Bob and that Lizard Tail

Bob has become an important part of the farm.  He's a permanent fixture here now.  During the day he sleeps on one of the porches, and at night time he sleeps in unknown places in the woods.  He's always out there somewhere, we just have to call for him if he's not already under our feet and he comes running.  That's our Farm Cat Bob.

Bob has many important jobs around the farm.  He is the friendly furry little kitty who keeps us company outside.

 Bob makes sure our legs get rubbed whenever we go out back.  If we should decide to sit down outside, he warms our laps by sitting in our laps.



Bob is Jerry's BFF.  Jerry doesn't have many male cat friends.  Actually, I think Bob may be Jerry's only friend.  Jerry needed a friend.  Because Bob is so friendly to us, it has made Jerry more friendly.  
Although Jerry still will NOT let us pet him.

Bob already ate breakfast. Now Jerry is eating.

Jerry goes on his way, Bob stays at our house after eating breakfast.  Bob has chores to do.

Oh, I almost forgot Bob's #1 job.  Bob has been told that he must keep our yards and porches mouse and lizard-free.  And he does a good job at his work.  We used to have many pretty blue lizards on the back porch.


Not anymore!  Here is a lizard tail that Bob left behind.  The rest of the lizard ran for it's life.  The tail separated from the lizard, as it's supposed to do.  Bob was busy with the tail and the lizard lived another day.  Eventually the tail stopped twisting and turning and Bob lost interest in it.  Then the ants had their breakfast.

Tomorrow I will continue with the stories about the remaining photos...

Bob is a nice little addition. I'm glad Jerry has accepted him! But poor Jerry is so skinny! Do you see around much during the day?
