Say Hi to Merlin

Just like Merlin the wizard, Merlin just appeared on our porch and has decided to stay. I can pop him with the broom, stomp my feet at him, yell at him to git and he just rubs my legs and purrs. I've been trying to ignore him for weeks but he just won't go away, so I gave him a name, a bowl of food, and a snuggle and he's as happy as if he were a pampered house cat. He is huge and weighs a ton.
