My barn cat "Uncle Ted" always gets on the ground like that so I can rub his belly. He's a very sweet and loving cat considering he weighs 15 pounds!

This guy looks lean, but he weighs in at about twelve pounds.

Barn cats can be such sweethearts. There's a calico out at my father's farm that is very loving and affectionate. She's a very sweet girl. I don't think barn cats get enough love and respect!

Here's what Uncle Ted looks like. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13252000/

Oh yes they are. I've had a lot of barn cats in my life, including a very special one who was a outdoor and indoor cat. I had her for 20 or so years before she passed away, just before she died I made her a house cat due to the fact she could no longer hear and wouldn't have survived outside for long.

Her name was Spatz and was like a child to me since she always came to me to get attention and love.
