The home that my Bebe and I built for ourselves in a village in Binan, Laguna (near Laguna Technopark), completed in 2006, has been named Merrill Court - after our first official feline pet, Merrill (we've had another pet cat, Pfeiffer since then, followed by doggie Myx, a mixed breed of a Pekingnese and a Tibetan spaniel, and lately, Grey, a white offspring of Pfeiffer with grayish hair on its head).
Merrill approached Dennis one time about five or six years ago while Dennis was on his way out of the office compound. Dennis picked up the cat and brought it home. It had really nice stripes around its legs, and thinking it was a female feline, we named it Merrill Stripes, after the actress Meryl Streep. It got shortened to Merrill later on, and even after the vet which neutered it confirmed that it was actually a male and looked like a pure-bred Bengali cat.
But I digress. This post is about Merrill Court. I am posting photos specially for our wonderful and thoughtful and loving foster parents in Arizona.
