Who wouldn't miss such a fine boy as that. My Mr Max (also Magnificent) isn't a mixer at all with either Candy or Tom - he hisses at them furiously for simply innocently walking past him. We only have a small one bedroomed house which doesn't allow him the opportunity to hide anywhere as widespread as a basement. Hence why he is always within eyeshot but I think with more house space he would maybe behave the same. We do have a large garden and many fields beyond where he does spend a lot of time, so maybe he is being reclusive in his own way staying 'out' of the house. I do hope there is nothing other than anti-social behaviour going on with Moose. Tom is still very silly and nonsense-filled and Max simply doesn't have time for that.
