Manchester, New Hampshire, Cat Encapsulates Our Current Mood Perfectly

U Local New Hampshire is one of my favorite groups on Facebook to follow. It has everything from adorable babies to gorgeous sunrises over lake Winnipesaukee, a field of vibrant lupines in bloom, and everything in between. It's a nice, positive corner of the internet, and we need that these days.

Yesterday, Gary Gagne decided to give the people what they want and shared a photo of his adorable cat Bode to the group.

His hair reminds me of Kramer from Seinfeld, and I could not love it more:

The internet went wild, and the likes and comments came pouring in. Some of my favorites include:

mmmm not today – Laurel

 

Dare I say grumpy cat? But adorable!  – Cindy

 

I can vaguely see the resemblance. Perhaps Bode is a distant cousin of Grumpy Cat.

A teenager, right? – Judi

 

My hair looks like that in the morning too.  – Kim

Lots of people were asking more about Bode, and his owner Gary was kind enough to share a little of Bode's story with me.

Bode was actually only 10 weeks old in the photo he shared, and he is now 10 YEARS old!  They got Bode from a breeder in Lebanon called NH Himalayans.

He joined their family during the Winter Olympics, and since he proved to be quite the jumper, they named him after Bode Miller.

He has a brother named Max, who is eight. Here are the two nice lads hanging out more recently.

Thanks for sharing Bode's essence with the internet, Gary! He's all kinds of awesome.
