I have one of exactly the same. Eyes match the fur, and the tail is
unusually (embarrassingly!) long and follows him about like an afterthought,
like a
conductor leading a silent orchestra. Only his name is Goldenrod. He's
totally
indoors - as all mine are - outside, he would become an appetizer - bobcats
sitting in the roadway, ya know.
Hobbes...hmmm. You don't perhaps have a small boy named Calvin?
