Lylie's Latest Litter Part 5: Barry [redux]

February 16, 2012

Astrid and Florian say: This is Barry. He's named for Barry White and he has very special whitish-greyish-blue eyes. He used to be a lovely and calm cat like his mom, our cat Lylie, but now he learns a lot of tricks from the other cats… and he has discovered how fun it is to eat feet. Anyway, he is also very sweet and purrs every time you wake him up. He also tends to check what's for dinner on the main table, but as he is quite difficult with food, he will not eat anything. However, he has a very funny way to "drink" water -- he puts his "hand" into the water bowl and then licks it. And when you give him a glass of water… well, he tries to eat the glass itself! He stayed with his parents and older brother Zorro in the house where he was born.

Wow, what a beautiful cat. I don't think I'd mind too much if he ate my toes, I have neuropathy and wouldn't feel a thing. lol

What a precious little face. Want to kiss his little nose and scritch him between the ears.

@Els, I went to your portfolio and loved the photos, especially the very pregnant bride and the so happy celebrants at all the weddings. These pictures are full of life and joy. And are never stiff or posed. Thank you.

What a handsome little guy! My cat "drinks" water from her paws, too! I like to put ice cubes in her dish - she gets very confused when they make that cracking noise as they melt.
