My Fun 2017 in Review

December 30, 2017 By: Summer Samba30 Comments

Wow! It’s been quite an exciting year for me! And if you are reading this, I got to share many of my adventures with you. Let’s look at some of the things I did:

somali cat in sweater at pet store

I went to Vancouver, B.C. in February! I had been there before the previous December, so this was my second trip out of the country. My human and I wanted to go back again, but it wasn’t in our travel budget. I hope we can return in 2018.

somali cat as pet me cat at Pomona cat show

I officially became a Pet Me Cat for CFA, and I went to a lot of shows! The photo you see above is from a cat show in Pomona. I traveled to some shows outside of California, including a show at Purina Farms over the summer, and at the CFA International show in Portland, OR — that show was huge!

therapy cat in volunteer room

I did a lot of therapy cat visits! The organization my human and I belong to want the teams to do a minimum of three visits a month, but often we did more. I went to hospitals, grade schools, colleges, and even a fundraiser held by a doggy day care! Out of all of them, I think this particular visit was my favorite.

I got to visit the Sleepypod offices! They were only about 10 or 15 minutes away from us, so my human arranged a visit. I’d like to go more places like that. It’s fun!

somali cat with Cat World Domination Day spread

Of course, I hosted Cat World Domination Day! I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do for Cat World Domination Day 2018… but I’m sure it will be awesome!

tortoiseshell cat wearing costume butterfly wings

Binga spent a lot of time being silly. I’m still not sure what she was thinking with the butterfly getup. She also got to be a Crotchety Cougar.

Boodie spent a lot of time getting groomed.

And I modeled more outfits than I could count! Take this photo session and multiply it by, like, twenty!

I tried to make new friends where ever I went… but I wasn’t always successful. Katy here did not seem to like me much.

And who could forget La Suegra?

And of course, I met Santa Claws!
