Hi, my name is Max and I am not a dog.  In fact, I don't think I like dogs since I discovered that a couple of weeks ago when I ran outside and almost met the neighbor's dog face to face.  Good thing mommy was there and that thing they call a fence.  
Momma tells me that she used to have dogs, but I'm glad she doesn't anymore.  No offense intended but I'm a cat, that's just how I roll.  
Anyway, since I am at a safe distance I thought I might crash your party and say hi.  Growl all you want - I can't hear you.  Heh.
I have a brother named Ember who I like to pounce on all the time.  He's older than me, but that doesn't mean he runs the house.  Despite popular belief, I am the king of my castle - know what I'm sayin?  I secretly love my brother and wish he'd snuggle me - Momma thinks when I am not so hyper active, it just might happen one day.  That would be really cool because I do like to snuggle when I'm not bouncing of the walls.
I really love where I live cause I have boxes full of toys and a Tigger and a Pooh Bear that I play with when Ember isn't in the mood.  Momma and Mommy also spoil me with warm fuzzy blankies and tons of kissins' and huggins' - it sure beats that cage I was in when they first came to visit me.  
Well, that's my story for now.  I would chat you up some more, but momma says I have ADD and an attention span shorter than an ant's toe.  I don't know what she mea .... OOO look, a ball........
