High Maintenance Cat — I know, I know another cat blog, but this one features my high maintenance cat Theo and my friend's high maintenance cats. Theo is an amazingly good looking red Abyssinian cat we adopted last year, he's been a challenge, it's a good thing he's so handsome. You gotta love pets.
