A photo of my Wonderful Wizard Merlin the Magnificent, exactly 1 year ago today

Getting cuddles from his new mom. He was about a month old and oh so tiny. I'm so thankful that I found him.

I feel like he's been part of your kid cat clowder forever. 😻

Those first few months when we worried over that tiny bundle. A year old now! 🥳
