When I am in the kitchen, I often kick one of my cat's balls.
After I kick it, he will sometimes play with it for a few

Cat6 has enough wires but personally I'd run two cables. *I'd be
worried that the ring signal would generate crosstalk.

And AFAIK it's perfectly acceptable to run two Cat6 rather than use
old school phone wire - that is, Cat6 works fine as phone cable. That
way the cables can be repurposed for phone and/or network just by
changing the jack and punchdown at each end. (assuming, of course,
that the phone and network are both terminated in the same area and/or
a "structured wiring" panel.)

If I were wiring a new house, I think I'd put in a SW panel in the
basement, then run two Cat6 and two RG-6 to each room. That way I'd
have phone, network, cable, and antenna available everywhere.
