Friskies DIY Winner… and My Human’s Project

April 1, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat44 Comments

When we last left off, my human had done virtually nothing with the boxes set aside for a kitty condo. I am here to tell you that things did not get any better:

We are very disappointed in her!

So she thought maybe she should try something a little less ambitious — like this Irresistiball, involving the tube from a toilet paper roll. But first she used the tube to help pick the winner of the Friskies coupons from the DIY giveaway.

It's Binga butt-inski!

Binga demanded asked to help.

My human shook them up really good!

My human wrote down all the names on slips of paper, folded them up and put them in the tube.

Is the suspense killing you?

Then it was up to Binga to fish out the winner!

She never does anything right

But there was a snag — she fished out two, and she wouldn’t choose between them.

I'm always having to fix things around here

I had to take over and do it right!

Now, was that so hard?

So I picked… this one!

I did not peek at the names, honest

And the Fraidy Cats are the winners!

I have NO idea how Binga could have messed this up!

Concatulations to Pip, Minnie, Hollie…

Hi Smidgen!

And especially Smidgen, who posed with the toy, the Knotty Spider! My human will have the Friskies humans send you the coupons!

Just call her wrong-way Binga

Now that the giveaway is over, my human can make this Irresistiball. That is, if she can get the pieces away from Binga and assemble them.

You have to admit, this is sort of a letdown

Honestly? I would have preferred the kitty condo made out of boxes!

Binga got the treat... did you ever doubt?

At least Binga and Boodie enjoyed it. I think the treat hidden inside helped!

    Congrats to Fraidy Cat! I love your method of drawing a winner. Great idea – what could be nicer than to have a cat choose.

    Concats to the Fraidy Cats. I think that ball looks pretty lame-o, but it’s more than my Human bothered to do so who am I to criticize, eh?

    I’m not much of a box cat myself…but Waffles Too is certainly making up for it.
    My ultimate plan is to set a trap. heh, heh

    Congrats to The Fraidy Cats! BTW, we like that tube toy too. And we are waiting for a box fort too. TBT says we have to wait a month. Something about Grampa moving to a new house and then we can really clutter up the place without complaints.

    We think the condo sounds like more fun too, however a treat inside a toy would be yummy 😉
    Congrats to Fraidy cats 🙂 Binga may not have completed the pick, but she looked cute anyway ,heehee
    Will you get your condo Sparkle?

    I have to admit, that Binga sure looks cute after she pulled the names out. She has a sweet look on her face. 🙂 Maybe she meant to get you to decide….you know…so she didn’t have to??!

    y0W! Thanks Sparkle! we’re so excited to have been drawn! You know, one of the fun things about the irrestaball is that the pieces are as much fun as the ball itself! We do hope that eventually you’ll get your box castle 🙂

    Allie: If you want something done right, you simply MUST do it yourself, don’t you agree, Sparkle?
    Last time we had a drawing, Max and Faraday were as useless as Binga. Seriously.

    Congratulations to the Fraidy Cats!!

    Mother, oh MOTHER. One Irresisitiball, please.

    It’s no good us asking Mum to make that ball – all she ever says is “in a minute” – the minutes here can be very, very long!
