All of cats were in bed with Mom having our treats last night when we heard very loud caterwauling in our back yard! Mom looked out the window, and in the dark, she could see Merle and Lucifer having a "conversation". There was some whappy paws and then Merle took off!
When Mom walked past Mary's with Cinnamon this morning, she saw Merle eating his breakfast. She remembered that she had not gotten a shot of him when he came home from the vets and his sojourn at Boundary Helping Hands recovering from antibiotics. And she asked him of she could take his picture.
Of course, he said.
Merle lives in the shop behind him. He was having his breakfast "el Fresco" this morning. He says he did not like being cooped up inside but he does like being able to come and go and sleep where he wants.
Mom asked him what he was doing fighting with Lucifer in our back yard last night and he said Lucifer is still an intact male and had not yet realized that he, Merle was not. Lucifer wanted a fight and Merle says he does not feel like it any more. And that is what he was telling Lucifer.
The lump he had on his face and head from the infection is totally gone and he has been enjoying the sunshine, his new bed in the shop and the noms that Mary gives him. He is also starting to make furrends with us, Mrs S's Blackie and Mary's other 3 cats.He's actually a nice guy now that he does not want to chase us out of his territory any more.

we hope it will help to prevent fights... and Merle can enjoy his breakfast in the morning without having a hard night...
Merle is a handsome boy. It looks like he is wearing lipstick in the first photo. I am glad Lucifer will soon have the snip too.
I really like Merle, even though he seems to have gone through a lot of battles!
Happy Wordless Wednesday, Marv!
Oh Merle has such a cute face....glad he's doing well and has a comfy spot in the shop and steady food. I think he's had a tough enough life - it's time for the GOOD LIFE!
Hugs, Pam
Very good news when people take care of our outdoor kitties and see to it that they are spayed or neutered. Too many baby kittens don't forget to grow up and be healthy when they're born in the wild like that. Your mom got some great pictures of Merle thanks for showing them to us.
Oh boy, a cat fight! Our kitties fight sometimes too, but nothing serious. Be careful about mentioning the upcoming "snip". Kitties know when something is up and he may be hard to capture on that day! He is a good looking kitty.

Well it is lovely to meet Merle and hear how he is doing... here's to Lucifer joining the neighbourhood circle with less hiss and spit soon enough! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
What a happy thing for us this morning to learn Lucifer is going to the Vet for neutering! And that Merle is doing so well npw. XX
There will be a lot less fighting, when all of those 'guy' hormones are gone, for sure!
Oh those conversations can be intense. I hope in a couple of well all the kitties will be calm and get along. I so remember the fights.
I always love seeing Marv. I love Marv.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Marv and a big hug to mom. ♥
Nice to meet you, Merle!
MOL Lucifer's name says it all.
Merle is a handsome fella

Merle seems like a nice guy. We know Lucifer will be too when he get his "snip."
M and L ... manhood missing and looking to lose.
We are glad to see Merle and we're glad he is doing okay!
Merle is a cutie and I'm glad there was just a yowl-off and not a fight. I'm glad Lucifer is getting his snip, that should certainly make the nights more peaceful. Marv you look adorable in your picture today!
What an agitated adventure. I hope everything get back to normal!
Happy WW!
It was really great seeing Merle and hear that he is doing so well. Darn Lucifer will be alright after he gets his, um, parts, removed. That sure makes living so much easier. Purrs friends
What a handsome boy you are, Merle. We hope that you and Lucifer can get along once the snipping happens.

I'm glad Lucifer is going in for his neuter soon!
I had a great time taking care of Merle while he was at the rescue. He has such a terrific disposition and was always up to hang out and get as many pets as he could. Here's hoping that the Lucifer/Merle feud will soon be a thing of the past!
We are happy to hear that Merle is doing better, and we hope all goes well for handsome Mr. Lucifer with the big snip.

It's great news about Merle, and i hope Lucifer calms down once he gets his snip.
Merle is a cutie. I hope someone will get Lucifer TNR'd. XO
Glad to see you, Merle!
Merle looks like a nice guy. I’m glad he’s doing better. And that’s good news about Lucifer getting snipped soon. Then he won’t want to fight anymore. ~Ernie
Looks like Merle has found a good home and knows it!
OMC! Merle is so handsome but not like you Marv. He looks like a member of my posse. I'm so glad he's fixed up and has somewhere warm to go. Hope to see more of him.
We are so glad that Merle is doing so well! We hope Lucifer settles down after he gets neutered, too.
That is one of the best cat pictures I have ever seen.
Thanks for visiting us! Merle is a terrific guy.
Merle, you are healing well and that face is priceless! You found a wonderful place to and some great humans!

Merle is clearly very serious!
Lucifer might get to be a good furend of all you neighbourhood kitties one of these days, too. Wouldn't that be great?
Charlee: "Merle does look like he has a thing or two to say!"
Chaplin: "We are sure the boy cats will get everything worked out. I mean, I'm such a reasonable fellow, I'm sure you all will be too."
Charlee: "Uh-huh. Yeah. You're the epitome of diplomacy, Chaplin."
