Barclay gets into stuff

The cats have been encouraging Barclay to play rough with them, despite our trying to discourage it. Now he has taken to grabbing them by the scruff and dragging them around the house! They yowl and hiss, but once he has them by the scruff they just give up. I’d get more involved, but they keep coming back for more, and if they really didn’t like it, they could clean his clock!

Mighty squeezes herself into a shoebox Barclay drug out of the closet.

Barclay is 17lbs now, almost as big as Alki, just not as fluffy.

More Barclay (big surprise, huh)

Alki is still not too happy about Barclay, but sometimes they can tolerate being in the same space. Here they are begging for popcorn in the kitchen. Actually Alki is begging for popcorn. Barclay doesn’t know what they’re doing there!


Mighty watches Barclay playing, with a surprisingly relaxed pose. I don’t know why the cats are even on the floor around him, but they seem to be warming up to him. I think they will be buddies someday.


After a hard day of playing, Barclay collapses wherever he happens to be. I can even pick him up and move him around and he doesn’t wake up!


Dave is holding Barclay in a submissive position, which we practice with him everyday, at our vets advice. It’s supposed to be a gentle way to remind him what his place is! Sometimes he just lays there, and sometimes he pitches a fit before he gives up and relaxes.
