I have to add this: I don’t know of any other talk radio host who likes cats. We cat lovers feel left out most of the time. Most radio hosts are are crazy over barking poop-machines. I’m happy if they’re happy, but I’ll take a clean, quiet, purring, charming kitty over them any day of the week.
And there are lots of people who think of their cats as part of the family. My sister, who recently passed away, was one of them. She literally had a house full of them. I’m sure if Rush talked about cats all day long she would have been more than happy to listen:-)
