Apple OS X Max...

There are reports that Apple is testing OS X 10.8. As you know, Apple names their Mac operating systems after big cats. The latest, 10.7, is called Lion. ... So, after the King of the Beasts, what do you name the next version? It's a toughie. They've used Tiger - that was 10.4. Panther was used (10.2); 10.3 was Jaguar. 10.5 and 10.6 were leopards. They've basically run out of big cats.

This is, obviously, far too important an issue to be left undecided and unresolved. The criteria for the name is pretty obvious: a fierce feline. They've gone big. So, in keeping with that advert for the SmartCar, we should try Small. As in "5 and a bit pounds" small. But with attitude. A lot of attitude. Even going so far as belligerent, perhaps? A cat that can reduce 18 pounds of Big Orange to a nervous wreck. Merely by walking past him.

So, without further ado, may I present to you the cat Apple will should be using for their next release of OS X... Maxine! :-)

 

This is Max in her natural habitat. She's a doll. With teeth and attitude. She doesn't let her disability stop her. Nor her lack of tail. She never knows where her next meal is coming from; it could be Copper's bowl or Oliver's. Or Big Orange's. Or her own. And she's fierce. As you can see from the picture. 

She's the perfect cat for the job!

:-D
