Max - Our 8 year old cat

Max was quite 'feral' when he came to live, Oct 2003. Our former dog, Shen passed away May 2003 and we adopted Max as his former owner has an elderly cat and he was finding it hard to manage two cats - one old and sedate - other young and mischievous - and juggling work.
Took us two years to be able to carry and cuddle him without being scratched.
He didn't take to Cleo when we adopted her 10 months later. It took him 6 months to feel confident to go into the backyard. Another 3 months to feel secure enough to sleep near Cleo.
When Monty arrived, it only took 3 weeks for him to adjust. Lucky for Max, Monty was unsure of him.
Mr Bossy Boots was then renamed "Maximillian von Thugen".
He ruled the house - takes every opportunity to swap the dogs when they were near! When he sits at doorways, neither dog dare pass.
Now they are much at ease with each other. Max doesn't bully the dogs as much. He's quite happy to have them on the sofa with him, too.
