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 3 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 3 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 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 3 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.

He is pretty and very squishy.

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 3 months ago

I trust 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 3 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 3 months ago (1 children)

These are quite acceptable terms.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Small price to pay.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Gorgeous_Sloth@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

And I fucking love Bob.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Bob gave you a wink.

Dear God!

His name is Robert Paulson.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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