If Bob had a driver's license...

... this would be his DMV mugshot:

Dude, I'm like... all serious and stuff.

I love, love, love the kittie shots.

Funny............HE doesn't look like an oompa-loompa LOL

That is one handsome cat! It totally looks like a mugshot - defiant & daring. Have a great Wednesday, hopefully all around you will be kind.

Posted by: Miriam Mc. at May 7, 2008 08:37 AM

He could SO drive. Such a cute kitty.

Posted by: NIFER at May 7, 2008 08:39 AM

What a great photo!! Every time I point a camera at my brood they start moving. Bob is quite the heartbreaker!!

Posted by: Liz R at May 7, 2008 08:47 AM

DUDE!

Posted by: Amanda at May 7, 2008 08:49 AM

Oh, like a driver's license photo would ever look THAT good....

He's such a hunny...

Posted by: Shelly at May 7, 2008 08:50 AM

I gotta tell ya that Bob is my fav !!

:-)

Posted by: SueT. at May 7, 2008 09:04 AM

That is just the sweetest little face! Love him to death!

Posted by: Julie at May 7, 2008 09:13 AM

Your next book should maybe be a how-to manual on how to take beautiful pet photos. That is really incredible.

Posted by: Janet at May 7, 2008 09:13 AM

Such a pretty boy! Wish my driver's license picture looked that good.

Posted by: Kit at May 7, 2008 09:13 AM

Toonces! I didn't know you could drive!

Posted by: Kate at May 7, 2008 09:15 AM

He's all... sensitive male model. Love!

Posted by: silverblue at May 7, 2008 09:20 AM

He is sooooo adorable!

Posted by: Toni at May 7, 2008 09:23 AM

Really? I thought to get a pic for your licence, passport, id card, etc, etc you had to be looking particularly grim. Perhaps you just haven't got that special lens they use for formal id pics!

Posted by: trashalou at May 7, 2008 09:33 AM

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW - - so adorable!

Luvs me some Bob pictures . . . :-)

Posted by: Liz J in Central Illinois at May 7, 2008 09:34 AM

too cute for words!

now, a DMV shot of sobakawa would break the camera; frankie would smile sweetly, perhaps wink at the photographer.

update - gas at my corner this morning was $3.65.

Posted by: anne marie in philly at May 7, 2008 09:36 AM

Oh my gosh! I totally have to animate Bob!!! Soooooo Bobalicious!!!

Posted by: Marlene at May 7, 2008 09:37 AM

That picture is way too good to be a DMV shot. The DMV would have waited until he blinked and yawned at the same time and then taken a picture.

Posted by: -R- at May 7, 2008 09:38 AM

Is that look "Blue Steel" or "Le Tigre"? ;)

Posted by: heidi at May 7, 2008 09:41 AM

Speaking of driving (kind of), I saw this and thought of you:

Posted by: Laura GF at May 7, 2008 09:57 AM

How did you keep him from being scared?? Did you put catnip on the camera??

Posted by: ErinLindsey at May 7, 2008 10:00 AM

Bob is a handsome mofo!

Posted by: Pants at May 7, 2008 10:05 AM

I'm always complaining that there is no eye candy to be stuck in traffic with these days....I think more cats should drive!

Posted by: knitting nix at May 7, 2008 10:06 AM

My sweet precious poses prettily for pictures, that is until the snap. She ducks her head down the second I push the button. I have lots of pictures of the top of her head!

Posted by: Jane at May 7, 2008 10:12 AM

Judging by the comments, it looks like the cure for world crankiness is...More Bob Pics!!

Posted by: Terri at May 7, 2008 10:13 AM

Nah. He looks too good in that picture. Everyone knows you ALWAYS look like CRAPOLA in your drivers license. LOL

Posted by: Shellie at May 7, 2008 10:15 AM

Looks more like a glamour shot than a mug shot! How cute is he? All his kitty fuzziness going on! With those whiskers!

