Bob, the Cat of the Day
Name: Bob
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Domestic Short hair
Home: Nevada, USA
 
   Bob is our special little guy. We adopted him from the humane society back in Indiana. My husband wanted an adult cat who would be more mellow than a kitten. At the shelter, Bob was the only fully grown cat and he was in a cage all by himself. We were told that he was the last of a big bunch of cats left on their doorstep and he had been there several weeks. They had even halved his adoption fee, he had been there so long.

    We took Bob into one of their "meet the animal" rooms. My husband sat in the chair and Bob immediately jumped on his lap and laid down to get comfortable. It was then we knew we had found our cat.

    Bob is a sweetie, through and through. He loves being near his people and loves being held like a baby (he even demands it most days!). He tries to be friends with everybody that he meets. He loves to play with his toys, including his stuffed arnold schwarzennegar toy and his stuffed caveman toy. In fact, when one or both of us leaves in the morning, our absence upsets him and he will walk through the house, carrying the caveman toy in his mouth, meowing loudly through it. He even does it some mornings when I'm in the shower (presumably because he can't find me!).

    I still can't imagine why anyone would dump Bob off at a shelter or why he had been there so long - but I'm glad that we found him!
