Happy Sunday everypawdy!

Welcome to another great edition of Katdid Konversations!

I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Today I am chatting with Tazz, an 8 year old handsome hunk from Baton, North Carolina

KM: Thanks so much for joining me today Tazz. First, I would like to welcome you to the COI family! It is so exciting that you have now found your forever home! So let’s talk about how you came to find your human?  

T: My previous person asked Meowmee to take care of me while she recovered from an accident. Then she decided I was happier with Meowmee and let me stay.

Hi everypawdy! Welcome back to Katdid Konversations! 

I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

After a week off to rest, I am back with a great guest!

Please say hello to Jude from Sturgeon, Missouri… a gentleman of many talents!

KM: Thank you so much for joining me today Jude! Let’s start by learning a bit about how you came to find your human?

J: My hudad rescued me on a rainy Saturday in July. I was living in a old U-haul trailer with my siblings and cat mom, fairly close to my pawents property. Hudad had one of my nieces on the fourwheeler with him. They saw me out in the rain, picked me up, saw that I was sick and took me to what is now, home. They bathed and fed me, then took me to the vet later that week. They say that I was pretty pathetic. Eyes matted with green drainage, shivering, dirty, sick and very hungry.

KM: Oh my! I am so glad they found you when they did! Now that you have found your forever home, describe a day in your life.

J: My fun begins at 3.00 – 3.30am. This is when Misha and I chase each other around the house, down the hallway to the humans’ room and across their beds! At times, even on their heads! After we get bored, Misha usually goes back to sleep in the bedroom closet while I continue to play. I play with my bouncy tail ball or another small ball. I bat it around on my humans’ bed because they enjoy tossing it off the bed and then I retrieve it! My hudad’s alarm goes off at 6.30am. This is my signal to go snuggle with him until he gets up. Then I wait in the bathroom sink while he showers. I help him shave and entertain him while he gets dressed. He gives us treats before he heads off to work. When meowmy wakes up, the fun starts all over. She takes me out on an early walk. It will be a long walk at our favourite park or a short walk on our property. After we return home, I take a break and nap for a few hours. We play several times a day. When hudad gets home, we play with him while meowmy cooks. It’s treat time before the humans go to bed. All four of us play before they sleep. Misha gets comfy on hudad’s pillow while I get comfy on meowmy’s legs. Lights out!

KM: What do you REALLY think of your humans?

J: They’re great! Best servants ever. However, if I had to point out their flaws, they would be:

* Meowmy needs to pay more attention to my social life. Lately she’s been preoccupied by minis, causing me to miss out on pawties and other fun stuff.

* Not enough outdoor time.

Other than that, it’s all good

KM: Oh I’m sure your meowmy will take note of those things. We have to keep them on their toes constantly don’t we? If not, nothing will get done!! What is your most favourite kind of food?

J: YOGURT! I absolutely love plain, low fat Greek yogurt. I get a little everyday when meowmy makes her smoothies.

KM: You know something… I have never tried this ‘yooogurt’ you speak of. I must tell Mama to buy some immediately.  If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

J: BOUNCYTAILS!

KM: Excellent choice! Thanks to you and your meowmy, I got to play with bouncy tails too!! It is sooo much fun! Now you are known to be quite a stylish dude. How would you describe your sense of style?

J: Hmm… Hip and casual. I dig my shades, a nice bowtie or a cool bandana when I’m out and about hiking.

KM: Oh yes! You sure look cool in those accessories you wear! What are your thoughts on dogs and other animals?

J: Dogs hmm, well, I’ve been around a couple and they were completely opposite of each other. One was hyper and the other didn’t even care that I was around – pretty nice.  I liked her.

I would say every species has a unique quality about them. Different in appearances, thoughts and personality but all have a need to be loved.

KM: That’s deep dude… You are an old soul trapped in a young body! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

J: PEACE!

KM: Do you have any special skills?

J: I am a great alarm clock.  I can catch, fetch, bat a ball back to my human and have a need to protect my home by securing the purrimeters of our property. That’s a must!  I enjoy protecting my family and furfriends.

KM: Ah yes! You do take that role very seriously. It is why you hold that super important position in the DerpCabnet! What do you value most in life?

J: Family and friends

KM: You are so sweet Jude! Ok….Considering the political climate today, how do you feel about more cats getting into politics and making the world kinder?

J: I think it’s great! We need more of it. This world would be a better place if we all got together to spread peace, love and tolerance.

