Mission From Bob
by Lee Bonde
Bob was a cat that Liz and I met at a shelter we both volunteered for and then eventually worked at. He was an awesome cat that used to love to walk on a leash and the dog lover in me loved that. He was extremely laid back and it seemed like all the other cats would scatter around him while people fussed with him and kids pet him and none of it ever seemed to bother him.
I began to look at him like he was a little Zen cat, especially on our walks when we he would go for a bit and then plop over in the sun. He also had a habit of "trick or treating" the other cat houses in the vicinity. He would literally walk from building to building and wait until a caregiver came out and gave him a little kitty treat, it was adorable.
On our trips to the shelter to see Bob and the other animals we started to use the Blues Brothers tag line, tweaked ever so slightly, to say "We are on a mission from Bob" and from there sprang these stories. I have several ideas for more and hope to get them out of my head on to the site soon. I hope you enjoy!!
