Anyone who has spent any time at my friend Sharon's pasture knows Bobby. He's a barn cat with a rap sheet. He was kicked out of several barns before landing with Sharon, where he's lived a great life.
Phenomenal hunter, he weeded out all the weak quail until the flocks that dared to live in his field were slim, fast, and wary. He slimmed down the population of gophers, as well. Many a riding lesson has been interrupted with a gift of a severed gopher's head, laid in the dust.

Bobby was a force to be reckoned with, and not a cat to be trifled with. If he wanted petting, he'd let you know. And when he was done being petted, he'd let you know that, too. Part Bobcat, Bobby had tenacity and fire, legs that could send him in a vertical leap a kangaroo would be pleased with, and a wrestlers bandi-legged walk.
Bobby is well loved, and he leaves a large hole in many lives. He will be missed and remembered.
Rest well dear Bobby.

A video from Youtube, "I'm a Barn Cat" dedicated to Bobby....
"Barn cat with a rap sheet". LOL! Yeah, he was one scary due of a cat. That one picture I saw was frightening. What a 'tude! May he terrorize every unwitting creature out there, in his after-life. You know he gets one. The powers that be wouldn't dare quell THAT upriser! Condolences to Sharon, brave lass that paroled him! And Sam, brave man!
