Rastus

 This was the awesome Rastus that mum grew up with, in a photo dated feb 1984.  He was a fabulous mancat , he roamed our neighborhood playing most of the day and spent each night pinning mum to the bed.  If she moved at all, he purred super loudly for an hour keeping mum awake.  It made mum sad to leave him when she had to go away for her studies, and he lived a few more years of his retirement with her mum and dad.
