These past two days have been so rough for my family. Our beautiful cat had got out during the storm. We still haven't found him. We feel like we lost one of our kids. It is amazing how an animal makes there way into your heart. We found Murphy back in 2006 up in the town of Murphy by pure luck. My husband wanting to get me a kitten but he found it would cost a little over $100 with a pet store. So he decided to take me up to Angels Camp, Ca for my Birthday. We decided to go see the caverns and we were following these signs that lead us into a town call Murphy. All the stores were closed except one. We went in and there was this beautiful cat. He was for sale for $25. We visit with him and feel in love. We decided that the name "Murphy" fit him perfectly.
Needless to say we have had him all this time and he is the best cat anyone could have. Every morning when our alarm went off, he would come on the bed and meow to make sure we got up. When we came home, he would be right at the door waiting. He would then hop on the counter and give us a little kiss with his nose. He also has a quirky side..he loved to catch bugs. He would make this crazy meow sound an ...Pounce. He would get them and then show it to us as if it were a prize.
One event that made me fall in love with him more is when my girls were outside playing with some kids and these boys started chasing the girls. I had a window open (with a screen) and was talking on the phone. All of a sudden I heard my youngest scream and before I could even react Murphy busted through the screen and started chasing the boy. He was very protective of our girls as well as us. I could go on with stories of how wonderful this cat is but even as I write this...I am tearing up. We miss him greatly and now all we can do is pray that someone finds him or he finds his way home. We are offering a $200 Reward for him. He just can't be replace and even though we only payed $25 for him...his love is worth so much more.
I hope there will be happy ending to this.......
