Tortie Toy Tuesday

September 6, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat48 Comments

More proof that Binga is insane — kitties are not meant to willingly pose with dumb plush toys. If humans try to make you do it, you are supposed to look properly affronted, like this:

You might recognize this photo from my second book... available on Amazon!

What does Binga do? She hangs out with them!

What is WRONG with her???

And I mean all of them!

She should be killing them, not napping with them!

This is just Not Right.

    Yes, Binga clearly needs some training. I try to practice my annoyed look every day.

    You certainly do have the affronted look down pat, Sparkle. Scarlett also likes to hang out with the toys: she makes a little nest out of them. Weird, eh?

    You both look great in those photos. Sparkle, you’d better be careful, Binga might just usurp your title of ‘supermodel’ with her willingness to pose with toys etc.

    But Sparkle, Binga looks to be relaxing and blending in. How could you deny her the enjoyment?

    No, Sparkle, it is not right. You look positively horrified in that picture, as you should. Really, forcing you to pose like that skates dangerously close to abuse!

    Sparkle it is a tortie thing as laying around with stuffies is irresitable as these toys have beads and strings to play with. Binga just wants to hang out where there are many play things.

    I have a frog-strangling amount of stuffed toys that I like when I get them, even pose with them to make everybody happy, but in the end…
    I love to sleep with them like Binga does…hehehe! Guess you thought I was gonna say something else!!

    Julie says..Tom, what am I going to do with you?

    Sorry, Sparkle!

      It is actually a SOMALI! Which is even rarer. It was from a McDonald’s giveaway a few years ago.

    Hmmm. She kind of looks like our new hairy slobbery sister Cinnamon. She collects all the toys in a pile (including MY toys) and then lays on top of them.

    Maybe Binga is trying to lull them into a false sense of security before she rips them apart. You might have noticed the annoyed look on MY face when TW made me pose with HHGutt.