I may need to make him my screen saver! Awwwww!

Posted by: Sandy at May 7, 2008 10:16 AM

lol, Bob in his 'tough guy' persona.

Posted by: Jo Ann at May 7, 2008 10:30 AM

But what type of car would Bob drive? 70's Corvette with the top down? one of those small old Thunderbirds? P.T. Cruiser with custom 'Bob' colored flames? harharhar

Posted by: cecelia at May 7, 2008 10:40 AM

and he doesn't look skeered of anything! even that creepy cat up in the Hartz ad....

Posted by: AlliMack at May 7, 2008 10:44 AM

Yeah, but would he lie about his weight? Heh.

Posted by: Debbi at May 7, 2008 10:51 AM

That couldn't possibly be his driver's license photo. It looks serious, yes, but it's too pretty. DMV photos always make the subject look hideous--it's a rule of nature.

Posted by: Kendra at May 7, 2008 10:57 AM

Dude, his mugshot looks so much better than mine! He look like Lion King while mine seems to be coming straight from thesmokinggun.com!

Posted by: Agnes at May 7, 2008 11:17 AM

It's like he's saying "I solemnly swear, I will drive carefully even in L.A. traffic, keep my middle appendage to myself, obey all posted traffic laws and carpool whenever possible... as long as you promise to feed me, pet me, and let me keep the crinkle cave."

Posted by: Jeanne B. at May 7, 2008 11:26 AM

Such beautiful eyes!

Posted by: Imbrium at May 7, 2008 11:27 AM

Bob looks like he would be a very responsible driver. Wish my license photo looked that good.

Posted by: Mellanie at May 7, 2008 11:30 AM

Thought I was on LOLCats for a moment. ;D

Posted by: Cynthia at May 7, 2008 11:46 AM

Bob is way more photogenic than I am. ("Im in ur Deeemvee gettin mai lisens" says Bob.)

Posted by: Lucia at May 7, 2008 12:46 PM

I can't possibly add anything to what the others have already said. Just - Bob!!! scratch, tickle, pet, squeeze...

Awesome pic.

Posted by: Leeny at May 7, 2008 12:50 PM

Hey Bob, I have a couple of cute girl cats living with me, you handsome dude! Give us a jingle some time. 1-408 - Mee-oow

Posted by: Lugene at May 7, 2008 01:08 PM

Wow, he is all serious and stuff, huh? I'd say he might take the jeep out for a spin when you're not around, but that would be too scary, no?

Posted by: Amy in StL at May 7, 2008 01:10 PM

he is way more photogenic than I am!

Posted by: suetreiber at May 7, 2008 01:20 PM

heart...is...melting... I could just stare at Bob all day. "No, sorry, I didn't finish those reports, Got Bob here. Staring at him. Won't be done staring till about 5."

Posted by: Marilyn at May 7, 2008 01:31 PM

Tooo cute...can't stop....trying to pet monitor...

Posted by: Susan at May 7, 2008 01:37 PM

I love you, Bob!!!

Posted by: Kim at May 7, 2008 01:43 PM

I had a cat named Toonces !!!

Posted by: Lorraine at May 7, 2008 02:26 PM

Wait a minute; where's the profile view?

Posted by: (formerly) no-blog-rachel at May 7, 2008 02:59 PM

That is the sweetest cat face ever.

Posted by: Jill S. at May 7, 2008 03:01 PM

I love Bob.......

Posted by: Lynn at May 7, 2008 03:45 PM

I love Bob. (I miss Roy.)

Hey, in this shot, he almost looks like he knows what's going on.

Posted by: Patti at May 7, 2008 04:13 PM

That's an awful GOOD picture for DMV! Wish mine was that good....

Posted by: Joanne at May 7, 2008 04:50 PM

I love Bob!

Posted by: Anne at May 7, 2008 04:58 PM

I LOVE kitty face days!!!!

