It has been a minute since we last chatted! We hope the last 7 months have been treating you well!
First, we want to thank you for still being here with us! We appreciate your love and support!
We are here with an update on Kitty Mojito and Lynx!
They are both doing well and have now entered their golden years! Kitty Mojito turned 13 this year and we celebrated by throwing a camper themed birthday in April! Lynx will be 18 in a couple of months and we hope to celebrate his milestone birthday in Jasper!
So what have we been up to in the last few months? At the start of 2025, we set a goal to be more intentional with our time this year. We have been working hard to keep that goal. We enjoy weekend fun and have been doing fun things with the kitties as much as we can.
There have been several highlights this year. We were a part of the Edmonton International Cat Festival. Lynx had his first Meet and Greet at the Edmonton Pet Expo. We were also invited to the first pitch throw at an Edmonton Riverhawks game! We also went on a mini getaway with the kitties to Sylvan Lake! Head over to our Instagram @kittymojito to check out photos!
We are so grateful for all the blessings in our life, especially our two wonderful kitties. As they get older, our time with them is short. We strive to create as many memories with them as possible. We are looking ahead to some summer fun and can’t wait to share them with you all!
Let us know how 2025 has been treating you so far! We would love to know what you have been up to!
It has been a minute hasn’t it? Let’s start off by saying Happy New Year 2025!
We wish you all a wonderful year filled with positivity, joy and happiness!
Kitty Mojito and Lynx are doing well! They had a great holiday season! We visited Canmore just before Christmas and got an opportunity to stay at the wonderful Coast Canmore Hotel! Christmas in the mountains is just magical,
This year is a milestone year for both kitties! Kitty Mojito will be turning 13 in April (birthday party planned!) and Lynx will be turning 18 in October!
We hope to take them out on more adventures when the weather gets warmer. Our winter has been quite brutal so far so they have been indoors for the most part.
This year, we want to make sure we make as many memories with the kitties as possible. As they get older, we don’t know how much time they have left with us. So, making everyday special and taking as many photos and videos while planning special getaways with them is our goal for 2025!
Let’s hear your goals for 2025! Let us know in the comments!
Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversation with me, your host, Kitty Mojito!
I am super excited to be welcoming two very special guests today!
Please say hello to Uno and Dos!
Uno (right) and Dos (left)
KM: Welcome to Katdid Konversations, Uno & Dos! I am so excited to chat with you both today!
U: Thanks for having us, Kitty Mojito! It is nice to see you again!
D: Yes, thank you so much for inviting us for this chat!
KM: Uno, it is nice to see you too! We haven’t had a chance to catch up since Edmonton International Cat Festival! That sure was fun, wasn’t it? (Uno nods in agreement and high paws Kitty!)
Guys, let’s start by telling us a little bit about yourself and how you came to find your human?
U: I am 11 years old and I am originally from Minnesota. I was about 2 years old and wandering around a dumpster when I heard a human meow at me. I was underweight and had bacteria in both my ears, so I meowed back and ran up to her. She took me to her apartment to find my “family,” but when she realized I had no microchip (and after no one responded to the “missing” posts she put online), her home became my FURever home!
D: I am almost 3 years old and from California. I was only a few weeks old when I was abandoned at a park. I was scared, so I followed an indoor/outdoor cat to their home, and then sat outside their human’s front door until they let me in. These humans didn’t have enough space to keep me, so they contacted Kat (who wanted a second cat). After a successful playdate with Uno (the cat she’s had for 8+ years), Kat officially adopted me and Uno accepted me as his long-lost brother.
KM: That is amazing. You both had rough starts to your lives but now have a wonderful, forever home! Can you describe a day in your life?
U: I usually start my day laying next to my human’s head and purring as loud as possible until she wakes up and gets me wet food. Since my human works from home, I usually spend the day sleeping next to her while she works. After she finishes her workday, she usually takes me out for a walk or on an adventure to meet other people and pets. In the evening, I split my time between taking naps and wrestling with Dos.
D: I start my day sleeping in until I see my human start her workday. Throughout her workday, I like to meow at her and attack her feet whenever she seems like she’s on an important call. After she finishes her workday, she takes me on an outdoor leashed walk. Then, I spend the rest of the evening playing and wrestling with my brother, Uno.
Dos
KM: Let’s talk about 2 very important things, food and toys! Now, do you each have a favourite food and toy?
U: I love wet food! As for toys, I prefer going on outdoor leashed walks and wrestling with Dos, but sometimes when I see Dos really get into a toy, I like to steal it from him and play with it.
D: I really enjoy dry food and yes, Uno does steal my toys once in a while! I LOVE STRING TOYS AND TOYS THAT MAKE A LOT OF NOISE. MY FAVORITE TIME TO PLAY WITH MY LOUD TOYS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN MY HUMAN IS TRYING TO SLEEP.
U: Calm down, boy! You are going make Kitty Mojito go deaf with all this yelling! Yes, we all know you LOVE your noisy toys! Geez!
KM: You boys are so funny! What do you both do for fun?
U: I like going on outdoor leashed walks. I love meeting new people and getting pets and attention. I also like wrestling with my younger brother and showing him who the boss is.
D: I love playing with toys, sitting on the patio and keeping an eye on the neighborhood, looking out windows and spying on the neighbors, and wrestling with my brother.
Uno
KM: Let’s talk about your sibling relationship. What is the dynamic like between the two of you?
U: For me, it feels like we knew each other in another life. We like each other. We usually sleep within a few feet of each other. We cuddle. We play wrestle. We love each other!
D: I think Uno is the best big brother ever! Even though he is older, he still plays with me! I love him so much!
KM: That is so sweet! What a lovely bond you have with each other! Now, we know you are social media superstars! How do you handle the fame? What do you like/don’t like about social media?
U & D: We like social media. You can use it to learn more about the world around you. You can use it to gather information and learn to become the best pet (or person) you can be & better serve the world around you. As for being superstars! LOL… the best thing about it is that we get to spend more time with our human because we get to make content together! ❤️
KM: Yes, social media can be amazing! If you both could make one wish, what would it be?
U & D: We would wish for all cats (and people) to always have good food and a safe place to call home.
Uno and Kat
KM: Is there anything you would like to accomplish in the near future?
U: We hope our content continues to entertain and encourage folks to be the best pet parents they can be.
KM: I think all your fans can agree that your content brings great joy! We love watching your videos! Finally, before we wrap things up, what is one message you would like to share with the world?
U & D: It doesn’t matter how many ears you have on your head, all that matters is the love you have in your heart ❤️
KM: Those are some wise words, my friends! Uno and Dos, it has been a pleasure talking to you both. You are both amazing and your mom, Kat is such a wonderful person too! Please give her my love!

