MERLIN
THE MAGIC CAT
5 Kittens were born.  A siamese color persian, A black fluffy thing, a fluffy calico and two of the most gorgeous reds - Merlin and his twin.  They were identical in every way, except their personalities.  And Merlin knew me from the start. I picked him out when he was a few hours old and twice a week, I would go and visit him @ my friend's house.  He couldn't help but know me and Lynn couldn't help but let me have him. The next thing was to convince my husband that we needed a cat.  I didn't have my work cut out for me - Merlin did his thing and next thing I knew he had my husband wrapped around his wiskers.  Here are some photographs of my beautiful baby. 
A Tiny Munchkin
Merlin used to spend a lot of time in my lovely sunny and warm office and when he was small he used to creep into one of my filing pigeon holes and go to sleep there.  This is a photo of him lying on top of some paperwork - can you wonder I did not get much work done when he was around.  All I wanted to do was love him and cuddle him and listen to him purr. 
I think he was trying to hunt the mouse
He loved sitting with me when I worked.  He would curl up on my lap and sing (purr) to me and every now and then he would reach out a paw and touch my hand and when I bent down to give him a kiss, he would touch my face with his paw.  Sometimes when I picked him up, he would curl his paws around my neck and it always seemed as tho he were giving me a squeeze. 
Merlin used to sleep in the bedroom with us.  Sometimes he would creep in and snuggle in my arms and other times when he was too hot, he would sleep on my pillow curled around my head and purring in my ear like a little engine - I don't think his motor ever stopped running for me.  Sometimes when he was sitting or sleeping across the room from me, I would call him and he would open one eye and give me a little purr/growl as if to say - "I'm still here for you"
