Hi everyone. Before we get started, I want to give my condolences to sweet Valentine’s family. They had to say goodbye to him on June 26th. His mom is sick and no longer blogging, but condolences can be left on The Cat Blogosphere. Click here.
Time for the fill-ins. I came up with the first two sentences and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two. If you didn’t do a post for them, you can also answer in the comment section. Thank you to all who participate. Don’t forget to add your link to the hop so everyone can visit you. The link is open until Wednesday night.

we loved Valentine so much, might explain why we haven’t been getting posts. Our condolences
Yes, such sad news. XO
I’m so sorry to hear about Valentine. My condolences to the family.
We had similar answers to #2. Great advice about #4.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you. XO
Adorable picture of Angel Emmy, and good answers! I don’t like fireworks either. We were very sorry to hear about Valentine. XO
Thank you. XO
Yes to all four. Good fill-ins and thank you for letting us know about dear Valentine. Such a sweet kitty and we love her mama, Kerry.
Thank you. XO
I am sorry to hear about Valentine. I hate fireworks too!
That is a sweet picture of Angel Emmy.
Thank you. XO
Sorry to hear about Valentine – we didn’t know him well but what a handsome boy he was. Fireworks are nothing but (a) dangerous and (b) TOO NOISY! We’d prefer to celebrate with red-white-and blue ice cream – it’s more quiet. Glad Rusty has become your shadow.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
I like your idea. XO
Wonderful news about Rusty. We love the Patriotic hat that angel Emmy is wearing. But whoever invented fireworks in China 100 zillion years ago could have just not.
Thank you. XO
I didn’t know Angel Valentine but goodness, what a beautiful baby. I send condolences to his momma. Rusty! I knew you had it in you!!! Hope your fellow other Ginger does too.
He was. XO
Angel Emmy, I remember you very well. XXOO
XO
They need to make fireworks that are all colors and no noise! Fortunately my cats aren’t affected but our neighborhood dogs are.
That would be very nice. Mosty of my cats are fine with them too.
Thank you for sharing the sadness of the loss of dear Valentine, a very special boy … with a very special family.
Yes, he was. XO
We can’t believe Valentine has departed for the Rainbow Realm, we are devasted!
Supurr fill-ins today, and ditto on #2, fireworks are ok for organised events, but in the hands of regular people, NO! Have a pawesome weekend guys and lovely seeing Angel Emmy today!
I was very sad to learn that too. Thank you. XO
Valentine was a beautiful kitty. I think I made it past midnight once this year? I am a morning person!
I wish I could be a morning person. I would accomplish more. XO
My condolences to Valentine’s family my best wishes
Nice flashback of Angel Emmy being patriotic
Have a patriotictastic weekend
Thank you.
Sweet pic of Angel Emmy, and my condolences to Valentine’s family. I follow another blogger that has cats and last week, her Angel Teddy crossed the bridge. She buys Chewy products for her cats, and Chewy sent her a bouquet of flowers when she notified them to modify her order.
I was sad about sweet Teddy passing. Chewy is wonderful. XO
We don’t like fireworks either. They really scare Noelle. It’s nice that Rusty has become more loving.
I hope there are no fireworks near you. XO
Lulu: “NO FIREWORKS!!!”
Java Bean: “Fireworks don’t scare me. I bark at them to give them what-for!”
Oona: “What are fireworks?”
Chaplin: “You’ll find out soon.”
Charlee: “The dogs are not fans.”
Chaplin: “We cats don’t care though.”
Charlee: “We didn’t know Valentine but we are always sad to hear about a furry friend going to the Rainbow Bridge. We send lots of purrs for his family.”
I hope Oona isn’t afraid of the fireworks. XO
1. When I very quiet, it means that I am sick.
2. I love fireworks, but hated them when we had Little Bit. She was scared the entire time.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for common sense. There is so little at times.

Very sad about Valentine. Thank you for these great answers. Hip hop is one I could never get into. I am with you on #4. XO
Ellen, that was very thoughtful of you to give mention about Valentine (Noir Kitty Mews). You and your kitties have been such good friend/furiends to us over the years. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. -Kerry and family
You’re welcome. I am very sorry for your loss. Valentine was a special little guy. XO
It’s always so sad when a beloved pet passes away. I’ll have to pay them a visit. Valentine is a little black teddy bear.
1. When I keep falling asleep, it means that I am sick.
2. I detest fireworks. It’s the noise I can’t stand. This year in Canada we are not allowed to have them because of the wildfires.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for my handyman who is a hard worker and a fast one, too.
4. I think everyone should practise meditation so they can calm down and be able to understand each other.
Thank you for these great answers. I wish I had a handyman. And I agree about meditation. XO
I’m never in bed before midnight either. Great answer to #4! So true.
Thank you.
Those were really good answers, awwww, hooray for Rusty! That’s a sweet flashback. We’re very sad to hear about dear Valentine, he was a special one.
Thank you. Yes, he was. XO
Cute flashback! Glad Rusty is doing better.
Thank you.
If i stayed up until midnight, i’d never be able to get up for work. My Sweetie is the night owl around here.
I’m glad Rusty is calming down and i hope Rudy follows his lead.
Angel Emmy is a beauty. Thank you for joining Feline Friday!
Thank you. XO
We have the sads for Angel Valentine’s family.
Us too. XO
We all miss Valentine, even though he hasn’t blogged in a long while,. We know his family misses him even more.
Angel Emmy looked so patriotic!
1. When I can’t eat or do computer work, it means that I am sick.
2. I prefer watching fireworks. on the TV…such as tithe one from Washington DC.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for peeps who can sleuth out medical mysteries.
4. I think everyone should experience being in a hospitals bed for a number of days…real or staged, so that they will have greater empathy for those who they may have to care for in similar situations.
Thank you for these great answers. I don’t mind fireworks on tv either. Good idea with #4. xo
Sorry I am late, Ellen. And I got blocked on the Fill-Ins. Couldn’t get #4. I didn’t know Valentine, but it is always sad when a kitty has to leave their family. He is so handsome.
I have some stronger words about how I feel about fireworks but I will be good and hold back.
Here are my Fill-Ins…
1. When I stay isolated and get quiet it means that I am sick.
2. I hate fireworks. I want them banned. They frighten both animals and people. I want them to become a thing of the past.
3. I have a newfound appreciation for old time fans.
4. I think everyone should _________ so that ________.
Thanks, Ellen
Thank you for these great answers. I hate fireworks too. And I love fans, I have a cat shaped one. XO
Thanks for letting us know about Valentine. He was such a sweetheart. Very happy to hear that Rusty is settling in.
Thank you. XO
Lovely fill-ins but I’m sorry about Valentine. We’ve left some condolences to the family. Have a safe July 4th weekend.
Thank you. Hope you have a safe 4th too. XO
