Whose the Boss!.....................................by Diane Ogden


Those black pants are mine sitting on my red leather desk chair.   Bob called "dibs" on my lap tonight.  Grace usually calls that her domain.  As you can see Grace was on her hind legs attempting to regain her throne upon my lap.  Bob reached out his paw to give her a gentle nudge which believe me is unusual.  His nudges are not always gentle.....young male kid that he is. 

Grace ended up retreating!!  Smart girl that she is.  Of course after Gracie's retreat Bob left his lap throne for other parts unknown.  He won!  Don't worry, Grace is back in my graces and in my lap. 

Bob still rules and he knows it.

Satan Bob in Waiting................................................by Diane Ogden

Need I say more?  Check out the past post where he destroyed what you are seeing here plus all my wrapping paraphernalia.....  I cant spell that, or maybe I can. 

Satan Bob is a master con.....  Notice below? He cuddles with me every night. 

Its really hard to take Bob selfies at 4 a.m.  but I keep trying....
He must have been born in May.  Gemini the twin.  He is as good as he is bad!!

My Personal Shredder Named Bob.....................................by Diane Ogden


So after the 35 jars of Grandma Tillie's Pfeffernut cookies were given out to each and every client and family member I used the table to wrap a few gifts.  Apparently I was busy elsewhere in the building when Bob had himself a party!  At one point I heard the tissue paper being torn and then a few other strange noises.  I found this in the morning!!  The little Bob elf had a party on the table.  It used to have a nice gold tablecloth, a red checked runner, place mats (on the chair under him and on the floor).  Tissue paper and wrapping articles. 

He doesn't appear to have an ounce of guilt now does he?  That's Bob.  He is quite sure he rules......
Or maybe he doesn't even care.  He just is.  Like God you know...God just is. Not that Bob is like God of course.  Rather that some things just are. 

More Cat Tales later......

Cookie Cat. Controls ......................................by Diane Ogden

Bob tends to feel he needs to control every situation in our home.  I did not wish to give my friends and family cookies with cat hair attached to the fabric tops.  So I covered them with that pretty tablecloth.  As you can see Bob controlled the new situation also.   That's my Bob!

MyHuman Cat!..........................by Diane Ogden

He doesn't open doors or poop on the toilet or sit at the table.  Rather he seems to have an ability to do certain non animal things.  
                                           Bob reading his blog...............
For instance he curls up next to me at night like a child.  Places his paws on my face and wont move them unless I hold his paw.  So I hold his paw for hours every night!  He makes sure there is a place for him on my messy computer desk. 

Tonight I tried to pick him up and move him because he was rubbing on my touch screen screen  messing up everything I was working on.  When I went to pick him up he grabbed onto the bottom of the PC Screen and hung on both sides so I couldn't move him!  Say what??
There is more. 

I adore the little man and he adores me.  That's enough.
Oh, he cannot go out on the porch anymore.  For 8 years my cat Lucy went out on the porch not realizing she could jump over the railing.  (I put up a baby netting)  Bob went out on the porch for almost two years enjoying every Sunday sleeping out there in the sunshine...  Then one day he saw me taking Gracie dog out to podie..   He immediately jumped over to come with me and every since if I let him out he seeks freedom immediately.  Then I have to run out my door, down the hall, outside, find him and carry him back!  What a wonderful thing to have gotten ruined!  I should not have ever let him see me outside.  He's my little man and he goes where I go. 
I suspect he was an outside cat at one time.   I sure hate keeping him in.  But then, who would he sleep with if he lived outside.

Lucy Lou found a very soft place to rest on top of my peach colored satin pillows.
And just as she got very cozy.......guess who decided to show her whose boss!


And guess who was hiding in the background!  (Gracie Allen Ogden)
