Just like Evelyne and I, our son and his wife love cats. They've had three over the years, but when their last cat, Uli, died, they didn't need to find another one to replace him. Max arrived, "unattached," coming and going as he pleased as he picked a carefully defined group of homes in their small town outside Salt Lake City.
Max was a big, super-friendly and charismatic cat who never attached himself to any particular home and was very good at "selling himself" to receive all the attention and services he needed, from petting, a sleeping area, food, and when the weather was really bad, a comfortable shelter.
That lifestyle involves great risks, especially when traveling through the streets. At the beginning of August, Max was accidentally hit by a vehicle, and following ten days of intensive and costly care for the person who handled him then, our beloved Max could not survive his injury.
That's why I made this short video, which memorializes the precious moments spent with this exceptional, unattached feline, whose loss deeply affected us all and whom we won’t forget anytime soon.
