I grieved for months it seemed at the time and I still miss him very much. However Bobby Manx is the cat in my life for the rest of his. He's a real Manx, with 24 toes, long back legs and a short tail. He was a great hunter when I lived in Jenner. Often bringing me his trophies to see before eating them. He knocked a hummingbird down one day and I was unable to save it even though I got it from him right away. It died in my hand. What a sad moment that was. I haven't been witness to him catching anything here in Forestville. There are a lot of cats running around so maybe there's just too much competition. At any rate he now eats the same dry dogfood from the same bowl as my Sh'tzu/Yorky Beanie. But, he also has a thing for canned salmon. He'll eat the pink, but really prefers the red which is twice the price of course. Oh well... He is pretty special. So I don't mind. Besides he gives me SOOOO much love! Aloha ke Akua! The Love of God! Mahalo nui loa! Aloha, TimoMonday, April 6, 2009
The Love of Bob
I've had my cat(?) Bob since he was a tiny kitten. I got he and his brother Bill when I was living in a little house on Old Redwood Highway between Santa Rosa and Windsor in 1997. Billy got run over by the delivery guy for the Press Democrat early one morning about 8 years later in 2005 when I was living on the hill in Jenner.
