Binga FURmination Day

April 14, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat23 Comments

My human put it off for a few days, but finally she had to buckle down and FURminate Binga. As you may recall from last week’s post, the goal is to create a creature from the FURmination, and the deadline is Friday, April 15. Leave it to my human to wait until the last minute.

My human woke Binga from a sound sleep. Not sure if this was a good idea.

To keep the fur from flying all over the house (and to confine Binga to one room), the FURmination happened on the should-be-catio. Of course, my human had to wait while Binga wandered all over, exploring everything and admiring the pawsome view.

The view is VERY California, isn't it?

She wound up getting a lot of fur from Binga! Even the dog was amazed.

We were lucky the dog did not eat it!

I am always surprised that Binga’s undercoat is so much lighter than the fur we actually see — I remember this from last time. But I hear this is common among tortoiseshell cats.

It also makes me sneeze a little. Maybe I am allergic.

So what did my human wind up making out of all this fur? You will just have to wait until National Hairball Awareness Day — April 29 — to find out!

Personally, I think this contest is a little wacky!

    Wow, that’s cool,if we had a blog,we would partisipate becase Snowball sheds ALOT!! We can’t even see the floor with all of his fur and we don’t even own a furminator! Our humans won’t let us make a blog. Not even for our birthdays or Christmouse! So once we make a blog, (cause we will eventually! 😉 ) then we will partisapate! 🙂

    That’s a lot of fur from Binga! My furs are light like that too which always confuses my mommy. Can’t wait to see what your human did with those Tortie furs!

    […] you recall, a couple of weeks ago, my human FURminated Binga and she was expected to make some sort of “creature” from the resulting pile of fur. […]