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!
Do you have a question for Lynx? Let us know in the comments!
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!

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!
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.

If you follow my blog, you know how much I love cats!
Therefore, The Edmonton International Cat Festival is one of my favourite events to attend every year. It brings all cat lovers together and each year, they donate 100% of the proceeds to rescues. This year, they raised $31,000!!
I was very excited to take Kitty Mojito with me this year. We took an Uber to the Robbins Health Learning Centre. Although we got there early, the line up was already down the street! Can you spot us?

Kitty attracted a lot of attention in her Fat Cat backpack. We were photographed constantly and everyone wanted to pet her! She loved the attention. We also got many questions about the backpack and how to introduce a cat to it.
There were many amazing vendors! Check out some of the items they had for sale!

We were also lucky enough to meet Suki the Adventure Cat and Gary. Both are amazing, adventurous Albertan kitties who travel to wonderful places.
Suki is a world travelling Bengal kitty. Head over to www.instagram.com/sukiicat and marvel at the amazing photos on her feed.
We were also lucky to be featured on the CBC Edmonton Instagram stories as they were fascinated by Kitty in her Fat Cat Backpack!
Kitty and I spent over 5 hours at the YEG Cat Fest. We took a short lunch break while taking in all the sights and sounds. After a quick selfie, Kitty stretched out for a snooze while waiting for Daddy to pick her up.
I am extremely proud of how well Kitty handled the crowds and the bustling atmosphere. An important thing to keep in mind when taking your cats out to crowded events is to make sure your cat is microchipped or tattooed. Safety of your pet should be your number one priority.
Invest in a good carrier and a sturdy leash that will keep your pet safe and secure. Take a few snacks and fresh water for your pet. Find a quiet place to take a break and make sure you let your pet know that you are there to protect them. New places and sounds will scare them so give them lots of pets and love so they know you are there for them.
Have you every wanted to throw a birthday party for your cat (or dog or ferret or rabbit) and just didn’t know how to go about it? Well, you’ve come to the right place!
If you follow Kitty Mojito on social media (IG:@kittymojito), you know she likes to celebrate any chance she gets. This year, she celebrated her 7th birthday on the 1st of April. The theme was ‘magical unicorns’.
So what goes into making a pet birthday party a success? That’s an easy question.. Just like throwing human birthday parties, the first thing to do is pick a theme!
Not only will you save money this way (you will avoid buying random this and that), it also helps you stay organized and on budget.
Once you have a theme, now comes the fun part of shopping for décor. Unlike kids’ parties, when you are throwing a pet party, keep your décor in a designated area.
I set up a table and had all my unicorn décor there. This makes it so much easier to supervise because you don’t want the pet getting into any tinsel or eating any ribbon etc. (Disclaimer: Please use caution and common sense here. If your pet likes to eat everything on sight, maybe use prints and canvases as your décor as opposed to small ornaments etc. Pet safety should the your number one priority)
All my décor came from Facebook Marketplace. It cost me about $60 for it. I highly recommend buying used items. Not only it is good for your pocketbook but reusing is so much better for the environment.
What’s a party without birthday cake?
I made this super simple cake for Kitty. It is salmon, flour, egg and water.
Recipe:
Take a can of quality salmon.
Add it (with the salmon juice) to a bowl with 3 tbsp. of all-purpose flour.
Add 1 egg.
Mix it all together until it is a thick batter.
Grease a muffin pan and the fill each section.
Bake in a preheated 350C oven for about 20 mins. Let it cool.
Once it is cooled, take a wet treat that comes in tubes (we really like Tiki Stix or Churu treats) and spread it on top like icing.
Sprinkle with catnip.
It is ready to be served!
Also, don’t forget to have some treats for the humans! I kept it simple with the non alcoholic cocktails, vegetarian appetizers, fruit and cupcakes.
Kitty had a few friends come over to celebrate. To avoid a cat fight, I invited each guest at a different time slot (Kalea came over in the morning while Oscar came over in the afternoon). This ensured that they each had a great time and was not overwhelmed with many cats around at the same time. Each party guest went home with a goody bag!

Party is in full swing!
Finally, let’s talk about the party outfit! This lovely dress was gifted to Kitty by her friend Feona. I believe it was from Winners. The headband is actually a kids headband. I took out the plastic inside it and attached an elastic to fit her head. It took a few tries but it finally fit long enough for a few photos 🙂 Keep in mind that if your cat is not into wearing clothes, please don’t force it on them. Kitty is quite used to it so will cooperate but not all cats will like it!
It was a great party. We got lots of compliments on the décor! Kitty was thrilled with the gifts she got. She got toys, treats and gift cards to go shopping! We are very blessed to have people who love her enough to make time to come for her party 🙂 She was quite exhausted by the end of the day.
