Meet Murphy

I'd like you all to meet Murphy, our newly-adopted, 10-month old cat.  We adopted him from The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas shortly after visiting the cat adoption center with some friends of ours who adopted a cat.  Once you walk into the room, your fate is pretty much sealed.  If you are a cat person who wants a cat, you will find a cat you love and you will find a way to adopt them.  At least, that's what happened to us.  We fell in love with a little orange tabby female, but she was adopted before we could return.  When we came back, we met this little fella who was just bursting with love for us.  We couldn't wait this time, and we signed the adoption papers for "Skittles" (who we re-named Murphy because we didn't feel he was rainbow-y enough to be a Skittles).

He's pretty much the sweetest cat ever (even after his neutering surgery the vet tech told us he was the sweetest cat she saw all day).  I hope you enjoy these pictures of him (I know I do!).

"Thanks for adopting me!"

He's a weirdly long cat, especially when he stretches.

Play time!

He likes to attack the beams of light coming in the window in the morning. :)
