Hobbes
has been my best buddy ever since I brought him home when he was
six weeks old. He loves me, and only me, and will not allow anybody else
to pick him up or touch his cute little bobtail. Anyone who tries must
suffer the consequences ... which involves a swat with those big
pixiebob paws, growls and snarls, and then a bite for good measure. He
tends to scare most people - and dogs too - that venture into his
territory with those ferocious sounds...but it's mainly for show. He's
actually a wimpy boy (but he'd get me for saying that) and even allows
squirrels to come right up to him and walk past. Hobbes just has some
anger management issues he needs to work through!
Over a year ago now, Hobbes became very sick and after several vets and
attempts to have tests to figure out the problem, it was determined he
has a brain tumor or lesion that sometimes makes walking a challenge and
now my poor buddy also has congestive heart failure ... and I've had to
get mighty creative to get him to take his medicine twice a day!
I know he doesn't have long but I'm just going to savor every day I have
left with him since he's been quite the character and has always kept me
entertained with his quirks and cuddles for the past eleven years. He's
also supplied me with never-ending 'Hobbes' stories since pixiebobs are
full of personality and I think Hobbes got more than his fair share!
He's the most special cat there ever was!
