Poor Merlin had his first 'trauma'. [View all]

I was rushing around, getting things ready to scramble an egg. I grabbed the small cast iron skillet and closed the cabinet door, not realizing that Merlin had climbed IN to the cabinet. Afterwards I was in the kitchen, doing dishes and putting things away. He didn't make any sound.

When I didn't see him for a while I started calling his name. That's when I heard a frantic meowing but couldn't quite tell from where so I started recalling my steps and then realized where he likely was. His eyes were HUGE. I picked him and and brought him to the den where he climbed up and started making frantic biscuits and LOUDLY suckling on my neck. Those biscuits makers started to hurt so I pulled out a little squeeze treat for him. And then another. Then gave him some wet food.

He will wander off, now, but returns in a few minutes for some more comforting. He has yet to stop suckling and purring.

Poor little wizard!! He's probably going to need a lot of reassurance that he's OK.
