Binga the Red-Faced Reindeer

August 3, 2016 By: Summer Samba53 Comments

somali cat in reindeer antlers is photobombed by tortoiseshell cat

As I promised you yesterday, here is how Binga wound up becoming an unwilling participant in my holiday wardrobe photo test shoot.

It was either time to adjust those reindeer antlers or take them off altogether…

Or just put them on Binga!

Here I am, trying to give her some suggestions about how to carry herself with the antlers on.

I get the feeling these antlers could be dangerous!

Maybe I should thank her for photobombing this shoot.

    So funny! Maybe that should be what happens to photobombing kitties. They have to wear a costume and earn their treats.

    The beautiful Miss Binga seems a little grumpy in those antlers, Summer!

    Hahaha! That is too cute. I guess that is what you get when you photobomb a Christmas photo shoot, Binga! On the upside, both of you are completely adorable. My kitties would never let me put antlers on them.

    We love the first photo of the antlers on the side of your head, Summer. Binga, maybe that will teach you not to photobomb. We don’t think so really!

    Maybe you should give Binga the opportunity to be Miss December. She’s awfully cute as a reindeer and doesn’t seem to have any trouble keeping those antlers on her head. Our mom is laughing and so are we. She’s just too darn adorable! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    We think Binga’s head is bigger than yours Summer. That’s why the antlers look great on her. Just watch out that she doesn’t gore someone! Purrs. Love the photos! Calendar worthy.

    Oh Summer, forgive me but I had to giggle at those first two photos – you look like you are valiantly trying to stay still while those antlers slip off and make a clean getaway! But they didn’t, did they – they would up on Binga’s head where they look more suited (or should they be devils horns and not antlers????) !!!!!

    Hugs, Sammy

    […] Same thing with anything my human tried to make her wear. Maybe she has gotten a little more mellow with age about that. My human found those antlers a year ago — surprisingly intact — and was able to get a couple of halfway decent shots with her wearing them. […]
