Murphy a.k.a. little wild man

January 10, 2022

After saying goodbye to two of our beloved kitties in 2020, we felt it was time to add another furry friend to our mix, so we decided to adopt a quiet somewhat playful kitty for our 6 yrs. old sweet settled down Mickey. I went online and looked and looked. Immediately upon seeing “Tom” Murphy’s sweet kind eyes, I wanted to meet him. We met Tom along with other kitties and he was a little shy, a little playful, gentle, and sweet. He was perfect. Approximately a month later Tom became known as Murphy and was welcomed into our home.
After about 5 days of being in his own personal playroom we allowed him to venture around the house and shy, little playful Murphy immediately turned into lively, life of the party, energetic (that’s an understatement) wild man! Murphy wouldn’t slow down enough for Daisy our doodle or Mickey to get a whiff of him. He wanted to investigate, jump on Daisy and Mickey, and eat everything in sight. And then repeat!
That was weeks ago and now he is still running around at 100mph, still eating everything in sight but he loves his sister Daisy, and his big brother Mickey and they love/accept him for the wild man he is. He still tries to take down his 17lb brother Mickey but to no avail. And he still jumps over and on top of Daisy, but it does not phase her. Everyone gets along wonderfully.
There is never a dull moment in our home, and now there is even more joy with him there.
Murphy is just what our whole crew and home needed!
Thanks so much to Patti and CARE for bringing us together!
