Flashback Friday Fail

August 9, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat48 Comments

This is my tragic look

I had a handful of half-finished posts, but nothing finished for today so I thought it would be fun to do a random Flashback Friday post. So I went to my Photo Library, which is arranged by month and year, shut my eyes and just randomly picked a folder. It turned out to be May, 2007. So I eagerly opened up the folder to see what I was doing…

No kitty wants to see this in her living room

My human made an unfortunate purchase, and here I am, checking it out.

This was even worse than the vacuum cleaner

I had to go to the vet.

I know this thing is still hiding somewhere

Worst of all, my human was hanging out with some artsy friend of hers, who gave her a hat… for me to wear!

I'm embarrassed to say she looked better in it than I did.

The only good part of the month was that Binga had to wear the hat too.

I could have really done without reliving that month! If you want to see all of it, feel free to read my vintage post. As for me, I am not gonna look.

    OK, Lady Sparkle, I know it’s really Sunday as I read this, yet Friday is when I realize how blessed Me and my family with the support from you and everybody of my Uncle MaxMaxx locked up in the slammer —er—hospital–but, uh..2007–the vacuum cleaner? And a hat? Well, you do look rather striking, but your eyes do say it all..Hope you didn’t purr for awhile.

    Ummm….wow, and we thought it was bad when our human found a Yellow Submarine and Carrot suit, at least they were costumes-that hat is more of an everyday type of thing. You should still wear it-vintage is in now!

    The hat is very stylish, but Binga looks really ticked off at having to wear it. We, however, enjoyed these vintage photos. Thanks for sharing. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Lisbeth, Astrid and Calista Jo
