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 has entrusted 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!
Some kittens are messy and spill their water a lot. The shelter staff has finally come up with a way to combat or at least contain it.
 |
| Ingenuity. |
The hook which holds the water bowl is placed so it holds the bowl in the small repurposed litter pan, making it much harder to spill and easy to clean when it is spilled.
 |
| With some culprits. |

| More culprits. |
***********************************
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 tend to scrimp on ___________________.
2. I tend to save on _________________________.
3. I’ve nearly perfected _________.
4. I need to find a better way to _________.
1. I tend to scrimp on myself; if it's not an essential, it can wait a little longer.
2. I tend to save on myself; if it is essential, can i find it on special?
3. I’ve nearly perfected my mommy glare. I say nearly because once in so often it doesn't work.
4. I need to find a better way to keep my blog ideas organized as i keep getting more and more and losing the ones i was going to do next in the long lists.

ReplyDeleteThe kitties are so awwdorable and what a great idea to put the pan in the cage. That saves a lot of time, of cleaning🐱Great fill ins and so agree about #3 especially with all the cuteness around you, it's not easy😁Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend, Mimi🐾😽💞
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the kittens and it's wonderful to know how well you take care of them. September 11th is the day we will never forget.
ReplyDeleteLove the clever water bowl trick and those kittens are irresistible!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute kittens. That is a good idea and then they won't be without water if they spill it all. Thank you for hosting Feline Friday and for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. XO
ReplyDeleteLovely kittie pics! I'd love to see your mommy glare, sounds pretty scary to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea!!! Great answers to the Fill-ins!
ReplyDeleteThose culprits sure are cute! Good fill-in answers too. We will always remember that horrible day in our history.
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Messy kittens? Inconceivable! Probably it's pixies or boggarts or something sneaking in and spilling their water and stuff."
ReplyDeleteOona: "LET OONA IN THERE! SHE WILL STOP THE PIXIES AND THE BOGGARTS! WHATEVER THOSE ARE!"
Lulu: "We weren't around for 9/11, of course, but our Mama and Dada will never forget it. Our Dada was in a meeting in the only room in the building that had a television, and somebody knocked on the door and said they needed the TV, and that was the end of the meeting. And of any work for the rest of the day."
Great idea for the water spills. The kitties are so cute.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! We are finally starting to cool down from the hot hot hots we had this summer! We LOVE your fillins and we LOVED the kittens! We here spill the dish too, ours sits in a boot tray. Mom figured if it kept the melting snow from spreading all over the floor it would work for the eater dish, and it does! Keep being awesome Mimi! Your #1 Fan Club the Marvelous and Company
ReplyDeleteCute kitties and wonderful post ~ especially the 9/11 remembrance ~ Hugs ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhat excellent information on 'kitty containment'.
ReplyDeleteOur first cat was quite a digger. We often said he dug to China to cover up. Never much mess. Madi was what I called a litter box and dasher. Oh dear me she got her business done and clear out of dodge. I had two huge beach towels under her loo.
I will never ever forget 9/11
As always you nature is lovely
Hugs cecilia
