Binga at Work

January 10, 2014 By: Sparkle Cat43 Comments

She can't supervise on the desk because it is too messy

It is important for a kitty to get enough sleep, so during my 14–16 hours’ worth of dozing, Binga will often pick up the slack for me. Sometimes she supervises my human from on top of the new printer (that’s what came in this box). She is the only one who uses this area for supervision.

She knows SHE won't get any sleep there

She also supervises my human when she is taking a nap. That is a hard task for me because my human fidgets and moves around a lot and half the time I get sent flying. Binga is heavier and is able to use her weight to hold her down. But all this effort means she usually doesn’t get much rest herself.

That was supposed to be MY job!

Sometimes she takes liberties, like performing quality control on items that arrive in the mail. That is not part of her job description.

Yes, there were smacky paws

And she can take box inspections way too serioiusly!

She was not allowed to keep these

Now she is asking for a raise! I think that is pretty nervy of her, don’t you?

    Could you give her an old box to sit in or something – you know help to distract her?!

    I like Binga’s work ethic. I think I would rather have her work by me than the goofball jerky girl that never shows up. Even if Binga napped half the day, that would be more work completed than Jerky Girl does.

    We think that Binga deserve a small raise for all the invisible work she does while you’re sleeping Sparkle, and because she didn’t photobomb for a few days. Purrs

    We torties are often most attributed to our dominant, particular attitude, yet few know we are also pawesome workers. I respect mew as top cat in mewz home and work Sparkle, but I cannot help but suggest Binga may deserve some kind of raise. After all, she does take on a lot of the more tedious aspects of mewz work- especially supervising mewz human sleeping. A sleeping human who thrashes is dangerous work and even the stunt actors in Hollywood get special insurance on top of their pay, due to the danger they face in their job everyday. Perhaps looking at it not as a ‘raise’ but ‘insurance’ instead will allow mew and Binga to come to a compromise?! Simply a suggestion…

    If it all works out time-wise, perhaps your Human would like to meet ME? Surely you could not object to THAT, Sparkle! And if it’s any consolation, I surely would not allow touching ::shudder:: only viewing.

    Always so in love with Binga! That second photo of her is simply stunning! See Sparkle, she is a very big helper! Oh and I don’t want to forget to answer the font question your human left on our blog…the font I use is Museo. We really like that font family a lot!

    Well. Sparkle, Binga does look as though she is really into her work, so maybe she does deserve a little extra something?

    Hmmm Sparkle – seems like you need to rule with a little heavier paw around there. It’s fine that she snoopervises the printer, but that doesn’t qualify for a raise. You should be the one getting the raise because you do all the work with the blog!

    The fact that cats never hesitate to make their wishes clear proves that they are a superior species. At least that’s what Tommie and Mickey Mouser tell me…

    We always knew Binga worked hard but we didn’t know she worked that hard! She certainly deserves the raise! We’ve never even seen Ben Franklin before so clearly we’re WAY overdue for a raise!
