Katdid Konversation with Peanut

Welcome to another exciting episode of Katdid Konversations!

I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Today, we are chatting with the fun and fashionable Peanut, a two-year-old Sphynx, who recently moved to Edmonton from Vancouver!

KM: I am so excited to chat with you, Peanut! Welcome to Katdid Konversations!

P: Thanks so much for having me, Kitty! It is lovely to finally meet you!

KM: Let’s start from the beginning. Can you share with us about how you came to find your human?

P: Mom says that I was the result of a series of fortunate events, whatever that means. My humans were at a time in their life where they needed me and *poof* there I was!  

KM: Wow! Talk about great timing! What an amazing turn of events! What does your daily life look like?

P: Honestly, my day is pretty average for a cat, lots of eating, sleeping, and zoomies. One thing that sets my life apart would be that I have outfit changes every morning. It’s funny because my outfit dictates my mood for the day. A onesie makes me calm; a neck tube makes me feel tough, a crop top gives me confidence, and being naked makes me goofy!

KM: Anyone who follows your IG @littlefellapeanut, know how fashionable you are with your extensive closet collection! I really enjoy seeing all those different outfits! Do you have a favourite food?

P: Meowgurts!! That’s what we call Churu tubes!

KM: Oh yum! Those are delicious! We are obsessed with them too! If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

P: I will always choose whichever toy Ollie is currently playing with.

KM: Ha! Ha! You are a typical sibling! LOL! Speaking of siblings, tell us a little bit about your relationship with yours.

P: My big brother Ollie is 11 years older than me. I am a bully to him, we both agree it is not nice, but I can’t help myself, he is really fun to chase. He is the kindest and gentlest old man; it is really tough being his bully.

KM: I totally understand the feeling. I have a big brother whom I love to bother too! But we all know bullying is not nice and we should be kinder to our siblings! Peanut, do you have any special skills?

P: Yup, anything a dog can do, I can do better. I am great on my leash and playing fetch across the house. I can even steal trash from the can and drink from the toilet. I’ve also been known to growl and bark, especially when playing.

KM: Wow! So many skills! What a talented kitty you are! What do you like to do for fun?

P: I used to love having outdoor meetups with my Vancouver cat friend group, but nowadays I have resorted to playing dangly toys inside while the flurries fly outside. I’m hoping to get outside this spring and summer and hang out with some of my new Edmonton cat pals!

KM: Yes! We can’t wait to hang out with you and all our other YEG pals once the weather is nicer! There are so many amazing parks we can chill out at! Speaking of friends, Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

P: I have nothing but love for Instagram and the friends I have made there. I was the first Sphynx in the family so my Mom made my Instagram account to show friends and family how I was doing. It grew into something SO much bigger. We have made lifelong connections with some really special people and cats all over the world and had the opportunity to try new and exciting things! Any negative experience we have had has turned into something positive in the end. Shout out to my Peanut Pals, always showing up to support me!

KM: It is always great to have a support group! We love our YEG adventure group pals which you are now part of!! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

P: I would wish for the real world to be as beautiful and kind as the #catsofinstagram world! It is possible to love and accept each other for who we are, with no conditions! If we are using the word “one” loosely, I would also wish for more wishes.

KM: You are too funny, Peanut! Such a comic! Is there something you would like to accomplish in the near future?

P: I  would like to go outside again! Go away winter!! As soon as the snow is gone, I am going shopping for a new scratching post!

KM: Fun! One can never have enough scratching posts! Before we end, what is one message you would like to share with the world?

P: You matter, and you deserve all the good things that life has to offer. If you need a friend to talk to, slide into my DMs! I may be goofy when I’m naked, but I am also a great listener.

KM: That is a great message, Peanut! We could all use more love and acceptance. Thank you so much for this wonderful chat, buddy! I hope to see you and Ollie in person soon!

Katdid Konversation with Sapphire

Hello! It’s me, Kitty Mojito! I am here with my new friend, Sapphire! Let’s chat!

KM: Hi Sapphire! Welcome to Katdid Konversations! I am very excited to have you here!

