If you recall, last week, my human found this paper with a bunch of Post-It Notes attached to it, and it turned out they were long lost blog post ideas from Sparkle. There were so many that I only shared half of them in my original blog post. This week I share more lost blog post ideas with you! Sparkle’s mind was always working.
1. Weapons of slash destruction
It’s pretty clear that Sparkle was referring to our finely honed claws here. What’s really mystifying is why my human randomly wrote down an appointment date on this Post-It Note. Plus a person’s name who she does not remember at all.
2. Cat Rule #275 — if there is a sunbeam on an unmade bed, said bed cannot be made until the sunbeam moves to another area of the room
At the time that Sparkle passed away, she was working on a book of her cat rules, so I imagine there are cat rules scribbled down in a variety of places. This one is a goodie, and I bet it would had made it into the book. I’d put together my own book of cat rules… but I don’t think I have as many as Sparkle did.
3. Towel of capitulation
I confess — I had no idea what this one meant! After doing a bit of research, I think it may have had something to do with this blog post.
4. Kitty Death Penalty, i.e., “You are dead to me now.”
There are certain kitties — and Sparkle was certainly one — that have a special talent for meting out the Kitty Death Penalty. And I gather my human often got this treatment from her too.
5. Looking for trouble/ being trouble
I get the feeling that Sparkle was going to write a post about the difference between looking for trouble and actually being trouble. I’m pretty sure Binga was the inspiration for that one.
See what I mean?
And now we have the last Post-It Note, and I think it was for a card for the Zazzle shop:
6. Stop and enjoy the sunbeams
It’s a sentiment that I think we all need to remember! I may take that one and make a card of it myself. The 150×150 part? I think that used to be the standard size for Facebook profile photos (it’s larger now).
I hope you enjoyed these long-lost notes from Sparkle!

Sparkle was always thinking of fun stuff for the blog……I guess we all try to do that but she was REALLY good at it!
Hugs, Teddy
Sparkle was very wise. We doubt that one was inspired by Binga though. Just sayin.
Sparkle was flat out brilliant! How exciting to see all of these great ideas of hers!
Hehehehehe. Binga. I think you’re right about her being the inspiration, Summer!
I think you should finish Sparkle’s book for her.
Those are great!!! And Mudpie says she’s one tortie who is *never* in trouble…she does look for it every now and then though!
She did have such great ideas.
Sparkle those were such good ideas. We sure do miss you and your ideas.
Oh my, the first picture, where your head is tilted, is super cute!!
We’d love to see that card! Maybe Binga could write a book of cat rules.
Summer,
Miss Sparkle was brilliant.

Sparkle had some great ideas!

Ohhhh # 2 is my favorite and I 100% agree. Mom is a bit of a stickler for bed making in the am.
However she will not ‘let’ Dad stay in it extra but IF I AM IN IT IT shall remain unmade
Hugs madi your bfff
Those are some great ideas. Anything involving sunbeams is good.
That girl had a unique personality! She was tart and sweet at the same time. Not A tart…tart in nature heheheh.
Those are most excellent ideas and we hope they will re-appear as blog posts before they are yet again lost!
Purrs,

We certainly think we should all stop and enjoy sunbeams MORE. Thanks for sharing these lost ideas Sparkle had, she was always coming up with something brilliant.
“Stop and enjoy the sunbeams” is a great idea! So is the “sunbeam on the bed” one. It’s been fun seeing Sparkle’s old blog post ideas. 🙂
Those were good and they are so Sparkle!
Such wisdom, we sure miss her. We are so happy so see that she is legendary and always will be. There’s a little “Sparkle” in each of us. Purrs
Cool ideas! I know that kitty death sentence.. Star used to met it out quite regularly. Perhaps she and Sparkle are sharing stories of it at the bridge.
Sparkle was such a smart girl!
