Purrs-onal Preference

I have to play lifeguard when he winds up swimming in a toilet at least once per week.

If I set a drink down, he will stick his face in it.

He considers any food left anywhere to be fair game.

He walks across the kitchen counters as if he was invited to do so.

The very second someone opens a door, he runs through it, even if that door happens to lead outside where he is MOST DEFINITELY NOT ALLOWED.

He does unspeakable things to houseplants.

He never met a sock he didn't want to steal.

His obsession with beating up fabric makes it very difficult to sew.

He thinks tables are a good place to sleep.

And yet, he's my favorite cat ever.

He runs at top speed to greet Alexis in the morning.

He purrs the second you reach down to pick him up.

He makes adorable little cooing noises in his sleep.

He is the ultimate cuddler and sits perfectly still while he cuddles.

He doesn't see the need to be sneaky, he just does what he wants right in front of you.

He follows Alexis around because he genuinely enjoys every second of the torture she dishes out.

He likes me best of all the humans in his life.

Max is most definitely *MY* cat.

The rest of y'all best back off.

You just described my cat perfectly, and I love her as much as I love my kid!!

Max has beautiful markings. I always had the best cats when I was growing up. I've never had a cat that acts like the stereotypical cat until now. I was really hoping for a cuddle kitty, but my Diego just wants to be off doing his own thing. Thanks, for the late night reading. Apparently, this isn't a good night for sleeping so I'm off to do some laundry.

He has such a sweet face. We are a cat family too. They do make life interesting.

Owning a cat is like playing Feline Roulette. Sometimes you get the cuddleboy. Sometimes you get the psycho.

I had cats growing up, and loved them. But then I left home and had kids and now, out of no where, I'm allergic to cats. I'm totally bummed too, cause I would love to have one. I'm thinking maybe if I reintroduce myself slowly, I'll readapt?

@bluzdude--Ali = Psycho. She doesn't get in much trouble, but HOOBOY is she not right in the head.
