Mooi Merlijn (handsome Merlin)!

Hi Merlijn!
For several reasons I am very happy to see you greeting us this morning! :D

First of all, you are very beautiful :) , and you could be a twin of my very first beloved cat Hercule, who is at the rainbow bridge now, and who made me know and love cats so much for the rest of my life! :) When I saw you I immediately thought about Hercule.

Second of all, we are neighbours! I am French but I work in The Netherlands (Utrecht), and I am very happy to say hi to a Dutch cat this morning!

You have found a good family and it seems you are perfectly happy with your brother and sister cats, and humans! So, it makes my day :D :D

Congratulations for being COTD, gefeliciteerd Merlijn, poesje van de dag! :) :)

Your humans should join the Pet Talk, we don't have regular Dutch PT'ers! ;)

Kusje en knuffel mooi Merlijn! :)

Hello to a beautiful Merlijn! Hey, of course you are gorgeous, you come from MY country,Belgium ;) ! You are a lovely tuxedo, and I am happy you were chosen as our Cat of the Day!
Yes, like Sonia said: tell your humans to join Pet Talk; it would be great to have more Dutch speaking people here :)

Dikke knuffel vanuit België, mooie Merlijn!! (big hug from Belgium, beautiful Merlin)

Merlijn, you are gorgeous! It sounds like you're a great fly catcher! Congratulations on COTD! Have a special day! :)

Merlijn, not only are you very handsome, but you are a rather loving fellow as well!! I am quite sure that your mom, Arthur, and little Sophia greatly appreciate your keeping them neat and clean!!! Have a great day playing and grooming your housemates, feline and human!! HAPPY COTD!!!!

Merlijn,

You are truly magic! :) You could be the twin of our handsome Tux, since you do everything that he does, including his special favourite, the tummy rub ;) . It was lovely to see your photo, and I hope you bring joy to your lucky owners for many years to come! Sending you head-butts and mrows from our Tux, Chloe and Smokey in Canada :cool:

Hello, Merlin! My little Zerlina asked me to tell you that as soon as she wakes up from her early-afternoon nap, she'd like to go online and discuss fly hunting with you. At least... that's what she SAYS she wants to discuss.

Hi Handsome!! You are a cute little "washing machine". Congratulations on being COTD!

What a beautiful boy! So glad to hear you have found a wonderful home and a family to take care of! Bessings!

He's a washing machine AND a loving machine. Good to see such a sweet cat found a happy home. Congratulations.

Hi Merlijn, you sure are a handsome cat! I am new to these postings, but have been looking at them for a long time now. Congratulations to all the past COTD's!

What a handsome boy you are, dear Merlijn!:) Dan took the words right out of my mouth! Love machine, washing machine and bug busting machine..now that's what I call the consummate kitty!:D And while all of your charming attributes are most impressive, I think I'm most taken with that sweet, mushy side of your purrrsonality:) Even fursibs Arthur and Sophia think you're the "cat's meow!":) What a joy you are to your family, precious Merlijn! We are honored to have made your acquaintance and crown you Pet Talk's most handsome, sweet and loving Cat of the Day! Congratulations to you sweetheart! Hope you and your family are enjoying a very special, love filled day:) Hugs and purrrs to you from me and my boys Mr. B and Oliver!:)

Merlijn, you are a very handsome tuxedo cat! Your nose very much resembles that of my kittyboy Spotnose. He has a face "that only a mother could love" whereas you are so very handsome that everyone has fallen in love with you. You certainly keep busy all day with washing and chasing flies, and saving plenty of energy for loving. I hope you had a great day as our honored COTD, Merlijn.

Melin sweetheart, I hope you had the most wonderful day as Cat of the Day!! It was such a pleasure to read all about you and how helpful and loveable you are. :D I hope your day was full of good things!

Mew, Hi Merlijn,

Well now, is that typical or what? A itty bitty Dutch kitty who is very clean :D

Merlijn, we visited our Dutch cousins in April and one thing we loved about The Netherlands is that pussycats are everywhere! We loved the coffee shops where the resident cat joined us for some purring and petting.

Even though you had to emigrate from Belgium with Arthur, you are a true blue Dutch kitty with a secret identity: The Washing Machine Cat!

Celebrate with Arthur, kitten Sophia and your humans, dear Merlijn! You are a very handsome tuxedo cat.

We send you, Arthur and Sophia 100,000 kisses and hugs...
