For this Throwback Thursday, I thought I’d go way back to an earlier, more innocent time: January 2016. It was a pretty busy month! I’ll show you a few highlights.
I have to say the year did not get off to a good start — this was the aftermath of the New Year’s Eve party I threw!
That was also the month that Binga started going outside on a leash, at the age of 15-1/2. As you can see, I was not thrilled about this! Eventually my human only took out one of us at a time, since she had a hard time managing us both.
We got this mechanical cheese and mouse toy to try out that January. As you can see, I was more interested in a pipe cleaner than I was with the toy. I think the toy eventually got donated to a cat rescue.
I was still competing in cat shows. I did well in this one, which happened in mid-January! This was actually my last full season of competition.
And of course, I was traveling and having fun in hotel rooms, relaxing and supervising my human.
My only regret from that January? I never did finish my driving lessons!
I hope you enjoyed my look back! What kind of memories would you like to see the most from me? Let me know in the comments.

I love seeing the throwback pictures with you and your sisters. I’d love to see more of those!
I didn’t know you had started driving lessons way back.
You would need a second cat to push the brake and gas.
Cute party aftermath – looked fun.
That must’ve been a wild New Years Eve party! I think you would be a very good driver. I think that January looked a lot better than this one so far 🙁
Great memories! I got to meet you and Chilly, that January, in Portland!
You looked so young back in 2016. But that was a fun look back and was nice to see Boodie & Binga. Are you going to finish your driving lessons?
We always really enjoy looking back!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
That was a fun look back sweet Summer, we enjoyed each of those photos!
Did you party as hard for the 2021 New Year’s as you did for 2016, Summer?
No, it was pretty low key here! I didn’t have anybody to party with, other than my human.
Us Meezer Angels always loved those pipe cleaners, esp the ones that *she* made into springs!
We love the driving photo so much. Enjoyed this flashback/throwback post. Nice to see Binga and Boodie too.
Terrific flashback! Such wonderful memories of Binga and Boodie. We are all pipe cleaner fans here too! Have a marvellously Happy Day!
Sweet Binga & those beautiful green eyes!!:-)
Miss seeing Boodie, too..
Have a fun day, Summer & hooman mom!

Great flashback. I got my cats that cheese toy for Christmas and they definitely prefer pipe cleaners too. 🙂
I love seeing what you three were doing! I miss your sisters too.
Fun memories. Always nice to see Boodie and Binga.
