An Abyssinian is about the last cat I’d choose to have. Too weird and crazy.
Sadly, we all have to learn to live within our means. Sometimes our wants outpace our means, and other times our means change, forcing us to downsize our wants (or haves).
Ask yourself "do I intend to read all of these books even one more time before I die?" If the answer to any book is "no", find a good home for it now while you still have a say in the matter.

That doesn’t work for me since most of these books are work related. Some I may only look at every other year, but when I need it for work I need it for work. I can always unload novels since I will re-read only a few of those. I live well within my means.
Plus, don’t land cats on their four feet?
The only fault I have with Rush is that he is a cat person.
So sue him. *rme*
At over 200 MPH, that can be very hard on the feet...
Flaps might help.
He also has a dog, if I am not mistaken
Yes, I’m certain a while back, he got an Olde English Sheepdog they named Winston.....don’t they still have the dog??
She needs a cat wheel to run on.

Rush, Sean, and Mark made themselves irrelevant when they decided to join the crowd that would say nothing as the Saudis put an illegal alien Marxist Muslim terrorist in the White House.
We had a tortoise hair cat that played fetch. She would bring me an un-used twist tie from a bread bag and drop it in my sneaker to let me know it was play-time. I’d throw it, she’d chase it down and bring it back and drop it into the shoe. I’d reach for it and with her big claws she’d try to swat it out of my hand. I got scratched a lot, but I loved having a cat who fetched. She also loved to play hide and seek. I’d peek from behind a door, she would see me and come towards the door to check out what was going on, I’d yell, “surprise” and she’d jump two feet off the ground. Then I’d go hide behind another door and we’d do the whole thing again. She was a lot of fun.
Thank God for Buck Sexton!
I had one too!
At the time I had Boots, I had a macramae plant hanger that I had hung a toy on an elastic string for her to play with.
She'd grab it, pull it and it would spring away and then she'd go jumping for it as it swung around.
One day I got home from work to find her totally hog tied with the string wrapped around the legs of a dining room chair and around her neck. She was totally immobilized.........I'm lucky she never choked to death. I threw that toy away........
Love ElRushbo and love this story.
Our cat’s a fanatic about being outdoors - all day & into the night. I worry about her; but to try to keep her in the boring house all the time would just make her sad - and NAUGHTY. Looks like Rush has been a mother hen about his kitty kat. I’d rather them have a year or two of outdoor happiness as many years of indoor misery and boredom.
