Shibby, he equals cool

April

Oh my, does he ever. Just look at these pics. This cat knows he rules. Close up please!

These pictures are courtesy of my fellow Rangers fan (I shan’t give his name away) who goes by CCCP on the Rangers blog. They both are from Odessa. Is the blogosphere not the coolest way to meet people or what?! Here’s another pic of Shibby, followed by more and his story from CCCP after the jump (I asked Shib’s dad for info and he provided. Thanks!) P.S. I call this photo, “I can kick your butt at yoga. Meow.”

I call this photo, “You are are so jealous you are not me. Stretch. Meow.”Before more pics, Shibby’s story. Take it away CCCP:

Shibby is a boy… a real bad one too! He is 5 years old. I saw an ad in a Russian newspaper… called the lady from the ad up… and got Shibby for a quarter on the day of my birthday, May 9. His mom is pure white and the daddy is as dark as night J

He is a tough cat with very strong personality. He doesn’t like to be touched BUT he loves to be the center of attention! If there is a gathering in the house Shibby would come in and just lay in the center of the crowd and he would have this serious look on his face as if he is following the conversation! Chow time for Shibby begins at 6AM! And here is what he does: First, he gets up on his back feet and pushes the door open… and runs straight in… While I’m lying in the bed the only thing i could see is his excited tail pointing to the ceiling! He will run around the bed…then comes back … stands on his hind feet…get his face close to my face and starts singing very loud!! He would scream until he gets what he wants and i got no choice but to get up and feed him lol. He also loves to hunt people’s feet by hiding under the bed and attacking when you least expecting! His favorite place to chill is on top of the fridge… Oh and the name… well, actually my fiancé gave him the name. We were watching a movie “Dude where is my car” and the character named Jesse (played by Ashton Kutcher) says the phrase “Shibby” few times throughout the movie. It means wasted or cool, great etc. Also, Shibbying = partying … We looked it up in Urban Dictionary and loved it! So that is how the name came about.

Me here again….Excellent tale pal, thanks! Here’s more of Shibby, who I think rocks. Check out the look on his face and in his eyes. This boy knows he is king. Hysterical.
