Caturday Mish-Mash

June 1, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat40 Comments

I had something else planned for my blog post today, but the photos didn’t turn out. So I had to think fast… and I realized that a lot of times, photos didn’t turn out. You have no idea how often this happens. Here are a few examples from just this past month.

Don't look at me - I didn't come up with this idea!

You know how some humans like to take photos of their food and post them on Facebook and Instagram? My human thought it would be funny to take that idea and transfer it to cat food. She forgot one of the cardinal rules of satire: it has to be something worth satirizing to begin with.

Actually neither of us really wanted the box

My human left this box sitting around for days, hoping that one of us would do something fun with it. The only thing that happened is that I got mad because Boodie looked at it. There weren’t even smacky paws because let’s face it, the box wasn’t worth it.

Shadow FAIL

Do you like those cool, shadowy photos my human likes to take of me? Well, this set didn’t work out.

We all hated it

When my human was at LitFest Pasadena, she brought home this snake toy and she wanted us cats to pose with it. None of us wanted to pose with it! Can you tell how annoyed Binga was? Hint: you can’t see her tail because it is nothing but a blur.

I don't do flirty

My human wanted to get a cute photos of me playing peek-a-boo with that silly paper drink thing she brought back from BlogPaws. As you can tell, I wasn’t into it.

Do you notice a running theme here? Every last idea began with “my human thought…”

    Well, see theres the problem. You are assuming that Beins “think”, when they are really quite scatter-brained and emotional.

    The sad thing is that my Human’s pictures often come out like these but she thinks they look fine and uses them anyway. Go figure.
    We think that first idea has a lot of potential, but we think the presentation needs work. At least there should be a doily under that can.

    That shadow fail pic looks like your human channeled mine’s photography abilities. Humans are dim-witted, aren’t they.

    We also have many times when we are just “not into it”. However, we do like bloopers and photo bombs, as long as it’s not us!

    MEWHAHAHA! Awwwww Sparkle dear, mew have my sympathies once again when it comes to mewz human. I loved reading mewz interview on Peace, Love, & Whiskers and how mewz human had a plan to write a blog before mew adopted her, but when starting it mew had to take over and instruct her how to do things. I especially like how mew have trained her to know that if she wants to do any kind of personal project she must get mewz permission first. I need mewz help teaching me mewz technique for this, as my human seems to have the notion she can simply go off and do her own thing without seeing to my needs first. At least mewz human tries to do what mew tell her, even if it doesn’t turn out that great. I say allow her a treat or two for effort, mew don’t want her to become disgruntled and secretly plot with Binga to start a coup to overthrow mew as top cat/Queen of the house. I love and respect Binga being a friend ans fellow tortie ladycat, but knowing mew I doubt mew would want to have to answer and be a subordinate to Binga! MOL!!

    I am glad my publicist leaves me alone for the most part. She only bothers me for photos when she is feeding me something and that generally works out to my benefit.

    Whenever our mom says, “I’ve been thinking,” or “I have an idea,” Dad knows that he’s in for trouble. That sounds like whats happening at your house. Unfortunately, you can’t see into her brain when she gets her crazy ideas as we are sure she’s not telling you in advance. Good luck!

    Mum always goes through the photos and deletes any she doesn’t want before she saves them – we’ll try and distract her in future so we can have some whoopsie pictures too. The last one made us smile most because that flower thing in front of your face looked like those big old fashioned microphones that were used a squillion years ago.
