Merlin, Arthur and the knights of Camelot had joined Uther Pendragon in a feast honouring his son's latest defeats in the jousting ring.
"Here's to Arthur," Uther said as he raised his goblet.
However before everyone could toast the prince, a fat ginger cat jumped onto Uther's dinner plate and started eating his chicken.
"Get down dirty animal!" Uther hissed as he pushed the feline to the floor.
Merlin ducked his head in shame.
"As I was saying, a toast to my son, Arthur!"
And the cat was again eating from his dinner plate.
This went on for a while.
