Why Binga Didn’t Help With the Wrapping

December 17, 2015 By: Summer Samba47 Comments

I’m really surprised that in all the comments for yesterday’s post, nobody asked the one question that, to me, was obvious: why wasn’t Binga helping? So I’m providing the answer today.

Somali cat, tortoiseshell cat, cats and boxes, cat christmas, gift wrapping

cat photo bomb, Somali cat, tortoiseshell cat

Somali cat, cat Christmas dress, tortoiseshell cat, cat gift wrapping

cat photo bomb, tortoiseshell cat, Somali cat, Christmas present wrapping

Somali cat, cat in dress, cat photo bomb, tortoiseshell cat

These photos were taken over a period of, oh, about three minutes, after which my human and I realized that if anything was going to get done, Binga needed to go hang out in another part of the house. So for the rest of the wrapping, she was gone.

Except… this is the card that accompanied the presents.

    Um…Binga…she was making sure they were the correct gifts and wrappings we think. We love helping meowmy too…though we do not understand why she gets all flustered, MOL!!

    Mom loves the photo off Binga front and center. She has a darling tortie-face and gorgeous eyes. We did not get to help with any wrapping anymore as no paper remains untorn and ribbon unchewed. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    I LOVE Binga! She cracks me up. I love that she just jumps right in there…regardless of whether she is supposed to or not.

    It’s a cat’s job to inspect and supervise. Binga was doing the hard stuff.

    It figures Binga was locked up.
    Boxes and paper are way too much fun to ignore 😉
    Good think she got her fun early. MOL!

    Binga didn’t have to help with the wrapping – her picture is on the card. That’s what’s important! You go Binga!!!
