Barnaby is a cross-eyed Persian cat known for his melancholic expression and love of sleep, clocking in about 20 hours a day. Despite leading a content life, he appears to be a ɡɩoomу, apathetic aristocat, but his owner reveals he can pull off a variety of looks.

Barnaby enjoys being caressed on his own terms and is quite selective about receiving pets. He turns five in May and was the only cat in the household until his little sister arrived, though he wasn’t too thrilled about it. Despite his quirks, his owners adore him and consider him a spoiled but lovable feline.
