My freaky multi-toed mog this morning demonstrated a new skill - after playing chase with a piece of screwed up paper he then used his opposable thumb to pick it up in one paw and lift it to his mouth. He then jumped on the bed, dropped it from his mouth and proceded to pick it up again in the same way. He kept doing this, transferring it from his paw to his mouth and looking terribly pleased with himself!
I know he's freaky anyway with his big thumbs but actually grasping at something and picking it up with one paw and deliberatly transferring it to his mouth just fascinated me! Next stage in evolution or what!
Anyway just had to share - i was lying on the bed laughing at him and he was looking at me with a look which said "look what I can do Mum?!" It was so funny I was late to work!
They are gorgeous - Merlin particularly - I'm a sucker for a long haired mog. She looks extremely comfortable - lady of the manor with a "feed me grapes now - slave" look on her face!
