Merlin has now perfected the art of playing fetch

He has these little plastic coil toys that he absolutely loves. One day he walked up to me and dropped it right at my feet. I gave it a toss, and the game was on. He trots back and either drops it at my feet or right in to my hand. Sometimes Madoc tries to get in on the chase but he's no match for that little house panther.

Merlin has also started following me around the house. He just keeps getting sweeter.

that she claims as "hers and ONLY hers!" It's a helicopter type thing. I push the button and the top helicopters off, down the hallway through the air and she races as fast as she can after it. She has gotten to the point where she just sits there where it lands, and waits for me to come pick it up and do it again. I've tried teaching her to bring it back to me, but she either doesn't understand, or (more likely) considers that beneath her! (LOL)

She knocks the ball off the arm of the couch and I go get it and bring it back to her so she knock it off and I can go get it again and so on and so on.

Merlin is the sweetest little wizard in the world, although I imagine he's not so little anymore. What a treasure he is! All your kid cats are treasures and I'm so glad you've taken us along on your journey with them!
