Merlin's new trick

[sesquipedality]

The evil one has taken to picking up the Yellow Duster of Doom (aka favourite cat toy) in his mouth and then leaping into a packing crate. He then comes and meeps loudly, either to display proudly his acrobatic skills, or, I think more likely, because he's not entirely sure how to get out of the packing crate and wants to be lifted out.
