Katie's Mom

Playing with the iPhone camera

This is Sugar, Katie's mom. She showed up at my parents house during the winter my last year of college. I thought she was such a cute cat and eventually I lured her into the basement and out of the cold. She was the sweetest cat. And also pregnant. She had kittens in my bathroom closet the week of our wedding. (And one of those kittens, Katie came to live with us.)

I went to my parents house today and saw her. She was as sweet as ever. She kept giving me love, begging for attention. I really wanted to just bring her home with me. (But that wouldn't be fair to my two cats). Apparently, my parents other cats are really mean to her. Poor Sugar.

About Mojo & Friends

The adventures of a hilarious German Shepherd mix,

a sweet tabbico cat, a crazy Manx cat and a lazy fluff ball.

Affectionately known as "the kids," Mojo, Katie, Gunnar and Ozzy live with their mom and dad in an awesome college town in the South.

Mojo is a German Shepherd mix. He's outgoing, wants to meet and LOVE everyone.

As a puppy, Mojo was minutes away from being put to sleep when the folks at Pawtropolis rescued him. He was the sickly runt of the litter with fleas then, but after coming home with us he's grown from 4 pounds to 75 pounds (and back down to 63) and is one of the best dogs ever.

Katie is a sweet, shy cat who loves ham and playing with her shoelace. She also loves to cuddle. She was born the week of her parents wedding in her mom's closet. She was adopted and then abandoned by her then-family. But now she's a happy girl whose learned to purr. She was our first pet.

Gunnar is the newest addition to the gang. Born in the doghouse at my sister's, Gunnar was adopted shortly after melting our hearts after we visited. He and Mojo and the bestest of friends. Every night they play and groom each other. He's a Manx-mix. True to the breed, he's a round, roly-poly cat, who is super high energy and just a little crazy.

Ozzy is our newest addition. He chose us. Literally. He camped out on our porch and told us he was living with us. He tried to come in repeatedly. He resorted to kissing Mojo when we took him outside. And Mojo asked us why the kitty couldn't come inside. After a month of this, we took him to the vet and he was ours. He's since tripled in size and he's gone from short hair to luxuriously long haired. He loves to sleep and eat and will occasionally flop down in a lap for a cuddle.
