He still gets the zoomies and crazies. Energizer Murphy – he just keeps on going.

      That he is! He’s a constant source of fluff despite the almost-daily brushing.

          More pets will be bestowed in your name. 😁

          Murphy is indoor-only but we sometimes take him outside on a leash. We recently moved into a house with a backyard that opens into a forest, and we were hoping to eventually let him out on his own, but we saw a young black bear wandering around last week and there are birds of prey in the skies, so he’ll have to stay inside or with us all the time.

            I’ve never had an outdoor cat and ZERO CHANCE I WOULD IF I SAW A BEAR! Cool picture, though!

            My partner and I bought a cat stroller but we haven’t taken our bois out yet. Thank you for reminding me—I think we’ll do it this weekend!

      We’ve only had him 19 years. We’re guessing he was around 1 when we first adopted him. Here is the first pic we have of him which might have been a few days after adoption. It was taken on May 25, 2005.

      Maybe I should change the 20+ to 20ish in the title.
