Goodie Bag Blues

October 6, 2009 By: Sparkle Cat3 Comments

The humans went to this thing called the Lint Roller Party, which benefits the Los Angeles programs of the Best Friends Animal Society. They went a couple of years ago and I remembered the cool goodie bag they came home with.

I should have known something was up when my human walked through the door with this big picture.

I can't scratch it, sleep on it, play with it or eat it. It's useless!

She won it at the silent auction. It’s a limited edition print called “Table Manners” by artist Braldt Bralds. She thought it did a good job of capturing the “true essence of kitties” — in other words, the fact that, in human terms, we have no table manners.

I guess it's better than bringing home real cats

Of course, I didn’t care much about the picture — I live that scene every day. I wanted the goodie bag. So my human brought it out for me.

Hm. Smells interesting

I couldn’t wait to get inside it. But something was up.

Let's see... frisbee, Dentabone, Stew Stix...

It was all dog stuff! Ick!

Have you ever seen anything more tragic?

I kept looking and looking for cat goodies and couldn’t find any. If you take a peek in the background, you can see what Binga thought of the whole thing.

Binga had better be careful. I see some dog shampoo here

It was thoroughly disgusting. There was even a bird treat! Where was the cat stuff?

Maybe I can use this to set a bird trap

Finally I found something. A small bag of catnip. Binga and Boodie pounced on it immediately.

Not even a catnip MOUSE! How cheap! Didn't even wait for my human to open the bag

So out of the whole “goodie” bag, there were only a few things we wound up keeping. We had to hang onto the squeaky toy because Binga drooled on it. All the other stuff is getting donated, since the dog got her own goodie bag.

She mistook the squeaky toy for a giant catnip mouse

Between the scanty pickings and a bad catnip buzz, Binga was in a lousy mood. She was slapping everybody and creating scenes.

Repeat after me - I am powerless over catnip and my life has become unmanageable

Fortunately, the un-goodie bag contained a remedy.

Recommended for all homes with bossy, catnip-abusing torties

    Binga’s opinion was very appropriate in this case.

    They should have called that a crappie bag? Who would want dog stuff? Honestly!
