The rest of you, take a pass or prepare to be bored.
Merlin - Day 1 and 2:
Saturday night when we brought him (a confirmed "him") in, he was pretty upset. Sunday morning I held him a couple times, but he was still scared. By Sunday evening, he was starting to come around, and by Monday morning, the boys were able to hold him gently, and he was purring as we dutifully rubbed (and rubbed, and petted, and rubbed some more) his little furry form. He spent a lot of naps on top of us, contented at last.
Today - Day 3:
What I thought would take weeks, this tough little guy has accomplished already. Last night we let him play with Doof, which went over wonderfully. He started purring loudly and went over and smacked Doof on the butt, then rolled over and scooted around on his back, batting and playful. Within 2 minutes, they were chasing each other in circles around the room, taking turns crouching and stalking one another. I think this will be the key to calming Doof down a lot and giving him something to do besides be obnoxious and get fat.
He handles almost like a kitten that's been tame from birth, with an amazingly calm and tolerable personality. We are so proud of our new addition!
