Meet The Persian Cat Barnaby Who Always Looks Like He Didn’t Have His Morning Coffee Yet (30 Pics)
Cats come in many shapes and sizes: some are fluffy, some are slim, some are hyper, and some are sleepy. What it teaches us is that there is no wrong way to be a cat. Barnaby, the hero of today's post, is a fluffy Persian whose key traits are his melancholic eyes, his permanent frown, and a 20-hour sleeping schedule.
Remember that phrase "turn that frown upside down?" Well, Barnaby wears his smile upside down. He surely lives a happy life, yet he looks like a gloomy, bored aristocat. Ah, the woes of a home cat, who would understand them?...
One might think that his face looks very monotonous, but in reality, he can pull off many different looks: he can do a great "I woke up at 6 in the morning" impression, or "I've slept for 20 years, but I want to sleep more" look, or the "permanent bad hair day," and the classic "pleas gib" that's popular among many felines.

We still work with Barnaby's line and currently have 2 kittens from his daddy. 👉Persiankittens.com👈
Barnaby is a very reserved, lonesome cat, and prefers to get the pets only when he lets. Aside from his long sleeping scheduling, he likes to lay around in random places of the house, eat food, and just be an all-round normal cat. He's more relatable than you might think!

Barnaby's owner told some extra details to Bored Panda about the melancholic fluffball: “Barnaby will be 5 in May. He was the only cat for a while until we welcomed his little sister last year (Barnaby wasn’t as welcoming). He is very spoiled and likes to sleep about 20 hours a day. He naps on my chair (mom’s) during the day so if I want to sit down, I have to sit on the floor. He only likes to be petted when he’s in the mood. We love him.”

He looks like he's standing with his shoulders hunched while wondering where the f**k his coffee is that you were supposed to get a whole 30 seconds ago, followed by bitching about "Damn kids these days"

Does he really look like that or do you fluff him up for pics? I do love that face. I almost want one, but alas I already have 4 regular boys, that someone threw away on my road. They always gravitate to my house. It starts with a hungry looking cat, but they won’t let me touch them. I feed them. Next they stand on the edges of my garden. By June they’ll walk into the garden. In July, they wait for me in the garden. They might allow me to touch their head. By August, I can pet them. I worry about them getting hit by cars or eaten by coyotes. By September, they know what door I exit the house. By October, I pick them up. A the end of October, I carry them inside because winter is coming & no more garden. I won’t let them suffer in the cold. By December I have a kitty blanket (3-4) when I relax in my recliner. This has gone on for 30 yrs.

Barnaby actually has exotropia, which is when the eyes look outwards. (i.e. he's not cross-eyed). :)

That is one extremely beautiful cat! But, why such sad eyes? Those eyes are Aquamarine. Very unusual, and extremely rare. Oh, and that fur coat? Just fabulous!
