Rufus Dulcis
b. Fall 1987, d. 2006. Cream/red DLH, faint markings.
Rescued by some good friends, but didn't get along with their cat. Adopted by me when he was around 6-8 months old. Wonderful cat, but he and Toby merely (barely?) tolerated each other, for about five years. After the death of Charlie, Rufus moved in with my parents and became spoiled rotten. After dad died mom wound up moving in with me, and Toby and Rufus were reunited, though they got along better this time because they each had their own person. Died at the age of 18.
His name was a happy accident. My friends who rescued him named him, not realizing that as a "yellow" cat he would be considered red, that "Rufus" means red, and is a Latin name.
