Hello and happy Friday, friends! It's time for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, and we'd love for you to join us. My amazing co-host Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two fill-in statements, and I came up with the second two.
1. A product I would endorse is _________.
2. If I had a boat, I would name it _________.
3. _________ was one of the first times I truly felt like a responsible adult.
4. I struggle with change most especially when it relates to _________.
My answers are below in bold. This week, I again tried to make them all about the furbabies.
1. A product I would endorse is any cat carrier that I can easily get Eddy into.
(I so far haven't found this carrier. My Eddy girl wholeheartedly hates carriers of every kind, and getting her into one always turns into World War 3. I'm not usually on the winning side.)
2. If I had a boat, I would name it Rosie.
(As some of you probably know, Rosie was one of my childhood cats. My family adopted her as a kitten when I was 4, and she lived to be 21. She saw me through many different milestones in life, and so I'd easily choose name a boat after her.)
3. Adopting my first cat of my own was one of the first times I truly felt like a responsible adult.
(There have been only a couple events in my life that made me feel something along the lines of an actual adult, like joining the work force after college and buying a house. But, I think I felt most accomplished and happy with where I was in my adult life when I was able to bring home a cat and care for it all on my own. I'd grown up helping care for my beloved Rosie and other childhood pets, but when I was able to independently care for my boy Evan, and then my girls Thimble, Eddy, and Tonks, and of course pup Astrid, I felt like I'd really reached the point in my life where I'd always wanted to be.)
4. I struggle with change most especially when it relates to my furbabies.
(Like many people, I find all sorts of types of change to be daunting, for all sorts of reasons. But, what I'm getting at with this fill-in is when any kind of change means my furbabies might be uncomfortable or unhappy, even if temporarily. For example, things like moving or having major house renovations done have and always will be something that stress me out largely because I know they will stress out my kitties. I remember that being what mainly had me on edge when I moved in the past, when my home's roof was quite loudly replaced, and so on and so forth. Big events like those are plain and simply stressful in and of themselves, but one of my main stressors of such levels of change is knowing that my kitties are going to be incredibly scared.)

Beautiful Eddy fix. Great fill ins. I'm with you about change. We moved three years ago and drove from New York to Florida. My three girls were not happy and I know they were scared. They didn't understand what was happening. It's hard when you can't explain to them that everything will be fine.
Hope you have a great weekend!
I enjoyed all your answers. I had the same for #2, also naming a boat after my first cat. Eddy is adorable, that is a nice shot of her. I like the drawing, the house reminds me of mine with all the different roofs and the bay window in the front. Excellent tips too. Have a wonderful weekend. XO
Eddy, can it be true?
Your image shows a cutie pie, but your momma claims you will rip her to shreds if she tries to get you into a carrier!
Eddy, you are beautiful and i am sure you are a beautiful little tiger when you don't want to get in a carrier.
Change is never easy, i like to stay put when i can.
You are such a cutie pie, Eddy!
