R.I.P. Kitty Cat Bob

I am sad to write that our beloved kitty cat Bob suddenly died today.  I was sitting on our couch with baby Moses and watched Bob try to jump up on the ottoman to peer out the window.  He fell back to the floor and went into convulsions.  He was unresponsive.  I called Russ to come home from the office to check Bob out. — Nothing — no response. 

I took Bob out to our local vet to have them see if they could tell the cause of death.  Our vet does mostly large animals, but was very sympathetic and told me he would get back to us.  We will probably bury Bob out at the farm where we got him.

Bob had been acting owly towards Hilton at night.  But we didn’t think anything of it.  Bob had just had a check up and shots two weeks ago.  We’re wondering if he got into something with our house construction going on right now.

Hilton is just laying on the bed sleeping – he sniffed at Bob while he was still lying on the floor.

It’s a sad day at the Russ from Winterset household.  Maybe Bob the Cat and Spunky the Dog are up in pet heaven playing together.

Will miss you Bob Cat, Roberto Gato, Bob Kitty, Bobby . . . my kitty cat Bob.
