Murphy (orange) and Kirby (brown) are both affectionate, cuddly cats that love attention. They are very much a bonded pair – they are very attached to each other and need to stay together. They like to sleep together and groom each other. They will chase each other around the house and play wrestle. They enjoy playing with toys and chasing feather wands. They have gotten along with other cats and dogs we have had in our home. They love human attention above all and one or both will lay on you if you’re sitting down.
Murphy in particular is an emotionally intelligent cat – he will run to you if you’re crying or yelling and nuzzle you and try to calm you down. He is very smart and has figured out how to open doors in our house. He is very entertaining to observe! Murphy is more of the leader and Kirby follows his lead.
Both are food motivated and will come running to you if you ask if they want food/treats. They have playful and social demeanors and have never intentionally bitten or scratched anyone. They can be picked up and you can pet or scratch them anywhere and they don’t mind. The only downside is that Murphy likes to eat foam (anything with an exercise mat texture). He has had to have foam removed from his stomach a few times so he needs to be kept away from it.
We now have a toddler and baby in the house and while both cats do well with kids, we unfortunately can no longer give them the attention they deserve. We would love them to find a loving home where their owner’s lap is free to cuddle them as much as they want!
