Rufus was one-half of the panther duo we adopted in December 2010. A beautiful fluffy tuxedo kitty, he was overdressed for every occasion. He wasn't a lap cat and didn't much care for being picked up but absolutely loved to cuddle with you in bed and purr loudly into your ear as he shared your pillow. Rufus had a love of yarn and string that resulted in two surgeries over the years, but he came through fine and we put all string-like things on lockdown. We'll miss Rufus very much here at our house. I am very glad I got to be your human.
