« King of the kitchen | Main | Spot grows into his ears »
Max's eyes light up whenever he sees me put on shoes. He follows me to the door and gets ready to race me down the hallway. Sometimes I manage to leave while keeping him in the apartment. Of course, it's when I'm running late that he seems most determine to lead me on a wild cat chase. Bad Max. Nooooo!
After the cat Olympics (he always wins) comes nap time, when he looks sooo very sweet that you can hardly believe he'd ever make any trouble at all!

Maurice Sendak: Where the Wild Things Are
Max was named after the Wildest Thing of All. Like Maurice Sendak's Max, Stick Figure Cat likes having dinner waiting after a wild rumpus.
Margery Williams: The Velveteen Rabbit
While filling out Max's adoption paperwork, I thought of the Velveteen Rabbit. Just as he went from unwanted to adorable, every abandoned animal has the potential to "become real".
Hayde Ardalan: Milton
Max looks a tiny bit like Milton, "an exceptional cat with a curious nose" :)
Rudyard Kipling: The Jungle Book
Remember how Mowgli's wolf parents introduced their new boy to the pack? Max's first meeting with the Spots reminded me of that.