KM: That’s a great message! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

J: I love meeting cats from all across the globe and enjoy sharing a tiny part of their life. I think its great to get to know one another and support each other. On the negative side, it’s time. I’d love to have more time to spend on it because I really dig my furfriends.

KM: Do you have a special someone in your life?

J: My special someone is a very sweet cat named Forrest (IG:@forrestkitten). I enjoy going out with her when we can❤

KM: How adorable! Forrest is a cutie! If you were to go on a date, what would a perfect day/night look like?

J: Probably a nice walk/ hike. A picnic in a beautiful meadow, then star gaze and chase lightening bugs. It may not be fancy but it’s quality time and that’s what makes it great.

KM: You are a romantic! I bet Forrest will enjoy that very much! What would you like to accomplish in the near future?

J: Become the best SSA for Mr. Derpurrez and…well…let’s just say that I have some things in the works in the very near future.

KM: Ooh I am looking forward to seeing the new projects you have going on!! Do you have anything else you would like to say?

J: I’d like to thank all my furfriends for always being so incredibly ameowzing! They always say the nicest things and I appreciate them all and sincerely care about each of them.

KM: Thank you so much for hanging out with me today, Jude! It’s always so much fun chilling with good furriends! 🙂

Welcome to another wonderful edition of Katdid Konversations!

I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Today we are chatting with two lovely ladies from the beautiful city of Tenerife, Canary Islands.

Please say hello to Pelusa (3) and Melon (2)!

KM: Ladies, it is so lovely to meet you! How was your flight from Spain? Good I hope! So let’s start with your history. How did you come to find your human?

Pelusa: My humans saw an ad that said that there were some kitties that needed to be adopted. They had recently lost our other sister Picota, who sadly we never met, so they decided to get another cat because a home without a cat is just a house.

Melon: My humans were looking for a sister for Pelusa so that she would have someone to play and fight with. They saw me in an online ad and they were captivated by me.

KM: Wonderful! Now what is a day in your life like? What do you both do?

P & M: We love to wake our humans up early, to let them know we’re hungry and that it’s time for breakfast. If they don’t wake up, we’ll start meowing and jumping on them until they do! We loooove it, it’s lots of fun! Everypawdy should try it. After breakfast, we chill in our teepee and take a nap until we’re hungry again. And in general that’s pretty much what we do. We eat, sleep, and play. It’s a pretty tough life.

Pelusa: I’m a very active cat, so I love to climb things whenever I can. My favourite place to climb is the wardrobe because I can spy on the people on the street. I also like to climb on the shower, because I’m fascinated by it, although I don’t like to get wet.

Melon: I’m more chill than Pelusa and I looove to cuddle with humom and take long naps. I don’t get why Pelusa likes climbing when there’s no food on the wardrobe or the shower. I guess she’s a little wild.

KM: That sounds so relaxing!  What do you REALLY think of your human?

P & M: Mmmm….. I cannot say too many bad things, because they’re the ones who feed us but I guess they’re alright. They have us on a diet now because the vet says that Melon is overweight. That’s so rude! The vet should look herself in the mirror before saying those things. We don’t love our eating schedule, but other than that we’re really spoiled cats. We’re living the good life.

KM: That is true. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you 🙂 Speaking of feeding, what is your most favourite kind of food?

P & M: We’re obsessed with tuna, wet food and pates. Every time we see our humans with a can of wet food, we go crazy.

KM: If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

Pelusa: One of those feathery toys with the long stick. Every time the humans show it to me, I get so excited.

Melon: A paper roll. It doesn’t matter what my humans buy me, I’ll always play with paper rolls.

KM: Hmm, both very good choices. The paper roll is always so much fun isn’t it? How would you describe your sense of style?

P & M: Mmmm….. we don’t love wearing anything, because we don’t need accessories to look gorgeous, although Meowmy sometimes makes us wear bow-ties.

KM: You guys! You must try out some outfits! I’m sure you both will look just fabulous! I will get my Mama to send you some bandanas! What are your thoughts on dogs and other animals?

P & M: We’re indoor cats, so we haven’t really met many animals besides our humans, but we’re usually scared of the animals we don’t know.

KM: If you could make one wish, what would it be?

P & M: To have an open tuna bar. Eating tuna 24/7….. we’re thinking about it and our mouths are watering.

KM: Wouldn’t that be just fantastic? Wow! Imagine…. unlimited tuna….. OK, OK, let’s not get sidetracked. Do you guys have any special skills?

Melon: I just learnt to sit but I just do it for the treats. Other than that, I guess being super cute and getting away with anything.

