Hobbes, the Cat of the Day
Name: Hobbes
Age: 17 1/2 years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon
Home: San Francisco, California, USA
 
   My Hobbes is the most gentle, loving spirit and my constant companion. I rescued Hobbes from a local animal rescue center and right when I put him in my lap, I knew we were meant to be. He was a very shy kitty, but he came out of his shell within a few years and developed into a total "Mama's Boy"! For some reason I always knew he would grow old. (He will be eighteen in one month!)

    I've saved him from an early death at least three times, once at three when he developed crystals he couldn't pass, and several times in the last few years when he had pancreatic attacks. He also suffers from megacolon and renal failure. :( I'm very blessed to be able to extend his life through daily fluids and medications. I believe in doing what I can for him as long as he has quality of life, which he does.

    I say all this because he never complains when given pills, fluids or even a bath! He just purrs. He loves it when I kiss his ears and "squeaks" with delight. It's so cute! In the entire time I've had him, I've never even heard him hiss ... not even once!

   As a photographer, Hobbes is of course one of my favorite subjects. You can see more at Laura Macky. Hobbes is the best boy ever and I'm truly lucky to have such a wonderful companion!
