1. She's a dead ringer to a stray kitten who came up to me...

Dec 2015

20 years ago when I was getting a speeding ticket on a deserted stretch of the Long Island Expressway.
I tossed her into the car and got a can of cat food at the next 7-11, which she gobbled down. That's probably why she liked car rides, and would sit in the rear window watching the world disappear.

A called her Maxine for some reason I don't remember, and she learned to respond to Max. She was an excellent hunter, and had a curious fetish for corn on the cob. She would even wait for the pot to cool down and fish one out of it to eat.
