Thanks for the comments on Max. I have to reveal that I wrote the story on Max. He was my cat before my brother adopted him from me. My brother was quite pleased that Max was cat of the day.

My brother loves this cat more than some people love their children. It makes me smile.

I emailed my brother today and told him of the comments here on COTD. Here is what he wrote back:

"Always something new with him. This morning something woke me and it was him rooting around in his toy box. Something he hasn’t done in a long time. And he always pulls out the most beat up bedraggled thing in there. He still grabs that beetle type thing you got him a long time ago."

I don't remember the beetle-type thing he is talking about but am happy Max loves the toy I got him.
