Crotchety Tortie Tuesday

June 27, 2017 By: Summer Samba45 Comments

tortoiseshell cat excited about package

Can you see how excited Binga is? She just got a package from her friend Phoebe from 15 and Meowing. I think she believes she is getting some treats. I know better.

It’s a red hat as part of Phoebe’s Crotchety Cougars group! The qualification is that you have to be a girl cat over 15. I think being crotchety helps, so Binga’s got a double in. I’m just wondering where her purple coat is.

I think she’s still wondering if she is getting any treats.

At least she decided to wear the hat. I will not tell you how many photos she ruined first.

Binga is bummed she can’t get away with lying about her age when she is wearing the hat.

The package for Binga contained a couple of other cool things too. I got a yarmulke, because I admired one I saw on the 15 and Meowing blog. I was wondering if it is okay to wear it, since I’m a girl kitty… and found out it is perfectly okay!

Phoebe also included a fish toy for Boodie. She was too shy to come out for the photo shoot (either that, or she was napping), but don’t worry, she’ll get it as soon as she shows up!

Thank you to Phoebe and the 15 and Meowing human for the nice gifts!

    Mum is silly she loves Binga, and thought the one of her in the hat, lounging on the steps would be the purrfect tshirt!!

    That was so nice of Miss Ellen & Phoebe to send those gifts to you! You ladies are stylin’! I bet Bear Cat (of Momma Kat and Bear Cat) would finds Binga a hottie in that red hat, as I know how much he loves Tortie ladies! Maybe Boodie will want a photo moment with fishy after she plays with it a bit.

    Such sweet gifts! We love the idea of the Crotchety Cougars group. Mudpie is hoping it’s still around when she’s old enough in…um…11 years or so! (She and Summer can join together!) The animal print colors match your tortie colors perfectly too, Binga!

    Poor Binga! She was expecting all kinds of nummy goodness and she got a hat!! Even if it IS a spectacular hat! Last weekend, I went to a local adoption event and there was a kitten that looks EXACTLY like Binga! Okay, okay … not EXACTLY … but Snickers was pretty close (the light brown patch on her front paw was a little bigger and her belly was all black – without that lighter patch Binga has). Between Binga and Mudpie and Amarula from Hairballs and Hissyfits – I’m completely smitten with torties (and because of Summer … Abyssinians and Somalis!!!).