Pelusa: I can jump up to places that you would think are impossible.  I’m also super cute so I get away with anything too.

KM: Being super cute sure must have its perks! What do you value most in life?

Melon: Food, Pelusa and cuddles with my humans.

Pelusa: The coffee maker. I love marking it, although I let the humans use it in the morning. I guess Melon and my humans too, but after the coffee maker of course.

KM: A coffee maker? Pelusa, that is …ummmmm….interesting. Considering the political climate today, how do you feel about more cats getting into politics and making the world kinder?

P & M: We believe that the world should be ruled by cats so that nothing bad would ever happen again. We love that cats are getting into politics, because as we see it, we’re the future.

KM: We definitely are the future! I hope everyone out there got that message! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

P & M: One thing we’re impressed with is the kindness, love and support there is in the Instagram Cat Community. When Meowmy made our profile, she wasn’t sure what to expect and it has completely exceeded her expectations.

We’ve made so many furriends in the last few months and we’re so grateful for each and every one of them. Without Instagram, we would have never met so many wonderful kitties.

KM: Yes, the COI community is definitely the best! Do you have a special someone in your life? 

Pelusa: Right now, I’m taking some ‘me’ time and focusing on myself.

Melon: Not really, although there’s a kitty named Bach who looks like me, and I think he has a thing for me, but we’ll see where things take us.

KM: Melon, a secret crush?? Oooh! How romantic! If you were to go on a date, what would that perfect day/night look like?

P & M: If you’re with the right person, it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re together.

KM: Awww. that is such a sweet sentiment. You guys are just so adorable! What would you like to accomplish in the near future?

P & M: We’d love to rule the world as we said earlier, but for now, we’ll start by ruling our home.

KM: Do you have anything else you would like to say?

P & M: First thank you for this lovely interview Mojito! We’re so glad to have met you and we look forward to getting to know each other more. Also, excuse our English, because as you can see it’s not our first language. Lots of kisses.

KM: Pelusa and Melon, thank you so much for this wonderful chat! I’m so happy to have made some wonderful new furriends as you! Looking forward to getting to know you both too! And by the way, your English is perfect!

Welcome  to another great edition of Katdid Konversations dear friends!

I am your host Kitty Mojito!

Today I am in the company of the beautiful and talented Stella, an almost 4 year old from Cobourg, Ontario, Canada!

Stella in a “Crazy Cat Lady Corner’ bandana

KM: Stella, I am thrilled that you are joining me today! Shall we start by talking about how you came to find your human?

S: Humom was looking into breeds with dog-like characteristics as Hudad has only had doggos in his life. Hudad always enjoyed watching videos of Maru. So when the time was right, they got me!

KM: Can you describe a day in your life?

S: I jump on the bed bright and early to wake up Hudad! I will lounge on him until he gets up. I eat my breakfast and watch the morning bird activity at the feeders. When Meowmy wakes up, I greet her and immediately expect to be let outside on my catio. Usually I have to wait for her to make her coffee and wake up a bit. Depending on her schedule, we sit outside on the catio for some time together. If she has to work, we play inside with my favorite feather wand toy before she gets ready.

During the day, I nap in my igloo until the humans come home. I eat my  dinner promptly at 6.30pm! When Meowmy is cooking, I can be found watching her in the kitchen, begging for food. At night, I chill out with my pawrents while they watch TV, Netflix or play video games. When it’s time for bed, I am always called up to join them but I decline. But several minutes later, I sing them the song of my people, trying to get one of them (usually Meowmy) to pay some attention to me one last time.

KM: Your day sounds a lot like mine! I love to sing the song of our people too! It’s a great song!! LOL! So when your pawrents return home from a very long day of running errands, how do you greet them?

S: Whereever I have been napping, I always hear my pawrents’ cars. When they open the door, they can find me sitting directly in front of it waiting for them! I will hang around them and give them head butts and purrs.

KM: That’s a very sweet welcome! Stella, what kind of food do you like?

S: I love my BFF brand wet food by Weruva! There are so many different flavor combinations. My personal 2 favs are tuna & pumpkin and tuna & shrimp. For dry food, pawrents feed me Hills Science Diet Oral Care.

For human food, I LOVE shrimp and tuna fish from the can! I also like vanilla yogurt and cream cheese. On the very rare time Hudad gets KFC, I go crazy and beg for some of it!

