Bob
Bob was an unusual cat in many ways;
He was enormously large and stocky,
distinctively handsome,
unnervingly intelligent,
unflappably easy-going,
insistently affectionate,
constantly talkative in small chirps and grunts,
…and he sure was deliberate about destroying my window blinds.
He lived a happy 19 or so years, the last nine with me, and when his time finally came, he peacefully passed on doing two things he loved; laying underfoot in the middle of the floor, and eating chicken paste treats.
For the whole time I had him, I was constantly amazed at how lucky I was to have adopted such a strange, loving, wonderful cat.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Rikh / Kona’s Loving Paws for bringing Bob’s life to a prompt, peaceful, and comfortable end.
