Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This fellow is truly a beautiful soul. While growing stronger after several dental surgeries, his beauty, personality and warmth are really beginning to shine! Bartleby is an affectionate cat that is surprisingly bold and friendly with new people. He enjoys curling up on your lap or just sitting in a soft chair next to you. Although he is a mature adult, he likes to play with his toy mice and soft rolling balls. He does startle easily with sudden movements above him, so you are invited to get down on the floor to play a gentle game of ball. He is most full of energy in the morning at breakfast time. If he thinks that you are sleeping past breakfast time, he will come to the side of your bed and then, with tail high in the air, he will race joyfully to his food bowl. He will do this until we simple humans get the message. He loves belly rubs and being around humans, and would do best as the only cat in the house.
