Daisy, who was adopted when she was just a kitten from Cats’ Aid in Ireland, has always been a bit reserved. Although she loves her dad so much and relies on him to be her greatest friend and protector, she is not always a fan of meeting new people or animals.
“She always wants to crawl onto my lap or sleep on the bed beside me when she gets a chance to,” Will Murphy, Daisy’s dad, told The Dodo.
Daisy loves to spend time playing outside in her yard, and as a result, she’s attracted a lot of attention from the male cats around the neighborhood. Whenever she’s inside, minding her own business, her gentlemen callers like to come around and wait for her at the windows — but Daisy has absolutely zero interest.
Murphy said, “Daisy doesn’t like any of them. “When they call around seeking for her, that’s the only time I ever see her upset or irritated.”
One of the group’s most tenacious members is a cat that Murphy has given the moniker Silken Thomas. He is a highly outgoing and sociable person who enjoys hanging out by the window waiting for Daisy, who won’t acknowledge him.
Murphy made the decision to walk outside and give Thomas a sharp talking-to one day as he was moaning at the window as usual. He made an effort to convince Thomas that his daughter Daisy had no desire to date him.
Thomas argued back as Murphy sought to reason with the obstinate cat…
… and eventually got a little angry at Murphy for refusing to let him date his daughter.
“He did get a little aggressive and gave a few playful nips to my hand but I’ve had cats nearly all my life so I’m used to getting [the] odd scratch/bite from them,” Murphy said.
Murphy made it obvious, yet Thomas will still return time and time again, and Daisy will keep ignoring him. Fortunately, Thomas is rather adorable, and Murphy adores lavishing him with attention and hugs — despite the fact that he simply doesn’t seem to get the message about Daisy.
