Here are some casual shots and candids of me you haven’t seen before — and I have a question at the end of of the post.
Here I am trying to take a nap in a hotel room, except my human wants a photo.
So you can understand why I wanted some privacy here. I thought I was hidden. Apparently I was wrong.
My human is terrible about leaving boxes around the house after deliveries — she is way too quick to get rid of them! Fortunately these sat around for a few days.
I took advantage of having them around. Tuesday is trash and recycling day, so I imagine they will vanish in a few hours.
Wasn’t it nice of my human’s boyfriend to fold up some of his clothes and put them them on the bathroom counter so I could sit on them?
Ha-ha, yes, that was a joke! I know he put them there for Binga.
Now for my question: What would you like me write about on the blog? And what are your favorite types of posts? I know you really enjoy my adventure posts lots, and Binga, but what other sort of things would you like me to write about? Over the next few weeks, I have some down time, where I won’t be traveling or going to cat shows. I will make some therapy visits, but I’m not always able to get photos. So I’d really like to know what you’d like me to cover while I’m mostly stuck at home. Let me know in the comments — the more suggestions, the better!

First off, we love the pop goes the cat photo. Wow, what a tough question: What do we want to see? Adorable photos of you, Binga and Boodie. We love your travels and cat shows but as that is not an option… We will need to think on this for a while and get back to you. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
We always love the posts when you, Binga and Boodie all participate. Of course, we enjoy when you go on adventures, like to the pet supply store (we kind of live vicariously through you)! 🙂
We appreciate the things you might be doing differently to us. Being a therapy cat, a show cat, a traveller (unlike many of us). We also appreciate it when you spotlight a cat or rescue in need – it shows us that not only are you a busy cat, you care for others too.
We like the mix of candid, and fun, and a dash of outside reporting and highlighting things that we should all take seriously.
You would love it here, Summer, there is most always a box or two deliberately left fur us until there comes a new one, MOL!
We loved seeing those ‘unposed’ pictures, makes us feel better knowing you are a ‘regular’ kitty too:) And yes we too would enjoy seeing lots more of your furblings, esp Boodie!
Please, more fashion. Summer really rocks those dresses. I like your trips outside on the leash, especially to the pet store.
I love today’s casual candid shots! It’s nice seeing you being natural, so cute. I love seeing your sisfurs too.
I would like to know what makes a cat a good candidate for a therapy cat. I took my cat to see a vet behaviorist and she said he is very interactive and food motivated and might make a good therapy cat. But I know there’s alot more to it – like baths and being gentle so maybe my cat would never consent.
We are pretty entertained by you (and Binga and Boodie) no matter what you write!
TW always throws boxes out right away too except when she’s too lazy to cut them up. I would like a tour of La Casa Summer as well as a review of the foods you like to eat.
We LOVE Summer but we would also LOVE to see more Binga and Boodie!!
We’re glad your human left the boxes our for awhile. They look pretty cool! We like your posts with Binga and Boodie. We also like to see you in your yard. You can always talk about your human’s boyfriend and how he interacts with all of you because we think it’s important to spread the word that real men love cats!
You’re always so busy it’s great to see you enjoying some “down time” as a regular kitty!
I’d like to see more of Binga and Boodie too. Love all your posts.
I love all of your posts Summer as you can easily tell from my visits here to see you. But I admit when Binga photobombs you and your comments on it…it just gets me and mom laughing. I would love to see more of Boodie too as well as Binga. But again, whatever you do is always great fun for me. I love your fashion days too. I LOVE your own comments in the photos!
how about a “day in the life” post?
our mom usually doesn’t even bring the boxes up the stairs….our recycling is in the garage under our condo so boxes get left by the door….sigh
We would like to know more about Binga and Boodie.
I always like seeing pictures of you doing regular cat stuff–napping, sitting on your People’s clothes, hanging with B&B, eating–what do you like to eat?–playing with toys, doing stuff you aren’t supposed to do. Do you like brushies? does Binga?
What do you think about when you’re bored?
We’ve just had some boxes delivered especially for me!
I’d like to see more of Binga and Boodie too 🙂

Your human has the most understanding boyfriend. Jan only leaves dirty clothes lying around for us to rest on. 🙂
Very pretty pictures, Beautiful Summer!
I love the first one, where you’re curled up! Very cute!
I also love the ones where you’re sitting up on the boyfriend’s clothes!
We also love reading posts featuring you, Binga and Boodie. We know those two are always keeping you on your toes!
Summer I recall you join the family just shortly before Sparkle passed. Maybe you could tell us about your first meeting with Sparkle, Binga and Bodie
Hugs madi your bfff
Just seeing your adorable face makes me happy. You already know Binga has a lot of fans, it would be nice to see Boodie too sometimes. I never tire of fashion shows either 🙂
More of Binga and Boodie would be goods… and how bout some photos of whens you waz a kitten getting into mischiefs?
Mom likes your fashionista, diva photos – maybe a fashion paw-rade?
Purrz and haz fun sharing whatever you decide
-Katie Kat.
Great photos! We especially like the temporarily forgotten boxes (our Mom gets rid of boxes too fast, too, in our opinion). We like everyone’s suggestions so far, plus we’d love to see some day-in-the-life or daily routine posts. Everyone’s got a routine and we’d like to know we’re not the only ones with one, and one that is currently under change to something different. Thanks for asking for ideas!
We loved to read how your human taught you new tricks, how she does it step by step, and how she leads you to the next level. Claire found it interesting but didn’t realize it could be so important for cats to learn new things until she heard the behaviorist vet talking about it during the last course session. We would love to read about your relationship with Boodie and Binga too, and know if you sometimes get into mischief. Purrs
Photos for me! And maybe more about smaller rescue operations across the country. You have readers from all over maybe some of them would like to know about rescues in their neck of the woods.
Our mom gets rid of boxes waaay too quickly too, Summer. We never get to play in them unless she wants to do a photo shoot. We like hearing about your every day life, Summer, with Binga and Boodie.
When you are not going anywhere but just staying home, what sort of things do you do around the house?
Do you hang out with your siblings? Do you have a favourite spot.
As senior cats, how are Binga and Boodie doing? Do they eat well or take meds?
Purrs Georgia and Julie,
Treasure and JJ
We would like to know your thoughts on Holistic medicine. Do you have any tips for humans on how to deal with difficult kitties? How do you feel about mood altering potions out on the market? And what are your thoughts on cat food, what do you girls eat? Kitten, adult, senior foods? Wow, didn’t mean to overwhelm you with all of our ideas. Thanks for asking Summer. We love waking up to you and the family every morning. Purrs
Cute photos! About your question, I’d love to read more about Binga and Boodie 🙂
We want to see/hear more about Boodie! We know she is a shy cat, so this will be a nice challenge for you! 🙂
Yep, every kitteh needs their proper rest. We definitely luff your adventure tales…. outtakes are always favs…. you could write some exposes on the secret lives of the other kittehs! We promise not to tell. 🙂
We like your fun with Binga and Boodie too, but then again we always like what you post!
We don’t see much of Boodie … or the relationship between Binga and Boodie. I was surprised to read that Boodie goes for Binga’s food … I would’ve thought it was the other way around. I really did enjoy these candids though!
All of the photos are nice, Summer, but that first one is just BEAUTIFUL!
Do you ever get up to any mischief, Summer? It would be fun to hear about that.
Purrs,
The Chans
We think you should have fun Summer and maybe tease Binga and Boodie.
You can write about life with Binga and Boodie…….
I would love to see more of Binga and Boodie.
