Fund raising Merl...

Lovely pics! He looks so ravishing.

And how well-behaved he is with all those strangers 'pawing' him.
What a great idea to charge 50p a cuddle. I hope your husband's self esteem didn't suffer too much.

What a fantastic idea, hope you raised lots for the CPL!

How good is Merl though ... if our Gracie & the Monster were in on the action there'd be just pictures of an empty bed, shredded wrapping paper, half chewed ribbons and disgruntled customers demanding their 50p back for the cuddles that didn't materialise!!!

They would want a refund for Louie messing up hair do's

That's so cute - what a well behaved lad Merl is! You wouldn't see Freyja for dust, she'd dive under the table and hide until it was peaceful. Wicca would lull people into a false sense of security by laying in the bed, bleating in this endearing little way for a cuddle, and then quick as a flash, you'll missing an earring/ large chunk of hair/ earlobe/ eyeball (only if not wearing glasses, obviously)/ and wondering when the lovely little creature in the bed was replaced by the Anti-Cat.
Wish I lived near Norfolk, I'd have happily donated 50p to give Merl a cuddle

What a star Merl is and how laid back is he!!

I guess his stand was the most visited given he was there looking handsome I would not have been able to resist him, I am amazed no one tried to catnap him I'm sure I would have tried to hid him under my coat

One little thing they dropped the "L" some time ago I found this out when being involved in a deal they were doing with one of my suppliers and made the mistake of putting that in an email..whoops

But well done Merl.

Well done Merl, you are a star !!!! next year you should charge a £1, so well worth it for a cuddle with him

That's very impressive Jackie, wonderful that he is content to sit tight and soak up the admiration! As other posters have said, not many cats would do this! I hope your stall did well for the CP. Is that you in the red jumper, btw?
