1. Learn to find a warm place under the sun, and then lie down and take a nap.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Although it is great to have nine lives, learn to cherish the present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Purring makes the people around you happier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Softness will get more love than claws.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 18, the Vermont State University graduation ceremony called Max\u2019s name during a roll call, and all the graduates cheered with excitement. However, Max was unable to attend the event. Instead, his owner, Ashley, received the honorary degree certificate on his behalf. However, in a touching moment, the graduates created a shrine in his absence, complete with candles and a framed photo to show their deep affection for the feline visitor.<\/p>\n
