I wish I was rich. Iโ€™d buy a nice big house, withdraw from society and fill it with cats.

I'd build a hermits commune with a bunch of smaller houses where we could all withdraw to.

Can boyo and I join the commune? We'd bring cats and peace and keep to ourselves but share whatever we could that you needed but also respect your privacy cause we all need that!

That sounds great actually

Can I be your kind but quiet and reclusive neighbour with dense garden and big library? I can supply occasional vegetables and fruits dropped off on the doorstep.

You could buy in a nice safe area, have nice neighbours, nice community activities and fill it with cats too. ๐Ÿ˜Š

You are too nice to keep yourself completely hidden away, everyone would be better off with you out there. ๐Ÿ˜˜
