Please Welcome Our Newest Family Member: Max, the Rescue Kitty

AFTER A LONG LONG WAIT — WE FINALLY FOUND OUR NEWEST ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!

(Actually, he kinda found us, my Mom in particluar…)

Max was found because he ran in front of my mother’s car one day this week… he immediately starting purring and rubbing on her when she picked him up – so she hatched a secret plan to bring him home. WHY?

FATE.

This 6-month-old kitten has the same color and face shape, and big ears as my Mom’s late cat Nickodemus, and the wild child personality of my precious beloved Theodore. He has ONE whit spot exactly where Nick’s was, and he’s already running house-laps , climbing screen doors, and over all just being a rabble-rouser — EXACTLY like Theodore. On top of that, Theodore passed on Feb. 8th this year. The vet yesterday said Max was born on or around Feb  4-11.

I BELIEVE THAT NOTHING IS A COINCIDENE. We have gotten so much joy in the past 36 hours, it’s wonderful having a young, tumbling, rough-houser, counter-climber around again to lighten us all up. (My family and I are going through some serious issues over the past 3 weeks…:( )

We’ve both been in constant mourning from losing Theodore and then 4 days later Gibson…

This little guy was sent to us on purpose we believe. There’s another smaller black and white one (definitely feral) that we’re going after this wknd so we can give him/her a nice warm home, too.

Check out Max’s photo op… (Man its hard gettin’ a kitten to sit still – I think he must have ADHD like I do!)

Big Max, aka Maxamillion, Maximus, Mad Max and more to come...

 

Maxwell was doing "blinky eyes at us." That was Theodore's TRADEMARK MOVE...

 

Max GOES BANANAS Over Our Scratching Post!

  2. How wonderful!!!! There’s nothing like a young spirit to lift the spirit of the house!!!

    My year old Ragdoll was born right around the time my sweet Oscar died last year, as well.

    I love how you mention “running house laps.” Our house is built so that you can run in a circle, and Aura will do that…when she gets to the kitchen it’s just like in the cartoons, her legs slide on the floor underneath her at 60 mph but she hardly goes anywhere. Such a joy to watch!

  4. Welcome Max!!!!! Aren’t you a handsome little boy.

  5. How nice to have a new addition to help ease the loss of your two kitties. It is easier to smile when there’s a bundle of kitten flying through the house.
