Timid Tortie Tuesday?

February 18, 2014 By: Sparkle Cat52 Comments

Usually she just jumps right up whether my human wants her or not

Why is Binga sitting by the edge of the sofa, looking worried instead of jumping on top of my human?

Hint - it is furry

Here is a clue in the bottom right hand corner. Can you see?

Binga knows what the Back of Disrespect means!

That’s right — I am already there and I am in no mood for tortie shenanigans!

This is my human's POV

Not that that stopped her for long.

There's only room for ONE kitty on this human!

I think it’s time to see if smacky paws speak louder than stink eyes! I hope my human wasn’t planning on a nap.

    Don’t underestimate a tortie too much Sparkle, Ms. Phoebe was able to give the stink eye AND engage in smacky paws with her brother Kaspars! I know Binga is always photobombing you though, so lap bombing your human is probably just too much of tortie shenanigans for you to take. Maybe there’s enough of your human for both of you? Even if it puts her in a position where she cannot move, see, or breathe too well, nevermind that she will be okay.

    My mum loves how you both look on those pics. Adorable faces, she says 🙂

    Luckily her lap only belongs to me.

    Oh how I love being an only cat!

    Smacky paws and a good neck bite usually work for us; though, we are not suggesting this ’cause we think Binga is just too, too cute. Stink-eye only works on humans in our experience. Purrs and paw-pats, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    It does my heart good to see Binga showing you some respect. Oh, and Sparkle? I saw that XXOO on my Valentine from you today and swooned a little. I mean, I know you’re not a romantic kind of girl, but you must like me a little bit, right? A boy can dream, can’t he?

    aw, what a sweet look on Binga’s face 🙂 your look, on the other paw, Sparkle, is deadly 😀 That sure is a familiar scene, though. Our Minnie has no qualms when it comes to rousting Smidgen off of our mom.

    Smacky paws trump the stink eye every time.
    That doesn’t mean you can’t combine the two for even more impact.
