I was interested in your statement about Uncle Max living in a home with the odor of cigarette smoke. A few years ago when I was working with an animal sanctuary we accepted several cats to the shelter for adoption because "they were mean and uncooperative cats" - only to find out they were total loves! They didn't like the smoky atmosphere they were forced to live in. They had to misbehave to be relieved of their misery. Bless you for adopting this beautiful cat and giving him a clean, good-smelling forever home.
