I received a very special envelope in the mail today. It was from Max's biological hooman. She sent me his Certificate of Pedigree and details his lineage going all the way back to his Great Great Great Grand Parents. Max himself was not registered but to me his will always be Sir Maxillian. I also found out that his birth date is July 3, 1992 which makes him 16 this year. I adopted him in April 1997 and we guessed his age at 4 at the time...off by one year.

His Father is Nartuk Black Magic, Himalayan, Black Hybrid with copper eyes. Mother is Nartuk Apricot Brandy, Himalayan, Flame Point with blue eyes (just like Max).

I find this kind of information so interesting and the names of his ancestors are so unique....Raintree Lane Jubilee (cream persian), Cat-a-Lacs Class Clown (seal point) and Purr Majesty Winnie The Purr.....to name a few.

So I think I have a pretty special kitty on my hands and no wonder that he thinks he is royalty. To me, he will always be my heart kitty and I pray that he will give me at least two more years.
