Meow! My name is Rusty, I am a cat, and this is my story. I'm male, 15 years old, kind of a "rusty" orange color, and weigh in at 17 pounds. Honest, I'm not fat--I'm just fluffy! My human, TravelWeary, thinks I should have been named Oscar as my fur sometimes stands on end, and she often mistakes my cool reserve for grouchiness. I like anyone with food in their hands but otherwise have little use for humans. I am a very good "watch cat" who likes to snarl at people--once even keeping humans from entering the house to feed me (you notice I say nowhere here that I am very smart!). Whether I like it or not, I am unconditionally loved (yuk!) and this earns me a spot on a comfy quilt at the foot of the bed in which to practice my favorite hobby...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

p.s. When my human went to her first FlyerTalk event, she brought pictures of me to show Catman--that's how good looking I am.
