I first off just want to thank everyone for the advice that everyone gave me about Merlin. I went home Friday night and put a collar with a note on him. The note gave my name, address and just asked if Merlin belonged to someone. On Sunday afternoon I had a knock at my door and this lady with her son was standing there. She asked if this was my collar...seems the note fell off.

To make a long story short....Merlin lives 4 houses up from me with 5 other kitties. His name is really Cosmo. She said she got allnervous when he came home with a collar on him, she was afraid that I was going to take him away when we moved.

I asked how she knew it was me that put the collar on him and she said she knew that I had cats and she had seen him in our yard several times.

So Merlin or should I say Cosmo has a home and only come to see me when he wants some attention, food or to frolic in my bird garden.
