Bonkers and the Ghost of Barney

In a rare moment of calm Bonkers is relaxing while I take his photo. We let Bonkers enjoy the outdoors but only on the screened in front porch. He enjoys this thoroughly watching all the birds and squirrels in the yard. The darker spots on his cheeks are dark freckles.

Bonkers likes to play with his water bowl. The pom poms in the other bowl are some of his favorite toys. He carries them around like they're his "babies". Sometimes he drops his "babies" in the water and later brings them in and they are soaked through.

Here you can see Bonkers has spilled a bit of his water. He moves the water bowl with his foot and then seems fascinated with the moving water. Bonkers likes to cuddle every morning for at least half an hour. He lays in my arms in front of the computer. If I put him down too soon he climbs right back up again. He won't take no for an answer.

You may think this unbelievable but Gary said many times in the middle of the night when the coyotes are yipping nearby, he feels a cat climb on the bed and start purring. The cat lays in the same spot Barney always did. The first time this happened Gary thought it was a dream but it has happened so often he now knows it isn't a dream. We're sure it's the ghost of Barney returning to visit us. Sometimes there are mysteries we can't explain but it doesn't mean they aren't true. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
