Meet Murphy

- BY RIHAAB MOWLANA

Iffath has a lot to say when asked about her Persian cat Murphy. “Cats are very peculiar animals. You will know it if you have ever kept a cat as a pet just like me. Murphy is not just our cat, he’s our family! He is Mischievou­s and Loves Fish. His belly rubs are essential and he loves climbing; His tiny paws definitely captured a place in all our hearts. He eventually became the 5th member of our family. I love my cat and enjoy being around him. Cats are playful, cheerful and adorable. Murphy tops the list and means everything to me!”.

Q HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR PET?

My best friend actually had a pair and they made adorable kittens, since I am a cat person, my best-friend decided to gift one for me.

Q WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME YOU'VE GIVEN?

Well, there is no story actually but I was actually gifted with a condition from my best friend, saying I’ll have to name him with a name that begins with “M”

Q WHAT ARE MEAL TIMES AND BATH TIMES LIKE?

A meal time is like a party and a bath time is literally like war !! He hates the water so much.

Q WHAT'S HIS FAVOURITE THING TO DO?

That would definitely be sleeping. Lol

Q WHAT'S THE NAUGHTIEST THING HE HAS DONE?

Omg! There’s actually many but the one that I can never forget is, me casually walking into the balcony and seeing my pet sunbathing on my neighbour’s roof.

Q HOW DOES HE REACT WHEN YOU RETURN HOME?

Awww, that’s actually the best thing ever! No matter where he is, when he hears my voice he runs towards me and rubs his his body on my leg and gives me that loud purr.

Q DOES HE DO ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT FASCINATES YOU?

Yes!! There is many again, but the best is the way he gestures to play a game of hide and seek with him..

Q WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT HIM?

The best thing about him would be the way he asks for belly rubs. which is his fave, and if you want to be friends with him a little belly rubbing would do.

Q WHAT WAS THE MOST UNFORGETTA­BLE MOMENT YOU'VE SHARED WITH YOUR PET?

Omg ! It is not only unforgetta­ble but also heartbreak­ing, that’s the day he had his first vaccinatio­n. He was sleeping all day and he couldn’t even eat properly that day and he was only 3 months old.