That can't possibly be his DMV picture, he looks good. No one looks good on their license.

Posted by: Sally at May 7, 2008 05:45 PM

Nope, Bob doesn't have to drive ... any one of us goofy Bob fans would be his chauffeur.

Posted by: Carol at May 7, 2008 05:51 PM

and in indiana, if he had a current driver's license or other state-issued i.d., he probably could have voted in our primaries on tuesday.

those who could not vote because they lacked such i.d.s included a 98-year-old nun from notre dame and several other sisters.

nobody had documented a problem, but our illustrious legislature "solved" it, the supremes rubber-stamped it and now a right that's supposed to be taken away only if you're convicted of a felony is conditioned on going through the hassle of getting an i.d. it's basically another form of poll tax, since those least likely to have i.d.s are elderly people of color.

Posted by: ellen in indy at May 7, 2008 05:58 PM

Bob's looking very presidential-candidate-like to me...he has my vote & my love...pretty, pretty Bob
(missing Roy too)..kate in W. Palm Beach-adjacent

Posted by: gypsybaker at May 7, 2008 06:15 PM

awwww...he is too cute for words!

Posted by: Lesli at May 7, 2008 06:16 PM

Check out that eye liner. How did he get that applied?

Posted by: Debby at May 7, 2008 06:39 PM

Much too handsome for a DMV photo!

Posted by: janna at May 7, 2008 07:52 PM

Hi to Bob!
Maybe a solution to yesterday's post could be more knitting? I am on a business trip from Seattle and want to meet your SnB group at the Farmer's market. I hope maybe you'll be there or at least someone will be.

Posted by: Carrie at May 7, 2008 08:27 PM

Bob's hot. You should have a kitty dmv photo contest.

Posted by: elizabeth at May 7, 2008 08:34 PM

Can I buy that picture for my DMV picture? hehehe

Posted by: Vicki T. at May 7, 2008 09:09 PM

Oh Laurie! I just saw this video and thought of you and your mondegreens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXl6EY-S7q4&feature=email

Posted by: Laurie D at May 7, 2008 09:24 PM

And the background matches his EYES......!

Posted by: ramona at May 7, 2008 09:33 PM

That's a totally awesome Bob portrait.

Posted by: Peggy Archer at May 7, 2008 09:40 PM

Cute Bob!!!

Posted by: Jena at May 7, 2008 09:43 PM

OMFG, LauraGF, see that tiny dark red dot in the middle of GA? That is the neighborhood where I live! Very handy info...

Posted by: Cait at May 7, 2008 11:11 PM

Wonder if he could stand in for my DMV shot?

Posted by: Debbie at May 8, 2008 04:34 AM

Knowing of Bob's skeerty nature, I think he would be either an old-school Volvo (for the safety factor) or maybe a Saturn. Nothing to draw attention.

And every time I talk to the CatMan about Bob, I pronounce it with a French accent so it comes out like "Bub" ala 'French Kiss'.

Posted by: Dusa at May 8, 2008 04:53 AM

Looks more Serious Book Author cover photo to me...

Posted by: Sue F. at May 8, 2008 06:34 AM

Very Handsome boy! I'm sure that will go straight to his head.. then again he's a cat so he already KNOWS he's handsome! :)

Posted by: Kirsti at May 8, 2008 08:31 AM

Bob looks so serious! And now, Bob, with tonight's headlines.....

Posted by: Julia G at May 8, 2008 03:01 PM

I <3 Bob..

Posted by: Janice at May 8, 2008 04:17 PM

I think Bob'd be an excellent detective. Those stary eyes and taciturn silence would have me confessing to speeding and illegal parking in no time...

Posted by: Denise at May 9, 2008 07:30 AM

I think Bob's picture looks too good to be a DMV mugshot. My state ID pictures have always been uniformly horrible.

Of course, I now want to make a faux license for Bob anyway!
