I'm In The:
2008 World's Coolest Dog and Cat Show!
Quick Bio:
-mixed breed-cat rescue

Coloration:
Black and White

Likes:
Love, his people, getting into trouble, lying on his back and getting his tummy rubbed, watching humans take showers, trying to escape to the great outdoors, waking the humans up at 3am for no reason, being held like a baby and rocked, his Catit fountain

Pet-Peeves:
Having his paws messed with, sleeping people

Favorite Toy:
pony tail holders or bottle tops (or anything my daughter is playing with). His baby (the black, furry mouse he carries everywhere). I find it in my daughter's bed every morning in the spot Binks was sleeping. Paper airplanes, soft frisbees!

Favorite Nap Spot:
Anywhere we are

Favorite Food:
Wellness Healthy Indulgence packets (Turkey & Duck flavor) and Orijen dry kibble

Skills:
He is the highest jumping kitty I've ever seen! He can also open drawers and cabinets. He is also skilled at loving and being loved. He can hear my eyes open from far away and be there to make sure I don't shut them again (like at 3 am).

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
When I got Binks, I already had two cats. One, Abbie, was nearly 17 and was starting to fail in health. The other was Matilda, an adolescent kitten who I had adopted from a cat rescue. My decision to adopt Matilda was based on her seemingly mellow personality; I didn't want her to pick on Abbie. Well, once she got into my home, she was very happy and no longer the mellow little kitty I had adopted. She needed a friend. I was not looking for a kitty the day I met Binks, though. I was shopping for Valentine's cards while my daughter was in preschool. I walked by a pet store that had a pet adoption center from a local cat rescue. There he was. A little black kitten with a white bow tie and white tummy. He was the last one out of his litter. He looked at me through the window, put his paw up and meowed. Our eyes met and I fell in love instantly. I went in, took him out of the cage and was given head butts, face kisses, rubs and the loudest purr. I adopted him right away, even though I knew my husband probably wouldn't be too happy about a new kitty (or the adoption fee!). He ended up being the sweetest kitty and fit in instantly with Matilda and Abbie. He was very sweet to Abbie. We soon discovered that she had lymphoma. I treated her with chemo for a year until she got bone cancer in the jaw. I think if it weren't for Binks' sweetness, I would still be too sad to function after losing my sweet Abbie. And my daugther treats him like a little brother. Oh, and Matilda loves him, too. They play and cuddle and act like siblings (they fight, too). Binks looks at me with the most loving look on his face. We connect in a very deep way. I feel we were meant to be together.

Bio:
Binks' mother was abandoned by her owners while she was pregnant. She gave birth to Binks and his litter mates in a cat rescue center. My Binks has never had to fend for himself, thank goodness. He's very trusting and tends to wake up in a new world every day. He's the goofiest kitty I've ever known. I used to think that he was a little "slow", but I think sweet and trusting are more adequate descriptions. He's smart enough to open drawers. Then again, he seeks out my four-year-old daughter as a playmate, so the jury is still out!

Names:
Binks was named "Brinx" by the cat rescue. My daughter wanted to name him "Sipsie" (she was three, what can I say), so I quickly came up with Binks in order to appease her. It stuck and it fits him well. Mostly, we call him Binky Boy or Binkies.

The Life and Times of a Confirmed Mama's Boy


America Elects First African American President

Thank you, America. You got it right! I am so thankful to witness history. I hope our country will begin to heal, both our oldest wounds and our newly inflicted ones. I go to sleep tonight a very proud kitty.


It's my birthday! I'm four today.

Mommy says she has a special something for me but I have to wait until later to get it. I can't stand the suspense. What is it?

Every year on my birthday, I get locked up for a couple of hours while our doorbell rings nonstop. I hear lots of kids laughing and lots of crinkly candy-wrapper noises. I love wrappers! Maybe this year I'll get to see what happens at the door. Mommy says it's safer for me in the bathroom so that I won't run outside on Howl-a-ween. OOOOhhhh.... Howl???? Maybe it's a dog holiday. Or a werewolf holiday. They howl, right? I guess I am safer in the bathroom.

Still... I'd love a candy wrapper. Just one.

Have a safe one everybody!!!!!
