When I moved into my house 10.5 years ago, a friend set me up with this homeless guy who was hanging around the neighborhood. Gray & white longhair. When he hit 15.5 pounds the vet put him on a diet.

Barnabas is the only cat I've ever owned or been owned by. He's a great lap cat when I'm in his chair. Otherwise he's just in the chair without me. He keeps me company at night & never gets me up earlier than I want to.
