Max

For weeks my 7yr old nephew had been wanting a cat. I used to live a few houses down from Lana, and so whenever my nephew would come over to my house he'd want to walk past Lana's house so he could pet the kitties outside her house. He even started naming them.

Two Sundays ago, my family and I adopted Max, a very sweet 6yr DSH black male cat, and since the first day he came home with us, he has been such a wonderful addition to the family. I was surprised how quickly he became comfortable with the whole family, even the dog. He loves people and if someone is sitting on the living room couch, Max will jump on the couch and come lay on that person's lap. If you stop petting him, he'll move his head under your hand so that you can continue.

At first he would hiss and growl at the dog, but that's just because they were still strangers. Now they appear to be friends. Max now lets the dog go up to him once in a while and lets the dog give him a kiss, (the dog's way of giving a kiss is by licking the person's or animal's ear).

My nephew really loves Max, and it's really apparent that Max really loves his humans. I want to say thank you so much to Johanna and Lana for helping my family find its new wonderful member.
