    So darn cute!! Wherever did you find that toy?

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    I bought this toy at an independant pet store last year. I thought it was great and bought one for each one of my cat loving friends and family. i will have to go back and see what treasures are in store for playful kitties this year.

    Gorgeous photo – what breed of cat is this, beautiful!

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    Murphy is a Ragdoll, a cross between a Birman and a Persian. The breed was established in 1965. He was only three months old here and has filled out so nicely. Now he has a gorgeous thick coat with a big rough and has a very regal bearing.

  • edgeplus

    We had a gorgeous little cat we called Coco who looked just like Murphy, choc seal point with little white paws. We picked her up from a shelter as her entire litter was dumped. She wasn’t as fluffy as Murphy and was the only one in her litter that looked like that – moggie! She had the loveliest nature…

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    Oh, sweet Coco. Perhaps she was part Ragdoll. They do have the sweetest nature and make friends with everyone. Murphy is a Seal Point, but the white part that would normally be just under his chin has moved up under his nose, so he has this very funny white Charlie Chaplin moustache. He is quite the character and most handsome.

  • edgeplus

    edgeplus

    Does he have blue eyes too? He does indeed look very handsome ;o)

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    Oh yes! His eyes are very blue. I have one photo, a close up in my collection of photos where he and Bella are looking right at the camera. That image was right out of the camera and I did not have to do an adjustments at all. You will love it!

  • edgeplus

    edgeplus

    Too funny, incidentally my little girl’s name is Bella. I will have a look now ;o)

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    Small world. Bella means beautiful. A lovely name for your daughter.

  • edgeplus

    Give him a cuddle for me ;o)

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    I will give him a snuggle for you. He is sitting right here grooming his paws, Something he always does after he has eaten.

    Adorable and a great subject too! It is nice to see a cat that will play, so you can buy him cool toys like that, mine does not.

  • Marjorie Wallace replied

    Hi Cheryl. Thank you for your nice comment. He was the only one of my cats who would play with this toy, and that was only when he was a young kitten. This year he only took a couple of bats at it before he lost interest.
