Ode to Murph
by Cheryl .........................................
|
He came from a small town in Indiana He thrived at Brighton Meadows growing from energetic kitten - flying through the air no potted plant was safe from his antics... He munched on Friskies and morsels Escaped near death from the microwave (a drunken so called cat hater lets say...) Survived a leap from the balcony at night - looking up at me like how did I get here? Moved to the condo of love Enjoyed bluberry muffins and Roxy the cat across the street! On to White Hill Court and then came Adam the new baby in the house He was calm and regal and laid back in his approach His green eyes took in all and spoke volumes His tail would flip and pound the floor when he had something to say Boxes and bags were his pleasure to explore Catnip made him roll on his side and purr with pleasure Meals were never missed Moved again to Halley View Run such a big yard to explore pine trees to sit in the shade and watch for birds... oh back in the car again where are we going? Clarendon Hills - new territory to explore - Naperville Road he lays in the middle of the hallway - the movers walk around him - willingly! Who's this? Dusty joins the household in 2002 Murph calmly accepts this new member of the household Still regal, still calm, still king.....fur so soft always floating in the air Oxford Street - one more move - no problem - He's the master of adapting Nice yard and patio to sun in, loves a good brushing out here Age is creeping up my gosh where have 19 years gone?? We're moving slower ...napping longer The grey head -still loves to be brushed- his whiskers curl in now His once mammoth 19 pounds is down to a respectable 11 Summer lingers...a fine October A cat with the heart of a giant finally gives in to his age and a body that can't continue any longer Murphy Bonsai Buckmaster Schilling June 30, 1988 - October 24, 2007 RIP my friend I will miss you so much My companion for 19 years.
