    Hi Sandee! Happy friday! I just posted my entry! <3

      Some kitties love the snow and others not so much. I just loved this shot. Happy day and weekend, my friend. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      Yes kindness is a good word. Like that employee that made you so angry. Kindness isn’t that hard to pull off. 🙂

    My GBGV Life says:

    Great photo of that cat! Nice someone shoveled a path for it. Mom is learning a lot about diet these days. It is quite complicated when you try to change the way you have always eaten, but Mom feels it is best for her. She has had a good diet and plenty or exercise but it is time to totally redo the diet to almost vegan which is not an easy thing.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I know that. I’ve working hard on making better choices. I’m not as thin as you, but I’m working on it. Ten more pounds to go. We don’t eat a lot of meat, but I can’t imagine getting rid of all meat. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We do whatever we need to do to make sure our babies are happy. Hugs my friend. 🙂

      We are both grateful for each day we’re given. Happy weekend, my friend. 🙂

  3. Cathy Kennedy says:

    Sandee,

    That kitty is walking through a wintry wonderland! She’s probably mad at her human now. 🙂 Seriously, that’s a beautiful picture. I love to look at the snow but I don’t like being out in it. We got an inch of snow yesterday but it’s these frigid temperatures that’s bothering me this morning. It’s currently 20.7º. They forecast us to drop to 14 but I don’t think it got that cold since they were saying the low would come closer to 8am. I’m hoping it won’t fall anymore and begins its climb. The high is only expected to get to 29º. It’s just a bitterly cold day in east Tennessee.

    Kindness is a good focus word. We all can benefit with being more kind to one another. I definitely want to put back into place more exercise and a better diet. The holidays wreck my eating habits. I’m more than ready to begin a more healthier diet. I’m thankful for every day I’m given, too. That’s something that’s easily taken for granted. We assume there will be a tomorrow or that we can do the same things that we did before. Tomorrow is promised to no one and with life changes come with how we do things. For those of us fortunate to embrace a new day in our senior years…did I just say “senior”? then we understand the value of each sunrise.

    Thanks for hosting the Friday fun, my dear. Stay warm and be safe!

      Sandee says:

      What a lovely comment, Cathy. We did well this year as far as eating is concerned. In fact I lost another two pounds in December. I’m so driven to get my figure back. I’m close. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      I love doing the fill-ins. Such fun and often they make you think. Sometimes it’s hard to do them. Happy weekend. 🙂

      Our Angel Little Bit hated the snow too. She made it clear that going potty wasn’t going to happen either. Had to come out of the mountains and find some green for her to do her business. 🙂

    Cute kitty. Thank you for hosting Feline Friday and for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. Kindness is a word we should all focus on every year. Have a great weekend. XO

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

  7. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!
    Deborah says:

    That cat has a very determined look on its face! I love your answers to the fill-ins Sandee! Have a fun Friday and weekend! Big hugs! 🙂 <3

  8. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Happy New Year Sandee! Epic fill-ins, and thank mew as always for being such an ameozwing host! XX

    Lovely kitty braving the snow. We occasionally get snow, maybe a couple of inches every 7 or 8 years, but the boys still had to have their walks in the fields. They enjoyed it more than me!

    It was just above freezing today. Marv went out and came back in grumbling that the “Cat Paths” had not been shovelled and he could NOT get around the house! I told him the roof was more important and he was disgruntled. He even pointed out that the cat you had for Feline Friday had a Cat Path and that I was falling down on my parental duties! He said to send you whisker Kisses and Head Bonks.

    Dad says that snow is beautiful and it reminds him of his New Englad days, but he hopes he never has to deal with it again. Your #4 answer is right up there with dad’s thoughts. He says he’s happy as long as he wakes up breathing every day.
