"Cats are a mysterious kind of folk. There is more passing in their minds than we are aware of." - Sir Walter Scott

"Any conditioned cat-hater can be won over by any cat who chooses to make the effort." - Paul Corey

RIP Max the Silly Stealth Seal cat, TBALC member, and a close personal small furry friend, confidante, and hot water bottle. Who will lick my nose now? Although he never peed on Dan's computer, he climbed on it and ate its cables. And he Walked by Himself, helped me break into Picton, cheered me up, gave me advice, chewed on my fingers, slept on my head, and showed me the love. You will be missed:

"No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch." - Leo Dworken
