Katdid Konversation with Cappy

Hello friends and welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversation with me, Kitty Mojito!

Today, we are welcoming a very special guest, our dear furriend Cappy of Cappybears fame!

Cappy with his mom, Katie Beth

KM: Cappy, welcome to Katdid Konversations! I am so excited to finally talk to you!

C: I am so happy to be here, Kitty Mojito! Thank you for having me!

KM: Let’s start from the beginning! I know that you are originally from Dubai and now living with your wonderful family in Nashville! How did you come to find your human?

C: I was found alone, paralyzed, in the streets of Dubai! I was taken to a vet clinic, and they saved my life. I had to lose my tail but that is ok! A rescue helped me fly to America where I was in foster care for several months. An Instagram follower sent my mom a DM about me. That was it! They shared a post of me, and it went from there. She applied, and I waited. And then her application was accepted, and I traveled across the country to meet my new mom! I suffer from paresis which is partial paralysis. Don’t be fooled! Special needs kitties like me can live a long and fulfilling life! We just need a little extra help!

KM: Wow, what an origin story! How lucky that you were able to find a forever home with your family! What does your daily life look it?

C: Morning meows and snuggles with my mom, run down the stairs, morning tinkle expression, breakfast, get dressed, snooze, acupuncture appointment, snooze, afternoon tinkles, dinner, family snuggles, evening tinkles, pajamas, and bed, hehe.

KM: That is definitely a busy and fulfilling day! We love watching your daily vlogs! Do you have a favorite treat?

C: I sure do love me some Churus!

KM: Oh yes! We love our tube treats too! They are definitely one of our favourites! From what I have seen on your videos, you enjoy lots of play! If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

C: My feather wand brings out my inner kitty instincts. My mind is nourished, and spirit feels so free. 

KM: Amazing! Do you have any special skills?

C: I hold the record for world’s quickest Churu nibbler!

KM: You are so funny, Cappy! I think you are also the world’s best kitty poet since you are so good with your words! When you are not eating Churus, what do you like to do for fun?

C: Snuggle, snooze, snackies! I live the most fulfilled life!

KM: Let’s talk about siblings. Now, I know you lost your brother, Lele, not too long ago. He was so special, wasn’t he?

C: Yes, I miss him so much, every single day. He was the best brother! We shared a wonderful relationship! Now, I have a younger brother, Hadley. Hadley Bear is a rescue dog from the local shelter. We have mutual respect for one another, but I still can get a little spooked. I’m just a little kitty, after all! I’ve never been an older brother before, and setting an example is very important. Sometimes, my mom clips my claws in front of Hadley to show it is okay. He continues to build his confidence each day. I am very impressed. 

KM: It is so lovely to see the relationship you have with Hadley grow daily. Sometimes, it is hard to adjust to a new sibling. I am still having trouble with my big brother, Lynx, who joined us about 5 years ago. Cappy, you are super famous, with almost 2M followers across your social media channels! What do you like or don’t like about social media?

C: Social media is a great way for me to sparkle and shine like the star I am. I have no complaints. 

KM: You got that right! You are definitely a star! Your mom is a great advocate for special needs kitties and that makes you a role model to all of us! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

C: I wish for all humans to experience life with their soul pet.

KM: That is so sweet! Before we wrap up, tell us about something you would like to accomplish in the near future and also your message to the world?

C: I really love this life!  I hope to encourage and inspire others to take a chance on caring for disabled animals. It is really important that we give disabled pets a chance and open our homes and hearts!

KM: Absolutely! We should all be more open to adopting disabled, special needs and senior pets! They deserve a forever home and a life of safety and love. Thank you so much Cappy! This was such a wonderful chat! Look forward to seeing you and Hadley flourish even more!

Katdid Konversation with Princess Honeybelle

Welcome to another episode of Katdid Konversations! I am your host, Kitty Mojito!

Today, we have an extra special guest all the way from Melbourne, Australia! You may know her as an award winning, world-renowned baker, fashionista & celebrity! Say hello to Princess Honeybelle!

KM: Welcome to Katdid Konversations, Honey! You have no idea how excited I am to chat with you! I have been a fan for so long!!

H: Thanks so much for inviting me, Kitty! I am so happy to be here!

KM: Wow! I am fan-girling so hard! Lynxy will be so mad that he is missing out on this chat! He is obsessed with you! First of all, let me congratulate you on your AiMCO awards and for being featured on TIME Magazine! What an accomplishment!

H: Thank you so much! We are so grateful for being recognized for all our hard work!

KM: Let’s go back to the beginning! How did you come to find your humans?

