Orange Bob - twisteroo - 11-30-2014
Orange Bob showed up a few days ago.
He's very friendly and loves our food. He's wearing a collar with reflectors on it. I'm gonna find out tomorrow about getting him scanned and see if he by chance has a chip. I've put ads on Craigslist and answered on a long shot ad from the Rochester area about a missing orange cat with no tail, it wasn't him.
I gotta get this guy back home or find him a new home. Who wouldn't want a nice friendly Orange Bob?

He may be a purebred Manx cat. How to tell: he will be missing a vertebrae where the spine and tail meet. It will have a small 'hollow' as if there is a bit of a 'dip' then the tail. He will also be a little 'ass high' when he walks, almost as if he's walking downhill due to longer back legs. Not by much, so you have to have a good eye.
His tail doesn't look 'unnatural'. He's a handsome dude!
If you can get a couple of good side shots of him for me where he's walking even I might be able to see. Maybe a video if you can too. I found a Manx cat once long ago. He followed me home in the woods while I was on my horse. He kept meowing and following until I got to the busy road. I got off the horse, stuffed the dirty guy into my coat and zipped him in good. Risking a shredding by some stray while he freaks out from the noise of the traffic, off I went toward home. He didn't mind the warm digs and stayed in the coat all the way home - 3 miles. i was still on Staten Island too.
We named him Elmer J. Stubbs and he was the coolest guy - very much like Iggy was. Poor guy dropped dead several years later here in NJ while he was eating his breakfast.

Orange Bob. Good looking cat. Doesn't look like a stray, or if he is, he knows how to take care of himself!
Good luck finding him either home, or a home.

Hello Mrs. Twisteroo!
Usually you only get to see one middle finger.

LOL that's funny because that's my 'gig' in photos

I spent the morning posting ads, e-mailing, and printing flyers. I'm gonna find out about getting him scanned for a chip next.
Shit, I even signed into face book so I can get him on a local face book lost and found pet site.

Orange Bob got scanned at the vet, no chip.
He seems comfortable in the barn, although Angus and Scruffy need to leave him alone. They seem to think they need to fight with every other cat in the county.
I have ads posted everywhere, a flyer up in the post office and I even stopped by the animal shelter on my way home and dropped one off. It seems that they had already heard about him through my ads and posting this morning.
I only dropped a flyer off at the shelter, not Orange Bob.

Orange Bob looks like a house cat.
RE: Orange Bob - Biker Dude - 12-01-2014
I agree. He looks healthy, not thin.
