Oh what a handsome gentleman you are Barney! It's so very sad that you spent so much of your life just being "barn cat" and not appreciated or loved . Oh but Barney, the tale of how you blossomed under your human's gentle love is a heartwarmer to rival all others! And what a gem of a feline heart was waiting to be discovered! You have certainly given that heart to a very deserving human, Barney.
I am very thankful for the cat who "came with the barn," what a joy he has become!!
This sentence just made me feel awash with love and warm feelings. Your story belongs in a Chicken Soup book Barney! I hope today you have an EXTRA special day today with all your favorite activities and plenty of pampering from your human. Congratulations on being our MOST deserving, most loving and inspiring Cat of the Day!