S: Hi Kitty Mojito! Thank you for inviting me to share my story!

KM: You have a beautiful name! Sapphire, tell us how you found your human?

S: Through Instagram! Our meowmy, Stephanie fell in love with us and adopted all three of us! Our little brother, Onyx crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022. Our meowmy, Stephanie crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2023! So my sister, Pearl and myself are hoping to find a new furrever family!

KM: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Onyx and your meowmy! I am sure you and Pearl miss them so much! It is so hard to lose the ones you love! Can you describe a day in your life now?

S: I used to live in a nice house in Sacramento. My meowmy, Stephanie loved the colour grey and a lot of the house matched my beautiful coat! Now, I live with JR, who is caring for us temporarily until we find our forever home. I spend most of my day, cozy in the big purple fleecy bed in my room and when the door is closed, I play with toys and sit on the desk chair! I especially like playing between 3-5am!

KM: It sounds like JR is taking great care of you! I am glad you have a safe place to stay! Playing at 3am is also my favourite! Let’s hear about your favourite food! What do you enjoy eating to keep up your strength?

S: I like kibbles and wet food! Yum!

KM: Oh yes! I love wet food too! Although, I must say, I do love my treats too! Do you have a favourite toy to play with?

S: I like automated toys! They are so much fun! Have you tried them, Kitty?

KM: Oh yes! My favourite is robo-fishes! I love to watch them swim in the tub! Do you have any special skills?

S: Like my sister, Pearl, I am very proficient in most office related tasks, but JR keeps removing all the perfectly distributed cat litter from her desk and keyboard!

KM: Ha ha! That is too funny! Our mama isn’t too thrilled about surprise litter on keyboards either! Sapphire, what do you like to do for fun?

S: I really like playing with feather teasers! I also like being brushed and it makes me purr!

KM: Being brushed is amazing, isn’t it? Now, I know you have a sister so tell us a little bit about your relationship with her.

S: My sister Pearl is my best friend although we don’t snuggle together much at JR’s house. We used to snuggle on the bed with our meowmy, Stephanie. We miss her so much!

KM: I am so sorry! I am sure your meowmy is looking out for you both every day from over the bridge! We hope that being on social media will help you both find a forever home soon! What do you like or don’t like about social media?

S: I love making new friends, both on Instagram and in person. I hope it can help bring some leads on finding a forever home. Anyone interested in adopting us can fill out the paperwork on @feralchange.

KM: I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and Pearl! Before we wrap up, what would you like to accomplish in the near future and what is your message to the world?

S: I would like to lose a few pounds! My message would be to Adopt! Don’t Shop! There are many beautiful and talented kitties out there so please adopt! Please share about Pearl and me and help us find a forever home together!

KM: Folks, please share about Pearl and Sapphire and help them find a wonderful place to call home! Sapphire, thank you so much for chatting with me today! I wish you the very best!

Katdid Konversation with Pearl

We are so excited to re-introduce our favourite segment ‘Katdid Konversations’ with a very special interview! I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Please give a warm welcome to Pearl from Oakland, California!

KM: Pearl, a very warm welcome to Katdid Konversations! Thank you for chatting with me today!

Pearl: Thank you so much for having me today! I am very excited to be the first guest at your relaunch!

KM: Great to have you here. Pearl, I understand that you are 4.5 years old and live in Oakland, California! Can you tell me a bit about your life and how you came to find your human?

Pearl: Of course! Our mother dropped me, my sister and brother, in front of someone’s parked car on Camellia Street in Oakland.  We were taken in as a shared responsibility by three neighbors (@jrc2011, @aofner and Beate). JR created our Instagram account and partnered with @feralchange. Our adopter, Stephanie, adopted all three of us. Sadly, Stephanie passed away last Christmas Eve at 41.  We are now seeking our new furrever home and staying with JR temporarily.

KM: Oh, that is so devastating to lose your human! I am so sorry! I am glad you are all safe with JR! After this terrible loss, how has your life changed?

