Merlin is starting to catch on to the whole 'walking' thing [View all]

His belly is rising from the floor and he is definitely becoming pretty mobile.

He is also sleeping longer, between meals. Right now he's snuggled up against my neck but at night he sleeps in his little basket. Well, for MOST of the night.

And GOODNESS did he push out an impressive poop, last night! Fortunately, I was prepared. Let's just say his digestive system seems to be in fine working order.

Today I'm going to put him in the playpen so that he has a nice, flat surface to practice bumbling on. My plan is to leave the opening unzipped and help him to learn how to get out.

Gryff is still the only kid cat who seems fine with the new addition. Carys' behavior is interesting. For some reason, having this kitten in the house seems to have given her a bit more confidence, although I haven't 'introduced' her to Merlin, yet. Madoc and Arthur are a work in progress.
