Bob Jr. is an older kitten that appears at A Litter of Cats Who Love Each Other. He is one of Bob's children; he and his siblings were born in May 2024. He, along with his siblings, Bill and Brutus, are collectively called the Boblets. He was named after his mother due to the fact that when the kittens were little, his personality was most similar to Bob's. He and his siblings were first sighted on May 30, 2024.
Behavior
When Bob Jr. was a baby, he got scared when food was dropped, just like Bill. However, he quickly got used to it, and soon he was the biggest eater out of Bob's three kittens. He would frequently squeeze himself in while other cats were eating and start eating alongside them. He would also meow frequently at his mother while she was eating so she could get up and let him eat. As he got older, though, he mellowed out considerably, although he still eats lots. He enjoys eating both snacks and kibble.
He is most often seen hanging around the feeder with other kittens. He seems to be close to both of his siblings. Usually, he is seen eating while his siblings look on or hang out outside, although he is occasionally seen watching his siblings eat. He is seen to have a playful side, as he enjoys playing with his siblings, and he enjoys jumping and playing on the roof of the feeder. While he did initially hiss and glare at Dan when he showed up while the Boblets were hanging out, he ultimately does not mind the presence of cats from outside his family. Like the other Boblets, he has become friends with Mack.
Appearance
Bob Jr. is an Orange Tabby. He has more white spotting than his brother, Bill, and his lookalike from Dame Knight's family, Dan, but has less white spotting than Mack. The biggest way to differentiate Bob Jr. from Dan is that Bob Jr. has a much narrower stripe of orange on the back of his neck and upper back. He also has an orange blotch to the left of his nose, while Dan has an orange blotch to the right of his nose. The tabby stripes on Bob Jr.'s back are noticeable, but they're not quite as bold as Dan's. Bob Jr.'s tail is orange.
