Hello Mrsbatsinherbelfry, from Bob

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

Bob is a foster fail along with his brother Jack.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months 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 11 months 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months 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.

There is a meme/Gif for everything. And me and Bob even watched this one. Bob says she was the real hero.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I trust Bob

[–] Gorgeous_Sloth@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

And I fucking love Bob.

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 11 months 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 11 months ago (1 children)

These are quite acceptable terms.

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

Small price to pay.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months 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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

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

Bob gave you a wink.

Dear God!

His name is Robert Paulson.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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