BIG NEWS!!
 
A famous priest, Tony Bridge, Jr., has done a genealogical chart on me.  I am related to Amenhotep's great cat God, Bobby Hotep.   A direct descendant of the cat god makes me a cat god too.  I shall henceforth be known as Bobby Hotep!
 
 

 My job is to spread light and knowledge to everyone in Avinger.  As the resident Cat God I visit my subjects to teach them enlightenment.  As they feed me, the gain blessings from the great Bobby Hotep.  I am working on an outfit suitable for a Cat God.  When I get it finished, I will see that my keepers photograph me and post a suitable picture.
 
My biggest problem is that Cliocatra, my nemesis, lives with my keepers and she hisses and curses me constantly.  I can't figure out why she doesn't realize I'm a God and worship me.  She growls at me everytime I walk by, and I'm thinking she may sic her asp on me!  A Cat God has to be careful of cat women bearing snakes!

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Bob Bross 

Avinger, Texas Town Cat

 

 

Bob Bross is the Avinger, Texas (pop. 442) "Town Cat".  He is a yellow tabby with no tail and he roams around town, visiting businesses and homes, looking for love and handouts.  Bob recently went courting and received some serious wounds.  His right eye was almost scratched out and his testicles were scratched.  Bob was taken to the vet where he has been neutered and is currently wearing a button sewn on his eye to protect it while it heals. He is living with some protective ladies while he's in rehab.  Bob has some vet bills and needs some help getting them paid.  Any donations would be appreciated.  He thinks he might want to be a house cat now and is enjoying sleeping in a warm, soft place.  He's been vaccinated and has decided that cat food is preferable to going door to door.

See what happens when you go courting?

I hope I won't be blind when they take this off

Update on Bob 3/17/2014 Bob is celebrating St. Patrick's Day at the Cat Spa.  He can't have his button removed yet because his eye is still too swollen. He is feeling fine otherwise, and actually went walkabout for about 2 hours last week before he was corralled at one of his favorite food stops and brought back to his keepers.  He is quite anxious to be outside and free to move about the town.

Doc sewed this button on to protect my eye. AARGGG!

Free at last, God A'mighty I'm free at last! Update:  Mar. 25, 2014 Bob has had a very interesting several days.  He went to the Cat Spa (Vet) for the weekend.  His button was removed and on Sunday night or early Monday morning, he busted out.  The vet's employees found his cage wide open and no sign of Bob.  Finally, around noon on Monday, he appeared from nowhere to advise he wanted his lunch.  Needless to say, his keepers were called and he was brought home.  His eye looks much better and is getting drops twice a day.  He has been outside in the sun and is enjoying his freedom very much! April 10, 2014 My Mom says I have to start doing my own blogging, so here I am, Yeeeowww, tyring my hand at blogging.  I've been busy since I got my button off.  There is a yellow cat who looks just like me but with a long tail, and he lives in the woods across from my Mom and Bear's house.  He comes looking for me and wants to fight.  I have to confess, I am a great warrior, but I can't fight very well.  My Mom says I don't stand right, that I'm not a boxer and I can't stand with my back legs all spread apart.  But they are too long and it's all I can do.  I can't crouch down and jump up cause it hurts my hips. I'm trying hard not to fight.  I get scratched every time.  I went to see Pam Downs last week, she lives in a big white house close to town and she feeds me.  She has granddaughters who love to pet me, so I like going over there.  She works at City Hall and I know if I show up at noon when she goes home for lunch I'll get some good bites. I also go to Coach and Linda Loyd's every day.  They have cats who are friends of mine and I like to eat with them.  I also enjoy their front porch, they have chair cushions.  Coach comes home from school at 3 and feeds his cats, so I try to get by there for that.  He keeps telling me he's not going to feed me anymore but I know he's a pushover.  He's planting his garden now.  Yummmy rabbits later! I have to go now.  I have to be across town at April Aycock's to see what she has to eat.  I'm too fat now to shinny under Mom's gate, I have to climb up and over. Dang!
