In October 1993, we brought home a new kitten for Barb’s birthday, Maxie. We took turns acclimating her to us and her new surroundings.
Maxie soon got the hang of the place and introduced herself to Walt.
By Thanksgiving, Maxie was ready for guests, including Larry and Ashley, Sara and Grandmom.
Maxie interested in flames.

We moved to Paddington in the second half of 1996 where Maxie checked out the Halloween haul.
Sightings of Maxie became fewer and further between. The dates are a little bit of mystery, but I think these are more or less in order.

Maxie’s buddy Walt passed away in 1999 and Maxie had the run of the house (and managed to stay out of photos) for several years until Harry Potter showed up in September 2002.
I don’t think Maxie lasted much past this photo. She didn’t show up in any of the Christmas photos for 2002, even though Harry was prominent in them. I’m sorry, for Maxie’s sake, that I don’t have a more definite memory of her demise, but I think it was a rather sudden illness, likely kitty leukemia.
