Meet Mr. Bates
The Most Handsome Boy in the World.
1/21/2019
Mr. Bates is a 15 pound fur nugget that has brought so much joy and snuggles to my life.
Bates was adopted a few months after I moved to Orlando in 2015. He was 3.5 years old and a hefty thing! But after only a few minutes in the playroom I knew he was coming home with me!
Ever since that day in February he has been the most precious thing in my household and I couldn't love him anymore!
Named after my favorite Downton Abbey Character, Mr. Bates is affectionate, sociable, and always ready for a snuggle. Bates loves impromptu treats, sitting in sunny spots, leaving fur everywhere, and playing with his yellow feather toy. (yellow is the only one he will play with!)
Bates's quirks include enjoying a sleeping spot for weeks at a time and then abandoning for a new spot, never to return to the old one again... Loving Jersey Mike's turkey meat - but no other turkey meat... Pawing your ice cream spoon away from your mouth and right to his.

As my Dad always says, "That's one lucky cat." But I am honestly the lucky one. He is the chunkiest chunk, the most beautiful loaf, and the most wonderful little buddy a person could ask for!
P.S. He is curiously watching me type this right now. He knows! "It's hard being so perfect isn't it, Batesy?"
