The superdog's family

                                                                                                                                                                               This is Mojo, the Pixie Bob. He's my legend cat, and a real blue-blooded royalty since his bloodline goes back to the legendary Pixie, a barn cat who mated with a bobtail. This is why Mojo looks like a lynx - big paws with thumbs, and the typical coloring. Mojo is a sweetheart and never misses to kiss me when he passes by. He's supposed to be  is an indoor cat but likes to go for walks down to the seaside, and in summer he joins us on the jetty when we go swimming. Once he caught a snake and brought it home, but our human wasn't amused. Not to worry, I told Mojo he's a great hunter.
Freckles is the youngest of my family, a silver bengal who is simply gorgeous. His real name is Solitaire, because there is only one of him, but we call him Freckles because that's what he looks like - a silver freckled cat. He only drinks water from the tap, and he likes to sleep cuddled up to me. We might call him Feckless because his tail got caught under a cupboard when he was a kitten - curiosity is supposed to kill the cat but in Freckles case it only maimed him - so his tail is all twisted in one spot. Freckles has the fur of a desert cat and dislikes the cold, and in summer he's enjoying the sun stretched out on the deck. Today he ventured out for a few minutes with Mojo and me, lured out by our blackbird, but ended up curled up in our human's eiderdown.
My human prefers to be behind the camera, but this picture captures her most prominent feature - her hair. I believe it's been taken in Amorgos, one of her favorite places, where she was sailing one summer and, I believe, had just lost her heart. I'm glad to say she has found it again, but I'm not sure she agrees.
