Arnold and her husband rescued Max five years ago from an abandoned house. Arnold said she first noticed he rides the Roomba one day when she came home from work. Arnold told GMA.com she was surprised to see her cat go gliding by on the Roomba when no one was home. She then realized Max knows where the button is and how to turn on his toy.
