I met Mavrin, pronounced Marvin — if Brett Favre can do it, so can I — while I was searching for my missing black and white cat, Max.

Maxie had disappeared three weeks earlier, and I was at the shelter at least every other day looking for him. Each time I couldn’t find him, I left sobbing.
During one visit, I saw a black and white cat across the room and zoomed over. It wasn’t Max. Instead, it was a black and white kitten with odd eyes: his left eye was blue, and his right eye was gold.
He pawed at me through the bars of the cage, then flopped over and stuck his head into the water dish sitting there. He got up, shook his head, sprayed me with water drops, and then went right back to pawing at me.

He had huge paws for an estimated three-month-old kitten, and I have always been partial to my big boy kitties. He still had several days left on his hold, but I started going back every day to see him.
I named him Marvin, after Marvin the Martian. He was an odd little fellow, to quote Bugs Bunny.

Once he was cleared for adoption, I took my husband to the shelter to meet him. Mavrin went home with us that day.
We had him for almost 15 years, until he crossed the Rainbow Bridge 20 months ago. His “sister,” our resident Russian Blue girl, was less than impressed and wanted pretty much nothing to do with him for the nine years they spent together.

Mavrin ended up huge, weighing 17.2 pounds in his prime. His name was altered in spelling because my husband is a smartass.
I still miss him every day, even though we adopted two little Abyssinian girls about two months after Marvin passed to keep my work-from-home husband entertained.
Love you, Fuzz For Brains.
