We have a crawl space, and the entrance is in the coat/main floor storage closet. This is a "Magic Closet" because the door stays closed. Magic Closets are apparently what re-energizes Kitty Magic, because they all MUST get in the Magic Closet as soon as it's open.

Last night we had to put some boxes and stuff down into the crawl space. Earl goes into the actual crawl space and I hand him stuff through the floor access door. Well, that's actually a small part of my role. The larger part of my role is while Earl is putting the boxes where they need to go, which means the "door" to the crawl space is open, I am the Kitty Goalie. I have to try, by any and all means available, to keep all of the kitties out of the Magic Closet.

Ophelia didn't want to play, mainly because she would probably start a brawl with 2 of the other players.

Trent gave it a noble try, and did score once, but gave up when the Goalie picked him up and gave him lots of smooches.


Ginger and Mojo worked together a couple times, but Ginger was trying really, really hard to be a good girl, so she just played the distracter while Mojo tried to score. Besides, Ginger once scored the ULTIMATE goal and actually got down into the crawl space! It had a lot of boxes, but it was dirty and icky.


Mojo is by far the most tenacious of Team Kitty. No matter how many times she was denied by the Goalie, she kept on coming back! She scored at least 5-6 times and even started getting really mad at the Goalie and smacking her tail on the floor.
But by the end, with only one more big plastic tote to go downstairs, The Great Mojo got worn out. While Earl was playing Goalie by popping up from The Forbidden Hole, Mojo laid down on the tote and went to sleep.
She didn't get to sleep, but she did get pets and kisses, so it was OK for a tired kitty.

i have a magic closet, too - it's the only closet where the door is always shut... my clothes closet. tonight, i hung up my pants - Chip ran inside. i just shut the door [that's what i usually do]. about 20 minutes later, he was requesting to get out...
evidently i also have a magic laundry room, stuffed with kitty treats, toys, something - 'cause Cable & Firefox are always trying to run in there, too!

I really wasn't surprised at Mojo's persistence. Everything you've told us indicates the girl is driven.

Watching the robins sing!
Mojo is a very determined cat! Isn't it funny how they always want to be just where we don't want them to be! My Magic room is my four season porch. It basically is still used (by me) for storage, so there are alot of boxes, my Christmas tree, etc. Mollie and Cosmo are the most determined to make it out there to climb, play fort and on sunny days, sleep under the skylights! When Cosmo wants to go out there, he sits at the door and waves his feet up against the glass door! Personally, I think it is just a ploy that our cats use to "keep us on our toes!"
