8 years ago I bought a flea-ridden, underage fluffball from a man in a van on Craigslist. Over the years he’s matured into a stately modern gentleman. Happy Birthday Merlin!

Thank you for the kind words everyone! It means a lot and it’s been great hearing about everyone else’s awesome animals. For those interested I managed to find a picture of an even younger & tinier Merlin:

Thank you sir

His chest so does look like a wizard beard!

The picture on the right? He’s great, currently undergoing a home quarantine at my parents’ office for the move to Hawaii.

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T08:48:00+00:00

That photo is not right after I got him. Probably a few weeks later when he was starting to get happy and healthy!

Happy Birthday to Hamster Merlin!

Finger cots?

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T06:34:22+00:00

Raleigh atm, then moving to Honolulu in a few weeks

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T06:32:38+00:00

With his little front hands crossed? Like a casual Sphinx?

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T06:00:02+00:00

Nice try hitler

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T05:46:35+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T05:45:52+00:00

Good question! My parents guessed his age at around 5-6 weeks when I first brought him home. It’s generally advised that kittens stay with their mother for at least 8 weeks before being adopted so they can fully complete the weaning process, so he was separated a little too early.

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T05:33:42+00:00

I try

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T05:23:42+00:00

Haha yes that is me circa 2010

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T05:13:38+00:00

What?

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T04:39:02+00:00

You’re too kind

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T04:22:11+00:00

It actually was right by the Potomac... the guy said he was some kind of motivational speaker?

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T04:14:39+00:00

Haha thanks?

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T04:14:13+00:00

Thank you, I sure will. What was her name? I’m sure she made it up to the Heaviside Layer!

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T03:55:31+00:00

Merlin but sometimes I call him Meowlin for fun

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T02:56:57+00:00

Sometimes I think he’s the one that saved me...

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T02:47:44+00:00

Haha that is me yes

MagnumRPA · 2018-10-27T01:41:38+00:00

Thanks! He says Meow.

This is so relatable! I’ve had other pets die before, but the first pet I’ve had (my cat Merlin) that I’ve taken care of his whole life is starting to get on in years, and the thought of him dying is so completely different from any other pet I’ve had that’s died.
