Merkat when she was just a wee younger and discovering.... the cat tree! She has only gotten stronger as she gets older...she's 2 now. Her front legs are sooo strong from being her primary mobility methods!!

I have mad kitty skilz. I can scale the kitty tree like nobody's biz and watch you all below me. It also is no big deal to me that the other cat is twice my size....I run along beside him, put my paw up over his neck and take him down! Handiwhat? I am not!

Mama hasn't posted in awhile. Here are a bunch of photos of me causing mischief, being curious kitty and having sleepy nite nite time. Look how cute I am!!

I'm bigger now and lost a lot of my darker color. Now I am more orangey with all my 25 toes and big paws!! I love to watch the birdies and little bits of things flurry in the wind on the balcony. I also love to attack my mommy and daddy's toes when they are in bed. Heeheehee.

Merkat was born with hind-quarter scoliosis and malformed back paws but it doesn't keep her down. She's our hero and an inspiration - watch her fly!

This is Merkat when she was a baby, scurrying around our sofa with her mertail. Too cute!

Mom and Dad got me a flying red bug for Xmas! (Shhh, don't tell her - it's really a lazer pointer ;P ) This is the most fun since those flies that I love to catch! Meow meow meow! I'm super fast - but I still can't catch that red bug - dangit!

I get around pretty well right now b/c I 'm a young sprite and pretty strong. Daddy says I have a front chest like a bulldog! Grrr! When I'm older, it may be harder for me though so Mom and Dad are looking into what treatment, surgery, etc. may help me to be more easily abled so it's easier for me in when I'm an older sprite :)

If you're wondering how I got my name...It's because I'm a merkitty - my back foot fishtails behind me when I run - like a fish or mermaid...and I am speedy like Speedy Gonzalez!! I have also several personalities so I may be related to the 7 dwarves...sometimes I am Sleepy, Snuggley, Bitey, Goofy and of course, Speedy! :)
