Bob–The super cat

I am at work at the moment.  I have been here since 12pm.  It is Saturday and it is quite quiet.  I have another 3 hours and 40 minutes before i can go home and then i am on call all night. 

So i have decided to have a big afternoon of blogging, assuming nothing changes. 

Bob is our cat and we acquired him about 5 years ago as a young stray.  He was a very, very friendly little kitten and loved to share his love with both of us.  We had him for a year before we moved to the UK. 

Corinne’s parents have been looking after him ever since.  So he is now about 5 years old and will soon be moving out to the farm with us in July.  We asked the parents if they wanted to keep him, but they said they want to be free and easy, just in case they want to take off on a holiday, trip or whatever.

So, Bob is the biggest cat either of us have really ever seen and as vets we see a lot of cats.  He is about 7-7.5kgs and not overweight.  I have seen much heavier cats but they have been mostly fat and not cat. 

Bob or Bossy as he is sometimes called is very well behaved (mostly) and comes when called.  He loves a pat and also likes to lie on your chest and stare at you and schmoose you from about 1 cm away.  Lately he has taken to waking up Corinne’s parents every morning at 4:30am.  He is obviously in charge and so his servants oblige him. 

I have some pictures of him when we were in Barellan point a few weeks ago.  The weather was hot and humid and Bob spent a lot of time trying to cool himself on the cooler tiles.
