Well, Merlin has officially hit the 2 lb. mark!

Which the vet said makes him about 1/3 of what he should weight, at his age, but he also thinks he might just be a small cat. Everything is pointing to his being very healthy but he is still too small for vaccinations or neutering. We'll go back in about a month.

He had blood drawn for a feline leukemia test and the vet said Merlin was a very cooperative little patient.

1. Very good, Tiger was a small kitten. That's why I gave him that name. And he's been healthy for a long time.

He is still only about half the size of Patches. They’ve both been neutered. I wanted to post a picture here but post images is not working for me for some reason. It’s giving me a 403 error when I try and upload a photo.

2. Small but mighty.

And mighty cute.

One of our now departed cats was a dainty little lynx point Siamese. The most she ever weighed was 6 pounds. It was almost like having a permanent kitten, which was quite delightful.

3. Mighty Merlin. I like that.

My Pumpkin Pie was a little but tough guy. He always reminded me of James Cagney.

4. He be small, but fierce. I hope you can relax a little bit about him now.

Give him lots of scritches and pets from his adoring aunts and uncles for being so cooperative at the vet's. And a big hug for you from all of us.

5. That's great news!

Hopefully he's just a small cat. My wife and I had a cat named Sassy. She was a tortie and only weighed in at 4 pounds for her entire adult life. She lived until a month shy of what would have been her 23rd birthday. I hope that you and little Merlin have many years of happiness together, along with the rest of the gang.

6. He's a big boy now.
