More of the Sweetest Cat I Have Ever Known


We found a few more pics of Bartleby. These show off her green eyes and don't-bother-me attitude.


She was with us for about a year and a half. She just showed up in the back yard one day all skin and bones and bedraggled matted fur. My brother took her in based on the philosophy that "No cat is going to starve to death on my property!" She recovered nicely.

                                                          
Her hips were weak, possibly dysplasiac, although they never caused her any apparent pain or lack of mobility except an unwillingness to jump very far. We never did figure out how old she was. Neighbor Dan thinks she was older than she looked and may have "just stopped" yesterday. We have no evidence to the contrary.



For all her pretend aloofness, she really did like to cuddle and be petted and groomed and treated like the princess she knew she was.

Paribanour displays a similar sweet disposition but she'll never be another Bartleby.

Once again, goodbye lovely cat.
