I'm Maximus, a Street Cat.
Mine is a story of choices.
My choice to wander too far away from the litter.
The choice of a Human to take me in.
The choice he made, when well over a year later shelters didn't want me, and I was too frightened to give a damn, to set me free.
As he held me one last time, and then left, I dimly knew I had to choose.
Life, or death.
No more chances.
I wish he could know: I chose life!
It was very hard, but I survived!
That was 7 years ago.
