Maximus seems to love my mother very much. I don't have a problem with that. I think its great. He seems mind my mother and loves to cuddle with her. An example would be when hes outside and I tell him to come inside he doesn't budge but when I tell my mother, she will say Come inside Maximus. He sprints like rocket back inside and Every night at 5 pm, he walks into my mom room and barks to get onto her bed and naps. Which is funny!!! Do they prefer women ?
