I strongly believe Max and I were soul mates in our past lives due to the way I ended up as his Mother. To make a long stoy short, among seven caregivers Max was passed on to me. Christine, the last person who gave full custody of Max to me, bought a female feline, Daisy, so that she wouldn't miss Max as much; because in her heart she knew Max belonged to me.
For the short period of time I was graciously blessed to spend with my cat, I can honestly say he lived the 'high' life. My roommate and I spoiled our cats silly. Max had a terrific life. He was loved by sooooooo many, especially his sister (Daisy). Cat friends of Max included...Pez, Pickles, Gabe, Jack, Oscar, Jackson, Sam and Sam (Fifi). I do have to say thank you to Pamela (who found Max), Mina (who named and took care of Max), Brynn, Chris, Christine, Gerry, Mom, Dad, Nikita, Amrita, etc. (who took really good care of my babes)... Thank you!
Max loved his home, his paper/plastic bags, cardboard boxes, his milk, his time outside on the porch and his 'scarface' sofa. You could give Max any kind of box (big or small) and he would play with it for hours. If it was a shoe box, he would find some way to fit in it and fall asleep. He always tried to wedge himself in such small space. If I wasn't entertaining Pooks, it would be my father or mother. My father loved Max dearly... that was 'his boy, his homie'. When I'd go out for the night, my mom would tell me how Max was sleeping on her like a baby. I would never believe it because he didn't like to show emotion. I guess he didn't want me to know that he was such a sucker.
Words can never express how much I will miss him and how much joy, security, and happiness he brought to my life. He was my baby, my heart, my life. It's so hard to make tea in the kitchen everyday because Max knew that's when he would receive milk... and it's so hard coming home with McDonald's...those who knew Max, knows that he could smell those fries yards away. Everything I do reminds me of my baby...he was my shadow... always made sure I was okay. It hurts so much to not have a 'sidekick' anymore.
Max, my babe, mommy misses you a whole lot and wants you back, but knows that can't happen. Only your spirit lies with me. You're with the Best now and sooner or later, I will see you again. Although I cry a lot (I'm sorry), I will continue to pray for your soul to be at peace and your other mommy, Christine, will be doing the same. I thank you for fulfilling my life and always being there for me ... God be with you ...
