I know that St. Patrick’s Day is nearly a month off… and that’s why my human brought home a bunch of green props from the party store for me to try out. It usually takes a couple of tries to figure out what is going to work in these photo sessions, so it’s never too early to start! Like this shamrock choker, for example — that was definitely a No.
On the other hand, this big green bow was a Yes. It still needs some adjusting, though, because it is actually made for humans to wear.
It also looks good with this little hat. The hat (like my New Year’s Eve hat) was actually attached to a hair clip that my human had to carefully remove, and then she added elastic to so I could wear it.
There was a noise outside that sounded like a critter and I got totally distracted! My human wanted me to stay for more photos but I wanted to see what the noise was.
After that, the photo shoot was kind of ruined. That’s why my human does a practice session whenever possible, just in case I get bored or distracted before it’s over.
Lastly, my human showed me this leprechaun pen she bought with all the other stuff. She thought it might be a fun cat toy.
It punches, and its eyes light up. I had no interest in whapping back.
I left the toy with Binga, but I didn’t tell her what it does. Won’t she be surprised!

The bow is adorable on you Summer. Green is a very fetching color for sure.
We have a hard time doin that kinna stuff even once. You PRACTICE it? No wonder you are a professional supercatmodel!!!
We like the big bow and little hat combo! You look very sweet 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
P. S. Summer, you wouldn’t really want the leprechaun to punch Binga, now would you?!! ;p
Super cute props but I would love to have been surprised 🙁
Oh, I didn’t bring EVERYTHING out! 😉
We are green with envy in all your green photo props!
Mom says Binga rocked the photo shoot; though, she wasn’t really included. We liked you best in just the bowtie. Very classic. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Hehehe. I can see that with wearing green the leprechaun has rubbed a little mischief off on you. But who can blame you for a little, what with all the photo bombing… purrs Erin
Beautiful!
I wish my mum thought more in advance about our blog posts. We’re always running late. Better tell her to get her act together!

I am an avid photographer myself, and love kitty photography the most! I just had to share what my cat (Yuna) and rat (Coheed) did this morning, even though it might be off topic! I had let Coheed out to run around on the couch, and Yuna was being her lazy self just soaking up the sunshine in the window. I (very stupidly) set a bowl of cereal on the arm of the couch for a split second to go get a cup of coffee. I come back, and Coheed had spilled the bowl of cheerios and was just nibbling away, while Yuna was lapping up the milk! It was so funny I couldn’t be mad! It’s cute how they work together to cause chaos, but you gotta love them!
Your bow is cute, but it seems a little large for a petite girl. Nice color though. I like the little hat–but I’m glad it isn’t on me. The color would look good on black furs though, huh?Hmmmm.
Oh poor Binga! Summer, the green looks good with your eyes but we think you need something more feminine since you’re such a pretty girl.
you look great with the green accessories, Summer! you have a most pawsome crabilated face 😀 pens are one of our fav’rite cat toys. Maybe your human needs to write with the leprechaun pen and you’ll find it more interesting…that always works for us…

Poor Binga. Pop always said he was gonna bring one of those punching things home from a Yankees game and hit me when I bit him. Anyhoo, there are at least 2-3 winners in that shoot.
Summer! And here I thought Binga was the imp!
Ya look all ready for St. Paddy’s Day!
You are just what I needed today Summer. Thank you for the smiles
Hi Summer
Thanks so much for the purrs for our Buddy Budd. It is greatly appreciated
Now about that bow. Beautiful on you and the hat goes well! MOL Binga sure will be surprised and we better get going with our green too

Green is a good color on you! How did Binga like the toy?
The bow does look much better than the shamrock, Summer. If that leprechaun punches Binga, she will probably punch it back.
I love your facial expressions when you’re wearing the hat!!! Totally love the Binga shot!!
Summer you look ADORABLES!!!!!! Love the hat and the bow tie……you look simply MAH-VEL-OUS! Can’t wait to see Binga’s black eye from that pen (yuck yuck).
Love, Sammy
we love your green bow tie
and we suspect that pen doesn’t stand a chance against Binga 🙂
You do look totally terrific in green pretty Summer!
Oooooh risky there Summer. I don’t think there would be much left of him after Binga is finished!!
You do look nice in the hat nd the bowtie though. We thought you looked nice in profile as well, getting a shot like that can’t be easy and we loved it!
Oh goodness, we are going to have to get some greenery for our Two Two. That is hysterical about the pen. Love the pictures of you looking miffed Summer.
Very stylish, Summer. We are looking forward to another photo on St Patrick’s Day.
Purrs … Rainbow
Did you let Binga try on the shamrock choker too?
You look good in green, Summer. We love your jaunty hat.
Looking so dashing in that get up!
you look great (although not too happy) in green.
Green is a good color for you. We are constantly amazed at how cooperative and patient you are.
I like all the photos, you look good in everything especially the hat. Poor Binga, I hope the Leprechaun didn’t punch her.
The hat is our favourite, Summer. That bow could be a little smaller to look perfect on you.
Purrs,
The Chans
We love you in green bow tie and green top hat.
BTW, about the cat show in SJ, do you compete both days? Please advise. We want to see and meet you and your human.
You look very pretty and intelligent, Summer!
You DO have beautiful Irish green eyes!
“She has green eyes.” Beautiful green eyes!
We think you liked just the bow tie best. Your expression changed completely when Mom put the hat on. MOL!
I believe you made it clear that you were done with that photo shoot. And Binga will likely whap that pen into the middle of next year
Aww shame on you, Summer, for playing that joke on Binga!!! I bet she plans a BIG photo bomb for you if that little guy punches her in the nose! LOL
Yeah, he’s not so much, I think.
Purrz!

Oh Summer, you are so extra cute in your green accessories! It is the purrrrfect color on you. Good job with the photo shoot, even if you did get distracted at the end.
Green suits you very well, Summer, and you look so cute with you hat ! Did the leprechaun dare to punch Binga ? Purrs
You look adorable.
What fabulous photos – and you are definitely rockin’ the hat and bowtie!
Summer I am Irish green with envy. Green is for sure you color and you wear that hat with such style.
I love your leprechaun too
Hugs madi your bfff
Summer, mew are gorgeous in green! Mew saw our selfies on Sunday, so we give mew top, top marks fur being such a fabulous model!!! MOL Purrs Basil xox
Oh Summer, you are sneaky. Wait till Binga finds out what the little green man does, MOL. You sure look very pretty in that color of green. We like the bow and little hat. Luv the pics and photoshoot. Very cute. Purrs
Green is a good color for you! We’re laffin’ at the pen…that’s the kind of thing OUR Mom would do!
The Florida Furkids
Another costume ? Fortunately for my cats, nobody celebrates St. Patrick’s here ! I like you with the bow and hat that looks so cute ! Hard work to be a model and I bet you don’t earn as much as Naomi Campbell, which is not right at all !
You’re very organised for St. Patrick’s Day Summer.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You look lovely in green. Will the pen bop Binga?!?
Gee, you do a lot of work to get those nice pics Summer 🙂
If that toy bops Binga, we predict the toy will meet a toothy end!
