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.
Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
