Emma and Natalie Brown (daughters of Lisa and David Brown) dearly love their one year old cat Rusty but say, “He can be a pain in the leg because he jumps up on the buffet, the counters and us”. David adds, “Rusty is a great addition to our family and puts up with my daughter’s constant hugs, kisses, and carrying through the house he is very affectionate and is always purring.” Emma, who is 8 years old said, “Once I was knitting on the couch. My ball of yarn rolled off the couch and under the table. Rusty pounced on the ball of yarn.”
