In Loving Memory of Bob

Bob was born in 2018 on Cinco de Mayo (May 5th 2018). For close to two years he was a stray in Queen Anne before being adopted by Simon in January 2021.

From the start Bob was always a shy yet loving cat. He would make his love known only from a distance, or late at night when he came to snuggle up to you whenever he though you were asleep.

He was a strong cat, striving to forge his own path in life whether that be seeking to escape the apartment whenever Simon came home from work.

When Simon moved to New York City in March of 2024, he accompanied him on the cross-country trip. He soon made his home in New York, taking over the three-bed apartment Simon shared with two roommates and quickly converting one of the cat-hating roommates into Bob's biggest fan.

Bob always had a big heart, even when he didn't show it readily. He was a sensitive boy, waiting for Simon when he came home from long business trips even though he pretended in his nonchalant detachment that the distance didn't bother him.

The world could not ask for a kinder, more handsome, or stronger cat than Bob.

He passed away from cancer in the early hours of May 16th, 2026. Bob will be dearly missed.
