I have two fur babies.  Connor and Murphy were born in March and the day after they were born, I told my aunt I wanted to adopt them.  Coincidentally, they were inseparable.  They slept together, cuddled, and groomed and my aunt was thrilled that I was taking them both so they would stay together.  They are named after the main characters in my favorite movie, The Boondock Saints.

They're both major cuddle bugs.  Connor, the black one, mostly likes to snuggle with me and he tries to be a little more aloof about it.  Murphy, my orange fuzzball. is the snuggliest, loviest cat I have ever seen.  I'm seriously wondering if he is a very small child who ticked off a witch and was turned into a cat (Hocus Pocus reference).  I'll post a couple pictures of his cuddling style to show you what I mean.

I spoil them as much as is humanly possible.  They just got neutered this morning and I don't get to pick them back up until tomorrow morning so I'm missing them pretty bad at the moment.

I made a gif of a really funny video of them.

Welcome to TCS Alicia88 Alicia88 and Connor and Murphy!

Connor and Murphy are VERY handsome boys [emoji]10084[/emoji]️ I loved all the photos. I always love it when babies get to stay together for their lives. It's a very special bond for them. That is a true gift you have given them.
I bet you are missing them something terrible. They will be home safe and sound before you know it. Neutering is so good for their health and happiness so good for you for ensuring it is done [emoji]128077[/emoji]
Feel free to post as many photos of your boys as you'd like...we love photos here!

I adore them, too.  I don't like my apartment without them.  It's not fuzzy enough.

Hello & Welcome to TCS.

I fell in love with Connor & Murphy when I saw them in your Caption This Picture thread.  They're the sweetest.  

I would be missing them too if they were out of my sight.  I'm glad you get to pick them up today.   I hope all went well with their operations.

I can't wait to hear about more about The Adventures of Connor & Murphy.

All the best - Hope & my gal Chestnut

How about a couple pictures of my "supervisors?"  I conducted surveys at a call center but they're closing and training everyone to work at home.  Same pay, same job, AND I don't have to leave my apartment?  Yes, please!  And the boys keep a close eye on me.

Yes, they are.  Especially Murphy.  He's the neediest cat I've ever met in my life and I wouldn't change him a bit.  Connor is exceptionally loving, too, but Murphy takes it to a whole new level.  It's hard to describe.  I think when God made him, his hand slipped when he was adding the sugar and he dumped the whole bag.  They're the perfect cats and I have to thank my boyfriend for causing me to get Connor.  I've always had a soft spot for black cats and he's always liked orange cats.  Murphy was the only orange one in my aunt's litter, but there was also a black female.  At first, I wanted her, but my boyfriend said he was going to name the orange one Murphy.  We both love "The Boondock Saint."  It's my favorite.  Well, I figured if we were going to have a Murphy, then we needed a Connor, too.  So I got the male instead.  And my aunt already had them used to their names by the time they came home with me.  Best decision I ever made.  And, it ended up working out really well because Connor and Murphy were inseparable.  My aunt told me that if my boyfriend and I ever broke up, I'd better keep both cats.  I told her that went without saying.  I would never let either of them go, for any reason.

Conducting surveys can be a huge pain in the butt.  Some people are incredibly stupid and some are just ridiculously rude.  The surveys I do would take 30 seconds to a minute if they would just answer the two questions.  For every survey I have where the respondent was cooperative and not idiotic, I have 6 difficult calls.  So, petting a purring kitty helps keep me from getting really irritated and it's much easier to avoid telling people to go step on a lego.  Which would get me fired.  And then I wouldn't be able to buy cat toys.  Or pay rent.  LOL

Excellent!  What better gig could there be than working at home with beloved cats?  That's what I do, too, but I'm volunteer.  I wish I could get a bona fide at-home gig like that! *sigh*

You can.  They employ people all over the country and in some other countries.

You don't have to do any sales.  It's all surveys.  Pretty easy.  I'm currently making $8.65 an hour, which isn't a lot, but enough to live on where I live.

They are so cute!  The way they wrap their tails together really shows their love.  They also love you so much!  And they are so cuddly!

HI:  I love the pictures.  It makes me sad to think that many people do not know how loving cats can be and they add so much to our lives.

I have a rescue cat only 2 months and I adore him.  His name is Sushi.  Loving and cuddly.  Part Siamese  - He is not an escape artist and was very weak and thin when they found him on the street.  I think someone threw him out.  Anyway, he is my perfect cat as well.  

You said they were your aunt's cats?  They knew you already?  

Isn't it lovely to have them snuggle at night with you?  Sushi mostly sleeps on my pillow above my head the rests his body on my head - so sweet.
