A Maine Coon Cat that won our Hearts

Murphy is AJ's and ME's Maine Coon Cat. He has a Birthday this Sept. He will be 4 year old. He was given to AJ as a Birthday Gift by Jen. He was adopted from Pet Smart. I really do not know why I okayed her to pick out a cat for us....but I did.



He was so tiny in the cage and had the sweetest little mew, I just could not say no.

After having him a month or two I was ready to take him back. He was into everything! He also pestered my 2 Old Girl Cats to death. 

This is Murphy on his first Birthday. He had grown into a Cat Giant! At this point in time I would never have given him away, but every day I wondered how I would put up with this Guy for the rest of my life!

But as time went on I lost my 2 Old Girls and he was the only pet in the house. I had one-on-one time with him and over the months I grew to really LOVE him. I completely got to know his personality.

 

 He was  so tiny when we got him....

he now weighs about 20 pounds, not fat just a Big Boy ♥

 The only time he was not getting into trouble was when he was Cat Napping.

 At 3 months around Christmas he still was a normal sized Kitten, but.......

 the next few months he had a growing spell and he grew......

 and grew!

 He still gets into everything but we just don't mind as much any more. He loves AJ & ME so much that he is hardly ever out of our sight.

 He helps ME cook, watches ME take a bath, keeps ME company when I need to use the potty, lays by AJ when he is on the computer, when AJ naps he lays ontop of him and always lays with AJ at night until AJ is fast asleep.

He is Our Big Boy Cat and we Love him so much. He would be an easy Cat to give away. Everyone that meets Murphy wants him......but I think we will just keep him for the rest of our lives.

Do not forget to take your Humming Bird Feeders down at the end of Sept. Wash and store them and put them out next year on Mothers Day!

My Favorite colors are Red, White and Blue!

Today at lunch AJ checked out his Facebook and after seeing 4 Posts I had put on my page defending My President, he called ME a "fanatic". ( Websters Dictionary: fanatic = enthusiasm and intense devotion). Yap that's ME, a Fanatic! I will confess I am a Fanatic when it comes to things I love and believe in....like my Family!, my Pets!, my Dear Friends!, my God!, my Freedom! (including freedom of speech), my Country! and my President!. I will defend all of the things I mentioned and I will never throw them under the bus. Sitting back and not speaking up for things you believe in and not defending or giving rebuttals, in my mind is throwing your beliefs under the bus. I am very much PRO Obama. I fear that if he does not get elected thing will change for ME, the Middle Class and the Poor.  

Barack came from a modest family, he paid his own way through schools: Occidental College, Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Taught Law at the University of Chicago for 12 years before getting into politics. This man knows what it is like to be self-made with no handouts from parents or inheritances from families. He is a Family Man and loves his Wife and Girls very much. He shows more Love and Affection in public for his Family, then I have ever seen any other President do. He one time said he ate alot of Jello Salads his Grandmother made for him while growing up.....and he still like them!

I believe in this man and I am willing to give him another 4 years to get the JOB DONE that he has started. I believe Rome was not built in a day. I believe there are many people out there today that are better off then they were 4 years ago.

 I Love this picture ^ up there. Believe it or not this Animal did at one time exist. I grew up with this Critter. Dems and Repubs use to get along. They had different ideas of how to get things done and the way a country should be run. But they were polite, and respectful to each other in their Campaigns. There was no spewing hate. Those days are gone, sadly. Today's campaigns are ugly.

I read Facebook daily and see "crap" put on from both sides. I really try to not put hateful post up about the President's opponent, but to put up positive post about Obama. I will sometimes have to give a rebuttal on a comment or lie, made about My President. There is so much STUFF floating around about both men that I really try to find out the truth before I post.

I told AJ, I will not "Shut Up" until Nov. 7, 2012, the day after election. Like I said when I started this Blog...I will defend what I believe in, and I would hope you would do the same. If any of my Facebook Friends are reading this..you are very dear to ME. I do believe in Pro-Choice, 100%. If you do not like my post and rebuttals or are tired of seeing them, you have the Freedom of Choice...just defriend ME...but please Friend ME again after Nov 6, 2012.
