Done deal. Control is yours Martin.
Wiki says that Burgess Meridith served in the USAAF.
I suppose it would be nice if someone greeted Graeme when he gets up.
Wiki also says that your ratty thing is a pack animal and makes a lousy pet...
Meerkats make very poor pets. They bite, and the bite can become infected. They stink, and will scent-mark their owner and the house (their "territory"). Being a pack animal, they may become hysterical if kept as single pets.

Is it a case of the owner resembling the pet!? LOL
