Avid Reader

Mojo used Christmas break to catch up on his reading. When I got up to get some water, he stole my spot and my Kindle. Maybe he was reading Marley and Me?

New Cabinets

We bought some new cabinets for the kitchen. The cats decided to "help" Matt build them.

Gunnar was assessing the wood. He says it doesn't smell like any tree he knows.

Apparently, he isn't familiar with Ikea trees. 

Katie wanted to know what was going on. We did move her food spot after all. 

When I went to fill up the cabinets Gunnar hopped up in them to supervise. 

Seriously, the cat was in the cabinets. I wonder if Ikea sells cat-proof furniture.

I should add that a week later, he has destroyed the bottom cabinets trying to get in them. It's not just claw marks, chunks of wood are missing. Perhaps evil cat is part woodchuck too. Or beaver. 

Rare sighting

Mojo and Katie have really made friends over the years. I occasionally even catch them cuddling. 

Here they are taking a nap together. 

I think Katie prefers Mojo to Gunnar any day. 

Helping with the Laundry

I was trying to put some laundry in the wash before I went to work this morning. And Gunnar decided he needed to help. He was perched on the edge of the washer watching the water pour into the machine. 

No!

That's not safe for kitties. But this guy has a fascination with 1) water and 2) small spaces. He likes to wtach the water run into the bath tub. (He's only fell in once or twice.) 

So I scooped kitty up, closed the lid and plunked him down on the lid, where he stayed and tried to figure out what that crazy loud contraption was for. 

New Scarf

Mojo decided to model my new pink and black scarf. He'll probably borrow it when I'm not looking.

Don't tell Matt, but pink is a good color for Mojo.

The scarf didn't fit Katie quite right. 

Peace Offering Gone Wrong

The part of the couch covered in the paw print blanket is Mojo's spot.
He doesn't like anyone, even friends, to try and take his spot.

I took Mojo's spot on the couch today. I told him I'd get up in a minute, but he gave me this LOOK.

So I handed him some Chex mix as a peace offering.

He ate it. I moved. He followed me around and asked for more Chex mix. I gave him all that I had and he even followed me when I left the room. "MOAR CHEX MIX" he said with his best puppy dog eyes.

Apparently he likes Chex mix. 

Gunnar Glare

"How dare you disturb my nap, puny human?" That's what evil emperor Guns seemed to be saying when I walked into the bedroom and found him cuddled up next to my pillow. He sure looked comfortable.

Halloween Friends

Mojo made some cute friends this Halloween. He thought these pictures were too adorable not to share.

Don't let the giant bumble bee sting you.

Don't eat the fuzzy-footed chicken, Mojo.

That is one cute skunk.

Who knew roaches were for petting?

Some nice horses that live off South Milledge Avenue. 

Princess Lexi and her noble steed. 

Evil cat

Gunnar tacking his dad to get some attention. 

This morning, Matt was trying to get the lint off of his work pants—all while Gunnar was trying to get as much cat fur as possible on the same pants.

It was pretty funny to watch them fight over Matt's black pants.

Finally I picked up Gunnar and took him to the other room. He was purring quite loudly—content that his evil deed for the morning went so well. 

New Scarf

I got a new scarf and Mojo decided that he had to model it. I think he was the tiniest bit sad when I took it off him and told him it didn't really match his Halloween collar.
