Reflection

My boy loves the sun..and his own handsome reflection!!!

Comfy??

 This position is one of his faves, but when he's like this, he SNORES.  Dude!!!  Really????

At least he's happy!

Tastes like chicken

When I first adopted my guy, I bought a fair number of toys.  I bought him CAT toys.  Mistake.  He loved the frogs that I got, but removed their heads pretty quickly.  So, I switched to DOG toys.  He's a big guy and giving him a toy that fits him (and lasts a while), is the way to go.  And as you may or may not know, frog legs (or stuffed dog frog toys) taste like chicken!

Posing for pictures

Look how sweet and proper he is here.  Front paws crossed, oh so pretty.  Two minutes before this, he had run around the house like a maniac.  He's got issues, this one!!!

THIEF!!!!

I got up from the couch and that little dork STOLE MY SEAT!  Tired cats win out over relaxing humans!

Like a Lion...NOT

Oh yeah, this is one scary cat....or not.  He's a 20 pounder, intimidating size  for sure, but his meow is much like a newborn kitten.  It's a little embarrassing when you see him, this big thing and then he let's out a barely audible 'meow'....

He didn't start out as a chatty guy at all.  But now, he can be demanding of treats and his own GPS (which means if I leave the room when he's sleeping and he wakes to find me NOT there, he'll let out a little meow and like an idiot, I answer.  Okay, Okay, he has ME trained, but come on, that face?!?!?  Can't be avoided!!!

Copy cat..

Wondering if he got drunk at the office party and started to copy his butt over and over...

More likely, he's decided that the printer is higher than the desk and therefore worthy of perching upon.  Twenty pounds on my fragile printer.  I still can't resist that face!

When you're happy and you know it, fall asleep..

Sound asleep, he's on his back after a nice long belly run.  Really? Are you SURE you're a cat???

Extreme closeup!

My little (huge) guy, trying hard to get to hands while the hands try to take a picture!  He is such a camera hound!  But come one, with a face like that, wouldn't YOU want your picture taken a lot??

My sister Cindy took this picture while trying to give him all the love and adoration he feels he deserves.  He is basically crawling up to her face here.. He cracks me up!

Let me explain this blogspot

This is a blog about a handsome cat named Bunny.

I'm told his story starts with being thrown away.

Years ago, 7 to be precise, this guy was thrown away and found at a campground.  He found himself trying to enter a feral cat colony, in hopes of being able to eat.  Somebody found that he was in fact, not feral and injured from being in a fight.  During this fight, he received a deep, penetrating, intra-muscular bite.  He was then officially infected with the FIV virus.  Feline AIDS.

Marley's Cat Tales took this handsome fellow into their program and got him healthy, neutered and well fed.  So, one day, strolling through PetSmart, I see that face.  I just lost my kitty of 19 years about 4 months earlier.  I went to PetSmart to just take a look, not knowing my heart would soon be stolen.

He was first named Mr. Big.  For anybody having seen Sex in the City, you know who Mr. Big is.  Handsome and the ladies love him.  Well, Mr. Big came into my arms, started purring and then fell asleep.  Oh yeah, he was mine at that moment.

Filled out an application after asking endless questions about FIV.  The Marley's Cat Tales website has all the answers.  http://www.marleyscattales.org/  The following weekend, I was driving my furry boy home.

I must say this: Marley's goes to great pains to tell you all about FIV.  These wonderful creatures deserve a chance.  FIV is NOT a death sentence.  Keep them healthy, well fed with good nutrtion, indoors and regular vetting and they have a normal life span.  These are NOT throw away animals!!

Please visit their website!!

So, trail and error, I realized he did not answer to Mr. Big, but the B sound was the thing.  He hops like a bunny, so you can see where I went from there!!

What are the downsides?  He takes up most of the bed.  He snores.  He burps and at times, he likes to help me type.  He's HUGE!  A Maine Coon.  VERY dog like.  Follows me around all the time, 'barks' at the squirrels in our backyard, plays with dog sized toys (cat sized toys are too small).  However, I would think not many people would consider any of those things downsides.  He is in a word, the best!

So this blog shall chronicle the life and times of this cat, this huge, furry, handsome cat/dog!  I hope you enjoy hopping over to Bunny's Blog!!
