Friendly Fill-Ins
If it’s Friday, that means it is time for some filling in. Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs) are the hosts of this blog hop. Each select two sentences to be completed by participants. Those sentences can be found on their blogs on Thursdays.
Kitties Blue left me to complete all the fill-ins this week. I used teal italics for those fill-ins. Any explanatory information is in parentheses.
1. The constant gun violence in this country is something that boggles my mind.
2. I hope to spend a lot of time in our swim/spa this summer.
3. I could really use some recommendations for getting Raleigh to be more accepting of Dad Tom and me.
4. Crawling through briars and brambles looking for Sawyer after he disappeared wasn’t my best idea. (If you don’t know, that caused me to have to have my waist-length hair cut off, as those same briars and brambles had become totally entangled in it.)

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday On Friday
As I stated in yesterday’s post, Cooper Murphy was writing the poem for Angel Sammy and Teddy’s poetry challenge. He got stuck and couldn’t finish it in time to post. So he’s here with it today.
Here’s the inspiration photo.
Though Cooper wrote the poem, I did not add him to the photo. You’ll know why when you read the poem.
Our Giant, Ginger Brother
Raleigh, have you met our big brother?
That’s not to say any of us have the same mother,
But he’s a giant, ginger cat just like me.
And I know that’s what you aspire to be.
He’s mighty and majestic and a king.
He can conquer nearly anybody and anything.
His power and strength cause others fear,
Which keeps them from venturing near.
Though, we too are strong and very brave,
It’s impossible to know how he might behave.
So, we will continue to observe him from a afar
As we don’t want to give him the chance to devoir
US!

Thanks for stopping in to see us. We will be back tomorrow with some Caturday Art.
Cool poem!
Those were all good answers, good luck with Raleigh, it can be a puzzle sometimes. That was a fun poem too.
Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Summer had a post this week with tips to get a cat to like you that may be helpful. I plan to try them on my feral crew. I love the poem and agree to keep a distance. 🙂 XO
Great fill in answers. And fun poem. I bet Raleigh and Cooper Murphy would like to play with their “big brother.”
That is a great poem. Getting your hair tangled sounds like a huge mess.
If I’d read that you’d had to cut your hair, I’d forgotten!
It’s amazing that Sawyer returned after so long away, and how wonderful that he did.
We love the poem! We hope you NEVER have to search for a kitty on walkabout again.

Good idea to keep your distance, though the lion does look as though he had a rather substantial meal.
Smart to stay away from the ginger lion cat. YIkes! on your hair. That’ll take what, 10 years to get it that long again? Or are you going to wear it short.
Oh your hair!!! I would be very unhappy to cut off waist-length hair!
LOVE the poem!! The boys did a great job and I can’t say that I blame them for not wanting to join their giant brother in that tree! Good fill-ins too and we SO SO SO agree with you about gun violence in this country – other countries think we are nuts here that we have this problem. It’s shameful.
Hugs, Teddy (and Mom too)
Good fill ins and I like Cooper Murphy’s poem too! That’s quite an unusual lion picture!
