Bob – RIP Dec. 2006 – Dec. 2009
Bob gets back in touch with his indigenous past.
My lovely little cheetah like cat – Bob used up the last of his nine lives today. The fact that he lived this long is rather amazing considering his mother ate all his litter mates and he was rescued in the nick of time. As Bob grew, he lived an eternal life as a kitten. We learned over time why the Mama cat probably ate the litter mates – Bob was a few cards shy of a full deck. He never quite grasped the litter box – thinking the front paws in the pan was good enough. He used up many of his live’s taunting the resident eagles as he lolled outside the front door rolling around on the front step appearing to just say – lets see if you can swoop down and get me.
Bob leaves behind his dear pal Spot.
Yes it is a miracle Bob lived three years. We’re not quite sure what took him to the final resting place – the vet thinks it was anti-freeze. We aren’t in the habit of leaving anti-freeze out inside the house so I’m not sure how that could have happened. And as far as we know, Bob had no enemies.
Our deepest condolences are to his playmate Spot (another Ocicat) who was an absolute pest without Bob – the reason we adopted Bob in the first place. I’ll miss him too – he and I spent hours studying the printer spitting out various drafts of my writings. I think Bob brought down the IQ of everyone in the house – this was not a bad thing.
