Murchyk's First Real Interest in a Big Screen - Video

Well, hello everyone! It has been a while since I posted something here. Now it is about time - our Murchyk the cat made our movie night!

My husband and I were watching a nature documentary. Our Murchyk the cat was watching with us as always. Well, he is not normally watching - he is mostly sleeping all our movie nights. But last night he got unexpectedly excited of this nature documentary. He seems really interested what this Big Kitty (a snow leopard) is doing on a screen. Our movie night end up watching not as much of documentary - we were amazed how our cat is reacted on it. Of course, we started filming this reaction on a video, which we are sharing with you now. Hope you have as much fun watching our beloved kitty as we did:

Candace’s Cats

In a previous story you read about my friend Candace’s cat-related arts and crafts; now it’s time for you to get to know Candace’s cats!

Oh, they are so handsome, beautiful, and sweet, and cute, and smart ones! I was babysitting Candace’s cats once, for a week, so I learnt a lot about them.

So, meet Panther, here he is:

Panther is 11 years old black male. Actually, he is the oldest one in this cat family, but I would say, he looks almost the youngest :) Maybe it is because he is black :) Maybe it is because he is fuzzy :) Maybe it is because he is very independent cat and he found his special way of living in our mountains country, wisely balancing between local wildlife and homesteading. Panther is not “kissy-kissy” (or “catsy-catsy”) type of cat; as I told you, he is independent fellow, but he loves his human family so much and he cannot imagine his life without Candace, her husband Ron and their sons Jon and Zack.

Next cat male in the family is Jessy. He is 6 years old white-grey kitty-cat:

Jessy is more domesticated; he is listening (almost always) what his human friends tell him to do, like, “eat”, “come home”. Jessy only one in his cat family can drink a water directly from a tap! Really cute!

Also Jessy like to socialize with next cat in Candace’s home – Miley:

Miley is fuzzy female, approximately the same age with Jessy, so they are one “generation”, I would say – that’s probably why Jessy and Miley are buddy-buddy. Oh, and Miley is the one talking cat! Every her "meow" sounds in different way and full of some certain meaning, like "I am hungry", "Rub my belly", "Let me out" etc. Yes, all the cats in Candace's house are indoor-outdoor ones, which means, they know a taste of healthy fresh air and cat's freedom, but they also remember very well, where is their home. 

Another cuteness living in Candace's house is 7 months old multi-colored female Poose. I don’t have picture of her so far; but I will photograph her, definitely – he is oh soooo cute! Not because she is still a kitten, by age, but because of her very interesting personality.

So, that’s about it about Candace’s cats so far. More stories to come!

Cats on Easter Eggs

Getting ready for Easter, I have found something that made my cat person’s soul smile :) As I am Ukrainian, and our cat is carrying a Ukrainian name Murchyk, and as Easter is about Easter Eggs, I've spotted something that has all three in one: Ukrainian, Easter Egg and a cat! I am talking about amazing painted Ukrainian Easter Eggs with cats on it – an art from Becky. She lives in Pennsylvania, USA. Becky is making Ukrainian Easter Egg, I would say, all her life, since she was a schoolgirl. Among traditional Ukrainian patterns on eggs, Becky likes to create some very unusual pictures and images on eggs. Like this one – a cat-angel that she created back in 1998:

Or this one, that Becky has made, actually, to a Valentine’s Day and named it Purrfect Love:

What an art! I am totally in love with those cute kitties on eggs and they are definitely getting me into the Easter spirit!

And I am also very pleased to know that Becky is a bighearted cat person – a one of us, cats’ friends!

Our Murchyk the Cat is Playing with a Little Icicle

That's what our Murchyk the cat is doing waiting for a spring break - chasing a little icicle :) All the fancy schmancy cat toys he got are nothing for him if he sees tiny-winy little icicle outside :) Then he asks out and... let's the real fun begin!

Babies and cats: so cute and funny and full of love!

Our Murchyk Cat and Boxes – Inspired by Maru

Watching a one of my favorite cat videos - Maru is playing with boxes (Maru is a Scottish Fold cat from Japan; he is a one of the most famous cats on YouTube) – I was thinking: wait, it’s seem to me that I have a picture of my Murchyk cat, doing the same thing, when he was a kitten! So, I looked through my archives and I found it! Yes! My beloved Murchyk is playing with a Zrii box, here is the picture:

Well, Murchyk is a big cat now, he is one and half years old and he is very furry (most likely, he is a Main Coon), but I still curios if he is going to fit in one of those boxes. So, Murchyk, let’s try!

And he did, and he still fit! Yay! I couldn’t believe it! So, here is a picture I took just recently – Murchyk is playing with a soda box:

And here is a video. Hope you enjoy it and… thanks to Maru for the inspiration!

Meet Maru – One of the Most Famous Cats on YouTube

I have to share with you this video of Maru, which is one of my favorite cat videos on YouTube:

Maru is a cat from Japan and he made to the Top 10 of the most famous cats on YouTube, according to the MotherNature Network. This particular video of Maru which I put in my YouTube favorites about three years ago, already got more then 12 millions views. I love Maru – he is such a darling cat!

Beautiful Cat and a Beautiful Girl

Meet Ira. She is a beautiful girl from Ukraine and a daughter of my best friend Olya. Ira is such a big cat person, just like I am. Here, she is with one of the cats she like so much! The name of the cat is Buck and he is a cat of Ira’s friend:

Ira dreams about her own cat, but so far she cannot have it – she lives in a city condo, and it is not a very convenient to keep a cat in a condo. In a future, when Ira will get a house of her dream, she is for sure will have a cat or two, she said. Right now she has few cats in countryside, in her Grandma’s home. Every visit to the Grandma Ira is having fun playing with her cats and taking pictures of them. Oh! And Ira promised to share some pics and stories of her kitties here, at Murchyks blog. Thanks Ira!

Cats and Dogs: Buddy-Buddy, Kissy-Kissy…

Sometimes cat and dog can be amazingly friendly to each other, especially when they live under the same roof, like these two on a video below. So, meet Romeo cat and Chico dog. They both from Alberta and they live with our friend’s family for many years:



Here are some more videos about cat and dog’s friendship/love. As you can see, it’s possible :)

Hello Tiggers!

I couldn’t resist sharing with you pictures of Tigger – he is a cat of our friends from England. Tigger is three years old now; here are few photographs of him, when he was a kitten. I would say, when he was a kitten he could compete for the title of the cutest kitten ever! Look at these big eyes and a precious mouth outline:

Hello to all the cats in the world whose name is Tigger! Here is another sweetie I love very much – he is a cat of our friends from Northern Alberta. He is not a young fellow – he is more than 10 years old. I love him so much! He is one of the sweetest cats I ever seen in my life, here he is:

P.S. If you would like to share some pictures of your cat, you are always welcome to upload them to our Murchyks Facebook page - with link to your site or blog. 

Cats Can: Talk, Play Piano, Boxing etc

Three my favorite YouTube videos about cats I would like to share with you today – a boxing cat

and a cat practicing piano

and two talking cats.

Well, I was always dreaming that my Murchyk cat would do something unusual, I will take a video of it, and my cat will be a YouTube star. But… Time goes by; my furry sweetie grew up from a little kitten to a big cat and… still did not do anything that much funny that would worth taking video of. Well, expect, maybe, playing with a remote control. But I was not fast enough to take a video of it – well, at least I got a picture, here is our Murchyk picking up channels on TV:

Thanks for reading and watching, and I still hope my cat will do something very excited and will be on YouTube one day!
