Mojo and Friends: Ozzy on the Loose

Ozzy on the Loose

Today was Ozzy's first day unsupervised and loose in the house. I was nervous. I worried there would be shredded furniture with the stuffing falling out, broken possessions, general chaos. Did he know how to be a house cat? I sure seemed like it.

Matt went home and lunch and texted me that all was well.

I went home too an hour later. And this is the sight that greeted me

Ozzy hopped up and cuddled Mojo. Mojo wasn't too sure about it, but cuddled him anyway instead of walking off.

Theories are that he was looking for Mojo to protect him, but I think Ozzy just likes Mojo.

We let Ozzy out into the house today. I'll admit, I was a little worried.

Ozzy is definitely part of the family. He fits right in.

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.
