Well, I don't know how that little guy slipped away from me but yesterday I came home to a message on my answering machine:

I do like my new home Meowmie but when I read about the Catmobile, I couldn't resist. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I spot some pretty looking ladies here - maybe I can find my true love.
Oops, gotta go Meowmie, there calling me and I smell chicken
I'll call you from my next stop and Meowmie, maybe you could get me a Iphone so I could text you........ You'd buy anything for me wouldn't you?? Love you.

...and that was it. I don't know what they have planned for this weekend but I'm sure Merlin will be a good boy indeed.
