The Story of Hobbes
And now, due to popular demand - specifically DG’s request - I present the brief story of my cat, Hobbes.
Despite what the name may imply, Hobbes is a girl. I didn’t name her. In fact, she’s about 9 years old (don’t remember how old exactly), and I’ve only had her for about 2 years. She was in the care of Jessica’s father who could no longer care for her (they had two other cats besides and with constant traveling they wanted to get rid of one). So, she was basically on her way to the pound, which given her extreme weight problem, likely would have been the death of her.
Sooooo, I took her in! And I’m glad! She’s my baby… believe it or not, she’s actually lost a ton of weight (put her on a diet), and she’s totally quirky. Her favorite activities include trying to run around corners on my hardwood floor without sliding into the wall (and she’s rarely successful, she still has a lot of sideways inertia), and laying on her back… literally. I’ll get a picture of that someday. Anyway, here’s a picture of her:
