Interesting, at least to me!

Merlin has a new toy......... it's a tiny cow. A cat nip cow.

But that's not the interesting part. If you put the cow between his paws, he will FREEZE! His head will move, as he watches you, but the rest of his body refuses to move!

We've scared him, called him, tempted him with food...... but he won't move as long as that cow is there!

Can't figure it out. But when you remove the cow, he goes about his regular ways. but not till the cow is gone.

Is he afraid of it? Protective of it? Or just plain nuts??????
