Merlot rules the house. As you can see from her picture she decides when to eat, where to sit, and what to play with. She is a 'human' locked into a cat's body.

Like our dogs, Sutter and Shiraz, Merlot was an unwanted kitten we brought home. Originally she was going to be a 'barn cat' to help control mice. She's never made it to the barn, and besides, she doesn't like the horses. 

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain
