Remember before Friendly Fill-Ins on Friday we had CLEANING DAY?
Sammy called it MONSTER DAY….
It was Monster Day because that’s what he called the vacuum!
Well, since there is no Friendly Fill-Ins today, we are having a sort of flashback to the good old Monster Friday days. Do you remember who used to come clean our house? The Broomhildas???????
They did a great job too but they moved on eventually and we STILL have housecleaning around here on Fridays but Mom does it on her own with some help from my Dad. Just like Sammy, I am NOT a fan of the MONSTER so I stay out of the way until the noise stops then I come out and inspect everything to make sure it’s been done correctly and to my HIGH STANDARDS.
We thought you’d maybe enjoy seeing some of the old jokes and fun that used to “populate the pages” of our blog on Fridays.
Then there were all those friends willing to help out!
Yep – those were fun Fridays. But we miss Friendly Fill-Ins so we hope our co-hosts Annie of McGuffy’s Reader and Ellen of 15andMeowing give us a challenge next Friday…….until then – HAPPY HOUSECLEANING!!!!
I hate it just as much as Angel Sammy did, Doc!
Hugs, Teddy
Maybe I’ll help by cleaning the sink??????
TWO Spoiled Cats 
I’m not scared of it, but I hate the noise of the vacuum cleaner! Our cats hide until it’s put away again.
The other day the male biped said he couldn’t find a pen and the female biped told him to look under the sofa! There weren’t as many things under there as in that picture, but it is where the cats hide things they’ve ‘acquired’.

My Dad routinely puts a yardstick UNDER the couch and TV stand and recliners to pull out “things” that I’ve whapped into oblivion. One of my favorite toys is ping pong balls and they roll ALL OVER THE PLACE. Cleaning day everything gets rounded up again for another week of fun! LOL

I loved the one about getting things done cause the internet was down…yup,,,its like that around here too, MOL!
Our Angels Simba and Toki both enjoyed the vacuuming days…and they wanted to get their share of that vacuuming on their furs. In fact Simba would o to the place where the vacuum stopped and wait for his ‘session’.
MJF wanted to have his furs vacuumed too…Toki taught him I think:)

I think the worst part of cleaning day around here is having TWO monster machines at work simultaneously. Dad helps Mom by vacuuming the upstairs while she’s working on the downstairs…..there is a monster in the closet on both floors and when they’re both going it’s too much for me – I head for the basement where it’s QUIET. A guy needs his rest right Phenny? Sorry you had rain on the inside AND outside last time your Mom cleaned. You need to carry an umbrella with you at all times.

We aren’t bothered by the vacuum here – I was desensitized to those types of noises as a kitten, and Binga and Boodie… I’ll just say that at their age, they are maybe a bit hard of hearing.

I absolutely hate the vacuum from the planet Doom but you know what? My brother, Anderson, hates brooms even more. He’s scared of ’em. Peep #1 says someone must have hit him with one before he came to live with us. Remember how he lived outside in the cold for several months before learnin’ to trust my peeps? Yeah, he doesn’t talk much ’bout it but I think he had a really hard time. purrs

What a bummer that the vacuum scares you, T. Luckily, I am not afraid of it. Mom vacuums obsessively every single day – sometimes TWICE a day. She says it’s because of me. Apparently white furs and a dark brown floor is a bad combination.

It’s so funny how just about the time we think we should get poor Teddy more toys, David goes around with a big yardstick and pokes around all the furniture and finds all kinds of STUFF…..his current favorite thing is those spring toys and they are EVERYWHERE. Between that and pong pong balls, I think Teddy has enough STUFF to last years.
