With all the nick names I have given him over the years I never thought of that one.

He is pretty and very squishy.

My best kitty friend ever was named Bob. Its a fantastic name.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It does fit him very well. He's very Bob.

Our Bob came from the shelter as Ollie, but he was never Ollie.

Ollie became Oddball -> Bobbles -> Bob. And Bob just seemed right.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

We have rescued a lot of cats over the years and I have always told people that they kind of name themselves. Just like Ollie became Bob cause that's who he really is.

Bob is a foster fail along with his brother Jack.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just as I said. Perfect in every way. That's how you know. Couldn't bear to give him up. Say hi to Bob and Jack for me.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I did. I think Jack smiled back.

The floof, the feetsies, the tail wrap - 10/10 from me <3

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

Bob says thank you.

[–] nylo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I will sift through the dozens I have and find the best.

Very soft, we always say he is the the boneless model.

Bob gave you a wink.

There is a meme/Gif for everything. And me and Bob even watched this one. Bob says she was the real hero.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

I trust Bob

And I fucking love Bob.

Bob looks like he would enjoy sitting with somebody while they read a book. And possible a larger cat-tree platform.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The cuddling and cat tree for sure. And you have to pet him while he eats.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

These are quite acceptable terms.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

Small price to pay.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

His name is Robert Paulson.

[–] HiroProtagonist@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Monday to Friday at the office he is Robert but he'll always be Bob to us.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Project mayhem does not have office hours.
