Max my cat
Max was a stray that quickly warmed up to us. He found my dad's store one day, and wouldn't leave. Being he was outdoors a lot, he had an encounter with what we like to believe was freddy krueger and he was badly injured. We brought him home to nurse him back to health, and we could never bring ourselves to let him out again. He did not quickly mesh with our other 2 boys, but now 8 years later i do catch them playing around with each other..occasionally. Max amazes me. Through the horrible freddy krueger incident, and then having to remove his lymph nodes due to a cancer scare, boy is he a trooper. He remained super playful even when having hundreds of stitches and staples holding him together. I have lupus and watching him get through it all gives me strength.
