Murphy is indoor-only but we sometimes take him outside on a leash. We recently moved into a house with a backyard that opens into a forest, and we were hoping to eventually let him out on his own, but we saw a young black bear wandering around last week and there are birds of prey in the skies, so he'll have to stay inside or with us all the time.
We've only had him 19 years. We're guessing he was around 1 when we first adopted him. Here is the first pic we have of him which might have been a few days after adoption. It was taken on May 25, 2005.
We keep our oldmancat Murphy in his room at night; otherwise, he'll howl at our bedroom door at an ungodly hour, begging to be fed. His room stays pretty dim, so when we let him out in the morning, he always gives us this squinty face.
This is what I keep saying too. To believe that so many people would keep a secret is just insane. Like the conspiracy about the NFL being rigged. It's not even just the number of people involved and the passage of time. With all the egos on any given team, there's no way all the players, the coaches, and everybody else would roll over and throw a game just because that was "the plan"for that year.
Your pic isn't loading for me, which makes me sad. But Calcifer reminds me of our boy who we joked could smell his mommy's tears. When my husband and I raised voices at each other, Sir Kitty ('03-'20) would come and yell at us, get on my lap, and get up in my face until we stopped to pet him, which seemed to be the only thing that would calm him.
Murphy is 20 years old and is deaf now, but still jumps up onto my lap and occasionally chases after strings. They told us he was found in a storm drain. He has been with us through 4 moves, the last time being just a week ago where he survived a 17-hour drive in a cramped car and pooping in a moving vehicle. He is a survivor and a sweetheart.
He loves rump smacks (cat bongos) and this rug. He especially loves rump smacks while on this rug.
Sir Kitty would sometimes appear "lost in thought" while lying on his back. The first time I saw him like this, I was seriously worried he was no longer alive because he wasn't moving and wouldn't respond to me calling to him.
Seven is going on 18 years old and still very much kicking. He's no longer an outdoor cat but he gets let out for a dirt bath in the driveway once in a while.
Ooh, that's exciting! Please post pics when you do.
If you like the style of mine, here's a tip: I told the artist I don't want any hard outlines / line art. Here is what it looked like before she shaded in the black areas:
I don't recall the shoulder blade hurting too much. I feel like the areas around the edges are what hurt more because the skin is more delicate in those areas. Overall it really wasn't bad, but I do think the coloring hurt more than the black parts, but I don't know if that's just from me getting used to it physically and mentally.
Murphy was found in a storm drain. We guess he was just under a year old when we adopted him. This video is from two years ago when he was around 18. He's still alive today and showing no signs of slowing down.

We had new floors put in today and Murphy was oblivious to the noise that would otherwise stress out a hearing cat.

Could you post a photo of your cat and tell me what makes them so special?
My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another....
What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

Snowy day with Murphy ( lemmings.world )
Got called off work on this snowy day so it's lots of lap time for Murphy. Win-win!
