Murchyk is a name of our cat. "Murchyk" is created from a word "Murr" which means "Purr" in Ukrainian, so Murchyk is a very common name for a cat in Ukraine. Our family is Ukrainian-Canadian and our Murchyk cat is bilingual - he is purring in both languages, Ukrainian and English :) Well, this blog is not only about him - it's about all the Murchyks in the world: cats, kittens and kitties, purring and meowing darlings and sweeties...
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!
It is nice to start something new for Christmas! So, here we are, another two cat persons, which are joining a huge army of cat bloggers worldwide. I am Maria, an author of this blog, and my husband’s name is Ron. We are happy Ukrainian-Canadian family and we live in Canada. We got a cat, his name is Murchyk - please take a look above for the blog description, what does Murchyk mean.
In this blog we will talk not about our cat only, but about everything what is connected to cats: pictures, videos, tips how to take a better care about your furry purring sweetie (sweeties) etc.
So, as we started before the Christmas, we want to share with you something Christmassy about cat’s world. In this case – about our Murchyk’s world. Our cat is indoor-outdoor cat and he is absolutely okay with winter. He is very curious about snowy weather and about everything which is connected to a snow, like shoveling snow:
And our Murchyk is having quite a fun in a snowfall:
Well, it is not that much fun, when he is coming in with all
those snowballs stuck to his furry belly and leaving wet marks all over the
place. In this case I normally take him to the bathroom and let those snowballs
to melt, because it is impossible to remove them from his fur right away,
especially if it was a humid weather outside and snow got wet.
But, anyway, it is fun – as I am a cat person, everything
what is connected to my beloved kitty is fun. And every time, looking at his
winter pictures, I am getting into a Christmas spirit. I hope, you too!
Your comments and messages are welcome. P.S. I completely forgot - I have a video of our Murchyk which I took on the same snowy day! Here it is, hope you enjoy it like our furry sweetie was enjoying a snow and snowflakes:
