SHOW & TELL - FRIDAY FEAST
Kelli is hosting SHOW & TELL. If you wish to participate please go to her blog.
Today for "Show and Tell" I want to show you three pictures of my cat collection. I think I can go on for a while with that because I must have around 400 items by now !
These are two cats my son offered me for my birthday, he had bought them in Egypt. They are very heavy because the blue one is out of Lapislazuli and the other one in Malachite.
another gift from my son, cats carved in a piece of wood
and a very old metal box from 1890 which my neighbor offered me. She had got it from her Grandma.
Appetizer
What is your middle name? Would you change any of your names if you could? If so, what would you like to be called?
My middle name is short. Never thought about changing it. It only appears in my passport and is never used anyway.
Soup
If you were a fashion designer, which fabrics, colors, and styles would you probably use the most? No idea, I am glad I am not, I don't want to be killed like Versace !
Salad
What is your least favorite chore, and why?
I don't have favorite chores ! And anyway if a chore is coming up I would wait until it is not my favorite anymore.
Main Course
What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life?
Besides spiders nothing really frightens me and this problem is solved too, because when a spider dares to visit my house cat Pookie immediately takes care of it and it doesn't have a long life ! I only put her in the same room with the spider close the door and after some rumblings I open the door, the spider has disappeared and Pookie leaks her whiskers !
Dessert
Where are you sitting right now? Name 3 things you can see at this moment.
I am sitting on a chair, I see an unmade bed decorated with cat Rosie and my screen of course with this intellectual questions !

Your main course is funny. :) Thanks for giving me an idea on how to kil spiders. I hate crawling insects especially flying cockroaches! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL on your soup! Nice feast here:)My feast is up as well;-) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteNice post. Isn't it funny that 'spiders' seem to be a very popular main course?
ReplyDeleteMine's up as well, link is here.
Happy FF!
You always make me laugh! I want a pookie to catch all my spiders.
ReplyDeleteYou always answer the FF questions with such wit, so it's always a great read (Versace, haha)!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will admit, I use my laptop in my recliner! I'm just a lazy wanker, I guess... Truthfully, I have arthritis between my shoulder blades and cannot sit for long!
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas about "chores."
My husband does Pookie's killing for me...
When I was a kid I was terrified of spiders, like screaming when they dropped from the ceiling to in front of my face. They liked to bite me a lot. Thankfully, now I have gotten to where I just really really dislike them. When I have to crawl under my home in that tiny area where I know there are spiders I am very very uncomfortable and not happy. haha.
ReplyDeleteWhoof! Good feast Gattina. Tasty bits.
ReplyDeleteGreat feast - I would never be a fashion designer either. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteOh, BTW, I've tagged you. Don't worry if you don't have time to do it - I understand.
The Lapislazuli cat is gorgeous! they are all pretty items but I love that blue stone :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is your least favorite chore, and why? Something is wrong here, lol!
Happy Friday, I need to borrow Pookie one of these days!
Oops, I should learn how to read, I thought they were asking about a favorite chore :)
ReplyDeleteWe still don't know your middle name, Gattina. Come on, don't be shy. You see, by not telling you've only made me more curious...lol!
ReplyDeleteGattina!!! Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday...hubby and I were so busy I didn't find any time!

My cat Goku tried to get the last spider we saw. But we had to give it to my pet turtle Lenny. I'm with Mel - the flying cochroaches have really freaked me out.
