Thanks for sharing Murphy with us. I find it funny the number of times I read or hear "my cat acts like a dog". I think cats have been misunderstood as always being independent and not needy of our attention and affection. All of the cats I have had in my lifetime have been attentive, requesting of my attention, wanting to play fetch, etc. I believe that these are traits of cats, if you are willing to encourage them. They may have this in common with dogs so I understand the misconception but it is a stereotype that we can forget I think. Too many people dump cats at the shelters where I volunteer because they say the cat wants too much from them. They were under the impression that cats were like objects; which we all know is not the case.
