Introducing Merlot

My Other Cat

A few years ago, I was drawn towards plaintive mewing emanating from a tattered cardboard shoebox next to the pillar at the lobby of a friend's (whom I was visiting) apartment.

When I peeked in to investigate, out peered a pair of curious buttony eyes. Then head. feet and tail entirely ginger, followed after. I'd found a companion for Tiny!!

Merlot was inquisitive, playful, often underestimated danger. His pet craze was burrowing into any hole he could find. His favorite holes... that crevice between your legs if you happen to be sitting on the floor cross-legged. Aha!! Only Merlot could get away with such a stunt!

The doe-eyed Bambi look.

Merlot has grown quite alot hasn't he? These are recent photos taken in the cats' bedroom.