Pearl: My life has changed a lot in the last two months.  My uncle Andrew took us from our Sacramento home to his house in Paso Robles and then back to Oakland. My sister and I have our own room but other cats keep coming in and looking at us or trying to take her food. One of them sniffed me while I was asleep the other day! So insulting!

KM: That does sound annoying. I am glad you are together with your siblings though! Do you have a favorite food?

Pearl: I like kibbles. I’m getting accustomed to the food that JR keeps feeding me but it’s not really my favorite. She just doesn’t know.

KM: Well, now that you shared about it, I am sure JR will feed your favourite foods! Let’s hope she is listening! What about toys? Is there something in particular that you love?

 Pearl: I like catnip toys. Right now, it just seems like any toy in my own home would be better.

KM: I hope that there is someone out there who can give you a forever home! It is always nice to be in a place of your own! Pearl, do you have any special skills?

Pearl: I am very proficient at most office related tasks, but JR will not let me use her computer!

KM: I tell you, the nerve of these humans! All we want to do is help them do their job right and they won’t even let us do that! What do you like to do for fun? 

Pearl: I like playing with feather teasers! 

KM: You talked about your siblings at the beginning of your chat! I understand that your little brother, Onyx crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022. I am so sorry to hear that. Tell me about your relationship with your sister.

Pearl: My sister, Sapphire is my best friend, but we don’t snuggle together much at JR’s house. I like the cat tree and Sapphire likes the fleecy bed under JR’s desk. We used to sit on the back of the sofa and look out the front window at the birds at our home in Sacramento. We like sitting in the sunlight.

KM: That sounds lovely! It is always nice to have a sibling who you like! I, for one, am not fond of my brother, Lynx! I will save that story for later! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

Pearl: We need more friends. We are very sad without our human!

KM: Oh Pearl, I hope that everyone who reads this will reach out to be friends with you and Sapphire! Better yet, hope they can find a forever home for you both together! I think I already know the answer to this but if you could make one wish, what would it be?

Pearl: I wish that Sapphire and I could find our furrever home! 

KM: I am sure the purrfect home is out there for you both and it will come your way soon! Before we end, what is one message you would like to share with the world?

Pearl: Adopt, don’t shop! Reach out to your local shelters and rescues and give a kitty a forever home! There are many beautiful and talented kitties like my sister and I who need your love!

KM: That is a great message! I hope that all the humans out there take that to heart! Pearl, thank you so much for taking time to chat with me today! I hope that you and Sapphire find a lovely forever home soon!

New Here? Get to Know Lynx

Lynx is a 16 year old Bengal who is the most sweetest and affectionate boi ever!

He was adopted in late 2019 through Paws in Need Rescue in Edmonton. He was 12 years old and had (and still has!) many medical issues! He was a medical foster in our home for a month before the pawrents fell in love with him and decided he will join our family!

Lynx loves to cuddle and adores tummy rubs and snuggles! He has the most amazing eyes that just captivate your soul and a gentle personality to match! He loves to sleep between the pawrents at night and also tries his best to be friends with his sister, Kitty Mojito, who is still not a fan, even after 4 years!

Did you know that Lynx cannot meow? He makes a raspy ‘ha-ha’ noise to communicate! When we adopted him, we were told that he was mauled by a dog which caused an injury to his vocal cords.

Lynxy can be quite adventurous at his old age of 16! He is a great traveler and does really well in in the car! He is also know to have fallen asleep on a boat and raft! As long as he has a comfortable place to snuggle into, he can chill anywhere!

We are so grateful to be able to love this sweet boi! He is the joy of our lives!

New Here? Get to know Kitty Mojito

Kitty Mojito is a 11 year old Domestic Shorthair who has been with us for 10 years! She was adopted in 2014 through Whisker Rescue at a Petsmart Adoption Centre. She was the only child until 2019 when Lynx joined the family. I think she is still upset about that!

Kitty Mojito is definitely a diva who has a unique personality. She can be really loving and cuddly or judge from afar, all depending on her mood! She is quite smart and learns new things really quickly. One of her favourite things to do is solve treat puzzles. She also know how to ring a bell for treats!

Her favourite treats include Catit Creamy, Inaba Churu tubes and Greenies Smart Bites.

