Merlin the Mighty Tiger































>>>>> Its been a hot summer and the farm is experiencing an adjitating rat and rabbit infestation. Those little mites bounce around the place as if they run it and relentlessly chew away at the garden, the compost heap and anything plastic.... Given that its the
Year of the Rat
in less than a month (you may access the soundtrack here http://www.badlydrawnboy.co.uk/tracklisting/07.html) and then the Year of the Rabbit will soon follow in 1211, all the signs point to the fact that a CAT, a very boisterous, scheming, ruthless CAT at that, must come to our rescue >>>>>

I have no doubt that this sweet little guy will grow up to be the Roaring Rat Ripper that we hope for him to be one day.
Merlin the Mighty Tiger - why such a name? Merlin is my favourite Big Brother 04 Australia character. Inspiring, courageous, passionate, artistic, deep, sensitive, thinking, and true to his mind. He is undoubtedly a champion of my generation and I'd like our cat to remind all GenY'ers and Z'ers that life is much more than just 'me-me-me', even though it might be the only thing the cat says all day. Expectedly Dad insisted as well that our tiny little boy needs a very loud name to shock the rodents, and hence a larger than life kind of branding has been crowned to him. But all this is getting way too mouthful, so its just Tiggy for the time being.



















(Watch the space for Tiggy's first meeting with Billy the Bulimic Goat, and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of fun with paperball)
