Meet Max!
Max (who came with the name "Flamepoint" but lost it quickly) is mostly flame or red point Siamese, as far as we can tell, and has a TON of personality, a very loud diesel-engine purr, and likes to chat, even if nobody is listening. He is a "young adult" cat - from his coloring and build probably between 9 months and a year old. As he gets older, his nose, ears, paws, and tail will deepen to a dark golden color (we hope!).
We adopted Max a week or so ago from Second Chance Pets and picked him up Sunday evening. He's a very good cat, completely comfortable with us and the apartment. House trained, friendly and affectionate, doesn't get on the counters/table, and *very* playful. Right now the laser pointer wins as his favorite toy with Mouse2-on-a-string coming in at a close second.
Mouse1 met a quick demise due to poor construction. Mouse2 is faring better (so far).
Currently, Max sleeps underneath my side of the bed at night - he seems to like being under things, and fits in some pretty tight spaces (like under my chest of drawers!) His very short coat doesn't shed much at all, and he's currently very much enjoying a catfood/yoghurt mixture treat as a way to help with some rough patches on his back/tail. He was in the pound before Second Chance Pets got him, and his coat didn't take well to the pound OR the baths he's had since then.
As I'm sure you can tell from the photo, he's not exactly easy to keep still when not sleeping.
He's pretty cute when he's asleep though http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
