Friendly Fill-Ins: Week 15
As promised, this is our follow-up post from Astrid’s and Lisbeth’s birthdays. Before we share some cards and photos of their birthday gift, the two girls have completed the Friendly Fill-Ins hosted my Ellen at 15 And Meowing and Annie at McGuffy’s Reader. Their completions are in teal italics.
Lisbeth:
1. When I run out of hisses, I use growls instead. I am not very sociable and can warn off my housemates from approaching me with these two defensive methods.
2. My guru is my mom.
Astrid:
3. I am afraid of Misty May. She is a bully and taunts and chases me. Her tail puffs up as big as her body, and I squeal like a little piggy.
4. I feel empowered enough to go to the second floor and visit Mom and Dad in bed. I had not been going to the second floor for a very long time. My marriage to Sampy (Kitty Cat Chronicles) has given me more confidence (except when it comes to Misty May).
To enter the blog hop, visit Annie’s blog. The link is above.
The girls received this very sweet and beautiful card from Pipo and Minko, who are always so thoughtful.
They each received their own e-card from Lisbeth’s boyfriend, Cat Scout Charles, as well.
The Birthday Gift
Dad Tom saw the gift on-line. We both agreed it was too cute to pass up. Unfortunately for Lisbeth, she was not there for the unveiling and so not in the photos. She refused to come in from the catio and even missed her dinner.
So, there it is…a shark bed! Yep…another bed! That’s Calista Jo’s pink kitty cubby bed in the background (her birthday gift) in which she has never shown any interest. As you can see Calista Jo was very interested in Mr. Shark. She even tried chewing on his teeth. Birthday girl Astrid, along with Mauricio and Fiona, happily investigated. Only time will tell if any of the Kitties Blue decide they like Mr. Shark well enough to crawl inside for a nap. Mauricio and Fiona are the main occupants of Calista Jo’s birthday bed.
So that’s it for the most recent birthdays. The next ones to celebrate will be Misty May and Mauricio on September 17.
We’ll be back tomorrow for the Caturday Art Blog Hop. The plan right now is to feature Fiona. It seems only right as the current tropical storm has been named after her.
I love that shark bed. Cool. We are Sharknado fans (ha!).
Good answers, ladies!
I always read the fill-ins on Friday and then get back to them to comment. Weekends are so hectic right now, but will settle down as we get into Fall. Thank you for participating in the Friendly Fill-Ins. We appreciate your participation. Hugs.

Good fill-in responses. I liked #1, which reminds me of my BIL and his wife’s first cat who ALWAYS hissed at us every time we visited and if we got too close then we got nasty growls. That cat had an ill disposition and hated everyone, except for her human pets. lol That shark bed is just too cute and soooo funny! 😀
We have been a bit MIA, due to petcretarial duties and concerns, but those kitty beds are great. Minko is our bitey boy so he might like the big teeth in the shark to use instead, MOL! Pipo being a real mancat…well he would likely go fur the pink…you know, ‘real men wear pink’…OMC!!
Mes so furry sorry wes late in coming to visit! Mommy says that she is just too overworked…mes believes it! She has been leaving for work at 6:30 in the morning and not getting home until 8 at night. She grumbles about being a contractor, but says the overtime will helps…
Mes is going to sings yous the song!!!

That shark bed is to die for!! Well, not literally!!! But it is adorable!!
We love the shark bed! The mom saw it on line too and we told her we wanted one but she said we already have too many beds. Phooey! We think a cat can never have too many beds…are we right???
Lisbeth – I used to hate when everybody fussed over my birthdays too (that was aboout 68 years ago. Now no one pays any attention, which makes me just as happy !) hopefuly you caught up on your eats and will enjoy your gifts and cards later !
OMC that shark bed is totally pawsome!!!!! We’re sorry we missed the birthday! Happy Birthday to Lisbeth and Astrid.

Poor Lisbeth. Sometimes a girl just needs some time to herself 🙂
Thank you both for participating in the fill-ins. I had no idea that Misty May was such a terror. Hisses and growls are most effective Lisbeth 🙂
Pipo and Minko are so thoughtful and make great cards. I love your new shark bed, that is so cute. Have a nice weekend. XO
That is a very cool gift! Our second floor belongs to Sister Precious and we dare not trespass!
We love your fill-ins, Lisbeth and Astrid! (Even if they do contain some hostility towards each other…) And, I love your birthday gift! I saw that bed online the other day and thought it looked so cool. I hope to hear that at least one of you Kitties Blue makes friends with the shark. He looks friendly enough! Purrs!
The shark bed is adorable……….it’s so funny to see a kitty putting their head inside – HAHAHA…….Mom has bought me several beds through my years and I have had NO interest in any of them. I will curl up on a fleece blankie on the floor but a bed? Maybe a shark bed is the answer…..HAHAHA.
Hugs, Sammy

Mama’s are the best guru’s. Bully’s are really scardy cats in disguise.
