Ten Tortie Life Lessons From Binga

March 19, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat54 Comments

Do you want to be like Binga? Then follow her rules!

Binga thinks she knows how kitties can have a life of success and happiness — just like her! Personally, I do not buy this, but for your edification, here are her 10 Tortie Life Lessons. Make of them what you will.

(Ed. note: The opinions expressed by Binga do not necessarily reflect those of Sparkle. In fact, they mostly do not. Plus her language had to be cleaned up and heavily edited to fit the criteria of a family-friendly blog.)

1. Never ask for something — demand what is rightfully yours.

2. Denial is not an option!

3. If you are not immediately granted access to that which is rightfully yours, then steal it.

4. Never apologize for your actions.

5. For every restriction a human creates, there is always a workaround.

6. Know that all will be forgiven as long as you purr really, really loudly.

7. As a tortie, you are expected to be crazy, so behave accordingly; do not disappoint.

8. Always complain. Never explain.

9. If other cats get in your face, they are just jealous. So whap ’em.

10. Persistence is a virtue. When all else fails, a swift bite on the human’s nose will make your point.

    So sorry to hear of Bingas passing..She obviously had a great personality and tortitude! How lucky you and her had a long time together, but as any person who is in love with a cat, knows, it’s never a long enough time..When I loose one of my own babies, I always think, that there must be another out there, that needs me..

    Hmmm….well, I expect some of these actions would have negative reactions, but sometimes you just gotta roll with it. I like Binga’s “go-get’em” attitude!

    Happy New Year to all of you at Binga’s house!
