Merlin is fascinated with food, anybody's food. I have to lock him in his cage to eat his one wet meal of the day. Otherwise he gobbles down his own share and then steals the girls' food practically out of their mouths.
A couple of days ago I set a cheese stick, still in the plastic wrap, on my desk. Merlin zipped across the desk and snatched the cheese in passing. Fortunately, I was able to grab him before he had a chance to hide it under the couch or somewhere else inaccessible. I also caught him hauling half a loaf of bread through the living room---it was bigger than he is.
So what's next? Learn to open the refrigerator, get out the mustard, and start making sandwiches?
