Pet-Peeves:

Favorite Toy:
Vita's tail

Favorite Nap Spot:
Anywhere Ozzy is!: Ozzy died Nov 12, 2008. Will have to wait and see.

Favorite Food:
Bobby loves all foods. He will not challenge another cat for food, so I have to make certain he always gets enough. Even now that he is full sized and larger than some of them, he backs off immediately if one approaches his bowl.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
I was trapping a feral cat colony for neutering. We tried to get this one for 4 days, he was quite wary of the trap. We knew from the caretaker that he had a problem, his head was tilted. Eventually, he came into the trap.

Bio:
Bobby was under weight and quite ill when we caught him. The vet told us the head tilt meant he could not be released, as he could not compete for food with the other colony cats. I immediately said I would keep him. Bobby is FIV+ and has numerous allergies, which also account for why he was so ill. He is the most loving cat I have ever seen. All he wants to so is snuggle up close to anything living - feline, canine, human are all the same to him. He has the most wonderful, deep purr! And he is now at his proper weight. UPDATE! Bobby does NOT have food allergies! All his itchiness started again, so we went to the vet dermatologist and had the blood serum test done. Bobby is allergic to . . . SUMMER! Yup, a bunch of grasses, trees, weeds, and some molds. So I have the vials here and we have started the allergy shots, and sure hope this helps him. The shots worked extremely well, he was fine all of 2008. I stopped the shots in Sept, plan to start again next year.

Lives Remaining:
9 of 9

Forums Motto:
Always snuggle up with a friend!

I start my diary with a GAME!

My dear Furriend, Armani, asked me to join in the 4 Game! What a great way to start my very own diary. Thanks, Armani! He is cat #620637!

I am to - list 4 Jobs I have - list 4 places I have lived or stayed - list 4 places I would rather be -AND
I am then to tag four more fur buddies to play along also.

4 jobs I have:

1. Companion: My sweet cousin, Tuppence, has decided that she loves to be with me and cuddle up with me to feel safe when she is napping. So I am very important to my sweet young cousin. She is from the same feral cat colony as I am, and our moms were sisters. I love to cuddle up with her, too!

2. Wrestler. I love to wrestle. There are 3 kits here under a year old: Chaplin, and my 2 cousins (they are bother and sister) Tommy and Tuppence. I am not yet 2 years old. The 4 of us love to have wrestling matches. Pow, thud, bam! It is tiring, so then we have to nap together as well, he he heee.

3. Thunder Cat! The four of us (see above) also must charge through the house, preferably at about 3 AM, make as much noise as we possibly can. We are the Thunder Cats! And we love to knock over anything in our way: vases, pictures, lamps, the bigger the batter, it helps add to the noise! Mum says she had lost more stuff in the past year with us than in all 14 years before that put together with lots of other cats. But heck, she never had this many youngsters at one time before!

4. Snuggler. I just LOVE to snuggle with my Mum! At night when she settles down in bed to read, I snuggle right up with her. Then sometimes I have to wake her up in the wee hours and snuggle under the covers and get her to pet me all over. I just LOVE my mum!


Next, 4 places I have lived or stayed.

1. My first home was where I was born, in a feral cat colony. I lived there for the first 8 months of my life. It was nice, but it sometimes got wet, cold and snowy.

2. Then I lived in a cage for about one week after I was trapped. I was neutered, got all my shots, and was given special food like real salmon! I was weak and underweight and Ineeded lots of TLC. I was staying with the coordinator of the TNR program, she took me in to make sure I was going to survive, before she placed me.

3. I arrived in my FUREVER home here with my mum. I was scared at first and only came out an nights. But mum was patient and there were other cats here for me to follow by example so I quickly learned how much fun it is to run all over the house and play with toys. And I got up my courage and started checking out mom at night when she was lying in bed and not too scary. Iwasn't used to humans standing up big and tall, so she was more approachable for me lying down. Mum says that is true for most kitties!

4. Mum takes all of us up to visit her father and we stay at his house for a week or so at a time. It is like a vacation home for us! There are lots of different toys and cat perches up there; Mum made sure to buy different ones for us, so we get variety. I don't like the car drive, but I love being at either end of it!

4 Places I would like to be
This one is hard for me. I am quite happy here in my furever home.

1. I would like to be right at the exact spot at the right moment next time Mum drops something in the kitchen! The doggies always seem to get there first, pooh!

2. I would love to be able to get up on the walls and the ceiling! I like to chase flies and moths, but they just go way up high and are hard to catch. so I want to be able to chase them EVERYWHERE!

3. There is a strange place attached to our house called a garage. All of us kitties are very curious about it. Only Mum and teh doggies are allowed out there. I want to go explore that place!

4. And I hear from the kitty news channel that there is a place with lots and lots of mice. I used to catchthem, I am pretty sure, when I was outside in the feral cat colony. I haven't tasted mouse tartar for ages!

Now I need to tag 4 buddies! I did, and I forgot to tell them about the 4 places they would like to be! I hope they see this and remember to add it to their diary posts!
