Bob the Writing Cat returns this week with a deeply personal (and deeply drowsy) meditation on the sacred art of napping. In this episode, Bob shares his time-tested four-step nap protocol, explains why rest is not a luxury but a survival strategy, and issues an Executive Order declaring guilt-free flopping mandatory. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overworked, or simply chocolate-deprived, this episode is your official permission slip to lie down and shut the world out.

In this beautifully reflective episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob writes a letter to his younger self. It’s tender, wise, and surprisingly moving…filled with hard-won truths about resilience, rest, and the importance of never shrinking to fit someone else’s comfort.

Through his signature mix of quiet defiance and feline eloquence, Bob shares the lessons he wishes he’d known earlier: how to endure with grace, how to love without losing yourself, and how to build a life full of dignity, softness, and naps taken with intention.

This episode includes: – A letter to Bob’s younger self (but also, maybe, to yours) – Gentle encouragement for misunderstood souls – Emotional depth disguised as feline philosophy – And a reminder that you are already enough, as you are

In this delightfully sharp episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob the Writing Cat shares his most powerful life strategy: disinterest—the sacred art of strategic emotional disengagement.

With signature wit and unwavering judgment, Bob explains why not every loud opinion, chaotic person, or poorly loaded dishwasher deserves your energy. Through wisdom earned on the back of the couch, he reminds us that peace isn’t about fixing the world—it’s about knowing when to simply walk away. Slowly. With meaning.

This episode includes: – The difference between apathy and elegant disinterest – A squirrel-related exception to the rule – Bob’s foolproof system for emotional conservation – And a call to arms for those who need a little less drama in their day

If you've been feeling over-engaged, overwhelmed, or just over it, this episode is your permission slip to opt out—with dignity.

Episode 4 – How to Handle Being Misunderstood In this deeply personal episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob the Writing Cat explores what it means to be misunderstood...and how to handle it with the quiet power of someone who refuses to shrink.

From being called “grumpy” when he’s simply dignified, to watching The Woman navigate a world that often labels softness as weakness, Bob shares his feline philosophy on standing firm in your truth...even when others don’t see you clearly.

This episode includes: – Bob’s reflections on being misread and misjudged – A soft rebuke of people who “project nonsense” – Subtle emotional devastation wrapped in tail-flicking confidence – Gentle encouragement for every soul who’s ever felt unseen

Whether you’ve been accused of being too much, too distant, or too quiet, this one’s for you.

So press play, take a breath, and remember:You are not required to be understood by everyone. Only to be true to yourself.

In this episode of Bob Out Loud, Bob the Writing Cat lays down the law. Literally.

From cabinet door violations to the sacred rituals of food bowl etiquette, Bob delivers a firm (and slightly judgmental) reminder that household rules are not open to interpretation. With the woman reading on his behalf—while he naps, of course—Bob explains why structure is love, boundaries are necessary, and your “creative chaos” is not as charming as you think.

You’ll laugh, you’ll reflect, and you might just realize that Bob’s rules… make more sense than some of your own.

This episode includes:– Bob’s Top 3 Household Rules (you’ve probably broken all of them)– A stern warning to squirrels, dogs, and humans everywhere– Emotional closure via tail-flicking wisdom– And a gentle reminder that while your best may not be enough, Bob sees the effort

Whether you're new to the Bobington universe or a long-time follower of Bob's weekly dispatches, this episode is for anyone who’s ever ignored a clearly marked boundary and lived to tell the tale.

So fluff your throw blanket, take notes, and prepare to be judged—with love.

Follow, rate, and share with a fellow rule-breaker.And remember:The rules are not suggestions. Especially the nap schedule.

And we know how to use it.

Perfect for anyone in need of a new week pep talk, a silent act of resistance, or a masterclass in dignified disapproval.
