'''Bob''' is a [[lazy]] [[cat]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}} who appears in all games to date. His name may be derived from {{Wp|bobcat}}. According to series co-creator [[Hisashi Nogami]], Bob was the first villager created, and his January 1 birthday came as a result of that.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nishikawa-kun|date=September 4, 2020|url=https://www.famitsu.com/news/202009/04205284.html|title=『どうぶつの森』がインターネットを介さないオンラインゲームとして開発が始まり、『あつ森』に至るまで。シリーズの歴史と変遷を開発者たちが語る【CEDEC 2020】|site=Famitsu|retrieved=March 12, 2021}}</ref>

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
[[File:Bob PG.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Bob from {{PG}}.]]
===Appearance===
Bob is a purple cat with dark purple polka dots, half-closed lazy yellow eyes, and light purple paws. The inside of his ears are pink, and his tail is purple with darker purple stripes.

===Personality===
{{Pers|lazy}}

As a [[lazy]] villager, Bob has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle and will appear friendly toward the player. He often talks about food and is humorous or naïve during conversations. During conversations with other villagers, he generally gets along well with [[peppy]], [[smug]], and [[cranky]] villagers, while [[snooty]] and [[jock]] villagers may not get along with him due to their conflicting lifestyles. In {{NH|short}}, Bob goes to sleep at 11 PM and wakes up at 8 AM.
