The Holiday eCard FAIL

December 17, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat31 Comments

Before my human found the ornament at CVS that she Photoshopped into an eCard for me, she came up with a couple of wacky ideas that were never meant to be — mainly because they involved our cooperation. Which, if we thought the idea was stupid enough, quickly became non-cooperation. One day, she pulled out an old holiday wreath, dusted it off, threw away the pieces that came off when she dusted it, and told me I was supposed to sit in the middle of it. I don’t think you need the audio to know what I told her.

"Not on your life!" is the polite translation.

So while my human was messing around with the camera’s exposure and shutter speed, you-know-who showed up and tried to steal my thunder. I was not pleased.

First she steals my dinner, then she steals my thunder. The nerve!

I put my paw down and said no. If Binga wants her own eCard, she can get her own eLife.

There is nothing about this image that says Sparkle. Sorry!

    After all, it is your blog, Sparkle. Good thing you told your human about Binga. But maybe Binga should have some kind of blog-time. Abigail-goat has a day to blog on Pricilla the spokes-goat’s blog?
    Just a thought.
    Purrs,

    “Sit where told?” Are they kidding? We don’t “sit where told” when we LIKE where we are sitting. The camera comes out an we are GONE!

    Sparkle, those do look like very norty words coming our of your mouth but good girl to keep that Mom straight. What was she thinking to make you get in the middle of an OLD wreath with parts missing. We adore that picture. But that silly Binga sure grabbed up an opportunity. You look good in the middle of the wreath. Hope all you have a fantastic week end.

    May Ling says “Binga, you GO, girl!”. Must be a tortie thing.

    Sparkle, can you write down exactly what you said? In case our Mommy ever asks us to sit in a wreath with parts missing, that is.
