Sad day

It's been a sad time around here. Murphy left us about dinner time yesterday and I have been crying on and off ever since. I knew I had become attached to him but I had no idea just how much. I miss him terribly.


The good news is he went to a wonderful home. An older couple who had lost their cat a few months earlier and were looking to get a new one. They have only ever had orange cats so they knew how mischievious and busy orange cats are. They were the perfect fit for him. They live in a house so he will have a lot more room. They already fell in love with him before they even left. And Murphy took to them well. He even gave the woman kisses.  They were here for about an hour so he got used to them while I was around. In the end it worked out perfect. I know he will be loved and looked after well. But I just miss him. He had such a big personality. Without him this place is so quiet. Poor Molly had a bad night. She spent most of it walking around looking for him. It broke my heart. She has settled down since I woke up and fed her. She is now sleeping contently. But I think it's going to be a sad adjustment for the both of us.

Love you Murphy,... I will miss you terribly,....
