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!
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!
