Day 171: No foolin', today is Merry's first birthday! It's hard to believe that he was just a little "teacup cat" not so long ago. In fact, when I brought him home last June, he was still so small, I could hold him in my two cupped hands. I put him on the scale this morning...15.2 pounds, and still not into his full growth. And such a silly he is! Every day, he makes me laugh, sleeping on his back with all four legs out to the points of the compass, coming at me all sideways-walkin'-Hallowe'en-cat, insisting on toothbrushing and face-washing, cuddling in my arms, getting tickled. And he is very much his own person, and quite a character at that! He's still an early teen in human years, still testing the limits and boundaries, still inquisitive and anxious to learn about anything and everything. What a dear companion you are, my little Merry-cat! Happy birthday!