Kitty Mojito is adventurous! She enjoys new environments and adjust to places fairly well, as long as she her pawrents with her. She also needs a litter box nearby and some comforts from home such as a blanket. One thing she doesn’t enjoy much is car rides. She is a nervous traveler therefore we keep her comfortable in the car by making sure she has access to the litter box and have a cozy bed to crawl into. Once, she gets over the initial nervousness, she usually enjoys her adventures!

We love our Kitty Mojito so much and she is the Queen of our home!

Happy New Year 2024 – Crazy Cat Lady Corner is back!

After a 4-year hiatus, it is time to kickstart Crazy Cat Lady Corner again!

What has everyone been up to in the past 4 years?

Let’s catch up on what has been going on!

Well, 2020 and 2021 were kind of a blur…. with the pandemic and all. We made it through with good health thank goodness!

Kitty Mojito and Lynx are doing well. The pawrents are busy with their work. We have been trying to spend a lot of quality time together. We took some epic road trips over the last two summers!

2022 saw us go on a 14 day road trip to Vancouver Island. Lots of hotel stays, beaches, forest and island fun was had! The kitties were invited to attend Meowfest that summer as panelists for Travel Cat!

The summer of 2023 was spent in Kelowna and Calgary where we met some old and new friends!

In the last few years, we have been living with much gratitude and didn’t take any time for granted. We hope to continue with this mindset going forward!

Having said that, we are now excited to share more about the kitties and all the other adventures we go on! If you are still following us, even after this 4 year break, we want to say a huge THANK YOU! We hope to be more present and engaging now that we are back! Don’t forget to check our Instagram @kittymojito for the latest updates! We are still very active there!

Happy New Year 2020!

Happy New Year everyone!

It is a brand new decade! 2020! OMG! Where has the time gone??

I am excited for the dawn of this new decade and I hope it bring us all good health, wealth and happiness all around….

2019 has been a roller-coaster of a year for us with joys and heartaches. I won’t go into detail however I want to say that I am grateful for everything that 2019 brought us. I think it is important to show gratitude to every experience and lesson that life brings us.

One of the highlights of the year is the addition of a new member to our fur family. Please welcome Lynx, a 12 year old Bengal that we adopted in November 2019. He was a medical foster we took in just before Thanksgiving but decided that we would be the perfect forever home for him. He has many medical issues yet we love him just the same. I will make a separate post on adopting senior cats in the near future. I hope to attempt to make more blog posts than I did last year!

For now, here’s wishing you all the very Happy 2020 and I hope you will continue to read this blog!

Summer Adventures 2019

In Canada, summer is precious. We wait all year for the few weeks of summer to come around and when it does, we cherish every minute of it.

Although my husband and I don’t go on any long trips during summer time, we take the time to enjoy many things that our city has to offer.

Edmonton is famous for festivals. The Taste of Edmonton and Heritage Days are two of our favourites. We love to eat so these two food festivals are our go-to every summer.

There is also the Folk Festival, Jazz Festival, Blues Festival and many, many more music festivals and outdoor activities.

We also love to include Kitty Mojito in our activities. This summer, we took her canoeing for the first time. She was a bit nervous at first but quickly got curious enough to leave her backpack.

We spent many hours on the lake, having lunch and enjoying the surroundings out on the water. Kitty explored the canoe, watched the ducks swim about and let the gentle waves rock her to sleep. We are very proud of our little girl as she was brave, curious and open to new experiences.

I think it is important to give your pet enrichment and excitement in a supervised manner. Many cat owners think that since cats are so independent, they can be left alone. But on the contrary, cats are social animals that require regular
attention and quality interaction. Take time to play with you cat daily and give them opportunities to use their natural hunting skills. We like to hide toys and treats around the house and Kitty Mojito will stalk and hunt them. We also take her out on the leash to many places cat safe places. This adventure taught us that Kitty is more open to trying new things than we thought!

If you follow Kitty on Instagram (@kittymojito), you will see all the places that she visits. She is still getting used to travelling by car however she has become more comfortable than before which is a step in the right direction.
