A Manx cat has been named 'pet of the week' by a news website in Texas.
15-year-old Maximus Aurelius has won the title in San Antonio.
He was submitted by his owner Kiko Vazquez, who named him not only because he's Manx, but after his love of the movie Gladiator.
Maximus is described as 'very fast and flexible for his age and size'.
He likes to watch baseball and play with the feather duster, and apparently his favourite band is KISS.
