Bob, the Cat of the Day
Name: Bob
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Male
Breed: Tabby
Home: California, USA
 
   This is Billy "Bob" Brown. He was a therapy kitten with Actors & Others for Animals. He's quite a tiny fellow, weighing in at only five pounds. But, what he lacks in size, he makes up for in cuteness!! He also rides on my shoulder all the time.

    He is now a show cat. I show him in Household Pet at CFA cat shows. At the March cat show in Irvine, CA, he took best cat in two rings. Pretty good for a little guy who only weighs five pounds. When he finals in a ring, I take him up with his cowboy hat on, yes, it still fits, and the judge and the audience can't believe their eyes. He is nine months old now, so I don't expect him to get too much bigger. He was the runt of the litter and only four of the eight kittens survived. He is still as mischievous as a three-month-old kitten, so it looks like he will be my perpetual kitten!!!

    Everyone at the cat shows looks forward to seeing Bob because he rides on my shoulder and has a purr that is louder than he is big. When he went to the convalescent hospitals as a therapy cat, the ladies would kiss him so much that he came home with red lipstick all over him...
