Murphy 😎🌈

Hi, I’m Murphy!

I’m 1.5 years old and I’m a super happy and playful little guy. I was in the pound for a really long time and was really anxious when I first arrived at my foster home. I was also sick at the time with cat flu and a tummy infection, but medication helped me and now I feel so much better! It took me a while to settle in with my foster mum and my foster sister cat because I had been through so much, but with a bit of love and gentleness from my foster mum, now I feel right at home and even have my favourite spots in the house. When the weather is super cold, I love curling up inside my foster mum’s warm puffer jacket on the couch.

You will often see me zooming around the house with excitement and playing with my foster cat sister in the house. I love playing with my foster sister but sometimes we don’t see eye to eye because she is so much older than me and I still have kitten energy. I LOVE playing with my foster mum in the crinkly cat tunnel.

I’m very active but I’m also the perfect mix of independent and cuddly. My favourite time of day (apart from meal times, of course!), is when my human is relaxing on the couch or at bedtime when I can snuggle up with them and get lots of head and neck scratches. When I’m snuggling with my human I like to put my arm around their neck to give them a big hug while I fall asleep on their shoulder. My human says it’s pretty cute. I have a really cute, soft meow but a really big pur. I’m pretty chatty - you will often hear me chirping away at my cat sister and foster mum. I’m also a very good boy – I always use the kitty litter and I love scratching the cat tower rather than the carpet.

I would do very well in a house with another younger cat but I can also handle being by myself when my human goes to work. Whenever she comes home from work, I’m relaxing on the couch and not anxious, but happy to see her come home. But I don’t like dogs – they are scary and I don’t understand them.

🧡Likes: Catnip, my laser toy, head and neck scritches and Dine creamy treats – yum yum!

Dislikes: Being confined to small spaces, and car rides

I don’t do very well in new and confined spaces, especially after a car trip so I will probably be a different cat at an adoption day with lots of new sounds and smells. But I would love to meet you if you come and visit me at home! I love greeting people at the door, so please reach out and come meet me.
