Hi there. It sounds as if Maxx has bonded very closely anybody you. Some of our pets create bonds more strongly with their owners than others-some to the point of generalized anxiety if they think their owner is going to go away without them. Often these behaviors start after you've been on a trip and return, or have been out of the home longer for another reason. He misses you-remember you're the biggest part of his day. Hope this helps.
