Murkin is always patient when Thomas O'Malley Flufferpants needs attention. Or when his kittens feel especially loving. Or even when he has to defend his personal space.

My favorite Murkin video is when he plays fetch in the carefullest, tail-waggingest, patientest way possible.

Based on her choice of Thomas O'Malley Flufferpants, I want this lady to name all of my future pets. Based on her choice of Murkin, I don't want her naming any of my future pets. Maybe I should only ask her to name my future cats?

OK, kittens, you're cute and all, but a) you are going to put out that dog's eyes if you keep up like that, and licking his fur will give you a hairball like you won't believe!

That dog's eyes hold within them the wisdom and patience of someone a thousand years old.

That last video is incredibly adorable, but I muted it and substituted their soundtrack with something more intense. Fun fact: this song works with every video of cats or kittens fighting.

I like that Murkin and Mr. Flufferpants match the carpet.

Also works well with this.

Indeed there's a deep, soulful, look in his eyes. The wisdom of the ages? No, I think that he's deeply, profoundly, existentially, embarrassed of his name.

Or simply worried in what form he'll be reincarnated.

They often get that look between the anus-licking and the rolling in garbage.

*sigh* Murkin has hobbit feet. And the kitten who tried to groom Murkin's tail had me all awwwwww

Have we all also watched Murkin going for a drive wearing his doggles? Because I think it's important to know that Murkin leads a well-rounded life that's not just all kittens all the time. Sometimes it is also finding the correct speed and angle for maximum ear-flight.

It's impressive how well that dog plays the invisible banjo.

Damn that song "It's A Beautiful Day" is pretty cool.

And my cat will love on ANYONE, even the neighbor's dog that doesn't realize he's a cat and keeps failing to mount him. (My cat will love on him until the abortive mounting attempt, then smack him (Not happy about it, but he's declawed or I would have had to kick him out to live where I do now) until he stops trying, then back to the loving and playing. Wash, rinse, repeat.)

Thanks for the good morning post.

Murkin has that look in his eyes because he knows what his owner has been crafting from the hair he sheds.

Is it possible to stalk a dog? Because thanks to this thread, I have watched Murkin for an unhealthy amount of time, more viewing than anything else I've ever watched on youtube. And now I'm wondering where he lives. And how secure the house is. I want him!
