Haugsness Family: Max & Willie

So we've adopted a kitten, not sure what to think about him, but he is pretty darn cute. I've been a little reluctant to show my enthusiasiam because of a bad cat experience I had growing up, but he is really cute.

A couple of weeks ago my boss had a department get together out at his farm, and Zoey just fell in love with this kitten and he was so tolerant just letting him her carry him all around. You don't find many cats that will put up with the roughness of a 3 year old like that so it wasn't a week later and we asked Bill if we could adopt him. He was just glad to get one of them off his hands! :)

Willie was obviously our first born and so he has some (not much, but some :) priority, so it was so important to me and all of us that it works out. So we had Max declawed so that Willie's eyes would not be endanger.

They seem to be getting along much better than expected. Although Willie has a good 40 lbs on him, Max is definitely top dog. :) Willie has always been a big baby though, so this isn't a huge suprise. Willie is curious, and Max is tolerant but aloof. I think that it is going to work out well.

We are really enjoying the "Max & Ruby" books and tv show, so Max seemed like a great fitting name. So instead of Max and Ruby.... we have Max and Willie. :)
