Hobbes

May 5, 2009

Patty says: My cat Hobbes is a lucky one. My boyfriend and I had been looking for a kitten for a while and we came in contact with a lady who had taken in a stray cat who was pregnant. After giving birth, the woman was trying to find homes for the kittens or else she would have to take them to an already crowded shelter because she had big dogs that were a danger to the kittens. We took Hobbes when he was five weeks old, still wobbly on his feet, and had the cutest stubby tail. He slept curled up under my neck for as long as he could fit there and stole my heart.

He looks wise, and noble, like the philosopher Thomas Hobbes!

what you wrote about him was so sweet too-
"He slept curled up under my neck for as long as he could fit there and stole my heart."

What an adoreable little kitty. I had a cat that liked to stick her tougue out but not while she was sleeping; all we had to do was look at her and she was giving us raspberries.
