Max is the littlest of the kittens, she was the smallest kitten that survived (we lost 2 within a few hours of birth). My BF named the tiny little ball of fur Maximus "to give him a name to grow into". Well, he turned out to be a she, but the name stuck.

Max is our spoiled little princess, and such a refined little lady. She sleeps every night on my hip and runs to me first thing when I wake up, to say good morning. She is also the most vocal of the kittens, to the point where I tell her she is "the littlest kitten with the biggest voice".

She answers to Max, Maxwell, Meeeax, Max-Max-Max, Max von Max and Meowcoles(Spanish "Miercoles" in kitty talk). I call her my little angel kitty or my fairy kitten, she is so small and so very sweet.

You should see her when she is trying to make an angry face. She is the last holdout to accept Romeo completely; when he gets too close to her, she flattens her ears and growls. All 6 lbs of her. He is more than twice her size. He looks at her and yawns, or worse yet, tries to headbump her. She gets indignant and leaves in a huff.

I tell her it is hard to take someone as cute as her seriously when they're mad.

Who would have ever guessed that kitten would grow up to look like she did? She looked like a little mouse as a tiny kit!

Shell, she is a dilute tortoiseshell, grey, apricot and white. Her mom, Lilith, is a tortie.

It amazed me to no end how each kitten looked so different.
1 orange tiger
1 blonde tiger
1 silver tiger
1 brown/black tiger
1 blue polydactyl
1 dilute tortie

All out of a tortoiseshell mom.

That was quite the mix! She turned into such a gorgeous cat. What striking eyes!!! I'm sure she's just trying to let Romeo know that even though she might be little, she top kitty
!
