« Dry clean only | Main | Happy anniversary, Max! »
When I saw this handsome guy on Angela's Flickr stream this morning...
I thought his paws looked familiar.
Because they were on my lap last week! After meeting Mink (that's his new name) during my shelter volunteer shift, I was very glad to hear that he'd gotten adopted a couple of days later. What a surprise to see him again - on Flickr :)
By the way, like Oliver, a fellow tuxedoed Washington Humane Society alum...
Mink is an Obama supporter. They can haz inauguration tickets?

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.
Those tuxedo cats have such good taste in politics!