KM: Oh wow, I love BFF too! And KFC! Have you tried the ‘Cats in the kitchen’ line from Weruva? It’s great! ‘Lamb Burgini’ is one of my favs! You must try it! What is your favourite toy?

S: I love my Karin SF kicker and feather wand toy. But there is one toy that forever has my heart. When my pawrents picked me up, I had this little blue ball with me. I always play with it! I also carry it around the house with me and leave it by the door when the pawrents go to work.

KM: Aww, how adorable! Now I know you have a pretty fabulous wardrobe. How would you describe your sense of style?

S: I am always oh so stylish in my Crazy Cat Lady Corner bandanas, Neemie Bows, Cat in Berlin and Furry and Fancy bowties and bandanas. I love floral prints and sparkles! To Meowmy’s dismay, I am not a fan of hats or wearing clothes.

KM: I think my mama will be very happy to hear that you love Crazy Cat Lady Corner bandanas! You sure wear them very well! What are your thoughts on dogs and other animals?

S: I am an only child kind of cat! I am curious about other cats and dogs in our neighborhood but I get quite nervous when they get close.

KM: If you could make one wish, what would it be?

S: For there to be more pet friendly women shelters. Not wanting to leave behind pets and not being able to take them along can be a major reason for not leaving an unsafe and abusive situation.

KM: For sure! That is something that every city needs. Do you have any special skills?

S: Hunting/catching/eating flies.

KM: Very impressive. The only time I see flies is if I’m sitting out on the patio at night! What things are most important to you?

S: I love quality time with my pawrents. Meowmy’s new job doesn’t give her a lot of hours at the moment so having more quality time and company at home during the week days is wonderful. Yes, I would normally just spend my time napping while they work but having a human around more often to play, pet me, let me out on the catio and chill out with me is the best!

KM: How do you feel about cats in politics? Do you think we need fair representation in office?

S: Well,  Meowmy being an American talks about the going ons in the US with their orange President. I honestly could think of a few other naturally orange cats who could do a better job…ummm.. @punybear, Malcom of @the_furry_collective, Thomas of @3gingerfurbabies, @winksmeow or even Toothless Tigger of @holyhoneybucket! Maybe the world would be a little bit kinder and appreciate and enjoy the simpler things in life like sunbeams on the carpet, ribbons and twist ties.

KM: Oh those are some excellent candidates to replace the …um… orange person you talk about….. I think they will do a much better job in making the world a bit more kinder! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

S: I love seeing how bonds have formed between cats furriends and human friends alike. The amazingly caring Cats Of Instagram community show support for other cats and their humans during hard times of sickness or loss, follower milestones or birthday pawty celebrations. There are many philanthropic cats and humans who shed light on special needs cats, charities, organizations, fostering or injustices such as @mycatkyle @kittenxlady @eddie_the_lilac_lion or @yellowhatsforcats.

Social media can be frustrating at times too though. Hearing about pictures being stolen by other users, accounts being hacked or lost is not uncommon and it is unfair. And don’t get me started on Instagram’s whole algorithm business!

But despite that, the internet and social media platforms are a fascinating place to meet furriends from around the world.

KM: Do you have a special someone in your life?

S: Around Valentines Day, my furriend @lola_theexotic_showgirl set me up on a blind date with @iamliquidcat and it was love at first sight! He is a three year old, lilac colored British Shorthair. He lives in Paris with his humans. He is just so handsome and is just a darling. I call him my beau. Not many humans and cats know his real name and his secret is safe with me!

KM: Why Stella, I didn’t know you had a beau!!! That’s pawsome! I hope we get to meet this elusive hunk sometime soon! What is your dream date?

S: Mine and @iamliquidcat’s first date was so pawesome! It was in Sydney, Australia. We had a beautiful picnic lunch in Hyde Park, went to the aquarium and then to Luna Park and went on loads of fun rides! It was a dream come true!

KM: That sounds like a wonderful date! What would you like to accomplish in the near future?

S: The humans are taking me with them on their 2 week vacation to Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. I hope to have a safe and stress free 15 hour car ride. Wish me luck! It will be an accomplishment for sure if I get through it.

KM: I wish you luck sister! I am not a fan of the car but Mama keeps saying she wants to take me on a cross Canada trip! Right! Like that’s going to happen! Anyway, do you have anything else you would like to say?

S: I love my followers on Instagram! I have met so many furriends who each have a special place in my heart. They are all so beautiful and handsome and have the most kind, caring and generous humans who share their stories.

KM: Thanks so much for chatting with me Stella! You are such a joy to talk to! Let’s catch up at the next pawty!
