Personal:
Hobbes is a very
exceptional young man. He is easily spotted by thevery pronounced "12" over his
left eye. He is now sharing a cage with BamBam, Tally-Ho, Wally, Lucas, and Lisa Dawn.
They love to play together. Hobbes also likes to travel, so he is one of the tigers that
goesto the different schools with Tanya and Scott. He has been to DePaul University to
promote the "Exotic Cat Management" program offered at DePaul. He also has the
opportunity to go for walks on a leash and play at the creek because of his great
understanding of his human friends. He is one of the cats that is featured in the 1998
