Playing Football Dawggone it!

Football season kicks off this Friday, so Matt and Mojo were working on their passing game. Here's Mojo's highlights reel. Whatdayathink Coach Richt? Need a receiver?

All curled up

Katie is all curled up in the bedding taking a much-need weekend nap. I thought she mimicked the shape of the pink blanket well.

Hide and Seek Champ

I couldn't find Katie anywhere. She wasn't in any of her usual hiding spots: under the table, under the bed. I finally found her in the bedroom closet, where she managed to wedge herself in between my long sleeve workout shirts.  Don't ask me why.  (But yes, she fits. :)

Staying in the closet

Katie has decided that she likes my closet. I wish she'd pick up a little while she's in there.

Here's Looking at You, Kid

A glare from Gunnar, just 'cause.

Daily Mojo

Because I can't get enough photos of Mojo smiling :)

Fat cat

Gunnar likes to lay down to drink his water. He flops down and then stays by the bowl. It's really quite funny that he is that lazy. But I guess you gotta do what's most comfortable.

It kind of reminds me of Homer Simpson resting his food and drink on his belly. Just don't tell Gunanr because I don't want him getting any ideas.

Kitty time out

I caught Gunnar hiding under the table the other day. The way the chairs are arranged it kind of looks like a little kitty fortress. We have these great bar height chairs and the cats use the chairs as sort of a jungle gym to dive under, balance on and hide from Mojo. But here, Gunnar just has a quiet moment. Don't worry, I'm sure he's plotting his next caper.

Licking plastic

One of Katie's offer habits is licking plastic. She loves it.

If I bring home plastic shopping bags, she'll lick them. Once Matt got a suit back from the dry cleaner and she climbed up in the closet to lick the dry cleaning plastic. In the middle of the night. Seriously, no plastic is safe. 

We asked the vet about it. The vet said her cats did it too and that they like the texture. She said it wasn't a mineral deficiency or anything. But to be safe, if we leave plastic shopping bags around just to cut the handles so she doesn't get caught in them. 

Here Katie is licking the plastic on Mojo's dog treats.

It's not the dog treats Katie is after, it's the plastic wrapping. And look at that face.

Action shot. She really does lick it. Yummy. Dog treats.

Please? Can I have some more plastic?

Editor-in-chief

Katie is always on top of her editing. If there's a piece of paper laying out, she has to sit on it. We're just lucky she doesn't have her red pen out or we'd be in trouble.

Dinner Dangers

I love our little brood, but some times it can be dangerous to have so many pets. Case in point: Dinner. Last night I made crockpot chicken. And all three love chicken.

Gunnar uses his super kitty glaring powers to try and get some of Matt's chicken.

It started out simply enough: Gunnar glaring at Matt to get some chicken. From there Gunnar decided that he would just eat off Matt's plate.

Matt feeds Gunnar with a hungry dog looking on. 

Mojo licking his chops that chicken looks so good.

Then Mojo joined in the begging game. And Mojo is the champion of begging. Gunnar will just jump in a grab your food. He'll get on your plate or bat it from you. Mojo, however, has mastered the SAD EYES. Look at that sad intent face.

All three pets begged dad for some chicken.

Not to be outdone, even shy Katie decided she had to get in on the action. So here we have Mojo with his best sad eyes, Gunnar and Katie's climbed up in Matt's lap. All three kids, all begging for chicken. Poor Matt, I don't think he got to eat that much chicken.

Mr. Helpful

Gunnar prides himself on being a very helpful cat. He helps me edit. He decided he needed to help me with my laptop.

Not sure if he thought my story needed editing, or if we wanted to send an email on just get on Facebook.

Closed the laptop and he still wanted to help.

Bosco

Mojo loves to go over to his grandparents house. He loves to run up and down their stairs, to play in their back yard and to eat their food. He also loves company. There was a small reunion for Nanny's (Mojo's great grandmother) birthday and Mojo got to play with Bosco (Uncle Jim's dog).

Cat perch

Where is cat to nap when the rest of the couch is taken?
