More than that, he was my Main Man. It's hard to explain, but he was there through the difficult Bachelor Years - I remember waking up from falling asleep on the floor, pissed, to him nibbling my hair in a "are you ok, mate?" kind of way, and, provided he hadn't found an especially interesting mains cable to chew, he'd rush to the door to greet me when I came back home (don't get the wrong idea - this was only if it suited him and he could be arsed, this was a very MANLY owner/bunny relationship, none of yer soppy stuff).
And nobody could chase a cat like that lop-eared bastard could. *sob*
