[Maxwell](https://www.uattech.com/youve-cat-to-be-kitten-me) is an adorable orange Tabby cat with an attitude. He'll meow at you to get your attention but will trick you by walking away the moment you decide to pet him. He also likes napping near the door on the first floor on the west side of the building, why he does that I don't know, he's somewhat of a daredevil I suppose, but either way if you're exiting the [building](https://www.uat.edu/student-housing#founders-hall) on the west side first floor do be cautious of not smacking the orange furball. ![20200904_143640](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/20200904_143640.jpg?width=3264&name=20200904_143640.jpg)Now how did [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) end up being the campus cat that roams the property of [UAT](http://www.uat.edu). In a nutshell [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell/) was a stray cat who was a wandering adventurer looking for quests to complete. But one day [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) saw a building that caught his eye. That building would be the [University of Advancing Technology,](http://www.uat.edu) the building caught his attention and so he decided to go there. Little did [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) know he would retire from his adventures and become the mascot and beloved campus cat of [UAT](http://www.uat.edu). So in essence [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) just randomly showed up out of nowhere and next thing you know the university decided to adopt him and have him become a member of the [UAT](http://www.uat.edu) family. And if by chance if you're wondering [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) is up-to-date on his vaccines and is as healthy as an olympian and as strong as a lion.![20200904_143746](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/20200904_143746.jpg?width=3264&name=20200904_143746.jpg)Now what does Maxwell do on a daily basis? Besides taking the occasional nap, he likes to just roam and go after birds. There seems to be some sort of ongoing war between [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) as [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) initiates hunt mode when he sees a bird, and in return the birds have retaliated by taking his food. [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) will also hide in a drainage pipe scheming on how he will get revenge on the birds. [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) will also be hiding in the trees, so expect to see [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) coming from the trees like he's some sort of squirrel. And during the nights he likes to be on top of cars at the parking lot. So don’t freak out if [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) has decided to claim a car as his property, just roll with it. In general [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) likes to be in random places so if you want to find [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) you'll basically be playing Where's Waldo. [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) loves to receive attention but does keep in mind that he also likes his own personal time and space so don’t give him too much attention. During the rainy days [Maxwell](https://www.instagram.com/uatmaxwell) will be sheltered indoors where he can avoid being soaked by the clouds of [Arizona](https://www.uattech.com/why-arizona-is-good-for-tech-companies-and-careers).![Max](https://blog.uat.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Max.png?width=798&name=Max.png)We here at [UAT](http://www.uat.edu) appreciate [Maxwell’s](https://blog.uat.edu/the-importance-of-maxwell-being-a-uat-student-and-being-social) companionship as he provides the morale boost that our students deserve as they continue their own adventure to receive their [degrees](https://www.uat.edu/advancing-technology-degrees), prosper in the [future](https://www.uat.edu/featured-technology-university-alumni), and develop [new technology](https://www.uat.edu/student-innovation-projects) for the future.
