right quick.
ReplyDeleteLeopold is adorable. Mom agrees about the cat hair.
ReplyDeleteLeopold is so cute. I hope he finds his furever home soon. I agree about the cat hair.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Leopold is so adorable! Those were good fill-in answers and I agree about the pet hair!
ReplyDeleteOona: "Leopold looks like a very sweet kitty. Oona hopes he goes to his forever home soon!"
ReplyDeleteLulu: "I think pet fur actually helps reinforce carpets. Mama and Dada's carpets are over 20 years old and just imagine how threadbare they would be without our floof to fill in the worn spots?"
Leopold ~ you are one adorable kitty ~ hugs ~ may you have a loving forever home ASAP!

When we hear the name Leopold, we think of a lion, but that little kitty looks much less fierce that any big lion. Cutie pie.
ReplyDeleteMom says when she is hungry, she gets grumpy:)
