Ooohhhhh, he’s a bubba! I wan’t him.
cute
He’s beautiful!!
aaawwwwhhhhh – nearly as cute as new grandson Jackson (no he’s not called Michael!) Is this a replacement for Bob? Spoke to Su this morning…..
Yes – he’s a replacement for Bob, who of course was irreplaceable.
I guess until he is housebroken he will go by the name of Oedipus Wrecks, then after he visits the vet he will become Oedipus Lacks. Nice alert kitten!
