ARTHUR
MERLIN
My name is Arthur, and I am a cat. I was born at the beginning of
May 2002. My litter was taken to the Monroe County Humane Society,
Lollypop Farm, and we were taken care of by some very nice people. When
we were two months old, we were all fixed. The next day, my brother
Merlin and I were adopted by our new Mommy and Daddy. We don't have the
same last names, though. I think my last name is either "NO" or "DOWN",
because they call me "Arthur NO" or "Arthur DOWN" all the time. I think
Merlin's last name is "MOVE".
We like our new house. When we were adopted there were four other
cats for us to play with. There was Smokey, who was a very nice old
lady. Smokey went to Heaven last Spring. And Patches, who we play with
all the time. Shadow is the other boy kitty. He has taught Merlin and
me a whole lot about how to protect the house and watch for creatures
in the back yard. He plays with us sometimes, too, but he's lazy. Then
there is Miss Kitty. She doesn't like us too much so we stay out of her
way.
Mommy and Daddy take good care of us. We get lots to eat, and warm
beds to sleep in, though Mommy and Daddy take up too much room in them.
We play a lot, and love to wrestle. I'm awake a lot more than Merlin,
which is why he weighs 16 pounds and I weigh nine. I think he learned
how to sleep a lot from Shadow.
Mommy plays a good game with me. She throws a little ice cube on the floor
and I chase it. Then I come back and cry until she does it again. Mommy
learned how to play this game really well. Mommy plays the baby game
with Merlin. She puts him in her lap and rubs his tummy until he falls
asleep. Mommy holds us when Daddy clips our nails. Sometimes she holds us and smooches us. We like smooches
Daddy takes care of us, too. He feeds us every morning, and takes us
with him to bed. He helps the vet when he visits. He lets us poke him at night to get petted and sleep on top of him, even on his head sometimes.
We like visitors. We come out to play with nearly all of them. We
especially like the man who delivers the takeout suppers to Mommy and
Daddy. We get a treat after he comes sometimes. Mommy makes sure that
Daddy gives us a little bit of the leftovers.
Here are some pictures of us. We don't have any clothes on. Daddy
says that the Internet has lots of cats without clothes on.
