My Furbaby Merlin is about to run out of his 9 lives , Recently while matching pairs of socks on the couch I came up with about 6 pairs that did not have a mate, so down to the dryer to check for the missing mate, Nothing hmm so I ask Michael if he took the socks since he seems to think that they are sock puppets no matter who’s socks they are, He denies any involvement . Then as I come back I notice that Merlin is jumping around behind the couch my first instinct is a MOUSE.. so I peer over the edge the little turd has all the missing socks he is making a bed in his basket with the socks, so I pull out the couch to retrieve the socks and he grabs one with his mouth and runs up the stairs with his new found treasure. Mind you I’m not chasing the furry feline up the stairs so I will wait until he next time when he eats to get the socks. Next Danielle is playing with her magnetic alphabet on the fridge spelling out words and such , Merlin comes down the stairs leaps at the fridge knocks all of her letters off, she scolds him and he hides behind me in fear of Attila the Honey as she is quite mad so she runs to her room in tears. I put all the letters back on the fridge and once again he attempts to knock them off only this time I think he is sending me a message as the letters BOO were left . Next I go into the bathroom to put a fresh roll of toilet paper on the toilet paper holder thing and he comes behind me and knocks it down and leaps into the tub with toilet paper attached to his claws, That’s it he is in Kitty time out and no more cat nip for him..

I have even heard my oldest daughter tell Bella secrets and my youngest daughter will dance and sing with her , even my fur baby Merlin loves to “rub” up against it.
