Our original four-pack only got together for a few photos over time, and the same is true of this group - Juni, Okie Dokie, Cinnamon and Biskit all decided one day that they wanted to enjoy the festive blankets, although Okie was still plotting how to get closer. Biskit likes to play hard and then take long, long naps. He actually burroughs under the covers himself.
Okie Dokie loves to pose for pictures. He never got to meet Mr. Kamoa, but they would have been the best of friends. Mr. Kamoa believed that no box wasn't big enough for him to snuggle into.

Popoki mastered the art of sleeping on his back early on, one of his 25 patented moves.
Juni loves to play 'Dolls' during her work break, whereas Biskit likes to conduct 'test' naps on different soft surfaces, to see how the different colors look as a background to his very well kept coat.
Mr. Kamoa Moa the Magic Cat (AKA Big Guy, AKA Mr. K) was the first employee at Cozy Book Cellar. He was adopted from a Dog Pound, which luckily had taken in a few cats as well. He had been abandoned near a senior center and was skin and bones. He was so loved by the dog pound workers that they fed him Scooby snacks all day long for two months. Mr. K loved to be slung over your shoulder so he could purr away while watching everything fall away behind you. Kamoa was a giant marshmallow, sweet as can be, handsome beyond any photo, dignified and definitely was always in charge of the crew. Mr. K was our Shipping Manager. 
Cinnamon Cookie - AKA Memere Squeaky. Cinnamon came to us from a shelter when she was six months old. She had been abandoned outside, was covered with fleas and ticks, and fighting a serious infection. She's shy from having really bad things happen to her when she was young, but she wants to be around people all the time. She still 'Squeaks' when she's picked up, but if she climbs on your desk, she will roll over and beg you to rub her belly. Cinnamon is our Inventory Manager. 
Alani Popoki - a very brave and very happy cat whose name means Orange Cat in Hawaiian - AKA Pretty Boy. Alani Popoki passed away on June 30, 2018 and the hole left in our hearts when he left is offset only by the joy he filled them with in his nearly twelve years. Alani Popoki was adopted from a shelter when he was four months old. He was a little shy around new people, but he loved to play and run around like a crazed cat. Popoki was the happiest cat you'll ever meet in spite of his illnesses and he was gentle beyond gentle. He even purred while getting his rabies vaccine! Popoki was our Sales Manager and all he had to do was look pretty to generate sales. 
Juniper Mist (aka Junie B. Jones the lovable rascal, J.J. or just Juni) was adopted from a shelter in November, 2007. She was part of a large litter belonging to a stray cat that lived in the woods near someone's house. The people living there managed to rescue the entire litter from the cold outside - except for Juni! They were able to snag her two weeks later and brought her to a shelter. In spite of not having contact with people until she was four months old, Juni is a sweetie who will snuggle under the blanket with you if you let her and purrs away whenever you pet her. She collects paper clips, so Juni has been put in charge of Office Supplies and Purchasing. With the passing of Mr. Kamoa, Juni has also become Shipping Manager.
Ohana (Okie Dokie) is a sweet, lovable goofy young boy. We adopted Ohana in late fall of 2020 during the pandemic. He loves treats as much as he loves other cats. His favorite trick is to outlast Cinnamon as she swats him over and over again to tell him to leave her alone, then he flops down next to her and she washes him and starts purring while they snuggle together in the sun.
Biskit was about 8 months old when we first met him. Biskit was caught accidentally in the wild when he was six months old by a volunteer trying to catch a pregnant cat. Usually, he would have been neutered and then released back out to his colony, but he was so small that the volunteer decided to bring him into a shelter for safe keeping. It took volunteers weeks before they could even see Biskit, who would hide in a small cubby in his cage. We met Biskit when he was over 8 months old, and we visited him many times at the shelter before adopting him in April, 2019. Biskit was very feral but gentle and mostly very scared. He would have a panic attack if you tried to pick him up. It took many, many hours and weeks of working with him for an hour every night after work, but now Biskit is just a normal little housecat. We can pick him up without problem, he purrs away, sleeps on the sofa next to us at night, and loves working at the bookstore. He is very, very loving and seeing how he has grown to be able to be relaxed and enjoy life has been tremendously rewarding. We are so happy he came into our lives.
