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.

Here’s to another ten years of this adorable ol fluff! My partner had a kitty that hit 27, so let’s hope he breaks our record!

27, wow! We would love that.

I’m sending my luv in hopes that it happens! Their car was an indoor/outdoor cat and their parents just fed it crunchy food, it’s crazy! I think the oldest cat to live was late 30s?

Anyway, let ya boi for me, the absolutely fluff of im…

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!

I'ma need a pic of these kitties in the stroller.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

If our lazy butts actually get out there, I’ll for sure pop back with pics!

Long Live His Murphiness

Tempted to make a video, animate his arms, and add Bruce Lee noises.

I love Murphy ❤️

[–] berryjam@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

We should all aspire to be like Murphy. He is old and he is wise. 💙

I love this I hope my Goober loves long and healthy like this, all our cats really. Let's go Murphy!!! I can only imagine the special bond you must have after over two decades. Very special.

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.
