Barney, the Cat of the Day
Name: Barney
Age: Ten years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Ragdoll
Home: Eaton Rapids, Michigan, USA
 
   This is my cat Barney. He came to me via my son who got him as a gift from his girlfriend. When they split up I took Barney since my son couldn't care for him. Barney joined our household of our older cat Chloe and two dogs Brandi and Fred. A year after we got Barney I fell and tore the tendon in my knee and was out of work for nine weeks while I spent most of my time in bed. During that time the only way I can describe it is that Barney took possession of me to the point where our other cat Chloe wasn't allowed in the bedroom. The bed became his domain and he ruled the roost which he still does.

    He is the most loving sweetest tempered cat ever and he has the most beautiful blue eyes. He loves to snuggle with me every morning before I get up and also before we settle down to go to sleep at night. He's very laid back and nothing bothers him. He's not very vocal except when he wants to go outside and he is very persistent if you don't let him out. He likes to roll around on the driveway and sniff the bushes on the front sidewalk and I have to watch him carefully because he likes to sneak away.

    I didn't know it was possible to love something as much as I love him. He's brought such joy to my life and I'm looking forward to many more years with him.
