The floof, the feetsies, the tail wrap - 10/10 from me <3

He is pretty and very squishy.

Bob is a foster fail along with his brother Jack.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just as I said. Perfect in every way. That's how you know. Couldn't bear to give him up. Say hi to Bob and Jack for me.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I did. I think Jack smiled back.

My best kitty friend ever was named Bob. Its a fantastic name.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It does fit him very well. He's very Bob.

Our Bob came from the shelter as Ollie, but he was never Ollie.

Ollie became Oddball -> Bobbles -> Bob. And Bob just seemed right.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

We have rescued a lot of cats over the years and I have always told people that they kind of name themselves. Just like Ollie became Bob cause that's who he really is.

Very soft, we always say he is the the boneless model.

With all the nick names I have given him over the years I never thought of that one.

Bob looks like he would enjoy sitting with somebody while they read a book. And possible a larger cat-tree platform.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The cuddling and cat tree for sure. And you have to pet him while he eats.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are quite acceptable terms.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Small price to pay.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Bob so much.

please post more pics of Bob and also his brother Jack! lemmy needs them!!

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will sift through the dozens I have and find the best.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I am devastated to see that you have not posted a one yet 😭

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Bob and Jack on the cat structure and on the couch.

Bob gave you a wink.

His name is Robert Paulson.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Monday to Friday at the office he is Robert but he'll always be Bob to us.
