Since I had two therapy cat visits in the past week, it reminded me of the routine that went on every time I returned. As soon as we get back, my human gives me a couple of treats for a job well done. When Binga was around, the routine also involved her. No matter where she was or what she had been doing, she always showed up to get some treats too. Even though she hadn’t done any work.
Like literally, she could have been sound asleep, but the moment I came home, there she was.
In fact, she always tried to get to the treats first! My human tried to make sure I got the treats I had earned, but sometimes it was pretty difficult.
You know what, though? I kind of miss having her here when I get back from therapy cat visits.

Beautiful Binga <3
Tortie treats <3
Sassy sweet Binga <3
Summer, Binga was the best friend you could have had. She deserved the lime light and those treats just for being herself. Such a beautiful Torti girl.
Well Summer, you are a sweet gentlle kitty. Binga was a feisty Tortie. She meant no harm. It’s just her nature. I miss her too
So cute!!
Our sweet Binga <3
I miss her too
Binga just wanted to be with you Summer.
It’s funny hope the ones that aggravate us the most are the ones we miss when they are gone!

Beautiful Binga
Aww, you really do miss her!
We miss Binga too! Summer, that expression on your face in the last pic cracked MK up!
Nutmeg says to say that Binga was only doing what The Official Tortie Manual said!
Purrz…..

Sending hugs and purrs as you remember Angel Binga.
I miss seeing Binga. I think she earned treats cos she had to be home alone, so to speak, for HOURS while you and your human was gone. Did she burn down the house? No. She was a good cat.

Thank you so much for sharing those photos and your memories. I know you miss her.
I miss her so much. Really.
I can understand. Who wouldn’t miss that. 🙂
Oh, beautiful Summer, we LOVE the flashbacks of gorgeous Binga greeting you, your Mom and those yummy treats!!…She was a precious girl and we miss her too…We are all still grieving deeply from our loss of Mommy Cat and Calle 3 months ago and understand how special and bittersweet those memories can feel, all at once…Sending loud purrs and big hugs to you both and lovely Boodie in memory of your adorable photobomber!…XO…J, Halle,Sukki
We miss her too……….but not nearly as much as you do.
Hugs, Teddy
Awww, Summer, we can only imagine how much you miss Binga. We miss seeing her on the blog, too. (This brought a tear to our mom’s eye.) But don’t forget, Binga will live forever in your heart.
I bet Binga missed you while you were away and came to greet you 🙂 Very cute flashback. XO
Binga had to wait for her friends to get back. You must miss her very much.
love from Sasha and Lynette
aww, Summer. thank you for sharing this memory of Binga. we love the pictures. we can imagine you and your human missing her
pip, minnie, hollie, sharpie, ditto, TL
Carly Simon sang a song called “The Carter Family” that ended with “and then I found I missed her/ More than I ever guessed.”
We miss Binga and still miss our tortie Minka, who’s been gone for years.
I’ve been wondering how you’ve been feeling since she’s been gone. I’m sure you miss her more than you ever thought possible 🙁
Binga held down the fort while you went to work didn’t she? MOL! We miss her too. You take good care of your Mom Summer, humans take a while to recover from a loss.
actually Binga was SUPER smart….don’t do the work but reap the benefits just by having chutzpah and being adorable. Sweet girl, we miss her too 🙁
We really love that first photo of Binga. We miss her too and we bet that she was a lot of fun in spite of being a treat hog. Like our Rumpy Bump
We miss her too….
Of course you miss her. We all do.
We are sure you do miss her, Summer. But Binga is now very busy imparting wisdom to our Sei-Chan who always needed to learn how to be more confident!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji
Aww… sweet Binga. We miss her too.
Sparkle I know what you mean about routine….Binga was (secretly) your cheering squad ready to celebrate with you.
Hugs Cecilia
Binga was one in a million. We sure do miss her, too, and love when you share these flashbacks. XO
MOL it sounds like Tuiren, she knows that when Mom feeds us cats the dogs have to go out so the minute she hears Mom calling us in, Tui runs to where Mom keeps the treats. (sigh) and Mom says that no matter if we are outside or sound asleep inside the moment we get a package FOR US with nip in it we all show up and totally ruin the photo shoot by stealing the toys (that were meant for US) off the table.
It was nice seeing a picture of Binga and hearing how she waited for YOU and the treats after your therapy visits. ((Hugs))
Yes…Binga was in charge.
Good to see Binga. Bet you miss her Summer.
A kitty with such a purrsonality like Binga had is sure to be missed.
We miss her too.
Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ
What a happy memory of Binga. <3
Yes sweet Summer, that change in routine is very difficult.
Thank you, you started out mom’s day with a smile, laugh, and sentimental liquid eyes. Memories are beautiful. We miss Binga too. We miss her crazy tortie shenanigans. Purrs
Aww sweet Binga.
We miss her, too.
Binga was a tortie, she casts a long shadow. Her vibrant personality is very much missed.
I miss her too 🙁
I miss sweet Binga so
