Axle (Ax)

Axle became part of the Engine Master family and quickly established himself as one of its most visible furry staff members. His confidence, curiosity and enthusiasm for meeting people made the front counter a natural place for him to work.

Axle has more energy than a squirrel on a double espresso, but he is also smooth, affectionate and extremely cuddly. His unexpectedly delicate meow, distinctive little nose bump and ability to demand attention make him impossible to overlook—which is exactly how he likes it.

Ax begins with a patrol of the premises before selecting a suitable observation point near the counter or front door. The sound of the buzzer triggers an immediate customer-service response. Between visitors, his schedule includes imaginary-mouse pursuit, window sunbathing and checking whether Daniel requires supervision.
