Merlin never learned to say Meow

[WhiteTara]

the only sound he can make is eeh. And because of this he was locked into the basement for the last two days! Finally, after frantically calling him to come home, I looked down the stairway and saw his little shadow on the glass door. He's home and I'm relieved.

1. Excellent, I know how that feels

[WhiteTara]

2. Of course I had all sorts of senarios that were terrible

and there he was, safe and sound, locked inside.

3. I have two grown siblings that don't meow.

What they gave up in voice, they make up for in purring.

[WhiteTara]

4. Yes, both Merlin and Houdini are great at purring

Neither knows how to say meow. Picabo can't purr but can meow loudly! I love their variations on being cats.

5. Two days. You must have been in 😱 panic mode.

Explain to Merlin that he needs to work on his ‘eehs’. Like loud, louder, loudest!

[WhiteTara]

8. I need to remember that he's like greased lighting and

make sure he hasn't slipped through when I'm walking in. I had work to do downstairs and left the door open and forgot that he was so intent on going through any door at the speed of light.

6. You must've been terrified!

Then happily relieved!

I, too, have a kit kid sho sort of sqeeks rather than meowing & he's been inadvertently locked in bathroom & my home office because of it..

Poor furkuds.

Glad he is safe & sound!

7. thanks. Several months ago, his brother, Houdini

got locked in somewhere far from home and I spent almost 2 weeks mourning his loss, so now I'm particularly sensitive to this. Merlin is so happy to be home that he is overly needy and wants to be held constantly in between turns at the food bowls. lol

9. So glad he is home safe!

10. Poor little dumpling !!!

[WhiteTara]

11. He's really my skinny mini and his brother Houdini

is my chunky monkey! lol I love them both.

12. I'm probably the only one who read this as "because he couldn't meow, we locked him in the basement..."

Glad to learn that I was totally misguided!!!

[WhiteTara]

13. that made me laugh out loud!

that's what he gets!

[erronis]

14. Glad you didn't think I was a nasty old m*n!

[WhiteTara]

15. who knew that was a choice?!

I have such a dark sense of humor, the weirdest things make me laugh and that really did. Learn to meow or get stored in the basement until you do! lol
