Max - World's most interesting Cat

I think I've posted this picture before, but I couldn't resist putting it on the blog today. Max is our rescued kitty we brought back from the Middle East. He's got a birth defect in his right front paw and enjoys wrestling with Layla - our scruffy American adopted dog.

Jesse, our 'desert dog' we rescued in the Middle East, doesn't generally partake in the mirthful behavior of Max and Layla.

We have a strange family activity of thinking up funny imagined exploits of Max - World's most interesting cat that are in the same vein as the Dos Equis 'World's Most Interesting Man'.

I find that animals have personalities. Yes, some science type might say I'm just trying to label them with human qualities, but I just don't think so. I see Max go over to a sleeping peaceful Layla and gently poke her face as if to say, "Hey there sister. I'm bored. Why don't you chew on my head for a while." Naturally, Layla happily obliges and chews on Max's head. When Max has had enough, he'll just barely tap Layla with some claws and the head chewing subsides.

At any rate, I love my critters. Whatever kind of day I'm having, they always make it better. And, I'm glad I don't need anything to chew on my head to cure my boredom.
Peace.
