    Smoky, I really don't understand how anyone could be cruel to a defensless animal. :mad: Max sounds absolutely adorable!

    He is a love, LOL, Loving is on his terms only - when he has had enough the claws come out. All the kids have learned that one. - It is a huge shame really as he is a beautiful cat with a really good pedigree. It only takes one act to sour the world around us - unfortunately Max was used to hurt me and - well that one backfired. Still Max has been left damaged and allthough he loves, he remains scared and the first hint he percieves as aggression results in aggression. Though the kitten in him still cuddles me at night, more so since Eric left - He 'grooms' my hair and loves being 'loved' up until a certain point and then he bites and claws.

    I am hugely ashamed that I never saw it coming and allowed that to happen. The cost of the Op was immaterial. He is my friend!

    Hi pretz,

    I had to get someone else to do my avitar for me because I'm not techie minded at all, but if you ask on the Techie Stuff board, someone there should be able to help.

    I'm not sure but it may need to be saved in .jpg/jpeg form to upload it here. You can easily do that in MS Paint by just opening it then Save as picname.jpg
