Other Cats (Other than Other Cat)
In addition to the original Handsome Jack, there are two "other" cats at my house, Barry and Freddie Choo. This is not the best photo of either of them but it does give you some idea of their relative size. Freddie (orange) is a regular sized cat, weighing in at about 11.5 pounds. Barry (black) weighs 33 pounds. Both are refugees from the Humane Society. Both were half price because they had "problems".Freddie tends to worry a lot and frets when he can't find the other two, or the bowl is empty, or he's lonesome, or whatever. He has one bad eye and so is also known as Dead Eye Dick, but is more frequently referred to as Freddie the Prick.
Barry is a sweetheart. He never gets off the bed unless it's something really important like supper time. He has a beautiful baritone singing voice. His full name is Barrymore Joseph Bunt.
Freddie is also a clean freak so is constantly trying to bath the other two. Barry tends to view this as a nuisance. When he gets fed up, he does a "walk on" right on top of Freddie and then sits down. This usually puts an end to the aggravation.

Barry is such an oddball. I have great empathy for the poor slob. The other two cats are normal, frisky felines, and Barrymore has to struggle just to keep in the game. He's truly a gentle giant.
See the good news is, Barry doesn't know there's a problem. He just ambles along between bed and dish. Nobody hassles him. Life is good :)
Barry kind of reminds me of Spoticus - OC's recently deceased cat...
My kitty is named Mouse. I think she is a cokehead. Her time is normally spent acting like someone stuck an occasionally live wire in her butt. Her full name is Mouse Toad, Cat of the North. I love my kitty :)
Barry and Spoticus had a difficult relationship. Barry was invited to visit shortly after Other passed away, but Spot wouldn't have any part of it. In spite of the considerable difference in size, Spot drove Barry into a closet and kept him there for two days. He was a gentleman about it however. He knew he was in someone elses territory.
Mouse sounds like my Jack. He gets the rips now again and tears around the place full blast.
