Time for some filling in sentence fun. This is a great blog hop co-hosted by two of our friends…………Miss Annie at McGuffy’s Reader and Miss Ellen at 15andMeowing. All you do is fill in the blanks in the four sentences these ladies give us Hoppers every Friday – easy right? It sure is, and if you visit all the Hoppers, you learn all kinds of stuff about each other from what they fill those blanks in WITH. Yep – trust me. Want to play along? Click the badge above and go to McGuffy’s and LINK UP!
This week I decided that I – Teddy the Tiger – can fill in the blanks all by myself instead of letting Mom do them. My fill-ins are in RED!
1. My favorite president is the president of whatever company owns the company that makes my cat food because I like my foodables a lot!.
2. This weekend, I have plans to sleep, eat, and play – not necessarily in that order.
3. I love my life, and my Mom and Dad.
4. I believe that it will be hard for me to lose weight even though my doctor wants me to and I’m on a DIET now! BOOOOO.
Yep my friends – that #4 is true. I had a vet appointment yesterday for shots and he had the NERVE to tell my Mom that I weigh too much. I’m not even TWO YEARS OLD and I’m on a diet? Well, the fact I weigh 20 lbs. already could have something to do with that I suppose. Still, if I do lose weight maybe my Dad won’t call me Bubblebutt any longer and Mom won’t call me her little Teletubby (or Teletabby). I’m now on a prescription diet food! Sniff. Oh well – I know I can do this! I already get lots of exercise because my Mom and Dad play with me a LOT up and down three flights of stairs and with the red dot and walks in the yard but they can “step it up” and play even more with me. I’ll LIKE that! Let’s just hope I don’t STARVE.
This print my Dad bought a few years ago which he said reminded him of Angel Sammy NOW looks a
lot like me – at least with the SAD expression; not the SIZE of him though that’s for sure!!!!
Love, Poor Pitiful Me……..Teddy

Oh, poor Teddy! I recently saw that getting enough sleep is key to a successful diet. As a cat, you’re off to a good start on that part! 😀

I just have to get used to this food because so far I do NOT eat it and do NOT like it.

Teddy,
I loved your responses to the fill-ins! The good mews about being an indoor kitty is someone prepares your food for you removing all temptations to get out more than you need. Trust me, it’s hard as a human to resist not doing that. It sure is tough getting the weight off. I don’t remember it being hard to put on, though. 🙂 Best of luck to you with the dieting, if I see ya next week then I know that you didn’t starve to death. 😀 Just think about how awesome you’ll look and feel once you drop a few pounds? Have a good weekend!

Oh yes I know that I need to lose some weight – it truly WAS easier to put on than it will be to take off but if I just can get used to this food I’ll be fine. So far I’m refusing to even TRY the stuff in spite of Mom’s efforts…but she’s stubborn (don’t tell her but so am I!)…..we’ll see how things go. Thanks for the encouragement!

Yes that print was one of Dad’s finds at that antiques shop you took them to…..fun memories for Mom and Dad too! I still think that picture looks more like Sam than me – not just the weight but just the “look” of the kitty – I am the happiest cat my Mom says she’s EVER had and Sammy was precious but not as “open” and friendly with everyone as I am. Anyway, I am going to try to be a good boy with my new food although I didn’t eat one bit of it overnight. Not one bit…..Mom figures sooner or later I’ll be so hungry I’ll eat ANYTHING in sight including that food!

Saphera will eat anything. That’s the problem Ultimately, the vet said to mix a can of green beans into her food – she finally stated to lose some weight, and has developed a love for beans as well as a gas issue…. Still, she’s always hungry, so we’re wondering if this is totally physical or partially psychological.
