Caturday Flashback With Binga, Boodie, and Sparkle

August 24, 2019 By: Summer Samba32 Comments

tortoiseshell cat on MacBook pro

Here’s a real Caturday flashback for you — all the way back to November 2008! That’s even before my mother was born! But I thought you’d enjoy seeing Binga, Boodie, and Sparkle, especially since these are sort of quirky photos. Above is Binga, who had a longtime romance with my human’s MacBook Pros. Every winter, she decided they made a good cat bed. At some point after I came here, she stopped doing this. I don’t know why.

Ragdoll cat with Cat Writers Conference swag

This was the first year my human went to the Cat Writers Conference, and when she brought home a suitcase full of cat swag, there was excitement all around! Boodie has always been the quiet cat who mostly hangs in the background, but even she was entranced by everything.

Among the treats and toys was something called a Pawbreaker, which was basically a solid ball of catnip! My human didn’t even open the package before Boodie had taken it over.

Sparkle, meanwhile, had commandeered a guitar case. When my human’s ex was living here, there was always an open guitar case lying around — and a cat to lie around inside it.

This is actually one of my human’s favorite photos of Sparkle. The meerkat mojo was strong with her!

I hope you enjoyed this flashback!

    We love seeing flashbacks, especially since we didn’t know Sparkle. Boodie looks so cute! (I think we caught up on commenting!)

    Oh this was awesome! I really do hope MK and I will see more of Boodie soon.

    And Binga looks like she has a very fluffy tail in that pic.

    I luv all those photos! Like Binga, I too enjoy lounging on a “Mac Book.” Dad doesn’t like it when I do that, ’cause he’s afraid I’ll mess up the computer. He doesn’t realize that I am optimizing it for best purrformance. Tee hee hee. Winks.

    Gorgeous pic of Binga! Great to see Boodie and lovely Sparkle again too. I have some shmouse-shaped Pawbreakers and I don’t look at them. I wonder if Aunt Pauline was at that CWA too. She has a couple of Muse medallions. She wants to sponsor TW who sez she doesn’t pay to play. Besides it would be more disappointment that she wouldn’t win anything.

    Such lovely and cute photos. Any open case is fair game to felines. And Boodie sure made us laugh. She’s a sassy playful girl at heart while Queen Binga commandeers the social media following. Sparkle definitely ruled the house. Love em all! Purrs

    This sure was a wonderful flashback with Binga, Boodie and Sparkle, but I gotta say- as always I’m pretty partial to Binga!
