Just completed a Pet CPR Class, Merlin will be my first 'victim to resuscitate'

Just completed my first Pet CPR class yesterday.  When I got home, Merlin was in rare form.  He kept scratching at my window, in spite of a full bowl of food, and fresh water.  This went on from 4pm to 12 midnight.  Every time I tried to go out there to play with him, he would run, and hide, and when I closed the door, he came back again. I think somebody slipped some drugs to that cat.

Finally I ignored him the rest of the night.  He eventually went home, hopefully to the bowels of hell, where he came from.  I mean, what the f**k is wrong with this cat?  Now I understand why his owner lets him out.  We all know who runs Merlin's household, both his permanent home and my home.

I think that I will be renting Merlin out to people to catch mice.

Merlin has quite the attitude....

Today, I brought Merlin in, to get him out of the cold.  Anyway, the stinkpot, must be in a bad mood.  Buttercup, his girlfriend, came up to greet Merlin and Merlin hissed at Buttercup.  Bugs, decided to defend Buttercup's honor and recieved a hissing of his own.

Unfortunately for Merlin, due to his bad attitude, got banished back to the outdoors.

Bugs and Buttercup were emotionally traumatized and given treats.  Merlin will be cut off from food till he annoys me again at 3am...

Where the hell did the owner of Merlin, get this cat?   Merlin can be quite ungrateful.....

Merlin is an official lap cat, if you can tolerate his weight....

Merlin has finally let me put him on my lap, but he is so big, that he basically flops around my lap that you need  to put a pillow first on your lap, otherwise, he will fall off or break your pelvis.

New milestone with Merlin

As suspected, Merlin comes to visit, half for the food and half for the attention.  He must be eating elsewhere, because he is officially losing his neck.

Lately, he is coming into my apartment, on his own.  He will rub against me, and place himself halfway into the apartment.

Unfortunately, it has to be his idea to come in, go figure.

Re: Reimbursement for feeding Merlin....

Since Merlin has obviously chosen my home as his secondary food source, does that give me the right to get reimbursed from his existing owner, for the food I am spending on him?

Alternatively, if I use pictures of Merlin or if Merlin makes me money, either from photos or a cat show, am I obligated to share part of the revenue with his owner?

Merlin's weird hours.....

Merlin has been coming latey by at 3 am to be fed.  My theory is that he does his business outdoors and decides to visit me for a snack.

You think the owner would wonder why he spends up to 6 hours outside......  Otherwise, he is well taken care of. He has visited me after having his nails clipped, and his fur groomed.

He does hate it when I bring him indoors.  I will post some pics of him indoors.

My personal indoor brats.....

In case you are wondering, Bugs (left) and Buttercup (Right) actually like Merlin and allow him in their apartment.