H: I was at a shelter/vet with my 2 sisters and brother, and my pawrents had come in because they had sadly just lost their new kitten. They were there to pick up her memorial paw prints, and they saw and fell in love with me! 

KM: Wow! It was fate that your pawrents found you! It was meant to be! Can you describe a day in your life?

H: I like to start my mornings with a little singing, followed by some professional door climbing and parkour. Once my pawrents have woken up and appreciated my skills, I box with my brother, Mocha, while we wait for breakfast to be prepared. Then, I like to lounge on my little pink chair and watch the birds, or sometimes I help my Meowmy bake something in the kitchen and film a video. My brother, Kody and I also go outside to the backyard to get some fresh air and hang out on the grass if the weather is nice. The afternoons are for napping in the sunshine on my pink fluffy bed until dinner time. The rest of the evening is for walking and singing on my cat wheel, which is my favourite thing! I always demand an audience, and I will walk on it for hours. When it gets close to midnight, Meowmy will make me a couch tent and I’ll settle down and sleep, until it’s time to start singing again!

KM: I can definitely relate to the singing! I like to sing and try to play fetch with mama at 2am every morning! But she is always so grumpy about it! Now, as a talented baker, I know you work a lot with food! Do you have a favourite item you like to eat?

H: I LOVE liquid cat treats, and pink cupcake frosting as a special treat!

KM: Frosting!!! Is it yummy??? I have never had it! It sounds delicious! Let’s talk about toys! If you had to choose one toy to play with, what would that be?

H: It would definitely be my favourite plastic milk ring. I carry it around like it’s my baby! 

KM: That is so cute! My favourite is hair ties! I love to toss them around and play fetch with the pawrents! Honey, you and your siblings are worldwide celebrities! Can you share a bit about your journey from household kitties to social media superstars?

H: You are too kind, Kitty! We don’t really see ourselves as celebrities! We are everyday kitties who love to create content to make you smile! Our Meowmy started our page as a way to document my growth and as a fun way to be creative and meet new people! We quickly gained lots of new followers, especially during COVID, and eventually, Meowmy began working on the page full time. We love it, because now, it’s her job to spend so much time with all of us!

KM: That sounds like the best job in the world! We are HUGE fans of your page! Our mama has made many bakes from your recipe videos! When you are not busy making videos, what do you like to do for fun?

H: I love walking around the yard as I just love exploring! I also love to walk on my wheel!

KM: Oh yes! I love exploring too! My favourite thing to do is walk around in the garden area and eat all the grass! Now, I know you have siblings! Tell us a bit about your relationship with them.

H: I have 2 older brothers, Kody and Mocha. Kody is a very protective older brother and looks out for me, but also isn’t afraid to play fight with me! Mocha has always been a little wary of me, and sometimes I bully him around, even though he’s 11 years older! I am only 4 so I am the baby of the family!

Honey (on pink chair), Mocha (inside pink house), Kody (on cat tree)

KM: We love Kody and Mocha! They are so handsome and so talented, just like you! Instagram is a great place to make friends. What do you like/ don’t like about social media?

H: Social media can be wonderful for finding all the good things about humanity, but it can also highlight the bad things. I love that you can find others to connect with that share your passions, you can learn so much from different cultures and perspectives, and it can help show you that you’re not alone in what you may be experiencing. I don’t like how easy it is for hate to be anonymous and misinformation to spread.

KM: Yes, you are so right! We are so grateful to have met amazing friends like you on social media! We love being part of such a great cat community. But it does make us sad that some people just seem to enjoy bringing others down by being so mean! We need more love all around! If you could make one wish, what would it be?

H: I would wish that no kitty ever experiences any pain or sadness.

KM: That is a wonderful wish, Honey! Let’s pray that it comes true! Is there anything you would like to accomplish in the near future?

H: I am planning on writing a cookbook this year!

KM: OMG! I cannot wait to get my paws on a copy! You heard it here first, folks! THERE IS A PRINCESS HONEYBELLE COOKBOOK IN THE WORKS!!!! Before we wrap up this wonderful chat, what is one message you would like to share with the world?

H: Please adopt from a shelter/rescue & spay/ neuter your pets! If you can’t adopt at the moment, support them with a monetary donation or with much needed supplies like food & litter. If you can’t donate money, volunteer your time. Every little bit helps to save and improve the lives of cats. 💖

KM: Well said, Honey! It is so important that we work together to improve the lives of all animals! Thank you so much for taking time to chat with me today! I can’t wait to see all the other amazing things that you will be sharing with us in the future!

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!

You can follow Pearl and her sister, Sapphire on Instagram @camelliastkittens

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!

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

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!
