She purred happily when she was airlifted from her shelter cage onto a warm lap. Oh yes! She stretched, rolled onto her back and rubbed her face against the hands that brushed mats out of her pretty, glossy fur.
But then she heard a sound that made her cringe. What's this? A camera? Nooo waaaay! Amateurs like Toast, her neighbor (and future brother, as it turns out), might indiscriminately pose for anyone. But her? Not a chance til she gets a lifetime contract as your spokescat!

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".
