Purray Furray Murray

Meet Murray. The new edition to our little family. Hes furry, he purrs a lot (so hes purry) and his name is Murray, hence the title of this blog entry. We got him from Happily Ever After, a humane society in Green Bay. I picked him out because he was cute AND he was born in the same small town I was. I guess I saw it as fate.
My other cat Milo took a day or so to fully warm up to Murray, but Murray felt right at home the minute I carried him into the house. Milo greeted him with a hiss and then followed him all over the house while he explored. Here is a video of it, if you care...
Murray has made a nice little edition to our family. He is cute, lovable and loves attention. His few flaws are that he stinks when he uses the litter box and he likes people food too much. This makes it difficult for the people in this house to eat without him trying to stick his face in it, especially since he sometimes succeeds.
Now that Milo and Murray have become comfortable with each other, Milo has proved to be a great big brother. He is always giving Murray baths in between play fighting with him (Murray starts it). When Murray cries, which he often does over nothing, Milo is often found close by shortly after. So, any concerns I had about Milo and Murray not getting along were quickly diminished.
They can often be found in different spots like this, cuddled together in the bucket and towels we'd set out when our roof was leaking during heavy rain.

You can see more videos of these guys and whatever else I feel like posting on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/penguinchick86

Humane Society, Homework and a Temp Job


Today, my boyfriend and I went to the Humane Society to look at kittens. We have Milo, but I want him to have a friend. I feel bad when we leave him all by himself. I know he is "just" a cat, but I love him! (Everyone that meets him does!)
There are lots of great cats where we went, a few of my favorites are Freedo, Charlie, Finnigan, and Yuma. But, we want a young male kitten who gets along with other cats, and none of them quite fit that description...
Anywho...the perfect kitten was there: male, still little, long golden hair, cute as could be...but someone else adopted him before we got a chance to look at him :( We left at the same time as the people who did adopt him and we wanted to follow them and steal the cat, but we didn't. The perfect kitten for us will come along when the time is right. Now may not be the best time since my online summer class through UWM just started and...
I start at a temp job tomorrow! Last week, after receiving the bad news that I did not get the job I was hoping for, I went around to some of the staffing agencies in my area and a couple days later, Manpower called me with a job! It will only last 2-3 weeks, but its full time and pays decent, so I'm happy! Plus, it is data entry, which isn't the most exciting thing, but it is good experience for other office jobs I may apply for in the future.
