Description

Merlin passed away last Wednesday morning. He'd been in decline for the last couple months. But at 18-and-a-half, he'd led a pretty good life. He's survived by an ex-girlfriend, Mercia, with who he shared an incredibly public sex life. He was 12 at the time, she was 2.

Beautiful and memorable shot. A fitting tribute to a cat, they always manage to soak up what bit of sun there may be. By the number of images and the length of his life one can tell he was well loved. Blessed be.
