Our Bob is part desert lynx. He’s spotted instead of striped. He’s a bit feral but not violent. He’s quite stupid, probably the stupidest cat I’ve ever had but he does know enough not to stay outside after 8 p.m. Weighs about 14 pounds. He’s not very cuddly except at 2 a.m.
Perhaps stupid in your world. But I challenge you to live more than 3 days in his desert world.
He is quite intelligent...just not in a way you appreciate.
Poor Bob, he can't balance the books or use the microwave...but he can feed himself in the wild and find water in the oddest of places.
Poor Bob, indeed.
