Maximus Nero

My new houseguest from Coco's cat refuge is Max. He was found "baking in the sun" on a vacant lot in Playa, and brought to Coco's by a concerned neighbour.
When I first met him, he was covered in soapsuds having his first bath, and looking mortified by this unwanted attention. He shivered all the way home and bolted from his cage under the lounge where he stayed for 2 days, hissing at me. Surprisingly though, when I picked him up he didn't bite or scratch me, but he did eat like a savage (I guess he is).

On the 2nd night, he sauntered out of his hiding place, jumped into his lime green faux-fur bed and started playing with his toys, and he's been fine ever since.
I reckon Max is no more than 4 weeks old, very thin and as you can see he still have lovely blue eyes. But now he's eating well he seems to have lots of energy and an inquisitive nature and he's learning to trust me.
Max will stay with me for 2 weeks, until he has put on some weight, finished his anti-parasite treatment and his 14-day quarantine. Then he'll return to Coco's and join the other kittens to play.

We also met Truffle at the shelter - she's a ginger and white kitten who likes yoga and was stretching into a "downward dog" in the window and crying for attention. I could easily have taken her home too, but Max needs attention for now. And with that sweet little face, it's not hard to give.
