May has been uncommonly cool here in southern California, so the opportunities for us kitties to get outside have been few. Not because it’s all that cold for us. It’s my human who’s been whining about the weather. Usually she doesn’t take us out until late in the day because “the lighting is better.” And that’s when things get too cool for her. I wonder what she has against putting on a sweater in May? Anyhow, this week we are finally having more typical temperatures here, and my human took Binga out for an after dinner walk.
Binga hasn’t had many chances to get outside so far this year, and she is going to be 19 in August. So my human wants to give her as much leash time as possible this summer.
When cats get comfortable on leashes, they generally fall into two categories. One (by far the smaller group) will actually walk along with their human, and only stray a little bit. That’s the category I fall into. The other category, and the vast majority, just do whatever they want and expect their human to just follow. Guess which category Binga falls into?
I’m sure most of you guessed correctly! Binga wanted to explore some dark areas, but she was not allowed.
Eventually she decided she was done wandering.
She let my human know she wanted to go back inside.
In case you were wondering, I was waiting for them, just behind the front door.

We love seeing Binga on the leash! We can’t believe she’s going to be 19!
Binga, Binga I ❤️ You!! You look fantastic!!!! Does your human know your exact birthday? I’d like to know.

Nobody knows her exact birthday! She was picked up off the streets of downtown L.A. somewhere.
Torties ALWAYS have someplace to do!

I’m glad your little old lady kitty friend gets some spoiling, any kitty who makes it that far deserves it! I hope you got a little outdoors time too, Summer, for being so patient!
Hooray that Binga got to go outside on the leash! It’s finally starting to warm up here.
Binga, at 19 you should be able to do whatever you want (says Pip who is also 19 this year (September))
Our mom has to wear a sweatshirt when the temps are in the 70’s, mol! this weekend it will be triple digits for us 😛

Binga is a beautiful lady ! How nice that she could enjoy some outdoor time on leash ! Purrs
Glad Binga got some time outside. My momma’s kind of a cold weather wimp too – summer’s her favorite season by far.
I’m glad Binga gets some outside time.
Love Binga heaps, she is the best Tortie in the USA!!!
Don’t tell that to Mudpie!
Nutmeg says, “Hell YEAH torties go where they want!”
MK has decided that Binga and Nutmeg are twin sisters from different mothers. She’s even taken to calling Nutmeg “Little Binga” lately! MOL! Like Binga, Nutmeg has eyes you CANNOT not love.
DK LOVES Binga posts, too.
Purrz!

Of course Binga would be the kind of cat that does what she wants.
Binga looks great for her age. I am glad she is getting some outdoor time. I always enjoy seeing Binga – and you too , of course. XO
What a wonderful way to end our week, a Bingafest! Thanks, we needed it.
She definitely always looks like a woman on a mission! Would you believe it hasn’t hit 80 yet this year? I love it!
We agree, the lighting is good.
Hope you had fun Binga even if you did not get to go where you wanted 😉
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
That’s awesome that a 19 yr old is going out for a walk – go Binga!
Aw, darling Binga!
Binga has such colorful fur, Summer! Your momma got the lighting just right for these photos.
Hi Binga, nice to see you again and glad you had a nice walk!
Binga is my kind of cat. I’ll bet there were real shmousies and inneresting smells in that dark corner. BTW, wish Boodie a Happy Birthday for me.
mom loves using Binga as an example that cats of ANY age can learn to love a harness and be outside
Binga sure is a treasure, and no mistake — and looking awesome for her age, too. Something to aspire to, despite her propensity to photobomb folk.

Binga sure looks pretty and darn happy with her out n’ about!
Nineteen will be quite a milestone. I bet Binga will
have a nice birthday cake! She is doing very well
for a kitty that age.
Binga you look fabulous for your age. Keep up the “clean living” you are doing. We love you.
It’s great that Binga got some outside time. Allie says 19 is the new 10!

We agree – Miss Binga you look awesome for your age.
I am lucky and get to be an inside outside kitty and have a cat door and can go outside whenever I want. I do spend 98% of my time in the house though. This is normal for most kitties in NZ, as we don’t have any dangerous animals and most places we live in our quiet. I stick to our little back garden, and have never run away.
Exploring and sniffing outside are great fun, and we love that your mom makes time to take you guys outside.
Julie and Poppy Q
It’s always wonderful to see Binga. Mom misses our fursis Samantha dearly and this always makes her feel good to see Binga. Binga looks fabulous thanks to your mom and those strong tortie genes. We can’t believe it’s still cool over there. The pictures are so beautiful capturing Binga’s beauty marks. Purrs
Binga and Summer, Boodie as well look absolutely healthy and trim. Binga’s beautiful colors glow, yes, but her trim form is just amazing. Whatever you are doing regarding feeding, there are some of us, certainly me, who now wish they had done the same for their cats. Katie is too heavy.
Binga is a beautiful girl! We’ve had a very warm spring so our mommy has been outside with us.
Binga is beautiful! And brave! Beautiful, brave, and bold Binga! Maybe even boisterous?
ps – I mention you at the end of today’s post. I shared the awards we won and then mentioned you since your nomination was what I was most proud of. It’s nothing that I haven’t said before though 🙂
Wow, Binga looks great for 19. I think she has many more happy healthy years
