Look Before You Leap, It's the Friday Five

Hello from your Fifth Friday Five team, will smama and Songbird~

It's Leap Day!! Whether you're one of the special few who have a birthday only once every four years, or simply confused by the extra day on the calendar, everyone is welcome to join in and play our Leap Year Friday Five.

Tell us about a time you:

1. Leapt before looked
I tried jumping onto GoG's desk, but I didn't notice that there was a huge stack of papers and books. I landed on the edge of the stack and fell off. GoG didn't see, cause she was down making lunch.

2. Leapt to a conclusion
I assumed that GoG opening a can of corn was GoG opening a can of cat food. I nearly tripped her, and got a scolding.

3. Took a Leap of Faith
I allowed GoG to pick me up and hold me. Normally, I'd give her the stripes if she tried.

4. Took a literal Leap
I leapt up to to the counter and up to the windowsill without stopping.

5. And finally, what might you be faced with leaping in the coming year?
Leaping onto everything I'm not supposed to. Especially thing like GoG's desk, and the kitchen counter.

Lonely... So Lonely

GoG left, so I'm lonely. She didn't ask me. OR tell me. She just left. Harrumph. I am most displeased.

TOLD you it wasn't me!!

GoG caught TOC in the downstairs bathroom.
She made a big mess.
TOC says she wasn't there.
But she's lying.
GoG saw it.
But that was after GoG carried up an uitcase-say.
She brought it all the way upstairs.
I am worried.
TOC must have problems managing stress.
At least I don't show my stress.
But still...
I was wrongly accused of this.
Just like the poo-poo in the tub.
And I have been telling them for months that I DID NOT DO IT!!!
But they didn't believe me.
*Sigh*
Such is the life of this poor cat.

A Heavenly Friday Five

I am in Seattle assisting with family stuff and preparing to attend a memorial service (Saturday) for my sister who died of complications of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

I am not grieving much, since the shock and tears and goodbyes and losses have been many and have occurred for a long time now. I am mostly relieved that my wonderful sister and best friend is free from pain and confusion, and I am thinking of eternity. That sounds somber, but I don't mean it to be. I decided to have a little fun with the idea. So how about we share five "heavenly" things? These can me serious or funny or a combination of the two.

What is your idea of a heavenly (i.e. wonderful and perfect):

1. Family get-together

Not too many people, and anyone who comes has to give me their undivided attention. They have to be available at any time for scritches, and playing.

2. Song or musical piece

Anything GoG plays on the Shiny-screen that's not too loud.

3. Gift

Lots and lots of Greenies and lap time.

4. You choose whatever you like-food, pair of shoes, vacation, house, or something else. Just tell us what it is and what a heavenly version of it would be.
Greenies- Unlimited supply of them, and they would taste even BETTER than they already do. GoG would be able to give me as many of them as I want, and I wouldn't get sick.

5. And for a serious moment, or what would you like your entrance into the next life to be like?

What, from your vantage point now, would make Heaven "heavenly?"
Lots of Greenies and fishy snacks, my family, I wouldn't be afraid of people, the people there would be veeeeeeery nice to me.

I Told Them!

I told them! But did they listen? Noooooooo... They didn't!
I know nothing about the poo-poo in the tub! And did they believe me? Noooooooo... They didn't!
You see, poo-poo has been appearing in the tub. And I told them I wasn't doing it!
Today GoG caught TOC in mid-poop. OK, so maybe I did retaliate a little bit. But TOC started it! She did, she really really did! TOC is refusing to admit it was her. But HA!! GoG caught mid-way through her business. HA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA!! It wasn't me!! I told you! I was right!!

Triumphantly,

Friday Five: Super Bowl

There is so much going on this weekend that I thought I'd provide an options Friday 5!!!!

Superbowl ( someone explain to this Brit the significance)- love it or hate it?
I like it, but I don't like it-

1. Good: GoG is around for proper scritches
2. Good: There is lots of cheese for a good kitty to steal...hehehe...
3. Good: There are longer quiet breaks, so GoG stops yelling at the shiny window for a longer time than normal
4. Bad: Everybody is screaming
5. Bad: Too many strange people around
